Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you opened an ordinary door in the attic and discovered a desert island, complete with palm trees, parrots… and pirates? Merryshields isn’t your average big country house - it’s massive, mysterious, and undoubtedly the most magical mansion the world has ever seen. Hidden deep in the countryside, abandoned for years, it is surrounded by trees and filled with secrets bursting to be discovered. When cousins Piper, Jack, Willow and Kit move into Merryshields, the magic is beyond exciting… at first. A silver dog?! A ghostly cook?! A self-drawing map that shows treasure?! But then the cousins spy a flag waving from a window high among the rooftops and before they know it, the magic of Merryshields begins to intensify… Behind the attic room door, pirates Johnny Two-Legs and Taishi are awaiting rescue from Bad Babs, the Witch of the Seas, who raises storms, senses gold and steals children. But before Piper, Jack, Willow and Kit can rescue them, they find themselves trapped as Babs sails nearer - and her sights are set firmly on the Merryshields treasure that she can sense through the waving palms… Can the children save themselves, their friends and their beloved magical house? Or will they be trapped forever in a strange world, working as slaves for Bad Babs Bembridge’s evil empire?

Book excerpt: Kids vs. parents! An epic treehouse sleepover! An awesome group of friends! An exciting new book from National Book Award finalist Lisa Graff. Winnie's last day of fourth grade ended with a pretty life-changing surprise. That was the day Winnie’s parents got divorced and decided that Winnie would live three days a week with each of them and spend Wednesdays by herself in a treehouse between their houses, to divide her time perfectly evenly. It was the day Winnie’s seed of frustration with her parents was planted, a seed that grew until it felt like it was as big as a tree itself. By the end of fifth grade, Winnie decides that the only way to change things is to barricade herself in her treehouse until her parents come to their senses—and her friends decide to join. It’s kids vs. grown-ups, and no one wants to back down first. But with ten kids in one treehouse, all with their own demands, things get pretty complicated! Even if they are having the most epic slumber party ever. In the newest novel by beloved National Book Award finalist Lisa Graff, kids turn the tables on their parents, and all the rules are tossed out the window.
