Book excerpt: A boy who lives every day twice uses his ability to bring down bullies at his new school in Mike Thayer's humor-filled middle grade novel, The Double Life of Danny Day. My name is Danny Day, and I live every day twice. The first time, it’s a “discard day.” It’s kind of like a practice run. At the end of the day, I go to bed, wake up, and poof everything gets reset, everything except my memory, that is. The second time, everything is normal, just like it is for everyone else. That’s when everything counts and my actions stick. As you could probably guess, “Sticky Day” Danny is very different from “Discard Day” Danny. When Danny’s family moves across the country, he suddenly has to use his ability for more than just slacking off and playing video games. Now he's making new friends, fending off jerks, exposing a ring of cheaters in the lunchtime video game tournament, and taking down bullies one day at a time ... or is it two days at a time?

Book excerpt: Thirteen-year-old Sam Baggend is the only person in Avalon who can't use magic. He's also the only person in Avalon with a bag of high-tech spy gear, a solar-powered cell phone with intermittent signal back to earth, and a murderous wizard-Emperor on his tail...so he's got a lot going for him.There he was, minding his own business, using a drone to drop an egg on his vice-principal's head, when the ground starts to shake. Sam collapses during the quake only to wake up in Avalon, a parallel world to his own, where the magical power of aether flows through and is used by all living creatures, except for Sam.Sam is so aether-repelent, in fact, that he destroys the stuff on contact, which is something of a major concern for the tyrannical Emperor of Avalon who has spent his entire reign amassing more aether than all his subjects combined. Sam's only hope of returning home lies with meeting the Emperor head on and draining the tyrant of his power. To do that, Sam will have to unite the people of Avalon and use his whole bag of technological tricks...and post about it on YouTube and Facebook. Oh, and not get killed. That's important too.
