But when her mother dies and Tasha is taken in by her father--a man she's never met, who took off when she was just a baby--she doesn't have much of a choice. The trailer park where Tasha's father and grandmother live seems like a miserable place to spend a summer, even before one of her neighbors mysteriously passes away. That's when she meets a girl named Ellie, who's sure she knows what's behind the death: a shadowy, spindly creature that stalks the trailer park at night. Tasha doesn't want to believe it, but when she discovers an old book of hoodoo and Southern legends in her grandmother's trailer, and more people around her fall ill, she begins to fear that Ellie's story is true and that danger might be closer than she thinks"-- Back cover.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C559655</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C559655</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ireland, Justina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/559655108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063287822/MC.GIF&amp;client=oakvillepublibrarybc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Amazing Spider-Man]]></title><description><![CDATA["Vampires are running rampant through New York City, and while the Avengers are caught in the middle, someone has to take care of the citizens of the Big Apple.

When the Jedi Council orders her to return to Coruscant, Vernestra ignores the summons, feeling that her priority is the beings she's already serving. So the Council dispatches Jedi Knight Indara to track down Vernestra to deliver the urgent message that a Republic senator has formally requested Jedi assistance, asking for Vernestra's aid by name. Intrigued, Vernestra quickly finds herself pulled back into Coruscant's complicated world of Republic politics and underworld crime. The two could not be more different: Vernestra, a Jedi Master who has known conflict and loss during her decades in the Order, and Indara, a young Knight just coming into her own as a Jedi in a galaxy at peace. Trust is slow to develop as they clash over their views on serving the Jedi Order, the galaxy, and the Force. But they must work together to decipher the connection between the senator and a trail of dangerous weapons threatening to wreak havoc on the Republic. As the two delve further into their investigation, the lines between Jedi and Republic business blur, and Vernestra must rediscover what it means to serve for Light and Life.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C583856</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C583856</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ireland, Justina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/583856108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593874431/MC.GIF&amp;client=oakvillepublibrarybc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mission to Disaster]]></title><description><![CDATA["The Jedi think the dreaded Nihil marauders have been all but defeated.

It is 1937, and Laura Ann Langston lives in an America divided—between those who work the mystical arts and those who do not. Ever since the Great Rust, a catastrophic event that blighted the arcane force called the Dynamism and threw America into disarray, the country has been rebuilding for a better future. And everyone knows the future is industry and technology—otherwise known as Mechomancy—not the traditional mystical arts. Laura disagrees. A talented young queer mage from Pennsylvania, Laura hopped a portal to New York City on her seventeenth birthday with hopes of earning her mage’s license and becoming something more than a rootworker. But four months later, she’s got little to show for it other than an empty pocket and broken dreams. With nowhere else to turn, Laura applies for a job with the Bureau of the Arcane’s Conservation Corps, a branch of the US government dedicated to repairing the Dynamism so that Mechomancy can thrive. There she meets the Skylark, a powerful mage with a mysterious past, who reluctantly takes Laura on as an apprentice. As they’re sent off on their first mission together into the heart of the country’s oldest and most mysterious Blight, they discover the work of mages not encountered since the darkest period in America’s past, when Black mages were killed for their power—work that could threaten Laura’s and the Skylark’s lives, and everything they’ve worked for.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C515685</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C515685</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ireland, Justina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/515685108</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ophie's Ghosts]]></title><description><![CDATA[The  New York Times  bestselling author of  Dread Nation  makes her middle grade debut with a sweeping tale of the ghosts of our past that won’ t stay buried, starring an unforgettable girl named Ophie. Ophelia Harrison used to live in a small house in the Georgia countryside. But that was before the night in November 1922, and the cruel act that took her home and her father from her. Which was the same night that Ophie learned she can see ghosts. Now Ophie and her mother are living in Pittsburgh with relatives they barely know. In the hopes of earning enough money to get their own place, Mama has gotten Ophie a job as a maid in the same old manor house where she works. Daffodil Manor, like the wealthy Caruthers family who owns it, is haunted by memories and prejudices of the past— and, as Ophie discovers, ghosts as well. Ghosts who have their own loves and hatreds and desires, ghosts who have wronged others and ghosts who have themselves been wronged. And as Ophie forms a friendship with one spirit whose life ended suddenly and unjustly, she wonders if she might be able to help— even as she comes to realize that Daffodil Manor may hold more secrets than she bargained for.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C475509</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C475509</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ireland, Justina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/475509108</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage]]></title><description><![CDATA[Long before the Clone Wars, the Empire, or the First Order, the Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in a golden age known as the High Republic!

She's been charged with supervising twelve-year old aspiring inventor Avon Starros on a cruiser headed to the dedication of a wondrous new space station called Starlight Beacon.

While the adult Jedi try to save the ship, Vernestra, Avon, Avon's droid J-6, a Jedi Padawan, and an ambassador's son make it to an escape shuttle, but communications are out and supplies are low.

After the fall of Summerland, Jane McKeene hoped her life would get simpler: Get out of town, stay alive, and head west to California to find her mother. But nothing is easy when you’ re a girl trained in putting down the restless dead, and a devastating loss on the road to a protected village called Nicodemus has Jane questioning everything she thought she knew about surviving in 1880s America. What’ s more, this safe haven is not what it appears— as Jane discovers when she sees familiar faces from Summerland amid this new society. Caught between mysteries and lies, the undead, and her own inner demons, Jane soon finds herself on a dark path of blood and violence that threatens to consume her. But she won’ t be in it alone. Katherine Deveraux never expected to be allied with Jane McKeene. But after the hell she has endured, she knows friends are hard to come by— and that Jane needs her too, whether Jane wants to admit it or not. Watching Jane’ s back, however, is more than she bargained for, and when they both reach a breaking point, it’ s up to Katherine to keep hope alive— even as she begins to fear that there is no happily-ever-after for girls like her.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C443862</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C443862</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ireland, Justina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/443862108</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dread Nation]]></title><description><![CDATA[At once provocative, terrifying, and darkly subversive, Dread Nation is Justina Ireland's stunning vision of an America both foreign and familiar— a country on the brink, at the explosive crossroads where race, humanity, and survival meet.

But within Nihil territory, danger lurks around every corner... as do terrifying creatures known as the Nameless.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C553195</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C553195</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gratton, Tessa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/553195108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781368093811/MC.GIF&amp;client=oakvillepublibrarybc&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blood & Fury]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bloody magic. Ancient fury. Prepare for the gripping conclusion to the Chaos & Flame saga, the "fast-paced, action-filled fantasy that reads like a mix of Game of Thrones and Avatar: The Last Airbender" (BCCB) from two beloved New York Times bestselling authors. A single kiss set Chaos ablaze. Picking up months after betrayal transformed Darling Seabreak into the long-lost Phoenix and every House regent into their empyreal form, Darling struggles to make sense of her destiny as a legendary creature. How can she, an orphan with no family, be the one to reunite the fractured houses and bring about peace, if she can't control the magic of her new Phoenix body?  Talon Goldhoard, still in love with Darling but wounded by her betrayal, is tasked with ending the vicious war that his family instigated. With the Phoenix reborn, Talon is hopeful that the bloodshed will end swiftly. Instead, the kingdom grows more fraught, with the threat of violence ever present – especially from dark, conniving forces within the walls of his own House Dragon. As Chaos reigns, Talon and Darling must find their way back to each other  –   not only to survive but to save the kingdom. Can Darling harness the power of the ancient magic that runs through her blood to bring about a new peace? Or will the fury that House Dragon fueled for a hundred-year war be too strong to break?]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C573614</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C573614</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gratton, Tessa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/573614108</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tales of Light and Life]]></title><description><![CDATA["Thrilling short stories featuring fan favorite characters from the beloved High Republic series.

Darling Seabreak cannot remember anything before the murder of her family at the hands of House Dragon, but she knows she owes her life to both the power of her Chaos Boon and House Kraken for liberating her from the sewers where she spent her childhood. So when her adoptive Kraken father is captured in battle, Darling vows to save him—even if that means killing each and every last member of House Dragon.   Talon Goldhoard has always been a dutiful War Prince for House Dragon, bravely leading the elite troops of his brother, the High Prince Regent. But lately his brother’s erratic rule threatens to undo a hundred years of House Dragon’s hard work, and factions are turning to Talon to unseat him. Talon resists, until he’s ambushed by a fierce girl who looks exactly like the one his brother has painted obsessively, repeatedly, for years, and Talon knows she’s the key to everything.   Together, Darling and Talon must navigate the treacherous waters of House politics, caught up in the complicated game the High Prince Regent is playing against everyone. The unlikeliest of allies, they’ll have to stop fighting each other long enough to learn to fight together in order to survive the fiery prophecies and ancient blood magic threatening to devastate their entire world.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C573850</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C573850</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gratton, Tessa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/573850108</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Star Wars, the High Republic]]></title><description><![CDATA[The High Republic authors share unmissable short stories that bridge Phases, resolve mysteries, and offer tantalizing hints of what is to come.

Members of the Path believe that the Force must be free and should not be used by anyone, not even the Jedi. One such believer is Marda Ro, a young woman who dreams of leaving Dalna to spread word of the Path throughout the galaxy.  When Marda and Kevmo meet, their connection is instantaneous and electric--until Marda discovers Kevmo is a Jedi. But Kevmo is so kind and eager to learn more about the Path, that she hopes she can convince him of the rightness of her beliefs. What Marda doesn't realize is that the leader of the Path, a charismatic woman known only as the Mother, has an agenda of her own, and it is one that can never coexist peacefully with the Jedi"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C508154</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://opl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S108C508154</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gratton, Tessa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://opl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/508154108</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The High Republic.
