Teenager Achilles is fresh out of juvie.It wasn't even for something he did; he took the fall for a crime committed by his father, a member of the Greek mafia. As hard as prison was for Achilles, being outside is proving even harder. He struggles to reconnect with his former girlfriend Carla while getting his GED and navigating the bizarre parole condition of qualifying for a Greco-Roman wrestling competition. At least his mom, an ardent follower of traditional Greek religion, is there to help Achilles win the favor of the gods with animal sacrifices in the back garden.When Principal McKenna sets Achilles up with a student tutor, out-and-proud Hispanic math genius Jesús, things start to turn mythical. After saving Jesús from a violent homophobic attack, the Gods want a word with Achilles. With the help of Underworld boatman Charon (in full drag), Achilles' heroic actions spark an epic adventure of mythological proportions that will force Achilles to confront, and defeat, all his many, many demons in order to win what his heart truly desires.

Charity pupil Tammo hates the school and everyone in it, and wants to live in the woods, charming birds with his flute.When Tammo meets Carlo, their lives change forever. With the help of the Archangel, they can grant to each other whatever their hearts desire. But staying true isn't easy, and their choices will affect not just their futures, but that of Celestina-a young aristocrat destined to be the third person in their relationship.

Together, they venture beyond their sanctuary, stepping into a world of hunters, life-changing discoveries, secrets, royalties, and magic to seek peace for their kind at last.The girls will soon learn that no battle comes without sacrifice, and their choices hold the power to shape the destinies of all witches.
When Mo's therapist suggested she get an after-school job to help with her depression, she didn't expect to end up as the photographer at the Easter Bunny photo set. She also didn't expect to befriend Billy, the man in the bunny suit-an extremely tattooed ex-gangster (probably).Mo's therapist also didn't lay out the risks. Like how Mo's shoplifting habit might make things difficult with her mall cop dad. Or how the cute changing room attendant at Pandora's Box might reveal to the world that Mo's queer before she's ready.Or how it all might end with Mo getting arrested.Well, whatever her therapist expected, Mo's about to tell her the truth...for maybe the first time. Because after it all blows up, she's all Mo's got-besides her only real friend, the Easter Bunny at the mall.
