Qu’est-ce que vous faites quand vous détruisez accidentellement la collection d’anciens objets historiques de votre professeur d’histoire ?

Si vous êtes des petits voyous, comme Aston et Grant, c’est bien plus qu’une question rhétorique. Ils ont fait une grave erreur qui pourrait tout leur faire perdre. À leur misère s’ajoute le fait que leur professeur d’histoire se nomme Merlin. Oui, ce Merlin, et la réponse à leur problème est étonnamment simple selon ce vieux magicien.

Vous retournez dans le temps afin de remplacer les objets que vous avez détruits ! Aston et Grant se retrouvent dans l’Égypte ancienne, où leur première tâche est de trouver et ramener « L’œil de Râ », une amulette dorée possédée par nul autre que le roi Tut, le garçon-roi d’Égypte.

Aucun d’eux ne s’y connaît vraiment en histoire, alors ils doivent garder leur sang-froid et apprendre pendant leur voyage. Et il n’y a pas que l’amulette qui leur cause des soucis, d’ailleurs. Ils deviennent bientôt amis avec Tut, et ils veulent l’aider.

Entourés d’ennemis, ayant besoin de survivre dans ce monde sauvage et primitif, Aston et Grant apprennent bien vite une vérité basique : l’histoire n’est pas morte quand vous la vivez.

Description VO :

What happens when two teenaged delinquents accidentally destroy their teacher’s prized collection of historical artifacts?

For Aston and Grant, this is more than just a rhetorical question. They’ve made a huge mistake, one that might cost them everything. Adding to their misery, their history teacher is Merlin. Yes, that Merlin. The answer to their dilemma is deceptively simple according to the old wizard: go back in time to replace the items they destroyed!

Aston and Grant find themselves in ancient Egypt, where their first task is to find and retrieve the Eye of Ra, a golden amulet owned by none other than King Tut, the boy king of Egypt. Neither of them is all that versed in history, so they have to play it cool and learn as they go. It’s not just the amulet causing them trouble either. They soon become friends with Tut and want to help him out. Surrounded by enemies, needing to survive in a primitive world, Aston and Grant quickly learn one basic truth: history isn’t dead when you’re living it.

This isn’t his sister’s Wonderland….

Henry never believed his older sister, Alice’s, fantastic tales about the world down the rabbit hole. When he’s whisked away to the bizarre land, his best chance for escape is to ally himself with the person called the Mad Hatter. Hatter—an odd but strangely attractive fellow—just wants to avoid execution. If that means delivering “Boy Alice” to the Queen of Hearts at her Red Castle, Hatter will do what he has to do to stay alive. It doesn’t matter if Henry and Hatter find each other intolerable. They’re stuck with each other.

Along their journey, Henry and Hatter must confront what they’ve always accepted as truth. As dislike grows into tolerance and something like friendship, the young men see the chance for a closer relationship. But Wonderland is a dangerous place, and first they have to get away with their lives.

Jamie’s pretty much your average gay teenager. He’s not out with his folks, he’s got a crush on a fellow high school athlete, and his life isn’t perfect. It’s a good thing he has his friend, Billy, to take his mind off things, and to show him that all things are possible.

Billy seems to be all Jamie isn’t. Billy’s openly gay, he has enough money to follow fashion trends, and he’s got dates all the time. Lots of them. With older men. When Billy starts acting weird and hiding things from him, Jamie’s whole life seems to tilt off its axis.

His stepfather, who has never been the greatest role model, escalates his behavior until Jamie dreads going home. His English teacher assigns him tutoring sessions with the object of his crush, the gorgeous track star Dylan. Jamie’s not even sure he can talk to Dylan, let alone tutor him, but it’s impossible to talk to Billy about it. Billy’s too wrapped up in a very dangerous game they call bug chasing: trying to catch HIV.

Learning about Billy’s risk-taking nearly shatters their friendship, and forces Jamie to look at the world in a whole new way. Can Jamie try to keep Billy safe and still stay on top of homework, a new boyfriend, and keeping his step-father in line?

James Dire has a problem. He doesn't breathe fire, suck blood, or sprout fur and a tail during full moons. He doesn't eat babies, or trample cities, or carry screaming women off to his underwater lair. In short, he's about as dangerous and exotic as a boxful of sand.

While this may not be an issue elsewhere, it is in Eden, James' hometown. Here, everyone, from his parents and siblings, to his classmates, to the mayor, are fire-breathing, bloodsucking, fur-sprouting monsters, and James doesn't fit in anywhere.

James always feels excluded and knows he's always suspect because of his difference. He's very shy, has few friends, and his only sense of purpose comes from his job as reporter for the school paper.

When a girl is kidnapped, James's secret crush, gorgeous werewolf, Theo, pulls him into a hunt for clues to find her before it's too late. What they discover is a plot that's much more involved than a simple kidnapping, and may get them both killed.

In Monster Town, there's nothing more dangerous than being ordinary.

All Diva wants is to be an ordinary teenage girl. Unfortunately, she’s a descendant of Merlin and a witch with enormous powers. Her birthright makes it tough to find friends, so she jumps at the chance to visit Salem and study the witch trials. There, she meets a mysterious girl who might be a ghost and uncovers a magical plot to unleash hell on earth.

The things Diva likes least about herself might be the only things that can save the world.
