Terry Lynn Johnson

Eleven-year-old Matt is struggling in school and he has to set up his own business to save his failing math grade. But what is he even good at? The only thing he truly loves is his team of dogs, and so Matt's Sled Dog School is born. Teaching dogsledding should be easy, right? 



But people, just like dogs, can be unpredictable. And sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is admit they need help. Like Terry Lynn Johnson's popular Ice Dogs, Sled Dog School is about overcoming adversity, finding your strengths, and your friends, and following your passions.

Celebrate that magic of Christmas...


This year, Riley Archer's seventh grade class is having an anonymous gift exchange called "Secret Snowflake." Riley is thrilled when she gets to be the Secret Snowflake for the cutest boy in school, Marcus Anderson, who she's had a crush on for two years. To make things even more exciting, there's a rumor going around the school that Marcus is Riley's Secret Snowflake too! Riley puts her heart into making homemade gifts for Marcus to let him know how special he is to her, even though her friends warn her that Marcus might think her homemade gifts are lame. When Riley starts receiving presents that are just as thoughtful as her own, she is sure that Marcus is just the boy she's always believed him to be. Is Riley's Secret Snowflake her secret crush...or will she be crushed when she finds out who it is?

Nobody to rely on but themselves. Can they make it home alive?

Sara realizes she might not the only one with amazing paranormal powers.

Sara is used to having visions, but she has no idea why she keeps seeing a cute blonde she's dubbed "Mystery Boy"...and then she meets him. Mason isn't all that friendly, yet Sara feels drawn to him, and the two begin spending more and more time together. Sara isn't sure she even likes him, but she can't stop thinking about him. And the strangest things seem to happen whenever the two are together...

Meanwhile, Sara begins to suspect that she has developed another power: telekenesis. Lady Azura insists she is mistaken, but the more research Sara does, the surer she is that she--or someone close to her--has the rare and awesome ability to move objects with the mind. The question is, who is it?
