"Praise for Mythics #1: “A fun first installment in a new series that will prime readers for more.”  — Kirkus Reviews “Readers, prepare to embark on an exciting quest complete with daring adventures, mythical creatures, and an unstoppable group of friends! With THE MYTHICS: MARINA AND THE KRAKEN, Lauren Magaziner unleashes an epic new series about the power of friendship and finding what makes you special.”  — Booki Vivat, New York Times bestselling author of the FRAZZLED series “Lauren Magaziner's Mythics is exactly the kind of book I would have wanted as a kid—magical, adventurous, heartwarming, and empowering. I love each of the five heroines, and I adore this series!” — Tae Keller, Newbery Award Winning author of When You Trap a Tiger “Magical creatures meets the super girl squad meets awesomeness! Full of characters impossible not to love, THE MYTHICS is a witty and action-packed adventure about the power of friendship and embracing who you are.” — Amanda Foody, New York Times bestselling author of the WILDERLORE series “This swashbuckling adventure is the perfect entry point into a new literary world."" — Booklist Praise for Book 1 in Case Closed Series: “The ‘choose your own adventure’ format adds a fun twist, offering readers different options, like whom to interview, what to examine, and which clues to follow. An entertaining romp that will appeal to fans of humorous mysteries.”  — School Library Journal ""The characters are real kids dealing with real worries. Carlos is so concerned about money that he takes on the near-impossible task of solving a case for his mother, but it’s this concern that makes him endearing. The various options mean the story takes on a new flavor with every reading. The puzzles are based in learning, so readers work to solve each clue before moving on to the next. Magaziner blends the fun of interactive stories with a suspenseful mystery and delightful characters.""  — Booklist Praise for The Only Thing Worse Than Witches: “Readers will banish themselves from the ordinary world to finish this book in a flash.”  — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ""The kids’ slowly forming friendship has real grace and authenticity.""  — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Humorous and engaging.”  — ALA Booklist “Lauren Magaziner fashions a rich and compelling alternative reality.”  — Chicago Tribune “Hilarious, light-hearted debut would be a great read-aloud for middle grade classrooms.”  — Library Media Connection"
