GAIMAN, NEIL INTERWORLD

Joey Harker isn’t a hero. In fact, he’s the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house. But one day, Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.

Joey’s walk between worlds makes him prey to armies of magic and science, both determined to harness Joey’s power to travel between the dimensions. The only thing standing in their way is Joey – or, more precisely, an army of Joeys, all from different dimensions and all determined to save the worlds.

Now Joey must make a choice: return to the life he knows or join the battle to the end.




HUGHES, MONICA THE FACES OF FEAR

Joanna is everything Joan wants to be. She’s a sleek warrior with cascading raven hair; she is smart and brave and daring. The catch? Joanna exists only in the Virtual Reality program of Joan’s computer. Devastated by her recent accident, and unable to walk, Joan is searching for a new reality. She think she’s found one in an exciting experimental computer game she plays with her new friend Whizkid (a.k.a. Steve). But Joan and Whizkid are discovering that their game is becoming a little too real – and dangerous. There’s only one way out: Joan and Steve have to confront their own fears.




L’ENGLE, MADELEINE A WRINKLE IN TIME

It was a dark and stormy night. Out of this wild night, a strange visitor comes to the Murray house and takes Meg, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin O’Keefe on a most dangerous and extraordinary adventure – one that will threaten their lives and our universe.

But can they discover the truth before every IQ in Nanaimo gets stolen forever?



SLEATOR, WILLIAM THE BOXES

When Uncle Marco goes on one of his mysterious trips, he leaves Annie in charge of two exotic, sealed boxes on one condition: she must not open either one while he is away. But of course she is tempted…and soon she has unleashed the unspeakable. The creatures inside the box are crablike and grotesque. And they possess a power Annie could never have imagined…
