What if Wendy first traveled to Never Land with Captain Hook? Now in a deluxe paperback edition featuring gorgeous printed edges! Head for the second star to the right in this tale inspired by Peter Pan, from the New York Times bestselling series that reimagines beloved Disney films. Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling’s life is not what she imagined it would be. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess—it all makes her wish things could be different. Wendy’s only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. She also holds on to his shadow. So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn’t quite the place she imagined it would be—unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help. But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it’s up to Wendy and Tinkerbell to save Peter Pan—and his home.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • What if it was Ellie who went UP to Paradise Falls? Adventure is out there in this tale inspired by Disney*Pixar's Up from the New York Times bestselling series that reimagines beloved Disney films in new ways! Sixteen-year-old Ellie McGill is fed up. Sure, for some, life in small town Americana is idyllic. Nothing but picket fences and USO dances and holiday parades. But Ellie has long dreamed of towering mountains, tangled jungles, and most of all…traveling to the incredible South American landmark, Paradise Falls. Ellie thought these dreams made her strange, until she met her sweet best friend Carl (when he promptly broke his leg in her clubhouse). Carl is Ellie’s closest confidante. He’s also the only one able to talk her off a ledge. But things between them seem weird lately as Ellie grows increasingly frustrated with his quiet way of doing things. And is it just her, or are there new feelings bubbling up between them? Then Ellie begins her dream internship at the local zoo, where the flashy millionaire owner organizes an expedition to Paradise Falls to collect new specimens. But the star newcomer, a bird given to him by Charles Muntz himself, doesn’t adjust well to his new home and Ellie is put in charge of its seemingly hopeless recovery. Carl advises Ellie to lay low, to not make waves. But that’s not something Ellie has ever been good at. And when an opportunity comes for a last minute, emergency rescue mission, she decides to take it. Will Ellie’s impulsiveness finally get the better of her? Or will she get the adventure she always wanted . . . and at what cost?

What if Ariel had never defeated Ursula? Discover a new side of The Little Mermaid in this darkly romantic reimagining of the classic Disney film—now available as a graphic novel! It's been five years since the infamous sea witch defeated the little mermaid . . . and took King Triton's life in the process. Ariel is now the voiceless queen of Atlantica, while Ursula runs Prince Eric's kingdom on land. But when Ariel discovers that her father might still be alive, she finds herself returning to a world—and a prince—she never imagined she would see again. Ursula has been making the most of her role as princess: With the kingdom—and Prince Eric—under her spell, the sea witch has been plotting, scheming, and waging war. And after the disguised sea witch catches wind that Ariel has resurfaced, her thirst for power threatens both land and sea. It's up to Ariel to overthrow the murderous villain before Ursula can destroy her home, her prince, and the world she once longed to be a part of. In this adaptation of one of the most popular books in the New York Times best-selling Twisted Tale series, brilliantly adapted by Stephanie Kate Strohm, illustrator duo Kelly and Nichole Matthews breathe new life into this story of power, love, and a mermaid's quest to reclaim her voice.

E se la madre di Belle avesse maledetto la Bestia? Una ragazza giovane, intelligente e piena di interessi come Belle non può non sentirsi soffocare dalla mentalità ristretta e provinciale del piccolo villaggio dove abita. Lei sogna di viaggiare, di esplorare il mondo, non certo di sposare il bellimbusto locale solo perché tutti se lo aspettano da lei. Eppure il destino le ha riservato una sorte diversa. Partita alla ricerca del padre scomparso, Belle si imbatte in un mistero che ha le radici proprio nel suo lontano passato. Qualcuno riemerso dalla nebbia dei ricordi potrebbe fornirle la chiave per sciogliere il sortilegio nato da una incontrollabile, per quanto legittima, sete di vendetta. Nelle mani di Belle non c'è solo la vita della Bestia e degli abitanti del castello, ma anche la sopravvivenza di un intero popolo, condannato a scomparire perché "diverso" dalla normalità...

Mitä jos Tähkäpään äiti valitsi väärin? Valtakunnan rakastettu, perillistä odottava kuningatar on vakavasti sairas. Hänen ainoa toivonsa on auringonkyynel-taikakukasta tehty rohto, mutta pahaksi onneksi lääke on valmistettu väärästä lajikkeesta, kuunkyyneleestä. Kuningatar paranee ja synnyttää terveen tyttären, mutta maagisten, kuunhohtoisten hiusten lisäksi Tähkäpääksi kutsutulle tytölle kasvaa myös voima – satuttaa, ei parantaa. Omansa ja muiden turvallisuuden vuoksi tyttö suljetaan torniin, jossa hänestä huolehtii voimakastahtoinen äiti Gothel. Yhdeksäntoista pitkää vuotta Tähkäpää pysyy tornissa, mutta viimein kiusaus kasvaa liian suureksi ja hän karkaa nähdäkseen syntymäpäivänsä kunniaksi taivaalle laskettavat lyhdyt. Matkalla Tähkäpää lyöttäytyy kahden nuoren varkaan seuraan ja ymmärtää viimein, ettei hänen elämänsä ja tulevaisuutensa ole pelkästään hiusten varassa.

Unter dem Motto "Disney-Märchen mal anders" geht die Autorin nach der Elsa-und-Anna-Geschichte der Frage nach, was wäre, wenn Aladdin niemals die Wunderlampe gefunden hätte. In ihrer Version stiehlt Dschafar die Lampe noch bevor Aladdin die Höhle betritt und nutzt seine ersten beiden Wünsche um Sultan und der mächtigste Zauberer der Welt zu werden. Um ihn aufzuhalten, müssen Aladdin und die abgesetzt Prinzessin Jasmin das Volk von Agrabah zu einer Rebellion zu vereinen. Während zunächst quasi der Beginn des Zeichentrickfilms nacherzählt wird, wird die Geschichte zunehmend zu einem fantasievollen Gedankenspiel. Die meisten Disney-Fans werden viel Spass mit dieser "twisted tale" haben - für ein paar wenige Purist*innen könnte die originelle Umschreibung der Geschichte etwas zu "verdreht" sein. Ab 14.

"Desperate to save the life of their queen and her unborn child, the good citizens of the kingdom comb the land for the all-healing Sundrop flower to cure her . . . but someone mistakenly picks the blossom of the Moondrop instead. This shimmering flower heals the queen and she delivers a healthy baby girl with hair as silver and gray as the moon. But with her mysterious hair comes dangerous magical powers: the power to hurt, not heal. For the safety of the kingdom, Rapunzel is locked away in a tower and put under the care of the powerful goodwife, Mother Gothel. For eighteen years Rapunzel stays imprisoned in her tower, knowing she must protect everyone from her magical hair. When she finally decides to leave the only home she's ever known--to see the floating lights that appear on her birthday--she gets caught up in an unexpected adventure with two thieves: a would-be outlaw named Gina, and Flynn Rider, a rogue on the run. Before she can reach her happy ending, Rapunzel learns that there is far more to her story, and her magical hair, and her future than she ever knew."--Publisher's description.

No Stuffy has ever gone into the Darkness and returned....Clark can't wait to go away to camp this year. For the first time ever, he has actual friends to hang out with. Catherine-Lucille and D. A. will both be at Camp I Can with Clark, and C. L. has already promised to induct him into her exclusive camp club—the one for campers who know everything there is to know about the world of Monsters and how Stuffies protect kids from them. And now that he knows (or suspects . . . very strongly) that his grandma-made Stuffy, Foon, heroically saved his own father from a horrible fate, Clark is obviously bringing Foon to camp along with him.But once Clark gets to camp, he and his friends discover things are off. There are strange, gooey findings in some of the bunks, the adults are acting weird, and, worst of all, their Stuffies and dolls go missing right at the moment they need them the most—when they go on the intersession camping trip and end up trapped in a creepy old cabin. What Clark and his friends don't know, and what the mighty Foon soon discovers, is that the Monsters have launched a revenge campaign against Foon—a campaign that entails sucking the very life out of Clark. Now it's up to Foon to enter the World of Darkness and take on the Monster in charge in order to stop the plot and save Clark's life. In the long tradition of Stuffies vs. Monsters, this one's a battle for the ages—one that will certainly go down in Stuffy history.

What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late? Alice is different to other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her.

But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects-the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. There''s something eerily o. about them, even for Wonderland creatures. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all-a badly injured, dark-haired girl asking for Alice''s help. Mary Ann. Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts'' tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. But will she be able to do so... before the End of Time?
