Como futura reina de Arendelle, la vida de la princesa Elsa está llena de expectativas y responsabilidades, pero sobre todo de preguntas. ¿Qué tipo de gobernante será? ¿Cuándo tendrá que elegir un pretendiente? ¿Y por qué siempre ha tenido la sensación de que le falta una parte vital de sí misma? Tras la inesperada muerte de sus padres, Elsa se ve obligada a responder estas preguntas antes de lo esperado: se convierte en la reina de su pueblo y cada vez se siente más sola. Cuando unos misteriosos poderes aparecen, Elsa comienza a recordar pequeñas partes de su infancia hasta entonces enterradas en la memoria; momentos que incluyen a una niña de aspecto muy familiar. Decidida a llenar el vacío que siempre ha sentido, Elsa debe afrontar un desgarrador viaje a través de su gélido reino para deshacer una terrible maldición... y encontrar a la princesa perdida de Arendelle.

Following her beloved mothers death, Snow Whites kingdom falls into the hands of her stepmother, commonly referred to as the Evil Queen by those she rules. Snow keeps her head down at the castle, hoping to make the best of her situation. But when a plot to kill her goes awry, everything changes for Snow. With the help of a group of wary dwarfs, a kind prince she thought shed never see again, and a mysterious figure from her past, Snow embarks on a quest to stop the Evil Queen and take back her kingdom. But can she stop an enemy who knows her every move and will do anything to hold on to power...including go after the ones Snow loves?

What if Anna and Elsa never knew each other? As the future queen of Arendelle, Princess Elsa leads a life full of expectations and responsibilities—not to mention questions. What type of ruler will she be? When will she have to pick a suitor? And why has she always harbored the feeling that some critical piece of her is missing? Following the unexpected death of her parents, Elsa is forced to answer those questions sooner than she''d hoped, becoming the sole ruler of her kingdom and growing lonelier than ever. But when mysterious powers begin to reveal themselves, Elsa starts to remember fragments of her childhood that seem to have been erased—fragments that include a familiar-looking girl. Determined to fill the void she has always felt, Elsa must take a harrowing journey across her icy kingdom to undo a terrible curse . . . and find the missing princess of Arendelle.

The Nightingales have no chance of making it to the big state final if their captains are at each other''s throats. Their only hope is new girl Julianna Ramirez. But in addition to her serious pipes, she has some serious stage fright. The Nightingales will have to come together if they want to shine at the upcoming competition and restore the group to its former glory.Turn It Up! follows Lidia, Sydney, and Julianna through the ups and downs of friendship, romance, competition, and finding the perfect song!

The third installment in the beloved Fairy Tale Reform School series where the teachers are (former) villains Things are changing at Fairy Tale Reform School. At least, that''s what Gilly''s heard through the Enchantasia rumor mill. Word is, notorious trickster Rumpelstiltskin has taken over management from Headmistress Flora, and he''s locked down the school tighter than the Pied Piper''s pants. Not that this news concerns Gilly. She''s been released from FTRS and is now attending (suffering through) Jack of All Trades School, where she gets to learn about different kinds of shoe leather and ways to measure feet. Truly riveting stuff. But when Gilly''s little sister Anna gets whisked off to FTRS thanks to her troublemaking new friends, Hansel and Gretel, Gilly knows she''s got to get Anna out of there. There''s only one thing to do; make some serious trouble and get thrown back into FTRS. It''s time to out-trick a trickster. This series is perfect for read-alongs between parents and kids and engaging reluctant readers.

The second installment in the beloved Fairy Tale Reform School series where the teachers are (former) villains Sometimes it''s good to be bad... It takes a (mostly) reformed thief to catch a spy. Which is why Gilly Cobbler, Enchantasia''s most notorious pickpocket, volunteers to stay locked up at Fairy Tale Reform School...indefinitely. Gilly and her friends may have defeated the Evil Queen and become reluctant heroes, but the battle for Enchantasia has just begun. Alva, aka The Wicked One who cursed Sleeping Beauty, has declared war on the Princesses, and she wants the students of Fairy Tale Reform School to join her. As her criminal classmates give in to temptation, Gilly goes undercover as a Royal Lady in Waiting (don''t laugh) to unmask a spy...before the mole can hand Alva the keys to the kingdom. Her parents think Gilly the Hero is completely reformed, but sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. Sometimes it''s good to be bad... This series is perfect for read-alongs between parents and kids and engaging reluctant readers.

After her brilliant run on Broadway and surviving the harsh concrete jungle of New York City, seventeen-year-old Hollywood "It Girl" Kaitlin Burke is back in LA starring in a sitcom with her former-nemesis-now-BFF, Sky. The show is a huge success! In fact, maybe a little too huge, Kaitlin realizes, after a bad run-in with aggressive paparazzi that puts her boyfriend Austin in danger. Once again, she wishes that she could have a normal life. But what Kaitlin doesn''t realize is that her Hollywood life has had a positive influence on just about everyone she loves, and it takes a minor car accident and a nasty concussion to truly grasp how lucky she is. In Jen Calonita''s sixth and final Secrets of My Hollywood Life novel, Kaitlin learns at last about the price of fame, the unending upside of friendship, and that there really is no place like home - even if it''s Tinseltown.

Hollywood teen starlet Kaitlin Burke moves to New York for the summer to appear in a Broadway show, all the while worrying about her boyfriend back in Los Angeles, her handsome new co-star, and the offstage drama going on around her.

When Sam''s best friend gets her first boyfriend, she''s not ready to spend the summer listening to the two of them call each other "pookie." Sick of being a third wheel, Sam applies to be a counselor-in-training at Whispering Pines camp in the New York Catskills. But what she doesn''t realize is that it''s not going to be all Kumbaya sing-alongs and gooey s''mores. If Ashley, the alpha queen of Whispering Pines, doesn''t ruin Sam''s summer, then her raging crush on the surfer-blond and flirtatious Hunter just might. At least she has playful Cole, who''s always teasing her, but is oh-so-comfortable to hang out with, and the singular gang of girls that become fast friends with Sam-they call themselves the Sleepaway Girls.

In the second book in Jen Calonita''s six-book Secrets of My Hollywood Life series, it seems like this is going to be the summer of dreams come true for Hollywood celebrity princess Kaitlin Burke. The media loves her (again), super-cute and funny Austin Meyers is finally her boyfriend, and she''s starring in a blockbuster movie by her all-time favorite director Hutch Adams. What could be sweeter? But life on set is not nearly as perfect as the designer makeup and couture costumes. And with a slimy ex-boyfriend and a scheming new publicist on the scene, it''s about to get a whole lot messier....
