Adventure

James Patterson's explosive debut in the young adult market is guaranteed to create legions of new fans for this beloved, multimillion-selling author.

In the first volume of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III's misadventures, ten-year-old Viking Hero Hiccup tries to pass the initiation test for his tribe, the Hairy Hooligans, by catching and training a dragon. Hiccup becomes involved with more than he bargained for when two large sea dragons visit his home island of Berk.

In this volume of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III's misadventures, Hiccup's dragon, Toothless, is captured when Hiccup and Fishlegs encounter a Roman ship. Hiccup must collect on a favor owed to him and face Sharkworms while dealing with a former foe and rescuing Toothless.

In his 4th sidesplitting adventure, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III must rescue his best friend, Fishlegs, from the deadly disease Vorpentitis. The only cure is rare and almost impossible to find: a potato. But where will Hiccup find such a thing? He'll have to dodge the terrible Sharkworms, battle Doomfangs, and outwit crazy Hooligans if he's going to be a Hero...again.

n this companion to the popular How to Train Your Dragon, Hiccup Horrendous III is now a pirate in training with the Hairy Hooligan tribe. Witty dialogue, slapstick humor, and energetic drawings make this action-packed tale ideal for the adventurous.

Set in a world where some people are born with a Grace - a unique, sometimes uncanny, gift - this is the story of Katsa, whose Grace, demonstrated at an uncomfortably early age, is for killing. This makes her a perfect tool for her uncle, King Randa. But Katsa chafes at the way she is being used - and even more at the injustices she sees around her.

On the seventh day, there was a choice.

Young Merlin has brought new hope to Fincayra, the enchanted isle that lies between earth and sky. Having finally freed it from the terrible Blight, Merlin and the forest girl Rhia set out to heal the land using the magical Flowering Harp. But Fincayra remains in great danger still, and the first victim of the renewed tide of evil is Merlin's own mother.

What is the nature of fate? Is young Merlin destined to be a powerful wizard, or does he have a choice?

Jack and Annie of Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, know they have to find one of the four secrets of happiness to help save Merlin the magician. But when the magic tree house whisks them off to a misty island in the middle of nowhere, they wonder how they will find anything. As the fog lifts, they see a huge three-masted ship - could it be a pirate ship?

Jack and Annie continue their quest for the secrets of happiness - secrets they need to save Merlin. This time, the Magic Tree House takes them to the one continent they haven't visited before: Antarctica! What can they hope to learn about happiness in such a barren place? Only the penguins know for sure...Jack and Annie are about to find out!

Jack and Annie head to 18th-century Austria, where they must find and help a musician by the name of Mozart. Decked out in the craziest outfits they've ever worn, including a wig for Jack and a giant hoopskirt for Annie, the two siblings search an entire palace to no avail.

Jack and Annie are on their second mission to find and inspire artists to bring happiness to millions. After traveling to New Orleans, Jack and Annie come head to head with some real ghosts, as well as discover the world of jazz when they meet a young Louis Armstrong.

Jack and Annie are on their third mission to find (and inspire!) creative people to bring happiness to others through the arts (Mozart and Louis Armstrong so far). Set in Ireland, Jack and Annie meet an Irish girl and go on a magical adventure that changes the girl's life.

Jack and Annie's mission from Merlin the Magician? To help the famous writer Charles Dickens! In a magical whirl, the brother and sister are whisked back in time to Victorian England and the foggy streets of London.
