Ruby Key (Book I of Moon & Sun)
On the most dangerous night of the year, fourteen-year-old Genna and her
twelve-year-old brother Danrith go into the forest to find a healing
tree sap that could save their mother's life. But they don't come back.
Instead, they are drawn into the world of the dangerous nightlings, and
into a bargain with the immortal nightling kai-lord--find a missing
child, or they and their mother will die. (Scholastic, May 1, 2008)

The Very
Large Object That ATE the Other Very Large Objects!
The Sargasso. Space ships go in, and they don't come back. But as the
all-destroying Nefrim drive humanity from the stars, everything depends
on one captain's desperate gambit: to dial his stardrive to zero—to
"fall off the map"—and plunge into the ocean-covered pocket universe
that is the Sargasso. Within is a secret that can change a galaxy. And,
though escape is a trick generations of trapped starfarers have tried
and failed to master—now the fate of two universes depends on Mikail
Volkov being the first to GET OUT!
