By Robert Louis Stevenson

TREASURE ISLAND

TO THE HESITATING PURCHASER\ \ If sailor tales to sailor tunes,\ Storm and adventure, heat and cold,\ If schooners, islands, and maroons,\ And buccaneers, and buried gold,\ And all the old romance, retold\ Exactly in the ancient way,\ Can please, as me they pleased of old,\ The wiser youngsters of today:\ \ --So be it, and fall on! If not,\ If studious youth no longer crave,\ His ancient appetites forgot,\ Kingston, or Ballantyne the brave,\ Or Cooper of the wood and wave:\ So be it, also! And may I\ And all my pirates share the grave\ Where these and their creations lie!

Adventures of the Axolotl

In the shimmering underwater world of Nymara, where coral cities glow and forgotten magic hums beneath the tides, one small axolotl with an oversized sense of curiosity keeps stumbling into the kinds of adventures most creatures only whisper about. Known for being both adorably unbothered *and* unintentionally heroic, this axolotl has a knack for drifting into mysteries, uncovering ancient secrets, and befriending creatures others fear. Whether exploring hidden lagoons, solving oceanic capers, or venturing into trenches no one dares to enter, each tale follows their gentle bravery, boundless wonder, and occasionally chaotic luck. Across the saga, the axolotl learns that even the tiniest ripple can change the entire sea - and that courage often looks like simply showing up, asking questions, and choosing kindness in the face of the unknown. From glowing reefs to shadowed depths, each book dives into a new corner of the oceanic realm, weaving together magic, exploration, friendship, and the quiet perseverance of a creature who never quite realizes they’re the hero of their own story.

The Faerie Godfather

Miriam Lockhart never believed in faeries—until they killed her. Now trapped in the faerie realm as a wandering spirit (and none too happy about it), Miriam must discover her unfinished business or remain a ghost forever. Her only guide is a Death Raven named Lucky I-Ain’t-You, whose record of escorting souls to the Great Beyond stands at, well, zero. Fates intertwined, the duo enters the realm of the Family LeFae, a riffraff band of faerie criminals locked in a brutal struggle against an oppressive monarchy. It’s only when Miriam sees her own misfortune mirrored in others that her heart undergoes an even bigger transformation. A dangerous deal is struck with Death incarnate to try and break the chains of the enslaved faerie folk. But it may cost Miriam the one thing she set out to save: her soul. Dark humor meets genuine heart in this haunting fantasy comparable to Adam Gitwitz’ *A Tale Dark and Grimm* or Lemony Snicket’s *Series of Unfortunate Events*.
