      Pravidla čarodějek jsou jasná – v zájmu přežití na sebe neupozorňovat, být co nejopatrnější a moc se nedružit ani s ostatními čarodějkami. Protože kde je čarodějek víc, tam šijí s magií všichni čerti. No jo, jenže co dělat, když vás osazenstvo jistého domu prokoukne? Ne, nechce vás upálit ani utopit ve vašem rybníčku s koi kapry. Je to mnohem horší. V tom domě totiž vyrůstají hned tři malé čarodějky. Bez výcviku. A za pár týdnů má dorazit právník, na jehož rozhodnutí závisí osudy všech v domě. A jasně, rozhodně v čarodějky nevěří, a pokud by v ně uvěřil, chtěl by ty monstra smazat z povrchu zemského. A tak Mika sbalí do svého autíčka všechen svůj majetek – včetně toho rybníčku a koi kaprů (magie, co se divíte?) a vyráží na záchranně-vzdělávací misi. Čelit dětem, právníkům, hněvu nejstarší čarodějky v Anglii i zatraceně pohlednému Irovi. Co by se mohlo pokazit?

      For fans of the Aru Shah and Serpent's Secret series, this action-packed fantasy-adventure sees a girl's drawings of Indian mythology spring to vivid life--including the evil god who seeks to enter the real world and destroy it. Kiki Kallira has always been a worrier. Did she lock the front door? Is there a terrible reason her mom is late? Recently her anxiety has been getting out of control, but one thing that has always soothed her is drawing. Kiki's sketchbook is full of fanciful doodles of the rich Indian myths and legends her mother has told her over the years. One day, her sketchbook's calming effect is broken when her mythological characters begin springing to life right out of its pages. Kiki ends up falling into the mystical world she drew, which includes a lot of wonderful discoveries like the band of rebel kids who protect the kingdom, as well as not-so-great ones like the ancient deity bent on total destruction. As the one responsible for creating the evil god, Kiki must overcome her fear and anxiety to save both worlds--the real and the imagined--from his wrath. But how can a girl armed with only a pencil defeat something so powerful?

      Kiki Kallira Breaks a Kingdom
    • This modern, groundbreaking YA anthology explores the complexity and beauty of interracial and LGBTQ+ relationships where differences are front and center. When people ask me what this anthology is about, I’m often tempted to give them the complicated answer: it’s about race, and about how being different from the person you love can matter but how it can also not matter, and it’s about Chinese pirate ghosts, black girl vigilantes, colonial India, a flower festival, a garden of poisons, and so, so much else. Honestly, though? I think the answer’s much simpler than that.
