Fresh off of heroically saving their city from nightmarish monsters, twelve-yearold reformed thieves Arthur and Wally are determined to join the Wardens of Weirdwood, defenders of the border between the Real and Imaginary worlds.

Their mission: defeat the Order of Eldar, a shadowy group that is willing to do whatever it takes to expand their power–even exploit the magical creatures of the Fae. When the Order opens what seems to be a Rift between the worlds of the living and the dead, they set up a menagerie of ghosts to make money off those grieving for their lost loved ones. As spirits begin to cross over into Kingsport, Arthur, Wally, and their ghost companion, Breeth, will have to return a fleet of dead souls to the other side of the Veil.

Once best friends, Arthur and Wally find themselves on opposite sides of an epic war. Arthur, now officially a Novitiate of the Wardens of Weirdwood, is tasked with defending the Veil, the border between the real and imaginary realms. But
Wally and his brother, Graham, who can see into the future, seek to tear it down and create a new world with magic accessible to all.

Meanwhile, the fearsome Eraser seems unstoppable as it destroys entire pocketworlds, all the while tearing Rifts in reality, sowing chaos, and letting wondrous and dangerous Fae creatures run wild. Will Arthur and Wally be able to put aside
their differences and work together to defeat the Eraser when it shows up in their city and threatens their home? In this exhilarating final installment of the Thieves of Weirdwood trilogy, the lines between reality and fantasy will forever be broken.

Christian McKay Heidicker draws inspiration from Bram Stoker, H. P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe for his debut middle-grade novel, a thrilling portrait of survival and an unforgettable tale of friendship.

The haunted season has arrived in the Antler Wood. No fox kit is safe.

When Mia and Uly are separated from their litters, they discover a dangerous world full of monsters. In order to find a den to call home, they must venture through field and forest, facing unspeakable things that dwell in the darkness: a zombie who hungers for their flesh, a witch who tries to steal their skins, a ghost who hunts them through the snow . . . and other things too scary to mention.

Featuring eight interconnected stories and sixteen hauntingly beautiful illustrations, Scary Stories for Young Foxes contains the kinds of adventures and thrills you love to listen to beside a campfire in the dark of night.

The heart-stopping companion to the 2020 Newbery Honor recipient Scary Stories for Young Foxes, chronicling the adventures of three fox kits desperate to survive the terrors of a frightening new world.

Fox kit O-370 hungers for a life of adventure, like those lived long ago by Mia and Uly. But on the Farm, foxes know only the safety of their wire dens and the promise of eternal happiness in the White Barn. Or so they’re told. When O-370 gets free of his cage, he witnesses the gruesome reality awaiting all the Farm’s foxes and narrowly escapes with his life.

In a nearby suburb, young Cozy and her skulk are facing an unknown danger, one that hunts foxes. Forced to flee their den, they travel to a terrifying new world: the City. That’s where they encounter O-370, and where they’ll need to fight for their lives against mad hounds, killer robots, and the most dangerous of all creatures: humans.
