At only seventeen, Jeremy has already had a hard life. His father was killed by bounty hunters, his mother is dying from an unknown virus, and he lives on the outskirts of a powerful city, surrounded by trash and constantly in danger. When the local medicine man reveals that there's more to the world than Jeremy's ever known, he's eager to learn more to save his mother. As it turns out, Kale Stone isn't the only city in existence, like Jeremy has always been told. There are actually five others he's never seen, as well as a secret society built on democracy. The tension between the rebels and Kale Stone's dictatorship builds to a fever pitch with Jeremy caught in the middle-all thanks to a foreign device and a code seen in a dream. Can he ever hope to prevent the imminent destruction of his world? Kale Stone is a tale of action, adventure, power, and corruption, with just a dash of romance. All the twists and turns Kayla Hicks throws at you will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Travel to an ancient realm of magic where the powerful Grand Wizard Koeus set in motion events that would lead to a cataclysmic end. In his arrogance, he believed he could train ten apprentices in the ways of magic. He created magical stones controlling the powers of earth, wind, fire, and water. Using these stones, the apprentices became powerful wizards, but their hearts became corrupt and turned against Koeus when they learned of the life limitations the stones imposed on them. The Grand Wizard was forced to destroy his apprentices, but destroyed himself in the process. Centuries later, after the great wizards have long vanished, apprentices Kale and Masan are awarded the titles of wizard and earn their first magical stones at the School of Hundir. They embark upon a journey in search of other stones, and along the way, learn the true power of friendship. Their quest takes them through dangerous lands, where unlikely alliances are formed with Corsair, a great warrior, Megaera, an omniscient elf, and Lasca a beautiful and captivating thief. Through their quest the group discovers a bond that unites them as they battle the powerful Darklocks, an ancient evil threatening the peace of the lands.

Growing up in a close-knit Greek-American household, Mina Stone learned to cook from her Yiayia, who taught her that food doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious—and that almost any dish can be improved with judicious amounts of lemon, olive oil, and salt. In this deeply personal cookbook, Stone celebrates her grandmother and the other influences that have shaped her life, her career, and her culinary tastes and expertise. Lemon, Love & Olive Oil weaves together more than eighty Mediterranean-style dishes with the stories that inspired them. Stone offers home cooks a taste of her heritage with healthy, flavorful, and uncomplicated dishes such as Syrian Bulgur and Yogurt with Brown Butter Pine Nuts; Persian Figs with Cardamom and Rosewater; Baby Lettuces with Toasted Sesame Seeds, Mint, and Meyer Lemon Yogurt; and Braised Chickpeas with Orange Zest and Garlic Bread Crumbs.

The true adventures of David Fairchild, a turn-of-the-century food explorer who traveled the globe and introduced diverse crops like avocados, mangoes, seedless grapes—and thousands more—to the American plate. “Fascinating.”—The New York Times Book Review • “Fast-paced adventure writing.”—The Wall Street Journal • “Richly descriptive.”—Kirkus • “A must-read for foodies.”—HelloGiggles In the nineteenth century, American meals were about subsistence, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached, appetites broadened, and David Fairchild, a young botanist with an insatiable lust to explore and experience the world, set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater. Kale from Croatia, mangoes from India, and hops from Bavaria. Peaches from China, avocados from Chile, and pomegranates from Malta. Fairchild’s finds weren’t just limited to food: From Egypt he sent back a variety of cotton that revolutionized an industry, and via Japan he introduced the cherry blossom tree, forever brightening America’s capital. Along the way, he was arrested, caught diseases, and bargained with island tribes. But his culinary ambition came during a formative era, and through him, America transformed into the most diverse food system ever created. “Daniel Stone draws the reader into an intriguing, seductive world, rich with stories and surprises. The Food Explorer shows you the history and drama hidden in your fruit bowl. It’s a delicious piece of writing.”—Susan Orlean, New York Times bestselling author of The Orchid Thief and The Library Book
