(4) 4-6 Map to Everywhere series. Illustrated by Todd Harris. In this third series entry (Map to Everywhere; City of Thirst), the crew of the Enterprising Kraken sails the Pirate Stream, intent on stopping the prophesied destruction of the magical waterway. Full of intricate world-building, complex characters, and rip-roaring adventure, the story moves quickly, but the action-packed cliffhanger ending is a bit unwieldy. Lively grayscale illustrations add to the fun.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Todd Harris. The trilogy that began with The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom reaches its riotous, satisfying conclusion. Someone nefarious is trying to take over the Thirteen Kingdoms, and they are getting the League of Princes and their princess counterparts out of the way by accusing them of Briar Rose's murder. As in the previous books, nimble wordplay and daffy antics abound.

(3) 4-6 Pirate Stream series. Illustrated by Todd Harris. "It is said the Bintheyr Map to Everywhere will take its possessor wherever he or she needs to go." Marrill, on a ship sailing the inter-dimensional Pirate Stream, needs to get back home. Fin, a master thief no one seems to remember, needs to find his mother. And they aren't the only ones looking for the Map. A clever, fast-paced adventure.

Having vanquished a nasty witch to save their various realms in The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, princes Liam, Frederic, Duncan, and Gustav head off to steal a mystical object of great power held by the diminutive Bandit King. Filled with witty banter, amusing characters, and seat-of-your-pants action, this hefty installment is certain to keep fans of the first book happily entertained.

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Todd Harris. Four Prince Charmings--strapping Gustav, who keeps an eye out for Rapunzel; gallant Liam, who is promised to Briar Rose whether he likes it or not; Cinderella's timid, foppish Frederic; and Snow White's eccentric, annoying Duncan--discover that evils are afoot in the woods. Witty banter, movie-ready descriptions, cartoony illustrations, and nonstop action help make this fairy-tale mash-up highly entertaining.
