From the author of Dandelion's Christmas and the Felicity Wishes series, two new characters who are handmade with a stitch of love and a thread of care Lili is fed up with being a ragdoll and wants to be a princess. She and Pickle act out their favorite fairytales, but Lili still doesn’t feel like a true princess—until Pickle comes to her rescue! Lili and Pickle's adventure is told through best-loved fairytales—Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and The Princess and the Pea. Along with charming illustrations, this title features innovative pops, flaps, and tabs, and dress-up and play characters with dress-up fairytale outfits for Lili and Pickle.

Bryson Miller is a sixteen-year-old high school student who has already dealt with his mother's death and his father's subsequent alcoholism. When that happened, he adapted. He became the core of the family, making sure that groceries were bought and his sisters stayed out of trouble all while maintaining perfect grades with matching ambitions. Balancing his dysfunctional family life with a shining image became routine. He doesn't view himself as special or even especially unlucky. After all, there are plenty of people in his small town who are worse off. What is supposed to be just another normal Friday night, attending his friend Gary's party and keeping Gary out of trouble, becomes a nightmare when Bryson is attacked. In the days that follow, he does what he always does and attempts to adjust... to being a vampire. However, his sire won't leave him or his family alone. What she wants isn't something Bryson is willing to give, and when her threats to his girlfriend get Bryson killed, his soul ends up in the Underworld, ruled by the creator of vampires, the God of Temptation. Now Bryson is being asked to work for the god responsible not only for ruining his life but actually ending it. Although given a choice, the consequences for his refusal are far more complicated and far reaching than they seem. When he learns he won't be the one paying the price, how can he say no? Gods Don't Sleep is the first book in a planned trilogy. It serves as an origin story for the young protagonist and sets up the action to come.
