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?

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 than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. She''d rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian''s lively salon, ignoring her sister''s wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss. Yao''s teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She''s also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she''s curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming. 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 off 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 able to do so . . . before the End of Time?

Welcome, little one. You have been chosen to join us, in the dark and in the light, in love and in cloth, in safety and in danger. You join us. Everyone thinks that Clark is too old to still play with stuffed animals. He''s almost eleven! Bullies target him at school while his mother tries increasingly un-subtle ways to wean him off his toys and introduce more "normal" interests. But Clark can''t shake the feeling that his stuffed friends are important, even necessary. Sometimes they move around in the night and sometimes in the morning they look a little worse for wear, as if they''ve engaged in battle. And it turns out . . . he''s right. Clark''s dad is under attack by a nefarious, shadowy monster called a King Derker, and only Clark''s stuffies are able to fight him off. The problem is, no one believes Clark, and when his mom tries to rid the house of stuffed animals to try to get him to grow up, she''s actually putting Clark''s dad and the entire household in mortal peril. Now it''s up to Clark''s grandma-made sock animal, Foon, to save the day. Luckily, being handmade by a loved one gives Foon extra battle points, but he''s still a brand-new stuffy. Does he have what it takes to rid Clark''s house of all its monsters? Told through both Clark''s and Foon''s points of view, Stuffed confirms every kid''s dream: that stuffed animals do have a life and a purpose, and that sometimes the most unconventional friendships are also the most valuable.
