In the explosive conclusion of the Endgame trilogy, ENDGAME: Rules of the Game, by James Frey and Nils Johnson-Shelton, only seven Players remain. Sarah, Jago, Aisling, Maccabee, Shari, An and Hilal are prepared to fight to the death in order to find the last Sun Key and win Endgame. It all began with The Calling, where meteors around the world signaled the beginning of the game. Each Player, from 12 ancient bloodlines chosen by extraterrestrials years ago, has trained since birth. Their goal: find the Earth, Sky and Sun Key, bring it to the Maker and win. Read More

The explosive final novel in the Endgame trilogy. Two keys have been found. The strongest Players are left. One final key remains to win Endgame and save the world. For Sarah, Jago, Aisling, Maccabee, Shari, An and Hilal, Endgame has reached its final phase. The third key, Sun Key, is all that stands between one Player saving their line --- or perishing along with the rest of the world. And only one can win. No matter what they’re Playing for, all of the remaining Players have one thing in common: they will end the game, but on their own terms.

Picking up after the events of the first novel, we find our beloved characters split up and fighting to save their own skin. Prince Merik, recovering from an explosion that destroyed his ship, is believed to be dead to the rest of the world and is determined to prove his sister was the reason. Read More

Upon reaching the royal capital, crowded with refugees, he haunts the streets, fighting for the weak --- which leads to whispers of a disfigured demigod, the Fury, who brings justice to the oppressed. When the Bloodwitch Aeduan discovers a bounty on Iseult, he makes sure to be the first to find her --- yet in a surprise twist, Iseult offers him a deal. She will return money stolen from him, if he locates Safi.

Sometimes our enemies are also our only allies...

After an explosion destroys his ship, the world believes Prince Merik, Windwitch, is dead. Scarred yet alive, Merik is determined to prove his sister’s treachery.

When the Bloodwitch Aeduan discovers a bounty on Iseult, he makes sure to be the first to find her --- yet in a surprise twist, Iseult offers him a deal. She will return money stolen from him, if he locates Safi. Now they must work together to cross the Witchlands, while constantly wondering, who will betray whom first?

After a surprise attack and shipwreck, Safi and the Empress of Marstok barely escape with their lives. Alone in a land of pirates, every moment balances on a knife’s edge --- especially when the pirates’ next move could unleash war upon the Witchlands.

Happy New Year! Here’s to a brilliant year of books and reading ahead!

Our newsletter comes to you this week via our new newsletter delivery system. As we worked to try to keep the same look and feel that we had before, we analyzed font types and sizes...a lot. At points I felt like I was at the eye doctor trying to figure out “Is this one better, or this?,” reaching that point when they all start to look the same. To those of you reading on mobile, this should be a terrific experience. However, if you are on a Samsung phone using Outlook, my tip to you is to put your phone on “screen rotation” and read horizontally. I have to do this with every newsletter as Samsung refuses to share its email protocol with mailing companies, and thus they cannot design against it. We are now optimized against 23 email platforms! Oh, and Mercury is retrograde until Monday, so you can imagine the fun we had trying to execute a new tech solution when the planets were not aligning.

Happy New Year, Teenreaders! In honor of the new year, we have compiled a list of new book-to-film adaptations to help you celebrate the start of 2017. In New York, we have already had one snow storm and we knew exactly how to spend it --- watching everything on our Books on Screen list. So start heating up the hot chocolate and get the marshmallows ready!

Joanne Harris, author of Different Class

After 30 years at St. Oswald’s Grammar in North Yorkshire, England, Latin master Roy Straitley has seen all kinds of boys come and go. But every so often there’s a boy who doesn’t quite fit the mold. A troublemaker. A boy with darkness inside. With insolvency and academic failure looming, a new headmaster arrives at the venerable school, bringing with him new technology, sharp suits and even girls to the dusty corridors. But while Straitley does his sardonic best to resist these steps toward the future, a shadow from his past begins to stir again.
