From Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series and New York Times bestseller Juniper's Christmas!

Acclaimed, mega-bestselling Eoin Colfer, named "a master storyteller" by School Library Journal, returns to the world of Juniper Lane for a lively new adventure! This time, Juniper takes off on a summertime quest in a story sure to delight young readers all year round.

Juniper and her loyal flying reindeer Skära are the first ever Guardians of Cedar Wood. With Juniper’s mentor Niko back in the North Pole, they’re entrusted with protecting the magical forest hidden in the middle of London because there’s a teeny-tiny chance that he left behind a few sparks of magic... but definitely not enough to attract any dangerous magical creatures. Probably.

It turns out Niko actually left behind a lot of magic, transforming the entire forest into a haven for powerful creatures just as he's stranded far from London. A witch wielding a flaming dagger, a cursed queen desperate for a cure, and a pack of wolves out for revenge are all in pursuit of a legendary fox with the power to grant a wish under the midsummer Blood Moon—and the very fate of the Cedar Wood, and possibly all of Britain, hangs in the balance. Protecting the forest from these calamitous newcomers is a lot of work for a thirteen-year-old and her trusty reindeer, but Juniper is determined to save the world.

And one more thing—this adventure features a giant ground sloth, which is about the size of a Toyota Prius, but with more claws.

The kingdom has been breached. Beware The Griefer! Four friends must defend their shared world in this official Minecraft novel.

With middle school starting, Lam Đặng is officially ready for a change. He loves to play Minecraft, embarking on epic builds with his crew—Jazz, Elias, and Britt—in their beloved shared world, the Kingdom of the Killer Bunnies. But Lam also wants to try new things and meet new people. So maybe going into sixth grade with a little distance from his old friends wouldn’t be such a bad thing. . . . 

Lam’s plans change, though, when mysterious letters show up in the gang’s lockers. Someone calling themselves The Griefer is threatening to destroy everything the Killer Bunnies worked so hard to build in the Overworld, from their magnificent castle to the surrounding village. If they don’t play The Griefer’s twisted game, everything will be lost. Lam may be ready for something new, but he’s not prepared to give up the old just yet. 

Following clues in both the real world and the Overworld, Lam and his friends race to beat The Griefer and save their kingdom, all while trying to puzzle out the identity of their new enemy. Who could do this to them? And, more important, can The Griefer be stopped before it’s too late?

With brand-new, full-color illustrations, the book that started the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series comes alive in full bloom and geared for a new modern middle grade audience.
