Tired of drifting from port to port on her family's schooner, with no one but the dolphins to talk to, teen witch Coral is desperate to find a place where she fits in.

Gifted with tree magic, sixteen-year-old Cor learns the largest pines in the UK still grow on a hidden island—and are endangered. He wants to live there and help, but the trees’ elderly caretaker refuses to train a smooth-talking city boy. To also come out as gay to anyone there would be bloody foolish.

Their mistakes anger the island’s elders and foul up her relationship with her boyfriend. It’s only after an island boy befriends him that Cor confronts the challenge of the massive pines—and his more powerful feelings for Oyster. If Cor wants to save the Pines and not lose Oyster, he will have to do something he’s never done—let Oyster and the others see who he really is.

Can the fellow who wears his heart on his sleeve persuade the cautious Luna to finally trust her own feelings?

The New York Times–bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, Jon Ronson writes about the dark, uncanny sides of humanity with clarity and humor. Lost at Sea reveals how deep our collective craziness lies, even in the most mundane circumstances. Ronson investigates the strange things we’re willing to believe in, from lifelike robots programmed with our loved ones’ personalities to indigo children to hypersuccessful spiritual healers to the Insane Clown Posse’s juggalo fans. He looks at ordinary lives that take on extraordinary perspectives, for instance a pop singer whose life’s greatest passion is the coming alien invasion, and the scientist designated to greet those aliens when they arrive. Ronson throws himself into the stories—in a tour de force piece, he splits himself into multiple Ronsons (Happy, Paul, and Titch, among others) to get to the bottom of credit card companies’ predatory tactics and the murky, fabulously wealthy companies behind those tactics. Amateur nuclear physicists, assisted-suicide practitioners, the town of North Pole, Alaska’s Christmas-induced high school mass-murder plot: Ronson explores all these tales with a sense of higher purpose and universality, and suddenly, mid-read, they are stories not about the fringe of society or about people far removed from our own experience, but about all of us. Incisive and hilarious, poignant and maddening, revealing and disturbing—Ronson writes about our modern world, the foibles of contemporary culture, and the chaos that lies at the edge of our daily lives.

A medieval festival. An outing with friends. With costumes and their magic locked away, no one will suspect they’re wizards, right? Fifteen-year-old Raven wants nothing more than to spend the day talking to his smart and fun neighbor, Willow, but his gran has other plans for their outing to a human medieval faire. It’s a test for the young wizards from their hidden island, a trial in passing as human, and everyone must take it seriously. The teens have received strict instructions, from dressing up in old-style costumes to locking away their magic and not even breathing words like spells and magic. Fine, Raven will go along. Except…Salm—older and charming—is paying too much attention to Willow. With no help coming from Beri, his adopted brother who is grumpier than an old badger, scornful glares from Oyster and many interruptions by Coral, Salm’s annoying younger sister, Raven’s only hope to catch Willow’s eye might be the faire’s squire competition. Deep in his own plans, Raven overlooks his friends are suffering their own growing pains, especially Beri when the trial forces him to confront the uneasy memories of his mother’s death. When one slip threatens their wizard background, can the teens work together to rescue their friends and family?
