From a masterful storyteller comes an adventure filled with magic and mischief, courage and family. Perfect for fans of The Penderwicks and the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. In the city of Hodorf, the Tattercoats live by a strict code. Only steal what you need, don't leave a trace of yourself behind, and if another Tattercoat is in trouble, you must always help them out. These are the rules that guide Nim's life as she and her rat, Nibbles, live on the streets and the rooftops of the only place she's ever called home. So when a new boy named Otto comes to town and gets caught up in the devious plottings of a former Tattercoat who's fallen from grace, Nim takes it upon herself to come to Otto's rescue. But Otto isn't the only one who needs help: The days in Hodorf have been growing progressively shorter and darker since the legendary sundragons went extinct. The air is getting colder, hope is waning, and it won't be long until the freeze grows so bone-deep that the chimneys the Tattercoats use for warmth at night will no longer suffice. With things growing more dire, Nim sets off into the murky woods surrounding the city, searching for Otto--and for answers. With this story of magic, wonder, adventure, and smarts, Matilda firmly establishes herself as a powerful voice in the middle-grade space. Praise for Otto Tattercoat and the Forest of Lost Things: * "An engrossing tale...Both charming and wise." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Woods fills her tale with vivid settings--a Dickensian atmosphere, a fairyland forest--and touching teamwork, and Otto's fortitude makes for a winning read." --Publishers Weekly "[A] frosty tale of magic and bravery." --Booklist

He had what every lawyer needs: the killer instinct He was the hottest new item in the legal profession: America’s first media attorney; the lawyer who bullied his way into Washington and got his face on every TV in the nation; the restless, ruthless ferret of a man who wheeled and dealed his way into the chandeliered sanctums of Palm Beach and the cushioned backseats of limousines. The silver-tongued advocate who would have the daily headlines no matter what the price. Suicides and broken hearts meant nothing to a man so insatiable for fame and power. J. T. Wright wanted it all . . . and God help the people who stood in his way.
