“Kadushin and Brown provide spellbinding narration… Ryan’s novel translates perfectly to audio with its combination of compelling characters and exciting edge-of-your-seat action scenes.” —Publis...

In the thrilling conclusion to the Sky Chasers series, Waverly, Kieran and Seth must survive on-board the enemy ship—and try to take it down before it's too late.

Waverly and the other members of the Empyrean have been scattered, and their home ship destroyed. Their mission to rescue their parents didn't go quite as planned, and now they're at an even greater disadvantage: trapped with their enemies on the New Horizon, trying to find a way to survive. Kieran has been pulled under Anne Mather’s wing, but is she actually trying to make peace, or just using Kieran to build her own power? Meanwhile, Waverly is taken in by one of the adults who wants to work with her to bring Anne Mather down—but the more Waverly cooperates with him, the more dangerous her position is, and the more at odds with Kieran she becomes.

After setting out from the Empyrean on his own, with only a vague strategy to guide him, Seth is a fugitive aboard the New Horizon. He's doing what he can to challenge the power of Anne Mather, but is badly hurt, and getting sicker. And all the while, unknown to him, the terrorist Jacob is making plans of his own…

Will Seth ever be able to see Waverly again? Will his health hold out long enough to help her topple their enemy? And will Waverly find a way to unite her friends before they fall? Nothing is sure and every moment is a risk in this explosive finale of the Sky Chasers series.

PRAISE

Praise for the audiobook of Glow: "Dual narration brings drama to the adventures of the EMPYREAN and the NEW HORIZON. Matt Brown has excellent pacing in the narration of Kieran’s point of view…

Kadushin is a great fit for the voice of Waverley." —AudioFile Magazine AMY KATHLEEN RYAN earned an MA in English Literature at the University of Vermont, and an MFA in creative writing from the New School Creative Writing for Children Program in New York City.

The Master of Horror takes on the Master of Theatre!

It was a horror movie that turned into real horror--three young actors lost their lives while the camera rolled. Production stopped, and people claimed that the movie was cursed.

Sixty years later, new actors are venturing into the haunted set. In a desperate attempt to revive their failing studio, Claire's dad has green-lit a remake of MAYHEM MANOR--and Claire and her friends are dying to be involved.

At first, Claire laughs at Jake’s talk of ghosts and curses. He’s been too busy crushing on her best friend Delia or making out with that slut Annalee to notice that she’s practically been throwing herself at him. What does he know? And anyway, this is her big chance to be a star!

When shooting starts, though, the set is plagued by a series of horrible accidents—Could history be repeating itself?

PRAISE

“Matthew Brown voices smart-mouthed Artie, capturing his mounting terror as oddly familiar events spiral out of control and his efforts to change things make matters worse... With its surprising and satisfying conclusion, this tale will not disappoint Stine’s main fans.” – School Library Journal on It's the First Day of School...Forever R.L. STINE is the author of the bestselling Goosebumps and Fear Street series, as well as the stand-alone novel It’s the First Day of School . . . Forever! and his adult novel Red Rain. He lives in New York City with his wife, Jane, and their dog, Minnie.
