Written by Kayla Cottingham​ and set in the world of Nickelodeon’s hit TV show Are You Afraid of the Dark?, this spine-chilling third installment in the original middle-grade horror series takes us to Lake Gory, a small town where a mysterious circus appears once a year, where a young girl looking to have some fun gets more than she bargained for Thirteen-year-old perfectionist Riley Beasley doesn’t have time for friends. She’s too busy making her Ivy League dreams a reality. Her only “friend,” Genevieve, is more of a persistent neighbor with an obsession for all things supernatural than actual confidante. But one night, Genevieve convinces Riley to sneak out and investigate the strange lights that have suddenly appeared in the surrounding woods. They follow the lights to find a magnificent circus in a clearing. Tickets cannot be purchased; guests must be invited and accept the invitation. Uncharacteristically, Riley finds herself immediately drawn to the carefree fun of the all-kids circus, where there are no adults to spoil the magic. She is particularly captivated by Miss Starr, the mysterious sixteen-year-old ringleader who always seems to be nearby. Genevieve is the first to point out the strange aspects of the circus, the troupe, and Miss Starr. Why do all the kids have a ghostly appearance? How is it that they can perform impossible feats without getting hurt? Why is Miss Starr so intent on convincing Riley to join her circus? And why does one of the troupe members look so familiar? Riley finds herself caught between Starr and her alluring circus and Genevieve’s attempts to convince her that something is wrong. Will Riley solve the mystery unfolding in the circus tent before the final curtain falls? Or will she runaway with the circus forever?

An inspirational reframing of the bestselling classic The 5 Languages of Love, which includes all kinds of people and all kinds of loveThe Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman has sold millions of copies since it was published in 1992. Framed around how to best communicate with your romantic partner, “What’s your love language?” is such a pervasive conversation topic that it’s become a common prompt on dating apps. But despite its popularity, it really hasn’t kept up with the times—it’s simplistic, limited, and doesn’t allow room for all the beautiful complexities life has to offer.Love Lessons, written by Alise Morales and illustrated by Ana Jarén, reframes the familiar concept of love languages as a more fluid and flexible method of communication that we all engage with at different times, in different moods, and with different people. From romantic partners to close friends, from family to coworkers, this book shows how love languages don’t have to be a one-size-fits-all approach. Existing love languages are reexamined and new ones introduced as equally powerful tools for expressing respect, admiration, and care in our most valued relationships. Morales’ text is accompanied by Jarén’s diverse artwork, showcasing illustrations that reflect the anarchy of the universal approach previously set forth by Chapman. Her maximalist, colorful drawings are indicative of the fun and freeing content that Morales has reframed to reach a more open-minded generation. Informative paragraphs, inclusive language, and multiple-choice quizzes come together in Love Lessons to reach new heights within the community of people wanting to uncover how they give and receive love.

“Great fashion photography not only understands the beauty of clothing but also adds a twist that grabs the eye and sparks the imagination. With Steven Klein, you’ll give him a dress, and he’ll give you a girl with a dress with a robot in a garden. It’s clever, conceptual and ultimately lyrical.” —Anna WintourSteven Klein Vogue is a gorgeous collection of photographs commissioned by Anna Wintour for American Vogue, spanning from 2000 to 2019. The book traces the evolution of Klein’s visual language over nearly two decades, showcasing work defined by dark sensuality, psychological intensity, and cinematic staging. Models become characters in charged, often unsettling narratives that blur the line between fantasy and provocation. More than fashion imagery, these photographs construct worlds where power, control, and desire unfold theatrically. Klein’s fashion photography is instantly recognizable for its bold fusion of glamour, eroticism, and psychological drama. His images push beyond traditional fashion spreads, often resembling film stills in their scale and tension. What sets him apart is his refusal to idealize—he creates work that seduces and unnerves, inviting viewers into immersive, often transgressive, visual experiences that challenge the conventions of beauty and luxury. Nicki Minaj, Bjork, Alexander McQueen, and Karl Lagerfeld make memorable appearances, but the book ultimately belongs to Klein’s extraordinary cast of model-actresses—each one commanding the frame in his high-drama, tightly staged fantasies.
