A cruise ship in port. A body on the beach. An island full of secrets.Six days a week, not much happens on the sleepy Caribbean island of Port William. Isolated from the territory’s main tourist draw of St. Humphries, outsiders rarely venture to its shore. But now every Tuesday, a cruise ship pulls into the island’s new deepwater dock, releasing a crowd of day-trippers. The vacationers spread across the waterfront, sunning on rented recliners while drinking beer and rum punch. The operation runs smoothly until two lounge chair vendors discover a body.On most Caribbean islands, identification of an expired beachgoer would be followed by an orderly alert and notification process. After all, such inadvertent deaths occurred, often with callous disregard for travel and vacation schedules. It was an unfortunate event but not a reason to panic.Except that this was no ordinary tourist. And this wasn’t the first time the vendors had found a body on the beach…

“Fantasy fans will appreciate this lyrical, character-driven story about a unique girl learning to find her place in an inhospitable world” (Booklist). As the only heir to the throne, Marni should have been surrounded by wealth and privilege, not living in exile—but now the time has come when she must choose between claiming her birthright as princess of a realm whose king wants her dead, and life with the father she has never known: a wild dragon who is sending his magical woods to capture her. Fans of Bitterblue and Seraphina will be captured by A Creature of Moonlight, with its richly layered storytelling and the powerful choices its strong heroine must make. “Hahn writes with such beauty and persuasion that she could make me believe in anything. . . . This is a rare and special book.” —Kristin Cashore, New York Times–bestselling author “The fairy-tale world . . . is richly woven, laced with such delicate details that when you close your eyes it’s impossible not to see the thin blue dragon flowers or hear the whispering leaves beckoning you into the thicket. This story engages every sense, and burrows into your imagination.” —The New York Times Book Review

The deep blue sea is an expansive body of water that holds mysterious creatures and centuries worth of marvelous tales. Riches may attract some to fame and fortune, but it can also lead treasure hunters to their doom. A pirate ship full of lost treasures and history- along with a huge reward- lies somewhere beneath the Florida Keys. Level-headed Jayden is a treasure hunter who works for knowledge and discovery, not riches. His dedication belongs to the museum, so an expedition to find treasure among a sunken pirate ship didn't seem of interest to him. At least that's what he thought, until startling new evidence emerged about what really happened to the ship in the form of a journal from the daughter of Captain De la Rouge, the pirate ship's captain. Now Jayden, his guide Jack, and his parents, Melody and Eddie, must scour the Key West area in search of the lost ship and its precious cargo. A big discovery is almost certain as Jeannette, a descendant of Captain De la Rouge, joins the adventure and funds their trip. As this nautical adventure begins to heat up, mysterious details about the captain's magical command of the sea emerge from the deep blue. Will Jayden and his crew be able to best the ship's mystical protectors, or will they end up taking a trip to Davy Jones' Locker?

This adventurous children's book follows the story of Jayden and his family as they search for golden treasure hidden deep in the Dark Jungle. Along with Jack, their trusted guide, they discover lost cities, encounter snakes and jaguars, and explore the ruins of a lost temple. Will Jayden lead his family to the treasure?Children will take delight in this imaginative story about a determined boy who learns that knowledge is the real treasure.For ages 4 and up.

Death Valley is brutal during most seasons. Harsh heat in the summer, bone-chilling cold in the winter, the valley is a trap for the unskilled explorer. Who would dare brave this unforgiving environment- and at what cost? Jayden has an adventurer’s heart and a vagabond’s spirit. Connected to nature and the past, he has a thirst for mysteries rooted in history. Traveling the world in search of precious treasures for a museum, Jayden, his guide Jack, and his parents, Melody and Eddie, will stop at nothing to unravel the secrets of the past and share them with the world. This includes traveling the perilous Death Valley in search of the ancient Lost Gun Sight Mine. This mine, laced with silver and the lingering spirits of past societies, is closely guarded by ferocious desert creatures. When strange happenings begin to occur during their monumental journey, the crew grows unsure of what lies ahead and if they'll be able to complete their mission. Will Jayden and his crew be able to unearth the mine's secrets for educational display at the museum, or will the desert protectors stop the mission? Only time will tell, and help from surprising forces may just guide them to the treasure that they seek.

The pyramids of Egypt hold ancient and powerful secrets. Riches, hieroglyphic messages, and tales of pharaohs lure tomb raiders into the perilous desert. The tombs may hold great treasures, but they are also guarded by mysterious, spiritual forces of unknown prowess. What explorer could possibly outwit the ancient protectors of the pyramids?Jayden never stops looking for adventure. His dedication to history manifests itself in a series of excursions that take him and his crew to the farthest reaches of the world. This time, Jayden, his parents, Melody and Eddie, and his guide Jack, are in search of a lost tomb that holds undiscovered secrets from the past. The Valley of the Kings, the site of their dig, is mysterious- and dangerous. The crew must brave long digs in the hot sun with nothing but sand around them for miles. Of course, Jayden and his crew are far from amateur, and they eventually unearth the untouched tomb of Ramses VIII. Will the crew make it out of the tomb with royal treasures, or will the guardians of the desert sands claim them? The tomb may just hold some challenging surprises in what may be the biggest discovery Jayden's crew has ever made
