A Shiloh Christmas
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Simon and Schuster (September 20, 2016)
Summary:
A rescued beagle and his boy owner seek love and understanding for their troubled small town in this holiday companion to
the Newbery Medal–winning Shiloh, from Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.Christmas is coming and Marty and his rescued pup
Shiloh are sure glad about that—for their town is running low on love and understanding and they hope that the joy of the
holiday will bring with it the generosity of spirit that’s so lacking. It’s been a year since Marty Preston rescued Shiloh from
Judd Travers and his cruel ways, and since then, Marty and Shiloh have been inseparable. Anywhere Marty goes, the
beagle’s at his side, and Marty couldn’t be happier about that. Even Judd has been working to improve his reputation. But
just as the townsfolk grow more accepting of Judd, a fire in the woods destroys many homes, including Judd’s, and Judd’s
newly formed reputation. Doubt, blame, and anger spread faster than the flames—flames that are fanned by the new
minister, who seems fonder of fire and brimstone than love and mercy. And why are his daughters so skittish around him?
And what’s happened to Judd’s dogs? With Christmas right around the corner, Marty has a lot of questions, and getting the
right answers might just take a Christmas miracle. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor’s fourth book in the Newbery Award–winning
Shiloh series—following Shiloh, Shiloh Season, and Saving Shiloh—“seamlessly interlaces themes of tolerance,
compassion, and forgiveness…[and] explores the interconnectedness of family members, communities, and the dogs they
love” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

A Traitor Among the Boys
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Random House Children's Books (December 18, 2008)
Summary:
The Hatford boys' New Year's resolution is "the girls can stay . . . but only if they play by our rules." Their mother insists that
they "treat those girls as though they were your sisters." Okay, but somehow the boys' interpretation owes more to sibling
rivalry than to brotherly love. The one weak link is young Peter, who doesn't understand the rivalry, openly likes the girls, and
sees nothing wrong with sitting in their kitchen eating homemade cookies and answering questions about his brothers'
plans. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud at the pranks, the conversations, and one unforgettably embarrassing
moment. The high-flying humor is juxtaposed with the budding affection between Josh and Beth and the way all the children
pull together during a blizzard. The fifth entry in Naylor's refreshing series chronicling the feud between the Hatfords and the
Malloys.

GENERAL PRESS (July 18, 2019)
Summary:
A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal.It was a dark and stormy night—Meg Murry, her small brother
Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of
a most disturbing stranger."Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and
blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a
thing as a tesseract."A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of
the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the
adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular
boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the
government on the tesseract problem.

Summary:
The evil dummy comes to life to tell his own twisted tales and scary stories! Devin and his sister Violet are visiting their
Uncle Jack for the summer. He lives in an old house by the seashore. Jack was a sailor and he has collected strange and
fascinating items from the sea. Exploring a back room, Devin and Violet discover a locked trunk. A pirate's chest. The trunk
is wrapped in old, heavy chains and locked with a huge rusted lock. But they manage to get it open. They lift the lid slowly-
and see that it's filled with antique jack-in-the-boxes. Huh? One box is hidden under the others, covered in dust. It plays an
odd unpleasant song. Up pops a very ugly, mean-looking puppet, an old pirate with a dirty red bandana over his long greasy
hair, scars on his cheeks, and a beard, and one eye missing. "Thanks for letting Sailor Jack out!" he rasps, bouncing on his
spring. Devin and Violet now face new and troubling questions: Will Jack return them to their uncle? Just how much is a
pirate's promise worth?

learn, she became the first African American woman to earn her pilot's license. Whether she was wing-walking, giving a
speech, parachuting, or flying, Coleman inspired people with her bravery and resolve.

Summary:
Eleven-year-old Isabella’s blended family is more divided than ever in this “timely but genuine” (Publishers Weekly) story
about divorce and racial identity from the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Out of My Mind, Sharon
M. Draper.Eleven-year-old Isabella’s parents are divorced, so she has to switch lives every week: One week she’s Isabella
with her dad, his girlfriend Anastasia, and her son Darren living in a fancy house where they are one of the only black
families in the neighborhood. The next week she’s Izzy with her mom and her boyfriend John-Mark in a small, not-so-fancy
house that she loves. Because of this, Isabella has always felt pulled between two worlds. And now that her parents are
divorced, it seems their fights are even worse, and they’re always about HER. Isabella feels completely stuck in the middle,
split and divided between them more than ever. And she is beginning to realize that being split between Mom and Dad
involves more than switching houses, switching nicknames, switching backpacks: it’s also about switching identities. Her
dad is black, her mom is white, and strangers are always commenting: “You’re so exotic!” “You look so unusual.” “But what
are you really?” She knows what they’re really saying: “You don’t look like your parents.” “You’re different.” “What race are
you really?” And when her parents, who both get engaged at the same time, get in their biggest fight ever, Isabella doesn’t
just feel divided, she feels ripped in two. What does it mean to be half white or half black? To belong to half mom and half
dad? And if you’re only seen as half of this and half of that, how can you ever feel whole? It seems like nothing can bring
Isabella’s family together again—until the worst thing happens. Isabella and Darren are stopped by the police. A cell phone
is mistaken for a gun. And shots are fired.

The minute she had opened the trunk, she knew there wasn't anything like hope in it. Just awful musty things, but each one
with a kind of terrible dark halo around it. She picked up that piece of old lace. She saw that stain -- pale, brownish in color.
She knew it was blood. Somebody's blood. There was violence in that trunk, and dark secrets, and she did not want to know
them.Curious about the old homestead where she now lives, Jerry finds an ancient trunk in the basement that contains,
among other things, an old piece of bloodstained lace, some letters, and a battered doll. The objects in the trunk have
stories to tell -- stories about the Spanish Inquisition spanning nearly five hundred years and stories of secrets locked deep
in the bloodlines of Jerry's ancestors.Kathryn Lasky's powerhouse novel is a dramatic historical saga that brings the reader
face-to-face with some of the worst atrocities ever committed against humankind in the name of God. But above all, it is an
unforgettable coming-of-age story about a girl who, in connecting with her own past and faith, is at last able to face her own
demons and liberate not only herself but also future generations of her family from the long chain of suffering and silence.

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Random House Children's Books (October 1, 1995)
Summary:
The Hatford-Malloy feud continues in this fast-paced sequel to The Boys Start the War and The Girls Get Even (both
Delacorte, 1993). Their egos still smarting from the humiliation they suffered on Halloween at the hands of their female
neighbors, the Hatford boys try to frighten them with tales of the abaguchie, a creature of local legend. A funny series of
plans for revenge and retaliation from both sides follows. Ultimately, the children call a truce when they are united by a
common cause-sharing a joke at their parents' expense. Although this title sums up the background of the story clearly, it
relies on the earlier books for characterization. The girls come across as stereotypes-an athlete, a bookworm, and an
aspiring actress-and the boys are virtually indistinguishable from one another. Nevertheless, fans of the previous books will
enjoy this installment.

Charlotte's Web
E. B. White and Kate DiCamillo
Harper Collins (May 15, 1974)
Summary:
Sixty years ago, on October 15, 1952, E.B. White's Charlotte's Web was published. It's gone on to become one of the most
beloved children's books of all time. To celebrate this milestone, the renowned Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo has written
a heartfelt and poignant tribute to the book that is itself a beautiful translation of White's own view of the world—of the joy he
took in the change of seasons, in farm life, in the miracles of life and death, and, in short, the glory of everything. We are
proud to include Kate DiCamillo's foreword in the 60th anniversary editions of this cherished classic. Charlotte's Web is the
story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur—and of Wilbur's dear friend Charlotte A. Cavatica, a
beautiful large grey spider who lived with Wilbur in the barn. With the help of Templeton, the rat who never did anything for
anybody unless there was something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saved the life of
Wilbur, who by this time had grown up to quite a pig. How all this comes about is Mr. White's story. It is a story of the magic
of childhood on the farm. The thousands of children who loved Stuart Little, the heroic little city mouse, will be entranced
with Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, and Fern, the little girl who understood their language. The forty-seven black-and-
white drawings by Garth Williams have all the wonderful detail and warmhearted appeal that children love in his work.
Incomparably matched to E.B. White's marvelous story, they speak to each new generation, softly and irresistibly.

Conservation of the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly in
Australia
Donald P.A. Sands and Tim R. New
Springer Science & Business Media (September 2, 2013)
Summary:
This survey of one the longest insect conservation campaigns in Australia deals with recovery of one of the most iconic
endemic butterflies, the Richmond birdwing, threatened by clearance and fragmentation of subtropical rainforest in eastern
Australia and the spread of an alien larval food-plant. Its conservation has involved many aspects of community
involvement, developed over more than 20 years, and focused on habitat restoration and weed eradication, in conjunction
with conservation of remaining forest fragments. The work has involved the entire historical range of the butterfly, addressed
threats and emphasised landscape connectivity, and has enhanced recovery through extensive plantings of native food
plants. Interest has been maintained through extensive publicity, community education and media activity, and the
programme has provided many lessons for advancing insect conservation practice in the region.

Courage by Darkness
Jeri Massi
Bob Jones University Press (December 1, 1987)
Summary:
Meet the third Derwood: short, nearsighted, and afraid of everything. Jean Derwood's biggest hope is that one day she will
do something brave or heroic and prove that she is not a coward. Chances of heroism seem pretty slim in the quiet town of
Peabody, Wisconsin, but then a letter arrives for the family, inviting them down to Uncle Rufus's farm in Alabama. As Jean
soon learns, the farm is next to an abandoned hunting lodge and no more than a mile from the turning and twisting
passages of Limestone Cave. To make things even more interesting, a stolen jewel called the Winchester Beryl is said to
have been hidden in the area. The police are still combing the mountains for the jewel thieves. Afraid, on the one hand, that
the Lord will not send her an adventure and yet afraid that He will, Jean's first chore is to convince her parents to let her stay
at the farm. Book jacket.

It isn’t that Abby Carson can’t do her schoolwork. She just doesn’t like doing it. And in February a warning letter arrives at
her home. Abby will have to repeat sixth grade—unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking on an extra-
credit project to find a pen pal in a distant country. Seems simple enough. But when Abby’s first letter arrives at a small
school in Afghanistan, the village elders agree that any letters going back to America must be written well. In English. And
the only qualified student is a boy, Sadeed Bayat. Except in this village, it is not proper for a boy to correspond with a girl. So
Sadeed’s younger sister will write the letters. Except she knows hardly any English. So Sadeed must write the letters. For
his sister to sign. But what about the villagers who believe that girls should not be anywhere near a school? And what about
those who believe that any contact with Americans is . . . unhealthy? Not so simple. But as letters flow back and forth—
between the prairies of Illinois and the mountains of central Asia, across cultural and religious divides, through the
minefields of different lifestyles and traditions—a small group of children begin to speak and listen to one another. And in
just a few short weeks, they make important discoveries about their communities, about their world, and most of all, about
themselves.

From Head to Toe
Eric Carle
Hamish Hamilton/Puffin (January 1, 1999)
Summary:
Book Description: What does an elephant do? It stomps its foot. Can you? From the creator of such beloved classics as The
Grouchy Ladybug and The Mixed-Up Chameleon comes this interactive story that invites kids to imitate animal movements.
Watching giraffes bend their necks or monkeys wave their arms is fun, but nothing could be better than joining in. From their
heads down to their toes, kids will be wriggling, jiggling, and giggling as they try to keep up with these animals! Alligators
wiggle, elephants stop, gorillas thump, and giraffes bend. Can you do it? ' I can do it!' is the confidence-building message of
this fun-filled interactive picture book. A variety of familiar animals invite young children to copy their antics, and as they play,
they will learn such important skills as careful listening, focusing attention, and following instructions. Just as alphabet books
introduce the very young child to letters and simple words, From Head to Toe introduces the basic body parts and simple
body movements. And in the same way that children progress from understanding simple words to reading and writing
sentences and stories, so they will progress from simple body movements to dancing, gymnastics, and other sports and
activities, with confidence and pleasure. Eric Carle's colorful collages have delighted children for more than a generation.
Each book provides hours of fun while encouraging them to stretch their imaginations. His matchless words and illustrations
now send out a new challenge: Are you ready? Here we go! Move yourself From Head to Toe.

Holiday House (March 1, 2002)
Summary:
Celebrated children’s historian Russell Freedman explores the tensions in colonial America that led to the creation of the
Declaration of Independence and the birth of a nation. This engaging account delves into the deep-rooted conflicts between
the American colonies and the British crown, presenting the Revolution not as a sudden break between distant governments
but an inevitable result of building pressure, spurred on by events and guided by the distinct personalities that would
become the Founding Fathers. With a strong focus on cause and effect and the actions of important individuals, Give Me
Liberty! traces the tensions that built up in the 1770s, including the Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party, and the early battles of
the Revolutionary War, culminating in the signing of the Declaration in 1776, and its spread through the new American
nation.Illustrated with historical paintings, prints, and document reproductions, Freedman weaves primary sources and
contemporaneous accounts into his narrative, making it an immersive and eye-catching resource. Perfect for students of
American history, this introduction to the American Revolution also includes a final chapter on how the ideals expressed in
the Declaration of Independence have persisted and evolved through the years, inspiring later generations to seek rights for
more and more Americans. Detailed backmatter includes a printed image and full text of the Declaration, a timeline of
events, selected bibliography, and index.

Summary:
A bulbous nose, an overstuffed shocking-red dress, green toenails, garish makeup ... has there ever been a more
magnificently horrendous witch than this one in James Marshall's deliciously dark re-telling of Hansel and Gretel?A poor
woodcutter lives with his wife and two children, Hansel and Gretel. Weak-willed and easily manipulated, the wood cutter
gives in to his overbearing, badgering wife who insists he abandons his children to the wilderness of the forest because,
well, they eat too much food! There, as they try and find their way home, Hansel and Gretel come across a beautiful sugar-
spun, candy cottage and, as the fairytale goes, a horrendous, red-eyed witch who loves to dine on nice, fat children! With
great glee, she locks up Hansel (who looks decidely unamused about the whole affair) and has Gretel work as her slave.
Luckily, this witch gets her comeuppance - with some quick thinking and a huge, big kick in the bum, she's straight in the
fire! And how do Hansel and Gretel get home to their father? Why, a kindly duck ferries them across the lake. Classic,
irreverant, fizzy fun from a picture book genius.

"The last book that I really loved (which makes it great to me) was probably Iggie’s House... When I think about the fact that

author of Long Way Down, in The New York Times Book Review A classic, coming of age novel from award-winning author
Judy Blume about the bonds that form between children when a black family moves into an all white neighborhood. Iggie’s
House just wasn’t the same. Iggie was gone, moved to Tokyo. And there was Winnie, cracking her gum on Grove Street,
where she’d always lived, with no more best friend and two weeks left of summer. Then the Garber family moved into Iggie’s
house—two boys, Glenn and Herbie, and Tina, their little sister. The Garbers were black and Grove Street was white and
always had been. Winnie, a welcoming committee of one, set out to make a good impression and be a good neighbor. But
Glenn and Herbie and Tina didn’t want a “good neighbor.” They wanted a friend. And when the other white families on the
block got word of it, that's when the trouble started.

Inspector Flytrap
Tom Angleberger
Harry N. Abrams (August 2, 2016)
Summary:
From husband-and-wife team Tom Angleberger, creator of the New York Times bestselling Origami Yoda series, and Cece
Bell, author/illustrator of the Newbery Honor graphic novel El Deafo, comes the start to a funny and clever illustrated
chapter-book series about a mystery-solving Venus flytrap. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every
page, this early-chapter-book series is a must for beginning readers. Inspector Flytrap in the Da Vinci Cold introduces kids
to the humorous and wacky world of Inspector Flytrap's Detective Agency, home to the world-renowned solver of BIG DEAL
mysteries. The plant detective works tirelessly with his assistant Nina the Goat on his community's unsolved cases. There's
no case too big, but there are definitely cases too small for this endearingly self-important plant detective. Celebrating the
disabled yet enabled, the character of Inspector Flytrap is wheeled everywhere (on a skateboard, of course) by his goat
sidekick as this mystery-solving duo works on cases such as "The Big Deal Mystery of the Stinky Cookies" and "The Big
Deal Mystery of the Missing Rose." On his first caper, Inspector Flytrap heads to the Art Museum's Secret Lab to discover
what important message lies in a mysterious glob on a recently discovered Da Vinci flower painting. The ingenious solution:
Da Vinci was allergic to flowers, and the glob is, er, evidence of that ancient sneeze. Combining wacky humor and a silly
cast of characters with adventure, friendship, and mystery, the powerhouse team of Tom Angleberger and Cece Bell have
created a uniquely engaging series that is perfect for newly independent readers and fans of Ricky Ricotta, Captain
Underpants, and the Galaxy Zack series. Also included in these books are some graphic novel-style pages that will attract
reluctant readers.

Lincoln and Douglass
An American Friendship
Nikki Giovanni
Square Fish (January 8, 2013)
Summary:
Our sixteenth president is known for many things: he delivered the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address
during the Civil War. He was tall and skinny and notoriously stern-looking. And he also had some very strong ideas about
abolishing slavery, ideas which brought him into close contact with another very visible public figure: Frederick Douglass.
Douglass was born a slave but escaped in 1838 and became one of the central figures in the history of the American
abolitionist movement.This book offers a glimpse into the unusual friendship between two great American leaders. At a time
when racial tensions were high and racial equality was not yet established, Abraham Lincoln and Douglass formed a strong
bond over shared ideals and worked alongside each other for a common goal. Nikki Giovanni and Bryan Collier, the
acclaimed team behind Rosa, winner of the Coretta Scott King Award and a Caldecott Honor book, join forces once more to
portray this historic friendship at a unique moment in time.

Philadelphia InquirerSome things have to be believed to be seen.Sandy and Dennys have always been the normal, run-of-
the-mill ones in the extraodinary Murry family. They garden, make an occasional A in school, and play baseball. Nothing
especially interesting has happened to the twins until they accidentally interrupt their father's experiment.Then the two boys
are thrown across time and space. They find themselves alone in the desert, where, if they believe in unicorns, they can find
unicorns, and whether they believe or not, mammoths and manticores will find them.The twins are rescued by Japheth, a
man from the nearby oasis, but before he can bring them to safety, Dennys gets lost. Each boy is quickly embroiled in the
conflicts of this time and place, whose populations includes winged seraphim, a few stray mythic beasts, perilous and
beautiful nephilim, and small, long lived humans who consider Sandy and Dennys giants. The boys find they have more to
do in the oasis than simply getting themselves home--they have to reunite an estranged father and son, but it won't be easy,

day so hot that even frogs wore shoes. Or the time his best friend, Gloria, made the sun move. Sometimes, though, Julian's
way with words can backfire. That's what happens when Julian calls his kid brother, Huey, a name—and their father

Summary:
New York Times Book Review Editor's ChoiceA funny, heartwarming, and heartbreaking contemporary story about three
boys, one teacher, and a day none of them will ever forget.“Kids won’t just love this book. They need it.” —Soman
Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil“Each page crackles as we embark on the
greatest adventure of all.” —Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honor winner and author of Okay for NowEveryone knows there are
different kinds of teachers. The boring ones, the mean ones, the ones who try too hard, the ones who stopped trying long
ago. The ones you’ll never remember, and the ones you want to forget. Ms. Bixby is none of these. She’s the sort of teacher
who makes you feel like school is somehow worthwhile. Who recognizes something in you that sometimes you don’t even
see in yourself. Who you never want to disappoint. What Ms. Bixby is, is one of a kind.Topher, Brand, and Steve know this
better than anyone. And so when Ms. Bixby unexpectedly announces that she won’t be able to finish the school year, they
come up with a risky plan—more of a quest, really—to give Ms. Bixby the last day she deserves. Through the three very
different stories they tell, we begin to understand what Ms. Bixby means to each of them—and what the three of them mean
to each other.John David Anderson is the author of Sidekicked and The Dungeoneers, proven winners with middle grade
readers, and Ms. Bixby's Day is no exception.

of a raven, the miraculous Merla, Nashoba must lead his pack of eight to their next meal. The wolf hates being dependent
on a mere bird, but Merla is a bird wise beyond her years. When Casey’s path crosses Nashoba’s, the worlds of two very
different hunters collide.

Old Yeller
Fred Gipson
Harper Collins (August 18, 2009)
Summary:
A timeless American classic and one of the most beloved children’s books ever written, Old Yeller is a Newbery Honor Book
that explores the poignant and unforgettable bond between a boy and the stray dog who becomes his loyal friend. When his
father sets out on a cattle drive toward Kansas for the summer, fourteen-year-old Travis Coates is left to take care of his
family and their farm. Living in Texas Hill Country during the 1860s, Travis comes to face new, unanticipated, and often
perilous responsibilities in the frontier wilderness.A particular nuisance is a stray yellow dog that shows up one day and
steals food from the family. But the big canine who Travis calls “Old Yeller” proves his worth by defending the family from
danger. And Travis ultimately finds help and comfort in the courage and unwavering love of the dog who comes to be his
very best friend. Fred Gipson’s novel is an eloquently simple story that is both exciting and deeply moving. It stands
alongside works like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Where The Red Fern Grows, and Shiloh as a beloved and
enduring classic of literature. Originally published in 1956 to instant acclaim, Old Yeller later inspired a hit film from Walt
Disney. Just as Old Yeller inevitably makes his way into the Coates family’s hearts, this book will find its own special place in
readers’ hearts.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
40th Anniversary Special Edition
Mildred D. Taylor
Penguin Young Readers Group (January 5, 2016)
Summary:
This is an extraordinarily moving novel -- one you will not easily forget. Set in Mississippi at the height of the Depression, it is
the story of one family's struggle to maintain their integrity, pride, and independence. It is a story of physical survival, but
more important, it is a story of the survival of the human spirit. And, too, it is Cassie's story -- Cassie Logan, an independent
girl raised by a family for whom independence is primary, a family determined not to relinquish their humanity simply
because they are Black. Cassie has grown up protected, grown up strong, and so far grown up unaware that any white
person could force her to be untrue to herself, could consider her inferior and treat her accordingly. It took the events of one
turbulent year -- the year of the night riders and the burnings, the year a white girl humiliated Cassie in public simply
because she was Black -- to show Cassie why the land meant so much, why having a place of their own where they
answered to no one permitted the Logans the luxuries of pride and courage their sharecropper neighbors couldn't afford and
their white neighbors couldn't allow. Richly characterized, powerfully told, Mildred Taylor's novel is unforgettable. The
Logans' story is at times warm and humorous, at times terrifying. It is a story of courage and love and pride, the story of one
family's passionate determination not to be beaten down. - Back cover.

Slob
Ellen Potter
Penguin (February 25, 2020)
Summary:
*"A sensitive, touching, and sometimes heartbreakingly funny picture of middle school life."--School Library Journal, starred
reviewOutrageously funny and smart, this story of an obese boy who takes on his bullies is as heartwarming as it is
clever.Twelve-year-old Owen Birnbaum is the fattest kid in school. But he also invents cool contraptions--like a TV that can
show the past--because there is something that happened two years ago which he needs to see if he ever hopes to unravel
a dreadful mystery.But inventor or not, there is a lot Owen can't figure out. Like how his Oreos keep disappearing from his
lunch. Or why his sister suddenly wants to be called by a boy's name. Or why a diabolical, scar-faced bully at school seems
to be on a mission to destroy him. He's sure that if only he can get the TV to work, things will start to make sense. But it will
take a revelation, not a cool invention, for Owen to see that the answer is not in the past, but the present. That no matter
how large he is on the outside, he doesn't have to feel small on the inside.With her trademark humor, Ellen Potter has
created a larger-than-life character and story whose weight is immense when measured in heart.Praise for Slob:A Junior
Library Guild Selection!"Potter delicately and confidently delivers a pitch-perfect story of self-worth . . . . This is a book for
everyone: smart, devious, overweight, underweight, shy, courageous and everyone in between." --The Children's Book

Stowaway
Karen Hesse
Simon and Schuster (November 1, 2000)
Summary:
In the summer of 1768, an eleven-year-old butcher's apprentice named Nicholas Young climbed aboard a ship, hid himself
from captain and crew, and waited to be carried far away from the life he hated in London. Nick didn't know it, but the ship
he chose -- H.M.S. Endeavour -- was bound for an astonishing adventure. Captained by James Cook, Endeavour was on a
secret mission to discover an unknown continent at the bottom of the globe. During his three-year voyage, Nick encountered
hardship and was awed by new discoveries; he weathered danger and proved himself brave when disaster struck; he
earned the respect and trust of the gentlemen on board; he made a friend for life. And he made history. An eleven-year-old
boy named Nicholas Young really did stow away on Cook's Endeavour. Based on exhaustive historical research and
illustrated with evocative drawings by Robert Andrew Parker, Stowaway is Newbery winner Karen Hesse's extraordinary
fictional account of the real Nicholas's journey.

Karen Cushman
Harper Collins (April 3, 1998)
Summary:
Dear Gram and Grampop,Please do not address yours truly as California anymore, California Morning Whipple being a
foolish name for a duck much less a girl. I call myself Lucy now. I cannot hate California and be California. I know you will
understand.California doesn't suit Lucy Whipple -- not the name, not the place. But moving out West to Lucky Diggins,
California, was her mama's dream-come-true. And now her brother, Butte, and sisters, Prairie and Sierra, seem to be
Westerners at heart, too. For Lucy, Lucky Diggins is hardly a town at all -- just a bunch of ramshackle tents and tobacco-
spitting miners. Even the gold her mama claimed was just lying around in the fields isn't panning out. Worst of all, there's no
lending library! Dag diggety!So Lucy vows to be plain miserable until she can hightail it back East where she belongs. But
Lucy California Morning Whipple may be in for a surprise -- because home is a lot closer than she thinks... When California
Morning Whipple's widowed mother uproots her family from their comfortable Massachusetts environs and moves them to a
rough mining camp called Lucky Diggins in the Sierras, California Morning resents the upheaval. Desperately wanting to
control something in her own life, she decides to be called Lucy, and as Lucy she grows and changes in her strange and
challenging new environment. Here Karen Cushman helps the American Gold Rush spring to colorful life, just as she did for
medieval England in her previous two books, Catherine, Called Birdy and The Midwife's Apprentice, which won Newbery
Honor status and a Newbery Medal respectively.

leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into

guides—and friends—than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures—from taking in the sights and sounds of
Broadway to escaping a smoky fire.Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty
corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester
as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one—
not even Chester himself—realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a
thing or two.The Cricket in Times Square is George Selden at his best, and the new illustrations and interior images by
Garth Williams make this edition a special treat.

The Glass Castle
A Memoir
Jeannette Walls
Simon and Schuster (July 11, 2017)
Summary:
"Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation.
Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert
towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination,
teaching them physics, geology, and above all, how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary, who painted and wrote and
couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family, called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would
be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever. Later, when the
money ran out, or the romance of the wandering life faded, the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town --
and the family -- Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and
disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for
themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to
leave home. What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to
get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all
odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery
determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms. For two decades, Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells
her own story. A regular contributor to MSNBC.com, she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John
Taylor."--Online description.

Scholastic Inc. (2008)
Summary:
It's a new school year in Cabin Creek and the cousins have a new mystery. When Claire and David look out the art room
window and see a girl's pale face, they suspect it's a ghost. How else could someone look into a second floor window and
just disappear? As the cousins investigate, they find other peculiar clues: piano music lilting through the halls, the aroma of
pumpkin pie, and a crooked old painting that looks like the ghost's face. Is their spooky old school house really a haunted
house?Each of the six books in this series feature atmospheric spot art throughout.Praise for Kristiana Gregory:"Through
Hattie's diary, Gregory brings the rigors of the trip to life, but she also includes the details that kept the settlers going--the
friendships and camaraderie that developed and the joyful events (a wedding and some births) that occurred. Gregory
brings a sobering dose of reality to an era that's often romanticized; this is a fine glimpse of history on a human scale."--
Kirkus Reviews, for Dear America: Across a Wide and Lonesome Praire"As she has done in several previous historical
novels, Gregory brings to life events and perspectives not often found in the standard history texts... the bloody battles, and
the suspenseful tone of the short, cliffhanger chapters will keep most readers involved. Meanwhile, Gregory provides
insights into life in Alta California and nicely integrates Spanish words into the text. Historical notes, a glossary, a
bibliography, and maps add to this novel's utility as a starting point for history lessons as well as for leisure reading."--School
Library Journal, for The Stowaway."This is heartfelt historical fiction, and readers will relish each page of the adventure."--

The Mailbox
Audrey Shafer
Random House Children's Books (August 12, 2008)
Summary:
For readers of Unbroken and Flags of Our Fathers, The Mailbox is a sympathetic portrayal of veterans and the burdens they
carry throughout their lives. Vernon Culligan had been dead to the town of Draydon, Virginia, so long that when the crusty
Vietnam vet finally died, only one person noticed. Twelve-year-old Gabe grew up in the foster care system until a social
worker located his Uncle Vernon two years before. When he comes home to discover that his uncle has died of a heart
attack, he's terrifed of going back into the system--so he tells no one. The next day, he discovers a strange note in his
mailbox: I HAVE A SECRET. DO NOT BE AFRAID. And his uncle's body is gone. Thus begins a unique
correspondence destined to save the two people that depended on Vernon for everything. Through flashbacks, we learn
about Gabe and Vernon's relationship, and how finding each other saved them both from lives of suffering. But eventually,
Vernon's death will be discovered, and how will Gabe and the mystery note writer learn to move forward? The Mailbox is
not a story about death--though it begins with a death. It's also not a story about Vietnam vets, although the author works
with Vietnam veterans and wrote this novel, in part, to illuminate their sacrifices and suffering. The Mailbox is a story about
connections--about how two people in need can save each other.Praise for The Mailbox:Junior Library Guild SelectionA
Bank Street College Best Children's Books of the YearA Librarians' Choices Booklist Selection“Shafer’s narrative is heartfelt,

Summary:
The Mamba Mentality: How I Play is Kobe Bryant’s personal perspective of his life and career on the basketball court and

of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe “The Black Mamba” Bryant decided to share his vast knowledge and
understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary “Mamba mentality.”
Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to
play it “the right way,” The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative
basketball players ever.In his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare
mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent,
how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. They’ll also get fascinating granular detail as
he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career.Bryant’s detailed accounts are paired with stunning
photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the Lakers and NBA official
photographer, captured Bryant’s very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016—and hundreds of thousands in between,
the record of a unique, twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer.The combination of Bryant’s
narrative and Bernstein’s photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one
of the world’s most celebrated and fascinating athletes.

Summary:
"The Secret Garden should be on every child's bookshelf."—Amanda Craig, The Time An enchanting story of
transformation and compassion, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden is widely considered to be one of the most
important works of children’s literature. After her parents die of cholera, Mary Lennox, a difficult and sickly little girl, is
brought from India to her mysterious uncle’s sprawling estate on the Yorkshire moors. Mary continues in her self-absorbed
ways until one day she discovers a hidden and neglected garden adjoining her uncle’s mansion. When she meets Ben

together to tend the garden, and Mary’s life—as well as the lives of those around her—begins to change in unforeseen
ways. This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the first American edition published in 1911. Praise for
The Secret Garden“It is only the exceptional author who can write a book about children with sufficient skill, charm,
simplicity, and significance to make it acceptable to both young and old. Mrs. Burnett is one of the few thus gifted.”—The

The Underneath
Kathi Appelt
Simon and Schuster (May 6, 2008)
Summary:
There is nothing lonelier than a cat who has been loved, at least for a while, and then abandoned on the side of the road. A
calico cat, about to have kittens, hears the lonely howl of a chained-up hound deep in the backwaters of the bayou. She
dares to find him in the forest, and the hound dares to befriend this cat, this feline, this creature he is supposed to hate.
They are an unlikely pair, about to become an unlikely family. Ranger urges the cat to hide underneath the porch, to raise
her kittens there because Gar-Face, the man living inside the house, will surely use them as alligator bait should he find
them. But they are safe in the Underneath...as long as they stay in the Underneath. Kittens, however, are notoriously curious
creatures. And one kitten's one moment of curiosity sets off a chain of events that is astonishing, remarkable, and enormous
in its meaning. For everyone who loves Sounder, Shiloh, and The Yearling, for everyone who loves the haunting beauty of
writers such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Flannery O'Connor, and Carson McCullers, Kathi Appelt spins a harrowing yet
keenly sweet tale about the power of love -- and its opposite, hate -- the fragility of happiness and the importance of making
good on your promises.

every trick he can think of to get rid of it--and ends up in a heap of trouble. Despite his efforts, Verdi turns green, but to his
delight, he discovers that being green doesn't mean he has to stop being himself. “Cannon is on a roll, her gift for creating
memorable characters and scenes on glorious display in this tale of a feisty python hatchling.”--Publishers Weekly
