Kai and Kishi share the same futon, the same face, and the same talent for pearl diving. But Kishi is the obedient daughter, while Kai tries to push the rules, and sometimes they fight. Still, when Kishi is stolen and killed by the legendary Ghost Whale, nothing will stop Kai from searching for her, deep in the ocean, hoping for a way to bring her back to life. But such a rescue is beyond the power of an ordinary mortal. Kai strikes a deal with the gods: she’ll steal a magic pearl in exchange for her sister’s soul. As she journeys across treacherous land scape, Kai must navigate encounters with scheming bandits, a power-hungry war lord, and a legion of conniving fox spirits. And when a new friendship becomes something almost as powerful as her love for her sister, Kai must make impossible choices and risk everything just to get home again.

This is an accessible and compelling homage to Marie Curie, whose life and legacy continue to inspire to this very day.

Middle school is all about labels. Izzy is the dreamer. There’s nothing Izzy loves more than acting in skits and making up funny stories. The downside? She can never quite focus enough to get her schoolwork done. Bri is the brain. While she’s proud of her excellent grades, she wishes people would see there’s more to her than just a report card full of As. And that her mum would stop bugging her to ‘break out of her shell’ and join drama club. The girls’ lives collide on the day of the school talent show, which turns out to be even more dramatic than either Bri or Izzy could have imagined – and proves once and for all that the only label you need is ‘be yourself’.
