Could there be such a thing as a
best frenemy?
Ida May finally fits in at school after becoming
best friends with Stacey Merriweather, who is
universally liked by their classmates. But then Ida’s
frenemy, bossy Jenna Drews, brings in a game of
truth or dare, and all the girls are suddenly daring
one another to misbehave. When Ida finds herself
in the principal’s office, she’s scared into ratting out
her friends and gets freezed out of the group. The
only way she can fix things is to take a triple-dog
dare: letting one of the girls pierce her ears. Will
her BFF come to her rescue, or is this the perfect job
for a frenemy?
Packed with fourth-grade jealousies, problems,
misbehavior, and consequences, this third book
about Ida May stands on its own.
“Hits all the right emotional notes . . . [with a] wry,
sweet, proud protagonist . . . just right for the age
group.”
—Booklist review for My Last Best Friend
“Fans of Ida May will be overjoyed to read this new
installment.”
—Kirkus Reviews for My New Best Friend
Julie Bowe (www.juliebowe.com) made her writing debut
with the Ida May books. She lives in Wisconsin.

from David Soman and Jacky Davis:
This tale of summertime bravery
is a sunny addition to the New
York Times bestselling Ladybug
Girl books!
Lulu loves the beach. Well, she’s never been there
before, but she knows she will love it. And then she
sees the ocean and it is big and loud and rough.
That’s okay—Lulu wanted to build sand castles and
fly her kite with Bingo anyway. But while they are
building their sand castle, the sneaky ocean comes
in and tries to steal Lulu’s favorite pail. This is a job
for Ladybug Girl!
Lulu conquers her fear of the ocean when she
remembers that Ladybug Girl can do anything, in
this gorgeously illustrated companion to the popular
series.
David Soman and Jacky Davis live in Rosendale, New York.
They are a husband-and-wife team, and the Ladybug Girl
books are inspired by their daughter and son.

She never knew she loved horses
until she needed them the most
Hannah Gale starts volunteering at a horse stable
because she needs a place to escape. Her father
has returned from the Iraq war as an amputee with
posttraumatic stress disorder, and his nightmares
rock the household. At the stable, Hannah comes to
love Jack, Super Dee, and Indy; helps bring a rescued
mare back from the brink; and witnesses the birth of
the filly who steals her heart. Hannah learns more
than she ever imagined about horse training, abuse,
and rescues, as well as her own capacity for hope.
Physical therapy with horses could be the answer to
her father’s prayers, if only she can get him to try.
“There’s nothing so good for the inside of a man as
the outside of a horse.”
—Old English proverb

A true tall tale about a girl who
kept growing
Ella Kate Ewing was born in 1872. She started out
small, but she just kept on growing. Soon she was
too tall for her desk at school, too tall for her bed
at home, too tall to t anywhere. Ella Kate was a
real-life giant, but she refused to hide herself away.
Instead, she used her unusual height to achieve her
equally large dreams.
The masterful Klise sisters deliver a touching and
inspiring true story about a strong-minded girl who
finally embraced her differences. It’s the perfect
book for every child who has ever felt like an outsider.
Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise (www.kateandsarahklise.com)
are sisters and co-creators of many award-winning books
for children. Kate lives in Norwood, Missouri, and Sarah
lives in Berkeley, California.

What would you do if a friend
asked you to help him die?
Fifteen-year-old Grace Manning is a candy striper in
a nursing home, and Mr. Sands is the one patient
who makes the job bearable. He keeps up with her
sarcasm, teaches her to play poker . . . and one day
cheerfully asks her to help him die. At first Grace
says no way, but as Mr. Sands’s disease progresses,
she’s not so sure. Grace tries to avoid the wrenching
decision by praying for a miracle, stuffing herself
with pancakes, and running away from all feelings,
including the new ones she has for her best friend
Eric. But Mr. Sands is getting worse, and she can’t
avoid him forever.
Robin Epstein has delivered an incredibly engaging,
thought-provoking debut YA novel, with all the

Acharming,youngerspin-offto
the popular YA trilogy Sorcery
& Cecelia by a beloved fantasy
author
Young Frederick is plucked from an orphanage to
be a footboy for a wizard named Lord Schofield
in Victorian England. Is his uncanny ability to tie
perfect knots and render boots spotless a sign of
his own magical talent, or the work of Billy Bly, the
brownie who has been secretly watching over him
since he was little? No matter, for the wizard has
banished all magical creatures from his holdings.
But Billy Bly isn’t going anywhere, and when he
discovers a curse upon the manor house, it’s up to
Frederick and Billy Bly to keep the lord’s new baby
safe and rid the Schofield family of the curse forever.
“Her characters are clever, courageous, and charming,
even in the midst of harrowing adventure.”
—Holly Black
“It’s a romp! I read straight through, cheering for
the plucky servant kids, loving the household magic,
and terrified of the curse!”
—Tamora Pierce
“I loved it.”
—Jane Yolen
“Absolutely compelling.”
—Sarah Prineas, author of The Magic Thief

revealed in this final companion
to The White Giraffe
Martine and her grandmother discover that they
might lose Sawubona, their African game reserve,
to the sinister Reuben James. But a prophecy from
Grace rouses Martine and her best friend, Ben,
into action. To find the truth and save the reserve,
Martine and Ben must stow away in an airplane,
which strands them in the desert, thwart Mr. James’s
creepy henchman, and rescue a herd of very special
elephants from the dangerous Moon Valley.
The adventure also leads the kids to answers about
Martine’s destiny. Jemmy, the white giraffe, and
Khan, the last leopard, are alongside Martine and
Ben as the Secret Valley reveals its mysteries in this
satisfying conclusion to the series that began with
the #1 Children’s BookSense Pick, The White Giraffe.
Lauren St. John (www.laurenstjohn.com) says, “The best
part about writing the White Giraffe series has been living
with characters whose mission is not only to heal and
save animals, but to make their lives better.” Lauren
grew up on a game preserve in Zimbabwe, which was the
inspiration for this series.

Foranykidwho’severwanteda

a picture book
Sidney, a rather rotund pig, loves to write
rhyming poems for his friends’ birthdays. On one
such occasion, he realizes his own name doesn’t
rhyme with anything except . . . well, kidney. This
just will not do. Sidney resolves to change his name
to Joe, an extremely rhyme-able name. But being
“
Joe
“
is hard to remember. His friends aren’t that
keen on it. And when Sidney’s mom finds out, she’s
crushed. After all, Sidney was named after his great-
great-great-grandfather, the inventor of the mop!
What’s a pig with a non-rhyming name to do?
Jane Sutton’s text is full of laughs, and wonderfully
complemented by Renata Gallio’s charming
characters, quirky details, and rolling perspectives.
Kids will love Sidney’s solution and identify with his
name-changing plight.

A profound and funny tale of
self-discovery and the power of
friendship
For months, Cass has heard her best friend, Julia,
whisper about a secret project. When Julia dies in a
car accident, her drama friends decide to bring the
project—a musical called Totally Sweet Ninja Death
Squad—to fruition. But Cass isn't a drama person.
She can’t take a summer of painting sets, and she
won’t spend long hours with Heather, the girl who
made her miserable all through middle school and
has somehow landed the leading role. So Cass takes
off. In alternating chapters, she spends the first part
of summer on a cross-country bike trip and the rest
swallowing her pride, making props, and—of all
things—falling for Heather.
This is a story of the breadth of love. Of the depth
of friendship. And of the most hilarious musical one
quiet suburb has ever seen.
Emily Horner (www.emilyhorner.com) is originally from
Montreal, Quebec. A fan of Japanese pop culture—including
ninjas, of course—she is currently a librarian in Brooklyn,
New York.

A: The rst teeny spark was this huge, crumbling Victorian

Q: Are the story’s main characters—Olive, Morton, the three
cats—basedonpeople(orpets!)youknow?
A: Horatio, Harvey, and Leopold are all real cats, and those
are their real names. Of course, the real-world versions talk
less. Olive and Morton, on the other hand, are completely

Moxie Roosevelt Kipper has endured thirteen years
of being an ordinary girl with an unordinary name.
Now that she’s entered boarding school, the time
is ripe to reinvent herself. She’ll become unusual,
outlandish, unexpected, sassy—someone worthy

Individual to Assertive Revolutionary Activist, Moxie
tries them all, while keeping her true talent for

Moxie isn't the only one who isn't what she claims
to be.
I see it like one of those reality shows where a team

The epic fourth novel in the
Vampire Academy series—now in

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir’s Academy
was the deadliest ever in the school’s history, claim-
ing the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guard-
ians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their
victims with them . . . including Dimitri.
He’d rather die than be one of them, and now Rose
must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she
has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the
promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But
with everything at stake, how can she possibly de-
stroy the person she loves most?
“ . . . The most exciting yet . . . Mead’s storytelling
improves with each installment, as she keeps read-
ers on the edge of their seats while adding a few
unexpected twists.” —The Associated Press

When your whole life is about
saving others, who will save you?
After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimi-
tri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally
returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend,
Lissa. It is nearly graduation, and the girls can’t wait
for their real lives beyond the Academy’s iron gates
to begin. But Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri, and

Evil is a lot harder to fight
when it comes from within
In this sequel to New York Times bestselling author
Nancy Holder’s Possessions, Lindsay finds out that
she, too, is possessed, and must return to creepy
Marlwood Academy in order to rid herself of the
spirit. Lindsay’s afraid of what the spirit is telling
her to do—kill Mandy! But the secrets of Marlwood
go much deeper than Lindsay thought. Sometimes
the girls who seem like enemies are actually on your
side. And the voices you trust the most—the voices
that come from within—are the ones that want you
dead.
Nancy Holder (www.nancyholder.com) is the author of The
New York Times bestselling Wicked series as well as Pretty
Little Devils. She is a four-time winner of the Bram Stoker

Tessa goes from strawberry
smoothie to suddenly single
After her center-court split with Aiden, Tessa put the
SOS behind her. After all, cheaters never prosper!
Now she’s busy working on her faux-relationship
with Aiden and negotiating the unfamiliar waters
of “technically single and pseudo-dating.”
Life can’t get any more dismal for a one-guy kind of
girl until an imposter hijacks the SOS, and it’s up to
Tessa to save her squad from slander. But with her
best boy hot and cold, what’s a kitten to do?
Even worse, Tessa doesn’t realize how much she’s
up against—because this copykitten is far more
naughty than nice.

Threesisters,threeextraordinary,
life-changing powers!
I hugged my sisters and they fit against my sides like
two jigsaw pieces that would never fit anywhere
else. I couldn’t imagine ever letting them go again,
like releasing them would be to surrender the best
parts of myself.
Three sisters share a magical, unshakeable bond
in this witty high-concept novel from the critically
acclaimed author of Audrey, Wait! Around the time
of their parents’ divorce, sisters April, May, and June
recover special powers from childhood—powers
that come in handy navigating the hell that is high
school. Powers that help them cope with the hard-
est year of their lives. But could they have a greater
purpose?
April, the oldest and a bit of a worrier, can see the
future. Middle-child May can literally disappear.
And baby June reads minds—everyone’s but her
own. When April gets a vision of disaster, the girls
come together to save the day and reconcile their
strained family. They realize that no matter what
happens, powers or no powers, they’ll always have
each other.
Because there’s one thing stronger than magic:
sisterhood.

If you answered yes to any of these questions,
you may have experienced a previous life.
Reincarnation explains many of the mysteries of human existence.
Why some of us are born with remarkable gifts. Why we love the
people we love. Why we fear the things we fear. We return to Earth
time and time again, driven by love, vengeance, passion, or greed.
And each life leaves its mark on us, even if we lose most of our mem-
ories as our souls are transferred from one living body to the next.
If you believe that you may have lived before—or if you’re interested
in learning more about reincarnation—we urge you to contact the
Ouroboros Society today.

What if love refused to die?
Haven Moore can’t control her visions of a past
with a boy called Ethan, and a life in New York that
ended in fiery tragedy. In our present, she designs
beautiful dresses for her classmates with her best
friend Beau. Dressmaking keeps her sane, since she
lives with her widowed and heartbroken mother in
her tyrannical grandmother’s house in Snope City, a
tiny town in Tennessee. Then an impossible group
of coincidences conspire to force her to flee to New
York, to discover who she is, and who she was.
In New York, Haven meets Iain Morrow and is swept
into an epic love affair that feels both deeply fated
and terribly dangerous. Iain is suspected of murder-
ing a rock star and Haven wonders, could he have
murdered her in a past life? She visits the Ouroboros
Society and discovers a murky world of reincarna-
tion that stretches across millennia. Haven must dis-
cover the secrets hidden in her past lives, and loves¸
before all is lost and the cycle begins again.

doesitwithmoreair!
Winnie Perry is fourteen now, and the countdown
to high school is shaping up to be as eventful as
an entire year of middle school. Not only are things
shaky with her boyfriend, Lars, but BFFs Dinah and
Cinnamon have been acting weird, big sister Sandra
is college-bound, little brother Ty has smuggled a
stolen penguin home in his backpack, and new baby
sister Maggie has everything turned upside down.
It’s a lot for anyone to handle, and loyal Winnie is so
busy worrying about everyone else that she hardly
notices that she might just be struggling a little bit
herself.
With humor and honesty, Lauren Myracle brings us
another pitch-perfect novel featuring the characters
that her legions of fans have grown up loving.
Lauren Myracle (www.laurenmyracle.com) is the best-
selling and award-winning author of many novels, including
the Winnie and Internet girls series. A graduate of the
Vermont College MFA program in writing for children

Lifeandlovestoriesoverlapand
intertwine in the telling of one
transforming summer
Eighteen-year-old Anabelle’s last few months in
her coastal hometown are bittersweet. Instead of
the quiet precollege summer she expects, Anabelle
makes some surprising discoveries about herself as
she navigates romantic entanglements and changing
friendships. Through shifting points of view in seven
interconnected stories, we glimpse the limits of how
well her friends really know Anabelle . . . and how
little she grasps about the way they see her.
With wry observations and quirky humor, critically
acclaimed novelist Hillary Frank gives voice and
depth to six unique characters whose stories inter-
twine to form a complete picture of one shared
summer.
Hillary Frank (www.HillaryFrank.com) is a writer and radio

the decision whether to embrace
life or live scared
In many ways, Natalie O’Reilly is a typical fourteen-
year-old girl. But a routine visit to the eye doctor
produces devastating news: Natalie will lose her
sight within a few short months.
Suddenly her world is turned upside down. Natalie
is sent to a school for the blind to learn skills such as
Braille and how to use a cane. Outwardly, she does
as she’s told; inwardly, she hopes for a miracle that
will free her from a dreaded life of blindness. But
the miracle does not come, and Natalie ultimately
must confront every blind person’s dilemma. Will
she go home to live scared? Or will she embrace
the skills she needs to make it in a world without

is back, better—and smarter—
than ever
After his mama tells him that school—obedience
school, that is—is only for dogs, the kitty boy who
thinks he is a Chihuahua knows that’s the place
for him. So he heads off to the playground of his
imagination where he is surrounded by dogs of all
kinds, including his best buddies, the Chimichango
gang. But a bully is sending shiver-itos down the
spines of the little yippers. How Skippy busts the
bully and gets the biggest gold star makes for a big
learning experience—in fun!—for everyone.

The true tale of how a classic was
born
People around the world know the story of Peter
Pan, the boy who would not grow up, but not many
know the story of his creator, J. M. Barrie. Barrie’s
young childhood was marked by sorrow, but also
held great adventure. His adult life and relationship
with the Davies family brought about a second
childhood that helped him to create his lasting
triumph. Masterfully illustrated by Steve Adams and
using Barrie’s own words, Jane Yolen tells the story
of the author and the boys who changed his life.
Jane Yolen has been called “America’s Hans Christian
Andersen.” She lives in Massachusetts and Scotland.
Steve Adams is an award-winning illustrator. He lives with
his family in Quebec.

World Cup fever!
What happens when a star player ends up on the
worst team? He either learns to lose or he stops
playing the game he loves. These are the choices
facing Jake, who has gone from champion to last
place, testing his sportsmanship every time his soc-
cer team gets waxed. It is his teammate Kevin who
shows Jake that being a good captain means scor-
ing and assisting off the field as much as being the
star player on it.
The latest in #1 bestseller Mike Lupica’s Comeback
Kids novels is a cheer-worthy ode to the one sport
played by more kids across the country than any
other—in the summer of the next World Cup.

A debut novel about growing
up—on the eld as well as off
LJ knows her place in the world is on the soccer field.
When she’s out there scoring goals, everything’s
right. But being a big-shot on the field has started
going to her head. She’s been letting her temper get
the best of her—both on the field and off, alienat-
ing everyone around her. Everyone except Tabitha,
the popular girl who cares more about credit cards
than yellow cards and spends most of her time on
the bench. But when it’s LJ on the bench instead of
Tabitha, forced to be a spectator instead of a star,
she realizes that sometimes it takes more skill and
guts to make others look good instead of yourself.
And that by losing a little glory, you can win more
than just championships.

Introducing a phenomenal new
talent!
When poor Boston girl Stephanie is abandoned by
her abusive mother and taken in by Annie’s Beverly
Hills family, she feels anything but home. Her dark
complexion and accent stick out like a sore thumb
in the golden-hued world of blondes and extrava-
gance. These are girls who seem to live life in fast-
forward, while Stephanie is stuck on pause. Yet
when a new rival moves to town, threatening An-
nie’s queen-bee status, Stephanie finds herself tak-
ing sides in a battle she never even knew existed,
and that feeling invisible is a wound that can only
be healed by standing up for who she is.
Brilliant newcomer Mary Hanlon Stone delivers a
compulsively readable insider’s view of growing up
in a world where money and privilege don’t always
glitter.

A fun-lled adventure in the
spirit of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
by New York Times bestselling
author Clive Cussler
Take a look at Casey and Lacey Nicefolk and you’ll
see two regular, all-American kids. But these broth-
er and sister twins have a secret. Hidden in the fam-
ily barn is the most magical—and coolest—gadget
unknown to man: a mystical box that can turn any
small object into a life-size replica.
When the twins’ parents go out of town, the two
decide to put the box to use. Taking a model boat,
they create a fully functioning powerboat and en-
ter a race up the Sacramento River. But this is no
ordinary boat, and this is no ordinary race. What
follows is a nautical adventure where being the first
to cross the finish line is not the only prize.

Solving crimes runs in the family
As Enola searches for the missing Lady Blanchefleur
del Campo, she discovers that her brother Sherlock
is just as diligently searching for Enola herself—and
this time he really needs to catch her! He is in pos-
session of a most peculiar package, a message from
their long-lost mother that only Enola can decipher.
Sherlock, along with their brother Mycroft, must
follow Enola into the reeking tunnels of London’s
dark underbelly as they solve a triple mystery:
What has happened to their mother? And to Lady
Blanchefleur? And what does either have to do
with Mycroft, who holds Enola’s future in his ever-
so-proper hands?
No one, not even Sherlock, is left unchanged or
unsurprised in this brilliant conclusion to the Enola
Holmes mystery series.

HC: 978-0-399-25185-6 • $16.99 (NCR)
Talent is a commodity in this
comic adventure
Adam’s sister is a singing sensation and he is her
biggest fan. Unlike his superstar sibling, this twelve-
year-old boy excels at absolutely nothing—although
his sister would argue that he’s the master of getting
on her nerves. But when a mysterious creature as
old as time steals her talent, it’s Adam who fearlessly
leads the charge to retrieve it and stop the creature
before it can take the talents of other children.
Brimming with colorful characters and dastardly
villains, and recalling the best of Roald Dahl, Alex
Williams presents a humorous adventure about
where talent truly lies.
Alex Williams lives in England.

There is no safe direction to run . . .
Bleeding and dizzy, Blade wakes up to find himself
in the hospital. But how did he get there? With en-
emies coming at him from all sides, it’s hard to know
who attacked him. But he knows that whoever it
was will be back to finish him off. And quick. So he’s
gotta go. He’s gotta break outta there. Not only to
save his own life, but there’s kindly old Mary and lit-
tle Jaz to think about. Who’s looking out for them?
On the run, with grinks hot on his tail and gravely
injured, Blade will have to gather all his strength
just to survive. And with nowhere to hide, he needs
to run. Because this time, if he plays dead, that’s ex-
actly how he’ll end up.
This captivating and suspenseful series never lets up.
If A Clockwork Orange were to meet The Outsiders,
Blade would be the result.

When young Trisha finds out her class at the new
school is known as “The Junkyard,” she is devas-
tated. She moved from her old town so she wouldn’t
be in a special class anymore! But then she meets
her teacher, the quirky and invincible Mrs. Peter-
son, and her classmates, an oddly brilliant group of
students each with his or her own unique talent.
And it is here in The Junkyard that Trisha learns the
true meaning of genius, and that this group of mis-
fits are, in fact, wonders, all of them.
Based on a real-life event in Patricia Polacco’s child-
hood, this ode to teachers will inspire all readers to
find their inner genius.

It’s the year of
Ranger’s Apprentice!
Mankind puts its faith in many things—gods, kings,
money—anything for protection from the world’s
many dangers. When a cult springs up in neighbor-
ing Clonmel, promising to quell the recent attacks
by lawless marauders, people flock from all over
to offer gold in exchange for protection. But this
particular group, with which Halt is all too familiar,
has a less than charitable agenda. Secrets will be un-
veiled and battles fought to the death as Will and
Horace help Halt in ridding the land of a dangerous
enemy.
The worldwide phenomenon is back with a gripping
new adventure. Yet for these Rangers, the peril is
only beginning . . .

What if you find your soul mate
. . . and he’s your best friend’s
boyfriend?
Best friends Lani and Erin couldn’t be more differ-
ent. Lani’s reserved and thoughtful; Erin’s bubbly
and outgoing. Lani likes to do her own thing; Erin
prefers an entourage. There’s no possible way they
could be interested in the same guy.
So when Erin starts dating Jason, Lani can’t believe
she feels such a deep connection with him—and it
may be mutual. The more Lani fights it, the more
certain she feels that it’s her fate to be with Jason.
But what do you do when the love of your life is the
one person you can’t have?

A haunting, visceral story of rst
love . . . and life-changing choices
Madeleine and Rogan are first cousins, best friends,
twinned souls, each other’s first love. Even within
their large, disorderly family—all descendants of
a famous actress—their intensity and passion for
theater sets them apart. It makes them a little dan-
gerous. When they are cast in their school’s pro-
duction of Twelfth Night, they are forced to face
their separate talents and futures, and their future
together. This masterful short novel, winner of the
World Fantasy Award, is magic on paper.
“Stunning. . . . The evocations of the play, of
first love, of intense desire, are pitch-perfect.”

The story of a good girl gone bad
Fifteen-year-old Molly Biden has always been studi-
ous, dependable, some might even say saintly. And
she’s sick of herself. So when she spots mysterious bad
boy Grady Dillon, she devises a plan to make herself
over into someone new, someone who will attract
Grady’s attention. She succeeds—but a little too well.
When Molly discovers she’s pregnant, she’s forced to
make the hardest choice of her life.
This addictively readable portrayal of Molly’s struggle
to accept her pregnancy and the fact that her life
will never be the same is told entirely in poetry, from
sonnets to haiku.

KJ Carson lives an outdoor lover’s dream. The only
daughter of a fishing and wildlife guide, KJ can
hold her own on the water or in the mountains near
her hometown outside Yellowstone National Park.
But when she meets the shaggy-haired, intensely
appealing Virgil, KJ loses all self-possession. And
she’s not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that
they’re assigned to work together on a school news-
paper article about the famous wolves of Yellow-
stone. As KJ spends time with Virgil, she also spends
more time getting to know a part of her world that
she always took for granted . . . and she begins to
see herself and her town in a whole new light.
Kristen Chandler has spent summers in Yellowstone at her
family’s cabin since she was a young girl. She is a fisher-
woman, a marathoner, a writing instructor, and the mother
of four children. She and her family live outside Salt Lake

If you don’t like your life—jump!
Jump. That is what P.K. has done. A totally wild,
crazy jump from a restrictive life with her family
into a life of total adventure—rock-climbing out
west with a guy she barely knows. At first, every-
thing’s amazing. Not only are they climbing in awe-
somely beautiful national parks like Yosemite but
they seem awesomely made for one another. P.K.
is in heaven. And then the cops show up . . . with
an arrest warrant. And P.K. has to decide who to
believe: this amazing guy whom she trusts with her
life—or the cops, who want her to believe that he
may take her life.
Elisa Carbone (www.elisacarbone.com) knows the sub-
ject matter of Jump extremely well, having rock-climbed
across the country, including in Yosemite National Park.
She is the author of many award-winning books, including
Stealing Freedom and Storm Warriors. The mother of two
grown children, she lives with her husband in Maryland

Best friends from Moon Rabbit
are back in a charming new story
Brown Rabbit is excited to make his first-ever trip to
the city to visit his best friend, Little Rabbit. But the
visit doesn’t go quite as planned. Little Rabbit is so
busy making sure that they see all her favorite cafés,
shops, and museums that she forgets the real reason
for Brown Rabbit’s visit—to see her! It takes a lovely
garden and a sweet surprise to show them both that
all the hustle and bustle of the city is worth little
without a good friend to share it with.
Lovingly told, this beautiful book by Scottish
author-illustrator Natalie Russell reminds readers of
the simple delight of friendship.
H“The story’s considerable appeal is amplified
by Russell’s exceptional artwork. . . . A charming
offering.”—Booklist, starred review for Moon Rabbit
H“Children (and adults) will appreciate this gentle
take on the joys of companionship.”—Publishers
Weekly, starred review for Moon Rabbit
Natalie Russell teaches print-making and illustration at
Dundee University. She lives in Broughty Ferry, Scotland.

The sixth installment in this popular easy-to-

Cork—and the baby porcupine—to the rescue.

When Harry goes stir-crazy, there’s trouble
ahead
It’s a horrible day for Harry: a classmate is calling him names; his li-
brary book is overdue; he’s last in line for a turn to be the Room
3B VIP. Worst of all, it’s cold and icy outside again, which means no
outdoor recess. It’s all too much for Harry—he starts to go cuckoo!
Fortunately, there is a solution to Harry’s problems . . . but it comes
from a very unexpected source.

In this delightful role-reversal story, all the serious
little boy wants is to settle down quietly and read
his book. But that’s not so easy when there’s an
imaginative tiger with an excess of energy behind
the couch, wanting attention and someone to play
with. Repetitive refrains and sound effects make
this a perfect read-aloud, and the sweet and cozy
ending will delight the heart of any book-lover.

How do you know when you’ve
crossed the line between curiosity
and obsession?
Carly never meant to become a stalker. She just
wanted to find out who Brian started dating after
he dumped her. But a little harmless online research
turns into a quick glance, and that turns into an af-
ternoon of watching. Soon Carly is putting all of her
energy into following Brian’s new girlfriend—all of
the sadness she feels about her mom’s recent break-
up, all of the anger she feels over being pushed
aside by her dad while he prepares for his new wife’s
new baby. When Carly’s stalking is discovered in the
worst possible way by the worst possible person, she
is forced to acknowledge her problem and the un-
derlying issues that led to it.

The perfect book for celebrating
every child’s accomplishments
Every stage in growing up has its own fun and
challenges, and the adorable star of this book
faces each one with gusto. As a baby, there’s the
taste-everything phase—whether it is meant to
be eaten—or not! And as a toddler, there’s the
question-everything phase. But all the while baby is
growing up and becoming a curious kid whose ex-
ploration of the world leads to amazing places and
discoveries. He’s come so far and learned so much,
and now everyone is so proud of him!
This celebration of curiosity and creativity, with its
funny, joyful illustrations full of kid-friendly details,
is a great gift for any major milestone.

by Fiona Roberton
A heartwarming tale about
friendship by an exciting new
voice in children’s books
Henry wants a dog more than anything in the
world—more than a cowboy costume, even more
than an all-expenses-paid trip to the moon. So he
puts an ad in the newspaper to find the perfect pet.
Far away, a lonely duck who desperately wants a
friend reads the ad. He has the clever idea to disguise
himself as a dog and apply for the job of Henry’s best
friend. But his cover is quickly blown when he isn’t
very good at catching balls and his floppy ears and
tail fall off. Henry is disappointed for a moment, until
he thinks of all the amazing things this duck CAN do,
and realizes he’s found the perfect pet after all.
Fiona Roberton’s irresistible illustrations and utterly
charming characters will win the hearts of readers of
all ages.
Fiona Roberton is a graphic designer. This is her rst
picture book published in the United States.

George is an ape—not a monkey—and he is
perfectly happy living his simple life in the jungle,
until one day the man in the funny hat kidnaps him
and brings him to the big city. Poor George! Forced
to live in a cage at the zoo, then work hard manual
labor and be mocked on stage—George has every
reason to be upset. In fact, after all the maltreat-
ment, he’s downright furious! So it’s a good thing
George is one clever ape. Perhaps getting mad is not
the only answer. Readers will laugh out loud when
George comes up with a way to outsmart the man
in the funny hat.

A brand-new middle grade
series, perfect for fans of Lauren
Myracle and Judy Blume!
Sixth grade is hard enough for Lucy B. Parker, but
it gets so much worse when her mom announces
that she’s going to marry Laurel Moses’s dad. Yes,
that Laurel Moses—the TV-movie-music star who
makes Hannah Montana look like some random kid
from the sticks. Suddenly, Lucy’s life is turned up-
side down and sideways. All Lucy wants to do is get
through the day without totally embarrassing her-
self too much, but that’s hard to do when you’re the
less-pretty, less-talented not-quite-sister of a mega
superstar.
Robin Palmer (www.robinpalmeronline.com) grew up in
Massachusetts and New Jersey. She moved to Los Angeles
where she worked as an assistant in the television literary
department of the William Morris Agency before quick-
ly moving up the ranks, and spending the next decade
as a literary agent, producer, and television network
executive at Lifetime Television, where she developed over
one hundred scripts and oversaw the production of over
thirty of the cable network’s original movies. In 2001, she
decided to give the writing thing a try. Since then, she’s
written everything from screenplays to essays to a novel to
a preschool guide. She currently resides in New York City.

Introducing Princess Posey!
Posey is really nervous about starting first grade.
Instead of getting walked to her classroom, her mom
has to drop her off at the Kiss-and-Go Lane. Then
she’ll have to walk into school and face the Monster
of the Blue Hall all by herself. Worst of all, she has to
do it without the one thing that always makes her
feel brave and special: the tutu that turns her into
the Pink Princess. But when Posey inspires her new
teacher to throw a first-day parade in which all the
kids are invited to wear whatever makes them feel
the most comfortable, first grade starts to look a lot
more promising.
Posey will charm readers just graduating from
easy-to-reads (and from kindergarten) in this lively
new series.

Set sail on a swashbuckling
adventure set during the
Napoleonic Wars!
Illustrated in comic-book format with detailed
informational sidebars, this high-concept hybrid is a
fast-paced action-adventure—like a Patrick O’Brian
novel for kids!
Jack Hoyton is just a boy when he enlists in the
Royal Navy and is assigned to the HMS Defender,
a midsized frigate defending the British Isles from
invasion by the French emperor Napoleon. Little
could have prepared him for the hard work and
danger of life on the high seas, or for the strict
military discipline aboard the ship during war-
time. While blockading a French port, the crew
of the Defender gets into more trouble than
they planned for when they are betrayed during
an excursion ashore. It is up to Jack to free his
imprisoned shipmates and warn the Defender that
they are headed into a deadly trap!

Marking the 150th anniversary of
the creation of the Pony Express
When the Pony Express came along, it cut the time
it took to send a letter across the country in half.
But only a year and a half later, with the arrival of
transcontinental telegraph lines, it was put right
out of business.
Along with a family’s story told through cross-
country letters, Verla Kay uses her trademark short,
rhythmic verse to pack in loads of information
about how the Pony Express came to be and why
it didn’t last. And Barry and Kim Root’s gorgeous
illustrations help bring this fascinating, fleeting bit
of history to new life.
Verla Kay (www.verlakay.com) is the author of many
acclaimed historical books for children. She lives in Tekoa,
Washington.
Barry and Kimberly Root live with their children in Pennsyl-
vania. Illustrators of highly praised picture books separately,
this is their first book together.

A riveting tale of how a
resourceful teen survives and
even finds romance in a plausible
future world where no one is as
they seem
The year is 2041, and sixteen-year-old Molly McClure
has lived a relatively quiet life on an isolated farming
island in Canada, but when her family fears the worst
may have happened to her grandparents in the US,
Molly must brave the dangerous, chaotic world left
after global economic collapse—one of massive oil
shortages, rampant crime, and abandoned cities.
Molly is relieved to find her grandparents alive
in their Portland suburb, but they’re financially
ruined and practically starving. What should’ve been
a quick trip turns into a full-fledged rescue mission.
And when Molly witnesses something the local crime
bosses wishes she hadn’t, Molly’s only way home may
be to beat them at their own game. Luckily, there’s a
handsome stranger who’s willing to help.
Restoring Harmony is a riveting, fast-paced dystopian
tale complete with adventure and romance that read-
ers will devour.

Advance Praise for Restoring Harmony:
“Restoring Harmony is a sweeping adventure
about a determined girl fighting to bring her
family together in a broken world. Armed
with only a fiddle and a keen sense of the
land, Molly is the best kind of heroine—smart,
feisty and courageous. Anthony writes with
tenderness and imbues her story with hope.
This is a coming-of-age journey at its best.
Anthony is a welcome new voice in teen lit.”

What if you found out that the
world’s most famous pop star
was actually your sister?
Her whole life, Alexia Garcia has been told that she
looks just like pop star Kari Kingsley, and one day
when Alexia’s photo filters through the Internet,
she’s offered a job to be Kari’s double. This would
seem like the opportunity of a lifetime, but Alexia’s
mother has always warned her against celebrities.
Rebelliously, Alexia flies off to L.A. and gets
immersed in a celebrity life. Not only does she have
to get used to getting anything she wants, she
romances the hottest lead singer on the charts,
and finds out that her own father is a singing leg-
end. Through it all, Alexia must stay true to her-
self, which is hard to do when you are pretending
to be somebody else!
“This screwball comedy-cum-heartfelt drama is
by turns far-fetched, enjoyable, and touching.”

The touching story of a little pig
and his dachshund foster mom
Pink was the runt of the pig litter. He was so small
that the Kerby family didn’t think he would survive–
so they brought him into the house where he met
Tink, a new dachshund mom. When Tink saw Pink,
she immediately adopted him into her family, and
helped nurse him back to health. Pink thrived in
his new family: the puppies didn’t mind that Pink
looked nothing like them—he was just their size.
This remarkable story has already garnered a great
deal of media attention: the irresistible photo-
graphs documenting Pink and Tink’s relationship
have appeared on Good Morning America and
The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Readers of all ages will
be captivated by these adorable animals and the
amazing bond that they share.
Johanna Kerby lives on a small farm in West Virginia with
her husband and four children. She considers herself to
be a “pig farmer,” raising pigs with her family for 4-H and
FFA projects.

Picky eaters have never been so
entertaining
The rain forest is lush with delicious things to eat,
but it’s also full of terribly picky eaters! Mangoes are
too sweet for the baby iguana, bananas are just too
yellow for monito (little monkey), and little quet-
zal can’t take even one more squishy avocado. Then
fed-up Mamá Macaw has an idea that brings all the
kids together to share a meal, and everyone finds
exciting new foods to try. And what could be more
fun than sharing a feast with friends?
This bright and funny bilingual picture book will
delight finicky kids and the parents who do their
best to feed them.

“[S]tandout YA spy novel . . . with

type adventure, this will be a
sure-fire hit.”—Publishers Weekly
review for Sure Fire
After saving the President’s life in the Middle East,
the Chance family is invited to a banquet at the
White House. Teen twins Rich and Jade are ready
to relax, but even in the safest house in the United
States, they can’t avoid danger: a radical American
group takes the West Wing hostage to steal the
U.S.’s nuclear launch codes and attack China. It’s a
race through the halls of the White House as Rich
and Jade fight to keep the President and the launch
codes hidden from the terrorists.
Higgins’ action-packed adventure series featuring
two regular teens comes to a close in this exhilarat-
ing thriller. Set in Washington D.C., the fast-paced
narrative gives readers a captivating behind-the-
scenes glimpse into America’s capital.
Jack Higgins has more than 250 million copies of
his books in print. His bestselling titles include the
classic thriller The Eagle Has Landed. Justin Richards
(www.invisible-detective.com) is the author of the Invisible
Detective series. They both live in the United Kingdom.
Praise for Jack Higgins’ young adult adventures:
“[Readers] will be sucked in and taken on a roller-
coaster ride . . . teens who are enjoying Anthony
Horowitz’s and Ally Carter’s books will get a kick
out of Jade and Rich as well.”—School Library
Journal review for Death Run

A moody tale of romance set in
the turbulent aftermath of the
tsunami
Still haunted by nightmares of her mother’s death,
fifteen-year-old Sienna Jones reluctantly travels
to Indonesia with her father’s relief team to help
tsunami orphans with their post traumatic stress
disorder—something Sienna knows a lot about.
Since her mother’s plane went missing over the
Indian Ocean three years before, Sienna doesn’t do
anything if it involves the ocean or planes, so this trip
is a big step forward.
But the last thing she expects is to fall for Deni, a
brooding Indonesian boy who lives at the orphanage,
and just so happens to be HOT. When Deni hears a
rumor that his father may be alive, Sienna doesn’t
think twice about running away with him to the
epicenter of the disaster. Unfortunately, what they
find there could break both their hearts.
A compelling summer romance, Sea marks the
arrival of a stunning new voice in YA.

A Newbery Honor winner
celebrates its 10th anniversary
Readers fell in love with teenage waitress Hope
Yancey when Joan Bauer’s Newbery Honor–winning
novel was published ten years ago. Now, with a ter-
rific new jacket and note from the author, Hope’s
story will inspire a new group of teen readers.
Praise for Hope Was Here:
H“When it comes to creating strong, independent,
and funny teenaged female characters, Bauer is in
a class by herself. . . . Bauer tells a fast-paced, multi-
layered story with humor but does not gloss over the
struggle[s].”—School Library Journal, starred review
“Bauer has succeeded in creating another quirky,
poignant, and funny novel about a strong girl
who admits her frailties. . . . Hope’s story is highly
recommended for both middle and high school
students.”—VOYA
“Another entry in Bauer’s growing collection of books
about likable and appealing female teenagers with
a strong vocational calling. . . . As always from
Bauer, this novel is full of humor, starring a strong
and idealistic protagonist, packed with funny lines,
and peopled with interesting and quirky characters.”
—Kirkus Reviews
Joan Bauer (www.joanbauer.com) is the critically acclaimed
author of numerous young adult novels, including Rules of
the Road (recipient of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize), Best
Foot Forward and Peeled. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

What if fairy-tale magic really
existed?
Elizabeth has a new job at an unusual library—
a lending library of objects, not books. In a secret
room in the basement lies the Grimm Collection.
That’s where the librarians lock away powerful
items straight out of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales:
seven-league boots, a table that produces a feast
at the blink of an eye, Snow White’s stepmother’s
sinister mirror that talks in riddles.
When the magical objects start to disappear, Eliza-
beth embarks on a dangerous quest to catch the
thief before she can be accused of the crime—or
captured by the thief.
Polly Shulman has created a contemporary fantasy
with a fascinating setting and premise, starring an
ordinary girl whose after-school job is far from ordi-
nary—and leads to a world of excitement, romance
and magical intrigue.
Polly Shulman (www.pollyshulman.com), who also wrote
Enthusiasm, has written about books, infinity, circuses, and
jellyfish for The New York Times, Discover, Salon, and many
others. She lives in New York City, where she collects Victo-
rian jewelry made of human hair.

from Eric Hill:
It’s time for bed, but Spot just isn’t tired yet, so he pretends to be a pirate king and a cowboy. What a
commotion! Mom comes in to check and finds Spot fast asleep, exhausted from his adventures. This is
a perfect bedtime story, full of imagination.
Eric Hill (www.funwithspot.com) left school when he was fifteen and took up cartooning while working as a
messenger at an art studio. He created Where’s Spot as a bedtime story for his two year-old son. It was published
four years later, and the rest is history. Eric Hill now lives in France.
Join Spot and his friends in a game of hide-and-seek. They hide, but each time Spot gets close, their
giggles give them away! Once everyone has been found, they decide that maybe the game should
be called “hide and giggle.” Here’s a fun story about every child’s favorite game that will have them
laughing along with Spot.

The Countless Ways We
Use Numbers Every Day
JAMIE BUCHAN
Decode the origins of numerical expressions,
explore the role of numbers in novels, film,
cultures, and religion, and get to the root of
math and science terms and theories.
Have you ever wondered what makes “seventh heaven” and
“cloud nine” so blissful and the number 13 so unlucky? Or why
“fourth-dimensional” thinking is really out of this world?
Inside Easy as Pi, you’ll find the “4-1-1” on:
Numbers in Language:• “The
Whole Nine Yards” on the
origins of words and phrases
that contain numbers
Numbers in Fiction:• Why Ray Bradbury named his
novel Fahrenheit 451 and “007” became James
Bond’s number
Numbers in Culture:• The story behind the most
widely stolen social security number and how “555”
became the fake area code of Hollywood
Numbers in Mythology and Religion:• Chinese lucky
numbers and the traditional Western zodiac
Numbers in Math and Science:• A fun review of
the terms you learned in school, along with easy
(and fascinating) explanations of Roman Numerals,
square roots, sound waves, statistics, game theory,
binaries, and more

Meet
Q:WhyisyourbookcalledYOURSTRULY,LUCYB.PARKER?
A: Because I sent a lot of e-mails to Dr. Maude, the famous advice-giver
who has that television show called Come on, People−Grow Up Already!
She hasn’t written me back yet because she’s really busy, but I know that
at some point she will and she’ll give me the perfect advice about how
to deal with moving and all this family stuff and Laurel Moses and how
to handle a mother who keeps nagging you to get a bra. So I sign each
e-mail Yours truly, Lucy B. Parker 1) because it’s the polite way to do it
and 2) because my name is Lucy B. Parker.
Q:IsyourmomreallydatingteensuperstarLaurelMoses’sfather?!
A: Um, she’s not just dating him−she’s going to marry him. And do you
know where she told me? In the middle of Barbara’s Bra World!!! Does
my mother not realize that that will forever be considered the worst day
of my entire life? Having to get a bra and find out that she was ruining
my life by making me leave Northampton, Massachusetts, where I’ve
lived forever, and move to New York City??
Q:Onelastquestion:whatadvicewouldyougivegirlswhomightbe
dealingwiththekindofstuffyou’redealingwith?
A: That’s easy. 1) Just because you’re coordination –challenged and
your stepsister is pretty and the most popular girl in the entire world
doesn’t mean you’re a loser; 2) If you’re going to use a straightening
iron on your hair, only leave it on for like a minute or so instead of like
a half hour; 3) remember to bring a maxipad with you wherever you
go because you never know when you might get your period. 4) Just be
yourself because my friend Pete’s right, it gives you a lot more energy,
which is good because that means you can stay up a lot later at night
reading under the covers with a flashlight.

Sixth grade is hard enough for Lucy B. Parker, but
it gets so much worse when her mom announces
that she’s going to marry Laurel Moses’s dad. Yes,
that Laurel Moses—the TV-movie-music star who
makes Hannah Montana look like some random
kid from the sticks. Suddenly, Lucy’s life is turned
upside down and sideways. All Lucy wants to do
is get through the day without totally embarrass-
ing herself too much, but that’s hard to do when
you’re the less-pretty, less-talented not-quite-
sister of a mega superstar.

lledmiddle-gradeadventure!
When a local potato chip tycoon invites area kids to
an all-day puzzle hunt, Winston Breen is psyched.
But it turns out the day is not all fun and games.
Their teacher is being overly competitive, the puz-
zles are hard (even for Winston), and someone
in the contest is playing dirty in order to win the
fifty-thousand-dollar grand prize! Trying to stop the
mystery cheater before it’s too late takes an already
tough challenge to a whole new level. . . .
“The joy for both contestants and readers of this
brain-teasing mystery will be in the process.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Berlin refreshes traditional themes, including the
importance of good sportsmanship, with oodles of
mind-bogglers for readers’ enjoyment.”

When Newt Newman’s football-star brother, Chris,
is knocked into a coma during the biggest game of
the season, Newt’s two best friends keep his mind
off of the accident by helping him create the ulti-
mate Halloween costume: Captain Nobody. Newt
feels strong and confident in his new getup, so he
keeps wearing it after Halloween is over. Soon Newt
assumes the role of a hero in a string of exploits that
include foiling a robbery and saving a planeload of
passengers. But will Captain Nobody be able to save
the one person he cares about most?

Gods of Manhattan
Rory has known about Mannahatta—the spirit
world filled with the “gods” who ruled New York
City in its early days—only a month when an earth-
quake strikes. This is no ordinary earthquake,
though—it is the island’s attempt at breaking the
Trap around Central Park. The Trap must open or
the balance between Mannahatta and Manhattan
will be destroyed—and only Rory can open it. But
it will take help from Rory’s newfound friends, in-
cluding the band of children of the gods—aka the
Rattle Watch—and encounters with some of New
York’s famous figures, including Washington Irving,
Captain Kidd, and Bill the Butcher, to help him fig-
ure out how to do that. And the answer may just
surprise him. . . .
“An interesting new take on mythology in New York
. . . a fast, exciting read.”—Rick Riordan, author of
the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, on Gods
of Manhattan
Scott Mebus (www.scottmebus.com,
www.godsofmanhattan.com) lives in Manhattan.

Emma-JeanLazarus
The endearing, if not quirky, Emma-Jean Lazarus is
back in the companion to Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell
Out of a Tree. When Emma-Jean thinks about asking
Will Keeler to the Spring Fling dance, she gets a flut-
tering feeling in her heart. What would someone
like Will say to someone like Emma-Jean? After all,
Emma-Jean is a little…different. Meanwhile, Emma-
Jean’s best friend, Colleen, has a secret admirer. With
the Spring Fling just days away, she asks Emma-Jean
to figure out who he is so maybe then Colleen could
ask him to the dance. It’s a perfect plan. But what
Emma-Jean discovers could have consequences for
everyone….
H “Tarshis proves she ‘gets’ adolescent female
friendships (not to mention seventh grade) in this
funny and empathetic follow-up to Emma-Jean

Henry loves show-and-tell, because he can tell the
class about his neighbor’s pet dinosaur, the snow-

that landed in his yard. But when his classmates start
asking questions—and call him a fibber—Henry has
to find a new outlet for his stories.

First the Earth’s champions, old and new, returned
to a world that thought the era of superheroes had
come to a close. Then an age-old conflict of good
versus evil, heroes versus villains, was renewed. And
now it all comes down to one battle—the battle to
end all battles. And if Quantum’s prophecy proves
true, it could just mean the end of the world as we
know it. The new heroes’ powers are getting stron-
ger, and they’re still learning how to harness them.
But when one of their own turns her ability to con-
trol minds against the rest, they face something
much larger than themselves, and the fate of the
world hangs in the balance.
“Adventure lovers won’t be able to resist the
strong plot and cliff-hanger style narrative.”

have given anything to see the end of Groosham
Grange and its ghastly teachers. Now he’s on track
to win the Unholy Grail, a cup of magical power re-
warded to the star student. But a series of suspicious
mishaps is closing the gap between David and the
new boy, Vincent. It seems as though someone—or
some thing—doesn’t want David to win the cup and
may even be threatening Groosham Grange’s very
existence!

Emma McGraw’s third-grade class is getting ready
for Winter Games Day, and Emma wants to win a

planned, but Emma is still determined to be as ex-
cellent as she can be.

herself caught up in both a museum haunting and a
real case of espionage. While investigating a ceme-

of investigating the supernatural; she’s involved in
an urgent matter of national security and faces her
most serious challenge yet.

“Colasanti ably captures the teenage voice through

will speak to teen readers . . . The different threads are
. . . satisfying, with a mix of self-discovery, self-deprecation,
humor, and teenage angst.” —VOYA

It’s sophomore year, and Marisa is ready for a fresh
start and, hopefully, her first real boyfriend. But af-
ter popular Derek asks her out, things get compli-
cated. Not only do her parents unexpectedly sepa-
rate, but Marisa has a fight with her best friend,
and Derek—the love of her life—delivers a shocking
disappointment. The only things keeping Marisa
together are the podcasts from the anonymous DJ,
who seems to totally understand Marisa. But she
doesn’t know who he is . . . or maybe she does.

and convince the celebrity to come home with her.
On a seemingly impossible adventure that includes

snake, Annika learns a few lessons about family,
love, and having her own wishes granted.

Sixteen-year-old Maggie Bennet’s life is in tatters.
Her mother has disappeared, and is presumed dead.
The next thing she knows, her father has dragged
Maggie away from their elegant Newport home,
off on some mad excursion to Yellowstone in Mon-
tana. Torn from the only life she’s ever known, away
from her friends, from society, and verging on no
prospects, Maggie is furious and devastated by her
father’s betrayal. But when she arrives, she finds her-
self drawn to the frustratingly stubborn, handsome
Tom Rowland, the son of a park geologist, and to the
wild romantic beauty of Yellowstone itself. And as
Tom and the promise of freedom capture Maggie’s
heart, Maggie is forced to choose between who she
is and who she wants to be.
Janet Fox is a full-time resident of College Station, Texas, and
a part-time resident of Montana (just outside of Yellowstone
National Park).

Nerves. Carly is ready to ditch the southern prin-
cess act and become real. The thing is, she’s always
counted on her little sister, Anna, to love and support

turns “hot” over the course of a single summer, ev-
erything goes weird. Suddenly Anna’s swimming in

Nobody knows the city like Blade. He lives on his
own, by his wits—you have to when you’re on the
run from your past. Blade is practically invisible,
until one day when he gets jumped by a gang and
finds himself being pursued by a bunch of thugs.
Even worse, he’s unintentionally picked up a couple
of followers: sixteen-year-old Becky and her daugh-
ter, Jaz. Before he knows it, Blade is leading the two
girls on a chase through the streets of London, and
he’ll need to find a way to outsmart the people af-
ter them in order to make it out alive.
“An addictive blend of paranoia and suspense.”

Jake King is a full-fledged adrenaline junkie. He’ll
jump off of a waterfall, ride his bike down the side
of a mountain, rock climb without harnesses…any-
thing to feel the rush. Besides his best friend and
secret love of his life, the beautiful Salome Lee,
getting his adrenaline pumping is the only thing
that clears his head. So when he’s offered a spot
on a hotshot crew of firefighters who rappel into
wildfires, it’s the perfect opportunity. Never mind
that the crew members call themselves the Immor-
tals, and that they have a habit of dying young.
Salome knows there’s more to the crew’s mortality
rate than bad luck, and to save Jake, she puts their
friendship—and their unspoken romance—on the
line. But to Jake, firefighting is like breathing pure
adrenaline. And if he doesn’t stop soon, they could
all get burned. . . .

Silvia’s brother, Eduardo, has Disappeared, and she
won’t stop fighting until she finds him. Norberto, the
general’s son, is just foolish enough to help. He’ll fall
in love with her, and then he’ll ask his father to set
Eduardo free. At least that’s the premise on which
Silvia bases her scheme. In chapters alternating be-
tween Silvia’s and Eduardo’s perspectives, acclaimed
author Gloria Whelan gives voice to the families
who struggled to survive in 1970s Argentina—and
to the many who still, today, remain Disappeared.
“Their compelling tale is a chilling account of the

Through the lens of Kelly Link’s vivid imagination,
nothing is what it seems, and everything deserves
a second look. From the multiple award-winning
“The Faery Handbag,” in which a teenager’s grand-
mother carries an entire village (or is it a man-eating
dog?) in her handbag, to the near-future of “The
Surfer,” whose narrator (a soccer-playing skeptic)
waits with a planeload of refugees for the aliens
to arrive, these ten stories are funny and full of un-
expected insights and skewed perspectives on the
world. Kelly Link’s fans range from Michael Chabon
to Peter Buck of R.E.M. to Holly Black of Spiderwick
Chronicles fame. Now teens can have their world
rocked too!

meets Jackson, who Savannah’s convinced is the
one. At first it looks like she’s right. He abides by her
mama’s strict rules and stays by her side when she
is hospitalized for severe asthma, which Savannah
believes is improving only because Jackson is there.
But when Jackson is called away to help his family,
Savannah has to learn to breathe on her own, both

Noah and his friends go to a predominantly all-white
neighborhood with a plan: steal a car, sell it to a
chop shop, and make some fast cash. But that never
happens. Instead, Noah, a teen father, becomes the
victim of a vicious beating that leaves him with a
fractured skull. The question is, was the attacker
protecting his turf, or did he target Noah just be-
cause he’s black?

whenyou’rehalf-human,half-
vampire
It’s another awful year at Bathory High for Vladi-
mir Tod. The evil vampire D’Ablo is hunting for the
ritual that could steal Vlad’s powers. His best friend
doesn’t want to be his drudge anymore. And it’s
getting harder for Vlad to resist feeding on the peo-
ple around him. When months go by with no word
from Uncle Otis, and D’Ablo shows up demanding
Vlad’s father’s journal, Vlad realizes that having a
normal high school year is the least of his concerns.
Vlad needs to act fast, and even his status as the
Pravus won’t save him this time.
“This book will be highly anticipated by fans of the
teen vampire genre.” —VOYA

Eleventh grade at Bathory High is draining Vladimir
Tod. Joss, a professional vampire slayer and Vlad’s
former friend, has moved back to town. The power-
ful vampire Dorian has an overwhelming desire to
drink Vlad’s blood. And his arch enemy, D’Ablo, has
brought Vlad’s Uncle Otis to trial for crimes against
vampires. So much for dating. When the tables
turn on Vlad, he has just enough time to return to
Bathory for his final good-byes . . .
Heather Brewer (www.heatherbrewer.com) doesn’t be-
lieve in happy endings—unless they involve blood. She
lives in St. Louis, Missouri.

Thirteen-year-old Savvy’s three-point shot is deadly.
But she gets pushed around on the basketball court.
Her older sister, Callie, is on varsity cheerleading,
but she’s not light enough to be a flier—her cov-
eted position. Both girls need to boost their level of
competition to get into the action. How far are they
willing to go to be the best?
H “Readers will come away with a better under-
standing of the controversy surrounding steroid
use, and with an appreciation for a talented voice
in young adult literature.”

Everyone thinks they know the real story behind
the villains in fairy tales—but the villains themselves
beg to differ. In Troll’s-Eye View, you’ll hear from
the Giant’s wife (“Jack and the Beanstalk”), Rum-
pelstiltskin, the oldest of the Twelve Dancing Prin-
cesses, and many more. A stellar lineup of authors,
including Garth Nix, Jane Yolen, and Nancy Farmer,
makes sure that these old stories do new tricks!

have to say?”
.
I answered it, anyway. “She wants you to
call her.”
My dad folded his arms across his chest.
“Yeah, she probably wants us to have a good
long talk about the Cambridge Magazine trip
and your curious hands.”
“That was a long time ago. My hands are
really different now!”
“Birdy, it was three weeks ago!”
“But I know better now! I won’t touch
anybody’s desk. I promise.”

Will Angel ever gain control of
her powers?
All Angel wanted was to help poor nerdy Max break
into the popular crowd. But somehow the wires got
crossed and she ended up granting all of Gabi’s
secret desires instead. Not that Angel has any-
thing against Gabi getting what she wants. It’s just
that the things Gabi dreams about on the QT—
1) starring in a reality TV show with Angel at her side
and 2) dating Angel’s boyfriend, Cole—just happen
to be the stuff of Angel’s worst nightmares.

The first day at a new school is always the hardest, right? No, not always as George finds out the hard
way. On the second day at . . . Sugarman Elementary School, he is suddenly seized by uncontrollable
burps, burps so loud they practically break the sound barrier, burps that make him do wild and crazy
stuff and land him in trouble with a capital T. One thing is for sure: these are not normal burps, they
are magic burps – and they must be stopped! But how?

Edward Macleod was just an ordinary boy . . . until the day he

a
being who guides souls in the Afterlife. Now the forces
of good
and evil are after him. But which one will get to him first?
With the fate of his mother and the entire Afterlife hanging
in the balance, Edward Macleod must turn to the last person

But there’s more to Mr. Spines than meets the eye, and what
Edward learns might surprise him.
Edward Macleod has accepted who he is, and learned to use
his wings. But when encounter with the Jackal’s minions results
in tragedy, everything he has worked for is threatened. Can

After challenging a dragon, rescuing a princess, and saving a kingdom,
Shrek finds himself a domesticated family man. Longing to be a “real
ogre,” Shrek signs a magical contract with Rumpelstiltskin. Suddenly,
he finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where
ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king, and Shrek and Fiona have

one true love.

Little Miss Splendid loves nothing more than Little Miss Splendid. She thinks she’s too good to talk to
“common” people, and definitely too good to ride a bus with them! But one day a rain cloud puts a
wrench in her splendid life . . .

Little Miss Scary is on a monster hunt, but what will she find?
And could any of the monsters possibly be scarier than Little Miss
Scary herself? It’s not likely! Kids will love lifting oversized flaps to
reveal the hidden monsters. A final pop-up makes this book truly
scare-tastic!

Howwouldyoudealwithavampire?
Yikes! A vampire is coming to dinner! (He invited himself!) I’d better
make a list of rules to follow!
Read along as the narrator of this story comes up with some very
practical rules for dealing with a vampire. But rules are meant to be
broken, aren’t they? From feeding the vampire garlic to filling the
house with mirrors, the narrator is doing just that! With ten full-page
gatefolds and a pop at the end of the book, kids will love seeing
which rules are being followed and which aren’t!

Many marvelous monsters show off their special
skills in a wacky talent show! Purple Pete proudly
performs puppet plays in a plaid pullover, Swarly
the squishy slug softly sings some silly songs, and
the rest of the monstrous
crew can do many, many
more monstrously miraculous
things. The silly (not
scary!) monsters and their tongue-twisting talents
will have kids and their parents laughing through
each act!

Dutton
They call him Cale.
He is destined to save the world…
…or destroy it.
Introducing a debut novel of astonishing scope
and imagination, featuring a darkly gifted teenage
boy at the center of a brutal holy war
“Listen. The Sanctuary of the Redeemers on Shotover Scarp is
named after a damned lie, for there is little redemption that
goes on there and less sanctuary.”
With that opening line, Paul Hoffman grabs the reader
refuses to let go. The Left Hand of God is the first novel in
an epic, ambitious trilogy that will prove irresistible to the
readers who have turned the Inheritance Cycle, Twilight, and
His Dark Materials series into publishing phenomena.
The Left Hand of God is the story of sixteen-year-old Thomas
Cale, who has grown up imprisoned at the Sanctuary of the
Redeemers, a fortress run by a secretive sect of warrior monks
in a distant, dystopian past. He is one of thousands of boys
who train all day in hand-to-hand combat, in preparation for
a holy war that only the High Priests know is now imminent.
He has no reason to think he’s special, no idea there’s another
world outside the compound’s walls, and no hope for a life
any different from the one he already knows.
And then, Cale opens a door.
What follows is a daring escape, an unlikely alliance, a
desperate pursuit, a journey of incredible discovery, and an
adventure the likes of which Cale could never possibly have
imagined, culminating in Cale’s astonishing realization that
he alone has the power to save his world—or to destroy it.
Paul Hoffman lives in London. The Left Hand of God is his North
American debut.
The Left Hand of God• is an international sensation.
The first book in Hoffman’s trilogy is scheduled to
be published in twenty languages in 2010.

Dutton
One of the most popular writers of paranormal
fiction and #1 New York Times bestselling author of
the young adult Darkest Powers series makes her
debut on the Dutton list, with the new novel in her
New York Times bestselling Otherworld series
At twenty-one, Savannah Levine—orphaned daughter of
a notorious dark witch and an equally notorious cutthroat
sorcerer—considers herself a full-fledged member of the
otherworld. The once rebellious teen has grown into a six-
foot-tall, motorcycle-riding jawdropper, with an impressive
knowledge of and ability to perform spells. The only problem
is, she’s having a hard time convincing her adoptive parents,
Paige and Lucas, to take her seriously as an adult. She’s
working as the research assistant at the detective agency
they founded, and when they take off on a romantic vacation
alone leaving her in charge, Savannah finds herself itching
for a case to call her own. (She’s also itching for Adam, her
longtime friend and colleague, to see her as more than just a
little girl, but that’s another matter.)
Suddenly, Savannah gets the chance she’s been waiting
for: Recruited by another supernatural detective, she
travels to Columbus, Washington a small, dying town. Two
troubled young women have been found in an abandoned
warehouse, murdered. Now a third woman is dead, and on
closer inspection, small details point to a darker forces at play.
Savannah feels certain she can handle the case, but with
signs of supernatural activity appearing at every turn, things
quickly become more serious—and far more dangerous—
than she realizes.

sweet love story, and suggests that being a wolf may be more
comfortable for a strong smart woman than being a human.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Bitten…did much the same thing for werewolves that Ann
Rice did for vampires in her Interview with the Vampire.”
—Rocky Mountain News

The phenomenal bestseller is also a teen favorite!
Segregation and the civil rights movement may have
happened in the 1960s—but Kathryn Stockett’s novel makes
them come alive in a way history books can’t. Twenty-two-
year-old Skeeter isn’t like her friends: she’s not married, she
wants to be a writer, and she wants to write about the one
thing no white person in Jackson Mississippi ever wants to
talk about—how the black maids are treated. She also wants
to know what happened to her own beloved maid who
disappeared without a trace. Skeeter starts interviewing her
friends’ maids, regal Aibileen, and tough talking Minnie—
and discovers that while she may have gone to college, she
doesn’t know anything about the real world.
“The best book ever.” —Katy Perry, pop singer
“Wise, poignant .. .You’ll catch yourself cheering out loud.”
—People magazine
“One of the best debuts of the year.” —USA Today
Kathryn Stockett was born and raised in Jackson,
Mississippi. After graduating from the University
of Alabama with a degree in English and creative
writing, she moved to New York City, where she
worked in magazine publishing and marketing for
nine years. She currently lives in Atlanta with her
husband and daughter. The Help is her first novel.

In the bestselling tradition of Loving Frank
and March comes a novel for anyone who
loves Little Women.
Millions of readers have fallen in love with Little Women. But
how could Louisa May Alcott—who never had a romance—
write so convincingly of love and heartbreak without
experiencing it herself?
Deftly mixing fact and fiction, Kelly O’Connor McNees
imagines a love affair that would threaten Louisa’s writing
career—and inspire the story of Jo and Laurie in Little
Women. Stuck in small-town New Hampshire in 1855, Louisa
finds herself torn between a love that takes her by surprise
and her dream of independence as a writer in Boston. The
choice she must make comes with a steep price that she will
pay for the rest of her life.
Kelly O’Connor McNees is a former editorial
assistant and English teacher. Raised in Michigan,
she now resides with her husband in Chicago.

Inspiring stories of dogs who do good.
Anyone who has ever had a relationship with a dog will tell you: They want nothing more than to give
love and be loved in return. In Every Dog Has a Gift, Rachel McPherson draws on her experience as
the founder and executive director of The Good Dog Foundation, the largest animal-assisted therapy
organization on the East Coast, to tell the amazing stories of dogs that bring hope and healing into
our lives.
Much has been said about the heroic roles dogs played following 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina in
providing support and comfort for the families and victims of these terrible tragedies, but the truth
is that millions of dogs around the world are heroes every day. These therapy and service dogs (and
often quite ordinary, “uncertified” dogs just like your own!) can:
serve as the perfect audience for kids who need help with practicing reading; •
hold troubled families together;•
comfort the dying and their loved ones within hospice settings; and•
provide a calm and centering presence for autistic children.•
Every Dog Has a Gift is a celebration of the gift that each and every dog possesses: the ability to bring
the healing power of unconditional love into our lives.
A percentage of the author’s proceeds will benefit The Good Dog Foundation. •
The Good Dog Foundation has been featured on the • Today show, CNN, and PBS and in the
New York Post, Bark magazine, the Daily News, Dog Fancy magazine, and elsewhere.
The Good Dog Foundation was honored on the floor of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog •
Show for its work with Hurricane Katrina survivors and received awards from the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and the American Red Cross for its
work at Ground Zero helping the families and victims of 9/11.
Rachel McPherson is the founder and executive director of The Good Dog Foundation.

A third installment in the delightfully disgusting miscellany series that began with the
national bestseller Why You Shouldn’t Eat Your Boogers and Other Useless or Gross
Information About Your Body.
In the New York Times (extended list) bestseller Why You Shouldn’t Eat Your Boogers and Other
Useless or Gross Information About Your Body, Francesca Gould uncovered everything you’d want
to know —and a few things you’d rather you didn’t—about the human body. In Why Fish Fart and
Other Useless or Gross Information About the World, she scoured planet Earth for a rich assortment
of odd and/or unsavory facts. In Why Dogs Eat Poop and Other Useless or Gross Information About
the Animal Kingdom, Francesca Gould and David Haviland explore a subject positively rife with
gross miscellany: the animal kingdom. Indeed, animals do the darnedest things and, in this vastly
entertaining book, Gould and Haviland uncover a universe of strange, hilarious, and quite often
disgusting animal habits, ailments, and practices, including:
Monkey-Faced Lamb disease, •
farting snakes,•
dino-chickens,•
and a creature you’ve never heard of that eats with its eyes. •
Francesca Gould is the author of the New York Times (extended list) bestseller Why You Shouldn’t
Eat Your Boogers and Other Useless or Gross Information About Your Body and Why Fish Fart and
Other Useless or Gross Information About the World. She lives in Bristol, England.
David Haviland is a journalist, ghostwriter, and editor. He lives in England.

SHOOK-UP WORLD
The New York Times bestselling author of Teach Like Your
Hair’s on Fire shares his proven methods for creating
extraordinary children
Rafe Esquith, the only teacher ever awarded a National Medal of Arts,
translates the inspiring methods from Teach Like Your Hair’s on Fire for
parents. Using lessons framed by a class trip to a Dodgers game, he moves
inning by inning through concepts that explain how to teach children to be
thoughtful and honorable people—and to have fun in the process.
Praise for Rafe Esquith:
“The most interesting and influential classroom teacher in the country.”
—The Washington Post
Rafe Esquith has taught at Hobart Elementary School for twenty-four years. He lives in Los
Angeles, California.
A poignant and fable-like first novel, recently optioned by
acclaimed director Spike Jonze
One closely-knit northeastern American town is experiencing perpetual
February. As children go missing and adults become nearly catatonic with
depression, some find the strength to fight back. Pleasantly surprising in its
sensitivity and wholly unique in its style, Light Boxes marks the debut of a
fantastic and timeless new literary voice.
“We expect a vibrant imagination in our authors, but charm is an underrated
quality, and Jones has both in spades.” —Time Out Chicago
• Originally published by a small press, Light Boxes’s first run sold out
completely with the news that Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich,
Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are) had optioned the film rights

The extraordinary story of one man’s gift of hope to the “untouchable” children
of Uganda
Jackson Kaguri’s is an unusual and inspiring success story. Born in rural Uganda, he overcame
poverty to earn a degree from the national university and eventually made his way to Columbia
University, where he found a calling as a human rights champion. When he returned to Uganda
with his American bride, he was overwhelmed by the swelling numbers of abandoned AIDS
orphans and vowed to open the first tuition-free school for these children. After a series of
obstacles, including a domineering father, corrupt school inspectors, and a lack of supplies, he
and his wife doggedly built one schoolroom after another until they had an accredited primary
school with students dreaming of becoming the future doctors, teachers, lawyers, engineers,
and even presidents of Uganda. The Price of Stones is the stirring story behind the Nyaka AIDS
Orphans School. Weaving together tales from his youth with the remarkable challenges and
triumphs of the school, Kaguri shows how the school is, like the microcredit miracles taking
place in South Asia, a modest idea capable of monumental results. His story will captivate all
readers of Three Cups of Tea and Tracey Kidder’s Strength in What Remains.
Formerly a visiting scholar in Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs,
Twesigye Jackson Kaguri is the associate director of development at Michigan State University
in Lansing, Michigan.
Susan Urbanek Linville is a biologist and writer, and a volunteer at Kaguri’s Nyaka School in
Uganda. She lives in Pennsylvania.

A bestselling journalist documents her daughter’s passage into adolescence as she
attempts to hold on to their relationship
All too often the loving relationship between a little girl and her mother shifts into a bitter
grudge match between teen and parent. Having been estranged from her mother during
her own adolescence, journalist Lauren Kessler is terrified that she will lose her daughter in
the same way. Working to avoid this, Kessler draws on her professional skills and follows her
daughter from the seventh grade to her eighth grade graduation, charting the subtle changes
in their relationship. With the help of a team of experts consisting of teachers, doctors, and
other mothers, Kessler immerses herself in her daughter’s world, exploring the fascinating
foreign culture of today’s teen. As an engaging, informative guide, Kessler puts a personal
slant on a universal struggle, illuminating the mother-daughter dynamic from both sides of the
experience. My Teenage Werewolf is a fascinating chronicle of the most important months of
the most important relationship in a woman’s life.
Lauren Kessler has written five nonfiction books, including Dancing with the Rose: Finding
Life in the Land of Alzheimer’s and the bestsellers Clever Girl and The Happy Bottom Riding
Club. Her work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Los Angeles Times Magazine,
O, The Oprah Magazine, and The Nation. She is the director of the graduate program in literary
nonfiction at the University of Oregon.

Children’s Book Week introduces young people to
new authors and ideas in schools, libraries, homes and
bookstores. Through Children’s Book Week, the Children’s Book Council
encourages young people and their caregivers to discover the complexity
of the world beyond their own experience through books. Special materials
will be available from the Children’s Book Council including posters,
bookmarks, and other items to decorate your walls, promote your events,
and, most importantly, encourage kids to read. Be sure to visit the Children’s
