Ice on fire / by Halliwell, Geri,1972-;
"On the brink of discovering who--or what--lies behind her mother's death, Rosie Frost begins a new adventure with a murder to solve, revenge on her mind, and more questions than she has answers. It's a new term at Heverbridge School, and Bloodstone Island is in turmoil: mutant animals are on the loose, jealous classmates want to bring Rosie down, and, even worse, there's a black hole to deal with. Below the island's surface, an everlasting star is growing in strength, and it just may end them all. Rosie discovers the north side of the island, home to the alluring Imperium Palace. But is the palace one of scientific genius or deadly menace? While she fights to know the truth about her past--and her family's ancient ties to Bloodstone--Rosie begins to wonder if the price for the truth may be too high. She must discover what she's really made of as a fresh danger puts her new home--and all that she loves--at risk"--Ages 10 up.

"Dee Kwan's secrets for a happy life: Always remain positive, no matter the cost; Realize that every setback is a hidden opportunity; Accept compliments graciously, especially when given by mega-hot rivals; Never, ever question whether any of these mantras actually work. For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive "nemesis" who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can't, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.) Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and prickly estranged grandmother. Then she's tossed into the deep end, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren't enough, she discovers her hot-nemesis works there, too ... and Teddy is nothing like the man she thought she knew. Before she can cry foul, Teddy comes clean about his double life: he's the heir to the CEO and he needs her help to make Celeste a better place-for everyone. But that means taking down the old guard-including his father-intent on standing in their way. Now in the center of a dizzying corporate coup, Dee is forced to decide whether she's ready to stop watching the world through rose-colored glasses and instead face the truth: about herself, about her feelings for Teddy, and about what she's willing to do to truly make a difference"--
