Mathias Engleborn was rarely considered a normal boy by any standards. A dreamer at heart, his endless imagination made Mathias a joy for some, a curiosity to most, and an outright nightmare for the local librarian. But all the enthusiasm and creativity in the world cannot prepare him for the day that he discovers Crescent Moon, an ancient book full of reluctant secrets and exciting adventures. Through the pages of Crescent Moon, he is introduced to Lunaria, a magical world of forgotten lore, dreams made real and untold possibility. Mathias is quickly taken upon a journey with the Prophet, a mysterious figure who calls upon fate to gather champions for the next chapter of an ageless battle between good and evil, darkness and light. Heroes rise, and destiny is shaped as Lunaria prepares for the inevitable conflict, holding to the hope that their greatest champion shall soon return. But until then, Lunaria must endure at all costs as every moment becomes more precious than the next. And as the story unfolds, Mathias realizes that the magic of Crescent Moon extends far beyond the confines of its aging pages. Somehow, he has become part of something bigger and this is only the beginning of the growing tale.

When your beloved witchy grandmother is dead, your best friend is dating the son of one of the meanest women in town, and your dreams have been hijacked by Southern belle spirits trying to kill you, what's a girl to do? Caffeine up and go on a ghost hunt, of course! Crescent is the story of Stella Fortunat, a girl who wears way too much eyeliner, drinks way too much coffee, and has way too many expectations set on her by an unsympathetic mother. Most of her life has been occupied by work at her family's cafe, blending her own eye shadows, and sitting at the feet of her tarot reading, voodoo practicing "GG". Now, Stella's own prophetic dreams have taken a very dangerous turn, and everyone seems to think she's crazy. From mystical visions to masquerade balls, Crescent is a journey that's dark, playful, poignant, and funny.

The Crescent Moon - By Rabindranath Tagore - Translated from the original Bengali by the author. Children’s Poetry I PACED alone on the road across the field while the sunset was hiding its last gold like a miser. The daylight sank deeper and deeper into the darkness, and the widowed land, whose harvest had been reaped, lay silent. Suddenly a boy's shrill voice rose into the sky. He traversed the dark unseen, leaving the track of his song across the hush of the evening. His village home lay there at the end of the waste land, beyond the sugar-cane field, hidden among the shadows of the banana and the slender areca palm, the cocoa-nut and the dark green jack-fruit trees. I stopped for a moment in my lonely way under the starlight, and saw spread before me the darkened earth surrounding with her arms countless homes furnished with cradles and beds, mothers' hearts and evening lamps, and young lives glad with a gladness that knows nothing of its value for the world.
