We're going to try something new here on the Kids and Teen pages of the website. Starting this month, we will be posting a monthly write-up bringing all of the new things on the site to your attention.
For the youngest set. The days of sandcastles and Superman swimsuits are rapidly drawing to a close, but featured products Oopsy Daisy night lights and Sophie the Giraffe are handy in all four seasons.
In Kids news, September's Author of the Month is , author of such favourites as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG and James and the Giant Peach. Be sure to stop by for all your needs - we have plenty of stock to keep you busy!
In Teen news, don't forget to take a look at our new Steampunk feature! Stories of Victorian derring-do with technology the Victorians certainly never had, a history of the sub-genre and books on how to make your own steampunk creations - this feature has it all.
Finally, keep an eye out for some new categories on the sidebars in both the Kids and Teen sections. These will be showing up towards the end of the month and will (hopefully) make it easier to browse our website.

In Deathless, retells the story of Koschei the Deathless and Marya Morvena in the context of Communist Russia.
Deathless... is no dry, historical tome: it lights up like fire as the young Marya Morevna transforms from a clever child of the revolution, to Koschei's beautiful bride, to his eventual undoing. Along the way there are Stalinist house elves, magical quests, secrecy and bureaucracy, and games of lust and power. All told, Deathless is a collision of magical history and actual history, of revolution and mythology and of love and death. It brings Russian myth back to life in a stunning new incarnation.
I've always been a sucker for fairy tale retellings, and the prospect of reading one in Valente's lush prose makes me so excited. As a bonus, this is not a tale that is widely known in the West, much less retold. You can read the first three chapters for free here. It looks as though young adults would enjoy this as well, but from some reviews that I've seen, this might be more suitable for ages 15+.
Deathless should arrive at McNally Robinson any day now. Just remember: in Soviet Russia, the fairy tale reads YOU.
