Once there was a girl named Juniper Berry. Before she didn't much care about balloons or anything, but not anymore. You see there is a place where you can have all your wishes come true. Sounds like Disneyland right? Well, her friend Giles and her went there and it is not. It is a scary place like everything else in Juniper's life. Nothing is what it seems anymore. Her parents are the most famous people in the world loved by millions, especially Juniper and they look perfect but they aren't. It seems like they haven't been themselves in forever and it got even worse when they moved into their luxurious mansion. They are moody, unkind, and down right awful. All Juniper wishes is that she could make them all a family again, and they would love her like they used to. It is the only reason she is going back down under the scary tree again.
I present to you the book Juniper Berry.

From there they just wait for an American sponsor to take them out of the city of tents. "Our sponsor looks just like an American should" Ha says, because he had a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. But now Ha feels like she would rather be in her war zone country than in peaceful Atlanta. Read more about Ha and her ups and downs in America in Inside Out and Back Again.

The moon was full the night Jessica ran away. She was tired of being cooped up in her house like a bird. But she was not the only one in the woods that night. She discovered three wolves ganging up on a little black shaggy dog. She saved the dog because three against one is not fair. Turns out this was no dog, it was a boy and in return for saving his life he showed her a portal to another world. She came from that other place and now she is going back. From Sara Prineas, the award winning author of The Magic Thief series, comes an adventure that is out of this world.
