What happens when a mischievous nine-tailed fox goes toe-to-toe with a colossal golem? What happens when Japanese and Jewish folklore collide?
In the latest entry in the series, Pablo, Maggie, and Takashi's monster banishing has made them popular. Lately, though, monsters are the least of Takashi’s problems. Wrestling with his parents’ divorce, his father’s impossibly high expectations, and his multicultural identity, he decides to summon a “helpful” monster: a shapeshifting nine-tailed fox called Kitsune.
The charming Kitsune gets straight to work solving problems for Takashi and his classmates, and before long, the entire school is under his spell. As the situation spirals out of control, Pablo and Maggie turn to an unexpected source to rescue their best friend. But is summoning a second monster a brilliant plan, or a recipe for disaster?

After a science experiment gone wrong, fifth grader David Patel and his second-grade neighbor/sidekick Marta Martinez are transported to...the Micro Universe!—a weird world inside our own that doesn't obey the laws of conventional physics. While they're able to return home thanks to a strange little creature named Spark, the pair doesn't realize that they've led a group of nefarious beings called Negatrons back to our world in the process.
Using 18 real do-it-yourself science experiments that readers can try at home, David, Marta, and Spark must save their small town from an invasion of these energy-leeching Negatrons.

Feba, an orphaned wolf cub, is believed to be cursed. Her rare white fur is said to be a bad omen. When a mysterious creature starts killing members of Feba’s pack one by one, all eyes fall on her. She has no choice but to run away, forced to roam the perilous Snowlands all on her own ...
Until she meets Usha, a fiercely independent leopard, and Batu, a bumbling wildcat, each with their own secrets and reasons for wandering the Snowlands. Together, they form an unlikely trio, bound by fate. As these uneasy allies cross the frosty wilderness, they’ll uncover a widespread danger in the mountains that threatens to destroy everything.
