Which Witch?
Amman the Awful, the handsome Wizard of the North, has decided to marry. But which witch will it be? Arriman devises a contest; whoever performs the darkest piece of magic will hecome his bride. Belladonna, the smallest of the coven, wants desperately to win, but she has one problem: she's a good witch. Her spells conjure up begonias and baby birds, not nests of vipers or bloodshot eyeballs. But Belladonna is in love, and she's determined to do something sinister in time for the contest. . . .

The Secret of Platform 13
One platform in one of London's busiest stations is an old doorway covered with peeling posters. No one walking by (if anyone did) would guess that it is the entrance to a magical kingdom — an island where humans live happily with mermaids, ogres, feys, and wonderful creatures called mistmakers. Carefully hidden from the world, the Island is accessible only when the door opens for nine days every nine years. A lot can go wrong in nine days. When the beastly Mrs. Trottle kidnaps the prince of the Island, it's up to a strange band of rescuers to save him. But can an ogre, a hag, a wizard, and a fey troop around London unnoticed? And what if the prince doesn't want to go back?
