Cleopatra's tomb has been discovered and the Germans are determined to rob it. It's 1937 and the Germans want to use the treasure to finance their global operations. But half-living mummies are trapped inside the tomb. Twelve-year-old Alex O'Connell knows what that means: trouble. If Alex doesn't stop the Germans, they'll ransack the temple -- and Cleopatra will never reach the spirit world. Will Alex get to the tomb in time?

When Alex O’Connell returns to Egypt to resume his training with Ardeth Bay, he expects the usual adventure — fighting evil mummies, chasing bad guys through the desert, and riding his beloved camel, Stinkwad. But Ardeth Bay has something very different in mind. It is time for Alex to be tested. Alex discovers that battling nasty mummies is a whole lot easier than figuring out exactly what he’s being tested on. All he knows is that it involves the egg of a Phoenix and that, if he fails, he will never be a true Medjai.

Freda barely survived a weredog attack, so you’ll have to forgive her if she doesn’t feel like saving the world. She’s only a teenager, after all.The second installment in A. B. Wolverton’s The Witch Chronicles series, The Red Dragon finds Freda recovering from her terrifying near-death experience that closed The Reluctant Witch. While her magical powers may have saved her life (with the additional help of a few powerful friends, of course), it’s Freda’s sarcasm and humor that save her sanity. But these days, she’d rather be anyone than a girl destined for great things. However, when her plan to escape fate results in the abduction of her little brother Ben, Freda is forced to return to the struggle of understanding who she is, what she’s capable of, and what she’s been called to do.A riveting coming-of-age tale racing with paranormal adventures, Freda’s continuing saga takes her to Ireland in search of her brother. There, the young witch meets her powerful extended family, encounters a dragon whose fate is intertwined with hers, and discovers that the kidnapping of Ben is only a small piece in a horrific plot about to be unleashed from the shadowy netherworld.

Imagine that fairies are always hiding in the background, quietly playing a part in the events of everyday life. Now imagine that supposedly inanimate objects are actually listening to everything people do. Put those together, and you get the world Anam Cara and her friends live in. Anam is a Solace Fairy who spends her nights trading stories with the model trains she brings to life. Anam's mother, Dóchas, has basically adopted the people who own the trains as her fairy godchildren, and the more Anam learns about their story, the more she wishes her part in the story was bigger. While she's waiting for her chance to do something she thinks is important, Anam strikes up a friendship with a broken-down engine named Foxrun. Foxrun has to wait too, for the day he finally gets fixed. It takes patience for both of them, but they manage to at least have a little fun until the waiting pays off. Anam, Foxrun, and several other people, engines, and fairies see how much they need each other as their separate stories come together into one.
