The Labyrinth of Souls
By Vedder, Leslie
A darkly inventive fantasy for fans of Tim Burton about a girl who can see Nightmare creatures from the forbidden Labyrinth of Souls.. In the Kingdom of Spinar, there are seven rules for safeguarding your soul from the Sorrows and Nightmare creatures - most importantly: never, ever enter the Labyrinth of Souls.. Ix Tatterfall has always been an outcast with big secrets: She can cross into the Labyrinth, home to the powerful Sorrows, and she can see strange Nightmare beasts when no one else can. Some, like the shadowy Inklings or bothersome Stubbed Toads, are merely a nuisance. Many more - like the Jimber-Jawed Hounds - are dangerous. Even deadly.. But something is very wrong in the Labyrinth. A terrible new Nightmare - a raggedy scarecrow called Jack - has been ravaging the misty maze, gobbling up wraiths and lost souls and allowing Nightmares to seep into the Waking World.

Racing the Clouds
By Dunlap, Sydney
If thirteen-year-old Sage had done one thing differently that day last November, everything would be fine. Only she didn't, so she and her dad had to leave Philadelphia for a new life in middle-of-nowhere Virginia. Her dad has never actually said he blames her for what happened, but how could he not?. Sage is determined to push it all out of her mind, but then, just before summer vacation, she hears from the grandparents she's never met. They want her to visit, and she realizes this could be her chance to mend the rift that's kept everybody apart.. When she meets Grandmother Marion, though, Sage is sure her trip is headed for disaster. Except she wasn't counting on making a new friend or rescuing a sweet stray dog. With them by her side, maybe she can find the courage to face what she's been avoiding all along.
