When a whole class goes gorilla, they learn the importance of
balancing passion and creativity with cooperation in this charmer
of a picture book from the New York Times bestselling duo, Barbara
Bottner and Michael Emberley.
The day Priscilla gets a book about gorillas,
she instantly becomes obsessed. She dances
like them, eats like them, and wears her gorilla
costume 24–7! There are so many things to
love about gorillas, but what Priscilla loves best
is how they seem to always get their way. So
when Mr. Todd tells all his students to dress
up like their favorite animal, Priscilla’s choice
is obvious. But dancing around and beating
her chest when it’s not her turn sends Priscilla
straight to the Thinking Corner. She is of course
outraged—nobody tells a gorilla what to do!—
and as her attitude spreads, soon the thinking
corner is full of her classmates. Is Priscilla really
channeling her inner gorilla, or is she just a
troublemaker in ape’s clothing?

THE HIDDEN WORLD OF CHANGERS
#1: THE GATHERING STORM
#2: THE EMERALD MASK
By H. K. Varian
Imprint: Simon Spotlight
Fantasy and myth collide in this wild, action-packed new middle-grade series!
When four normal seventh graders start developing incredible powers, they find out that they
are Changers. Ripped from the pages of mythology and folklore, Changers are people who can
transform into magical creatures. They look just like us, but underneath they are werewolves
and selkies, lightning birds and spirit foxes. They come from every corner of the world—and
possess magic untold.
In The Gathering Storm, Mack, Fiona, Darren, and Gabriella aren’t exactly friends at their middle
school. But when they start developing incredible powers, they find out that they are Changers,
a magical race that history has forgotten. But there’s little time for questions. A powerful
warlock is racing toward their town, destroying everything in his wake. Can the kids harness
their newfound powers in time to save their home?
In The Emerald Mask, the kids are training hard to control their growing powers, something that
seems easy for everyone except Gabriella—she loves the speed and strength that comes with
being a jaguar so much that her transformations are out of control. If Gabriella changes during a
soccer game, everyone at school could learn her secret.

THE BEAST IS AN ANIMAL (W.T.)
By Peternelle van Arsdale
2016
Haunting and beautiful, The Beast Is an Animal is a wholly original fairy tale: shivery, dark,
and deeply satisfying.
Alys was seven when the soul eaters came to her village. The soul eaters are twin sisters who
were abandoned by their father and slowly grew into something not quite human. And they feed
off human souls. Alys was spared, as were all the children in her village, and the young survivors
were sent to a neighboring village. There the devout people have created a strict world where
good and evil are as fundamental as the nursery rhymes children sing. Fear of the soul eaters—
and of the Beast they believe guides them—rules village life. But the Beast is not what they think
he is. And neither is Alys.
Inside, Alys feels connected to the soul eaters, and maybe even to the Beast itself. Her journey
will take her through the darkest parts of the forest, where danger threatens Alys from the
outside—and from within her own soul.

Avengers meets The Mortal Instruments in this contemporary fantasy—the first book in a
trilogy featuring four girls with the power to save the world from the monstrous Phantoms . . .
but only if they can figure out how to work together first.
Years ago, everything changed.
Phantoms, massive beasts of nightmare, began terrorizing the world. At the same time, four
girls, the Effigies, appeared, each with the unique power to control a classical element: earth, air,
fire, or water. Since then, four girls across the globe are continually tasked with the cosmic duty
to protect the world—at the death of one Effigy, another is unexpectedly chosen, pulled from her
normal life into the never-ending battle.
When Natalia, the Fire Effigy, is killed in battle, Maia is next to be chosen. A quiet girl with few
friends and almost no family, she is immediately thrust into battle and expected to master her
skill over fire. Things are made more complicated by the arrival of a new villain, Saul—a man
with the never-before-seen power to control the Phantoms.
Now Maia and the other Effigies must learn to work together, at a time when their celebrity is
more important than their heroism, in order to fight Saul and his Phantoms, find out the true
plans behind his attacks, and, ultimately, discover the origin of his powers . . . and their own.

But then someone new enters his world and changes it for ever. Expect superheroes,
super-nurses, and a few tears from this truly unique story.

By Candy Harper
Little Women meets Jacqueline Wilson in this delightful middle-grade series
Meet the Strawberry Sisters!
Oldest sister Amelia wants to be left alone, so she’s grown a fringe to hide under. Second up is
sport-crazy Chloe who’s training to be a wrestling star (this week, anyway). Ella’s third in line,
friendly and shy—she wants to be everyone’s best friend. Littlest sister Lucy is cute (and slightly
barmy). And now there’s a new Strawberry Sister—baby Kirsti, who lives with Dad and his
Finnish girlfriend.
With so much going on, life can sometimes feel totally crazy, but the Strawberry Sisters have a
secret weapon against the craziness of the world they live in—each other.

best-loved teen writers
I take a deep breath. “The thing is, I can’t shake this feeling there’s someone out there,” I explain.
“There’s the ghost or whatever in the dark coat and red hat that I’ve seen twice now and the
newspaper article, and they both make me think . . . maybe it’s my real mum. I mean, this place is
supposed to be haunted. I think, perhaps, that it’s my mum who’s here, haunting it . . . haunting me.
The shocking reality behind an unexpected inheritance turns Evie Brown’s world on its head. One
moment her world is completely normal, the next she is in line to inherit ten million pounds—

Geek Girl and The It Girl.
