Childhood is a magical time when even the stuff of the day-to-day is exciting and the ordinary often seems extraordinary. A part of this magic is that with
just a little imagination, we all might be found to possess true superpowers!This isn't the first or last book where a child delightedly discovers her own
superpowers. But it may be just about the driest, funniest, and sweetest, where the discovery is handled with humor and charm.One of the book's true
pleasures is that it's a girl who discovers her own extraordinary abilities, and when her powers fail, as they must, she discovers them in her mom. All of
which leads to a lovely intimacy between the two. Michael Escoffier was born in France in 1970. Raised by a family of triceratops, he discovered his
passion for writing and telling stories at a young age. He lives in Lyon, France, with his wife and two children.Born in Brazil of American parents, Kris Di
Giacomo is a popular children's book illustrator who has lived in France for a long time. After living in the United States for a while, she moved to France,
where teaching English to young children and discovering French picture books were the triggers that led her to try her hand at illustrating stories. Kris has

who visits Paris to find "a job, love and a future" is worth every bit of paper and ink. The lion atop the Eiffel Tower, mane blowing in the wind, captures the
essence of this artful, whimsical delight."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review"By the time he decides to settle in the City of Lights, readers will be thoroughly
charmed by both the lion and his creator."--Publishers Weekly"Ms. Alemagna's illustrations are made up of drawings, colored cutouts and bits of
photography--an increasingly popular approach known as mixed-media collage--and she is playful with perspective. The effect is both mesmerizing and
warming as we follow the great beast around the City of Light."--The Wall Street Journal

loves everything about school--reading, writing, adding, subtracting, sharing, playing music, the playground. Her perfect day goes horribly (and hysterically

This new and fully re-designed edition of the now-classic book marks the tenth anniversary of Bhajju Shyam's momentous journey to London, U.K. Bhajju
Shyam, a celebrated and award-winning artist from the Gond tribe in central India, was commissioned to paint the walls of an Indian restaurant in London.
He spent two months in the city, and it was the first time he encountered a western metropolis. The book that emerged from his journey is a visual travelogue
that both mimics and subverts the typical colonial encounter. With radical innocence and great sophistication, Bhajju brings the signs of the Gond forest to
bear on the city, turning London into an exotic jungle, a clever beastiary. The London Underground becomes a sinuous snake, Big Ben transforms into a
rooster crowing the time, and an airplane - the first Bhajju ever encountered - is compared to an elephant miraculously flying through the air. It is rare to
encounter a truly original vision that is capableof startling us into reexamining familiar sights. By breathing the ancient spirit of wonder back into the act of
travel, The London Jungle Book does just that.

Once upon a time there was no alphabet, only numbers... Life was...fine. Orderly. Dull as gray paint. Very...numberly. But our five jaunty heroes weren't
willing to accept that this was all there could be. They knew there had to be more. So they broke out hard hats and welders, hammers and glue guns, and they
started knocking some numbers together. Removing a piece here. Adding a piece there. At first, it was awful. But the five kept at it, and soon it was...artful!
One letter after another emerged, until there were twenty-six. Twenty-six letters--and they were beautiful. All colorful, shiny, and new. Exactly what our
heroes didn't even know they were missing. And when the letters entered the world, something truly wondrous began to happen...Pizza! Jelly beans! Color!
Books! Based on the award-winning app, this is William Joyce and Moonbot's Metropolis-inspired homage to everyone who knows there is more to life than
shades of black and gray.

that fox showed up for a reason, and the little bird's outburst leads to a surprise ending you'll want to read again and again.

new girl in town, determined to have adventures like she promised her brother Jon before he died. With her Mama frozen in grief and her Daddy busy as
town judge, Becky spends much of her time on her own, getting into mischief. Before long, she joins the boys at school in a bet to steal from the Widow
Douglas, and Becky convinces her new best friend, Amy Lawrence, to join her. But the theft doesn't go as planned, and Widow Douglas ends up being
unfairly accused of grave robbing as a result. So Becky concocts a plan to clear the Widow's name. If she pulls it off, she might just get her Mama to notice
her again, as well as fulfill her promise to Jon in a most unexpected way. That is, if that tattletale Tom Sawyer will quit following her around.

Arrow Through the Axes
by Patrick Bowman
ISBN: 9781553803232
Binding: Paperback
Series: Odyssey of a Slave
Publisher: Ronsdale Press
Pub. Date: 2014-03-31
Pages: 200
Price: $11.95
Arrow through the Axes concludes the "Odyssey of a Slave" trilogy that began with the Red Maple-nominated Torn from Troy, retelling Homer's Odyssey.
The slave Alexi, now free of his Greek captors, infiltrates the Greek strongholds of the Bronze Age in search of his sister. In so doing he participates in the
stories of Orestes, son of Agamemnon, as he seeks revenge for his father's murder, and of Telemachus, son of Odysseus, who lands on Ithaca, the home
island of Odysseus, just in time to witness the arrival of a mysterious stranger. As Alexi comes to understand the damage that the Trojan War has visited
upon its victors, both he and the reader are forced to confront an unpleasant truth, while Alexi must decide where his allegiance really lies. Re-casting the
Odyssey as a YA adventure, this trilogy brings ancient mythology to life in a way that traditional retellings cannot. We see what life would have been like
for Bronze-Age warriors as Bowman interweaves adventure, ritual and historical detail into a realistic and compelling narrative. Readers who have
experienced pop mythology, and now want to dive deeper, will find Arrow through the Axes especially satisfying, but all readers will enjoy this powerful
excursion into the classic mythology that shaped western culture.

toils in endless drudgery until the day she discovers a mystery swirling around her family's past. But before she can unravel the secrets, a series of natural
disasters rumble through Above, bringing both worlds--and Hokk and Elia--ever closer, until the day the earth crumbles below Elia's feet and she falls.
When Hokk rescues the strange girl who miraculously survives her plunge into the sea, he realizes she might be the key to finally ending his banishment.
Both teens are desperate to return to the homes they've lost, and their journey together will propel them across endless plains, through shattered cities and
into mirrored palaces in a centuries-old battle for the very earth and sky around them.

McCutcheon Daniels' life is full of bone-cracking violence. As a star fighter in the gritty underground Mixed Martial Arts circuit in the poorest section of
Detroit, McCutcheon fights under the tutelage of his volatile and violent father, not so much for himself but to survive as protector of his beloved five-year
old sister, Gemma. We get to know McCutcheon as he battles opponents who are literally trying to kill him. Mr. Freedman, his science teacher, spots his
intellectual potential, befriends him, and encourages him to enter the lottery for a scholarship to an elite charter school so he can obtain a first-class
education. He is at first dead-set against the idea, and of course his tyrannical father forbids it. But the school's headmaster, Kaitlyn, a student assigned to be
his guide, and Mr. Freedman continue to encourage him to consider it.
His father and the Priests, the local Mafia-like crew that run Detroit's organized crime, have other plans for McCutcheon. For them, he is simply a tool to
make them money. And when that cash flow is threatened, his father hits McCutcheon where it hurts most-he hides Gemma and threatens his own son that
he'll never see his beloved sister again if he doesn't play by the Priests' rules.
For the first time in his life, McCutcheon reaches out for help. Mr. Freedman turns out to have a very mysterious past and not only helps McCutcheon find
his sister but also his mother who had simply disappeared on McCutcheon's 13th birthday. All seems well, but happy endings aren't really something
McCutcheon feels he can rely on ...

Blending irreverent humor, lite chills, and a satisfying adventure, this third book in the break-out tween series follows Nick, Carter, and Angelo as they go on
one creepy camping trip and accidentally unleash a host of Gremlin-like creatures who turn into evil twins of people in town.
It might be December, but in California, it's still warm enough for a camping trip, and Nick's dad is excited to take the family -- including Carter and Angelo,
of course -- to the Santa Cruz Mountains. But when they arrive, they find that Monarch Butterfly season is in full swing, and the family reservation isn't in
the system. Not to worry -- like all Dads, Nick's knows a shortcut, and he takes the family to an out-of-the-way camping ground that seems safe enough...
The boys are convinced they're going to run into a real live Sasquatch, but what they find instead is much smaller -- and much scarier. A tiny creature who
looks exactly like Carter, and even speaks with Carter's voice. Then, the creature reveals that it can change into the other boys as well. Nick and Angelo are
freaked out, but Carter feels protective of the little guy, and sneaks him into his backpack.
When they get back to town, people aren't acting like themselves. The school fashionista, Kimber Tidwell, is suddenly quite mean to her best friends; the
boys' dreaded teacher, Ms. Schoepf, is suddenly so deliriously nice that she decides to teach history using interpretive dance; and even Nick's dad wants to
raise Nick's allowance, which is when Nick knows something is really wrong.
It turns out the little homunculus Carter took from the woods was guarding a legion of doppelgangers -- creatures that imitate humans and steal their
essences -- and now, someone has stolen the homunculus from Carter. It will take all the boys' sleuthing skills to tell the doppelgangers from the real things
and find the homunculus, especially when the doppelgangers start imitating the boys themselves!

A magic adventure set in an enchanted castle that is sure to appeal to fans of Gail Carson Levine, Karen Cushman, and Shannon Hale.
When Sand wakes up alone in a long-abandoned castle, he has no idea how he got there. The stories all said the place was ruined by an earthquake, and Sand
did not expect to find everything inside--from dishes to candles to apples--torn in half or slashed to bits. Nothing lives here and nothing grows, except the
vicious, thorny bramble that prevents Sand from leaving. Why wasn't this in the stories?
Stories don't know everything.
To survive, Sand does what he knows best--he fires up the castle's forge to mend what he needs to live. But the things he fixes work somehow better than
they ought to. Is there magic in the mending, granted by the saints who once guarded this place?
Unexpectedly, Sand finds the lost heir, Perrotte, a girl who shares the castle's astonishing secrets and dark history. Putting together the pieces--of stone and
iron, and of a broken life--is harder than Sand ever imagined, but it's the only way to gain their freedom, even with the help of the guardian saints.
Free yourselves, and go.
With gorgeous language and breathtaking magic, Merrie Haskell's The Castle Behind Thorns tells of the power of memory and story, forgiveness and
strength, and the true gifts of craft and imagination.

For many years the scientific and educational community has wondered and worried about the possibility that semi-sane scholar pretenders would find the
means to put out a series of reference books aimed at children but filled with ludicrous misinformation. These books would be distributed through
respectable channels and would inevitably find their way into the hands and households of well-meaning families, who would go to them for facts but
instead find bizarre untruths. The books would look normal enough, but would read as if written by people who should at all costs be denied access to pens
and pencils.Sadly, with the publication of this, the fifth volume in a proposed series of 377 reference books, that day has come. Children and the Tundra is
actually two books in one, as Dr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey, due to space constraints, is forced to explain both the concept of children-a species she doesn't trust
for a second-and the tundra, in one book. She is, as always, joined in her crusade of lies by her husband, Benny, who is mostly useless.

In this inventive romantic thriller, Del has the power to navigate between alternate realities--and the power to save multiple worlds.
Delancey knows for sure that there is more than one universe. Many more. Because every time someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world is spun off the
existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of right, sneaking out instead of staying in bed--all of these choices create alternate universes
in which echo selves take the roads not traveled. Del knows all of this because she's a Walker, someone who can navigate between the worlds, and whose job
is to keep the dimensions in harmony. But Del's decisions have consequences too. Even though she's forbidden from Walking after a training session goes
horribly wrong, she secretly starts to investigate other dissonant worlds. She's particularly intrigued by the echo versions of Simon Lane, a guy who won't
give her the time of day in the main world, but whose alternate selves are uniquely interested. But falling for Simon draws Del closer to a truth that the
Council of Walkers is trying to hide--a secret that threatens the fate of the entire multiverse.

Amy Gumm has had enough of her trailer park life and she'd do anything to get out of Kansas. And just like that, her tragic life is gone with the wind when
she finds herself transported to Oz. Instead of the beautiful, magical land she's come to know in books and movies, she discovers that Dorothy Gale ended up
going back to Oz, let her power go to her head, and wreaked havoc on the land. The land where troubles melt like lemon drops is now a place where you're
more likely to find an alcoholic, out-of-work Munchkin than a happy little bluebird. And it's all because of that bitch from Kansas.
Amy joins up with the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked-a group of dispossessed witches and warlocks who despise the tyrannical ruler that Dorothy has
become. As it turns out, humans in Oz possess magic, and Amy is now the best chance the ROW has of taking Dorothy down. Her mission: get the

of the death of his grandfather, a man he barely knew. Vince is convinced that if he can get to his grandfather's funeral, he'll find his father there. His only
guide is a journal his grandfather left behind -- a record of his life when he was Vince's age, which Vince soon learns is a completely arresting fairy tale
about his grandfather trying to rescue his mother from an evil enchantress. But could the stories be true? And what do they say about Vince's own quest to
find his father?

An inventive fantasy adventure rooted in Arthurian legend but set in the present--where a secret Eighth Day exists.
When Jax Aubrey wakes up the morning after his 13th birthday to a world with no people, he does what anyone would do: assumes it's the apocalypse,
stocks up on survival supplies, and fortifies his house against zombies. When he wakes up the next morning to a normal Thursday, Jax wonders if he's lost
his mind. But his 18 year-old guardian, Riley Pendare, explains that there is an extra day squeezed between Wednesday and Thursday. Some people, like Jax
and Riley, are Transitioners, and live in all eight days. Others, including Evangeline, the teenage girl who's been hiding out in the house next door, exist only
on this special day.
Jax is intrigued by Evangeline, who should be more than 100 years old, but because she lives only one day a week, is still a teenager. When Jax attempts to
befriend her, he learns that she is the key to a spell cast during King Arthur's reign. Riley is her reluctant jailor, sworn to keep her safe from enemies who
would use her to eliminate the other seven days of the week, leaving only those with access to the Eighth Day alive. They'll kill her if they can't get what
they want. So when Jax accidentally leads a pack of human bloodhounds to her door, he's confronted with a terrible choice: face a real apocalypse or
sacrifice Evangeline.

Seventeen-year-old Summer's evolution is ignited by a romance with band hottie, Caleb, and the discovery of an eerie connection between the band she
manages and the mystery surrounding a famous rocker who died years ago. The start of a hip, emotionally intense, and voice-driven series from rising talent
Kevin Emerson.
Catherine Summer Carlson knows how to manage bands like a professional--she's a student at the PopArts Academy at Mount Hope High, where rock
legends Allegiance to North got their start. The never-skipping-class Catherine part of her knows, though, that falling for the lead singer of her latest band is
the least professional thing a manager can do. But Caleb Daniels isn't an ordinary band boy--he's a hot, dreamy, sweet-singing, exiled-from-his-old-band,
possibly-with-a-deep-dark-side band boy. And he can do that thing. That thing when someone sings a song and it inhabits you, possesses you, and moves
you like a marionettes to its will.
Over tacos on lunch dates to far-off outlet-mall planets and during practices at the Hive with their new band, Dangerheart, Catherine--no, Summer--falls in
love with Caleb.
She also finds herself at the center of a mystery she never saw coming. When Caleb reveals a secret about his long-lost father, one band's past becomes
another's present, and Summer finds it harder and harder to be both band manager and girlfriend. She knows what the Catherine side of her would do, but she
also knows what her heart is telling her. Maybe it's time to accept who she really is, even if it means becoming an exile herself. . . .
Kevin Emerson's Exile is a witty and passionate ode to love, rock and roll, and the freedom that comes in the moment when somebody believes in you, even
if you're not quite ready to believe in yourself.

A sweet contemporary romance about a boy who falls in love with his best friend, and the girls who help them get together.
Senior year is almost over, and Jamie Peterson has a big problem. Not college--that's all set. Not prom--he'll find a date somehow. No, it's the worst problem
of all: he's fallen for his best friend.
As much as Jamie tries to keep it under wraps, everyone seems to know where his affections lie, and the giggling girls in art class are determined to help
Jamie get together with Mason. But Jamie isn't sure if that's what he wants--because as much as Jamie would like to come clean to Mason, what if the truth
ruins everything? What if there are no more road trips, taco dinners, or movie nights? Does he dare risk a childhood friendship for romance?
This book is about what happens when a picture reveals what we can't say, when art is truer than life, and how falling in love is easy, except when it's not.
Fan Art explores the joys and pains of friendship, of pressing boundaries, and how facing our worst fears can sometimes lead us to what we want most.

After narrowly surviving two harrowing tragedies, Jules now fully understands the importance of the visions that she and people around her are
experiencing. She's convinced that if the visions passed from her to Sawyer after she saved him, then they must now have passed from Sawyer to one of the
people he saved. That means it's up to Jules to figure out which of the school shooting survivors is now suffering from visions of another crisis. And once she
realizes who it is, she has to convince that survivor that this isn't all crazy--that the images are of something real. Something imminent. As the danger
escalates more than ever before in the conclusion to the Visions series, Jules wonders if she'll finally find out why and how this is happening--before it's too

Cuckoo's also got a nearly impossible mission: she, along with her misfit band of self-deprecating friends (who call themselves "the Freakshow") decide to
bridge the gap between warring cliques and "bring the Nations together". Not everyone is so willing to join hands and get along, but Cuckoo never stops
smiling... until one of her closest friends, pushed to desperation by a Hater prank, decides that enough is enough.

would never hear: Dr. Reynolds has Baby.
Now it's a race against time, for Baby is in imminent danger, her life threatened by the malevolent doctor who had helped start the end of the world. In order
to save Baby, Amy will have to make her way to Fort Black, a former prison-turned-survivor colony, where she will need to find Ken, Kay's brother--for he
holds the key to Baby's survival.
But before she can do any of this, she'll have to endure the darkest places--and people--of the prison. And one small slip-up could begin a downward spiral

studying serial killers. She understands them, knows what makes them tick. Why? Because she might be one herself. Lane channels her dark impulses by

Alton Barnes loves maps. He's loved them ever since he was little, and not just for the geography. Because maps contain more information than just
locations, and that's why he likes to draw maps as well as read them. Regular "point A to point B" ones, sure, but also maps that explain a whole lot
more--like what he really thinks about his friends. And teachers. Even the principal. So when Alton's maps are stolen from his locker, there's serious trouble
on the horizon...and he'll need some mad cartographic skills to escape it. From "a genius of gentle, high-concept tales set in suburban middle schools" (The
New York Times), this stand-alone story is off the charts.

John David Anderson returns to the world he created in Sidekicked with an entirely new cast of characters--this time, the villains--in a funny and emotional
companion to his first breakout tween novel.
Michael Morn might be a villain, but he's really not a bad guy. When you live in New Liberty, known across the country as the City without a Super, there
are only two kinds of people, after all: those who turn to crime and those who suffer. Michael and his adoptive father spend their days building boxes-special
devices with mysterious abilities-which they sell to the mob at a price. They provide for each other, they look out for each other, and they'd never betray each
other. In New Liberty, a city torn apart by the divide between the rich and the poor, the moral and the immoral, this is as much of a family as anyone could
ever hope for.
But then a Super comes to town, a mysterious blue streak in the sky known only as the Comet, and Michael's world is thrown into disarray. The Comet could
destroy everything Michael and his dad have built, the safe and secure life they've made for themselves in a city where safety and security are scarce. And
now Michael and his father face a choice: to hold tight to their life or to let it unravel.
John David Anderson, author of the acclaimed Sidekicked, has written another story set in an America where superheroes and supervillains are everywhere,
but where the line between right and wrong, good and evil, is no less elusive.

When Neil Andertol and a motley crew of middle-grade, video-gaming whizzes are recruited by the military to restore a botched aircraft mission, the kids
are no longer playing their favorite game for points, they're playing to save the world!
Nobody gets Neil Andertol. At school he's "lovingly" called the unfortunate nickname "Neanderthal," and at home, his karate-chopping little sister beats him
up. The only place Neil is in charge is when he's playing video games. His favorite game is where he gets to fly a sleek fighter jet that turns invisible when
he reaches a high enough level.
Neil is really good at playing video games, so good that the government needs to recruit him. It turns out that the jet-fighter game is actually pirated, top
secret, software that trains real life pilots on a super stealth, never used before jet. There are only two pilots who have been trained to fly it, so when they
mysteriously go missing, the government is forced to call in for geeky reinforcements.
Part action-movie, part silly comedy, debut author Jeff Miller's Nerdy Dozen is a Top Gun for the middle grade set with a healthy dose of clever and

Melik, who is enraged at the sadistic factory bosses and the prejudice faced by his people at the hand of Wen's, and her need to appease the ghost, who is

A publisher in New York asked me to write down what I know about the Greek gods, and I was like, Can we do this anonymously? Because I don't need the
Olympians mad at me again. But if it helps you to know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they ever show up in your face, then I guess
writing all this down will be my good deed for the week.
So begins Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, in which the son of Poseidon adds his own magic--and sarcastic asides--to the classics. He explains how the world
was created, then gives readers his personal take on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus. Percy does not hold back. "If you like horror shows, blood
baths, lying, stealing, backstabbing, and cannibalism, then read on, because it definitely was a Golden Age for all that."
Dramatic full-color illustrations throughout by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco make this volume--a must for home, library, and classroom shelves--as

For Gretchen, who lives in the shadow of her uncle, there are three rules: Obey. Smile when Hitler comes close. And never, never question him. Which she
does until one night in 1931 when she meets a fearless and attractive young Jewish reporter she's supposed to despise. But she can't stop herself from
listening to his story--that her father, the adored Nazi martyr, was actually murdered by an unknown comrade. And now that she suspects the truth, she's
ready to break rule number three--and follow her heart.
Now Gretchen will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth about her father's death, even if that knowledge could kill her. With the passionate and
handsome reporter Daniel by her side (another danger that could get her killed), the twosome fight to reveal the truth and risk their lives to change the course
of history.

Push is a thrilling action/suspense novel for fans of The Fifth Wave, about contemporary teens pulled in and out of an alternate reality where battling aliens
is more than a game--it's life and death. The sequel to Rush.
It's either break the rules or die.
Miki Jones lives her life by her own strict set of rules, to keep control, to keep the gray fog of grief at bay. Then she's pulled into the Game where she--and
her team--will die unless she follows a new set of rules: those set by the mysterious Committee.
But rules don't mean answers, and without answers it's hard to trust. People are dying. The rules are unraveling. And Miki knows she's being watched,
uncertain if it's the Drau or someone--something--else. Forced to make impossible choices, battling to save those she loves, Miki begins to see the
Committee in a glaring new light.
And then the Game crosses a new boundary, pushes harder into Miki's and her friends' lives, and there's nothing in the rules that can save them now.
Push is the sequel Rush fans will be screaming for.

in their hometown paper catches their eye--the sludge fountain at the nearby sewage plant is being retired. With this news, the three friends decide they're not
just normal kids who don't have Christmas plans: they're the Qwikpick Adventure Society. Their first mission: to see the "poop fountain" before it fades from
glory.
Told with the mix of journal entries, doodles, and handwritten notes that has made the Origami Yoda books so appealing, this is another great series from a
master chronicler of middle school.

Growing up in a house of women morticians, Lily Graves knows all about buried secrets. She knows that perfect senior-class president Erin Donohue isn't
what she seems. She knows why Erin's ex-boyfriend, hot football player Matt Houser, broke up with her. And she also knows that, even though she says she
and Matt are just friends, there is something brewing between them--something Erin definitely did not like.
But secrets, even ones you think are long buried, have a way of returning to haunt their keeper.
So when Erin is found dead the day after attacking Lily in a jealous rage, Lily and Matt's safe little lives, and the lives of everyone in their town of Potsdam,
begin to unravel. And their relationship--which grew from innocent after-school tutoring sessions to late-night clandestine rendezvous--makes them both
suspects.
As her world crumbles around her, Lily must figure out the difference between truth and deception, between genuine love and a web of lies. And she must do
it quickly, before the killer claims another victim.

house the Karai Institute. It follows Burt's heroic efforts to find a cure for the illness that has cursed him. The Orphan tells the story of Daria, orphaned at a
young and enslaved by the Babylonians, and her valiant battle to escape the only city she's ever called home. These titles are together in print for the first
time ever.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki's speech at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio caught the attention of the world. As the daughter of environmentalists David Suzuki and
Tara Cullis, Severn's concern for the environment was fueled by a trip to the Amazon rainforest at age nine. Back home in Vancouver, she and her friends
started ECO, the Environmental Children's Organization, combining their efforts to raise enough money to travel to Rio. They couldn't have imagined the
effect they would have on the adults gathered there. More than twenty years later, Severn's speech continues to receive thousands of hits on YouTube.
Severn's story is about the power that children have to create change when they work together, and how their voices can stand out above the politics and
cynicism of adults.

When Kira wakes up behind a Dumpster at the Gas 'n Sip, she has no memory of what's happened. With a kickass headache and a major case of deja vu, she
heads home only to find that five years have passed...yet she's still the same 16-year-old she was when she vanished. Everything else about her old life is
different. Now, her parents are divorced and her mom has remarried. Her boyfriend Austin--who is now 21--has gone off to college and is dating her best
friend. And her dad has changed from an uptight neat-freak to a drunken conspiracy theorist who blames her disappearance on little green men.
Confused and lost, Kira turns to Tyler, Austin's annoying kid brother (who was only twelve when she vanished and is now seventeen). As Tyler and Kira
retrace her steps that fateful night, they discover strange facts and phenomenon no one can explain. And they find themselves being hunted by a determined
government, curious scientists, and whacked-out fanatics. Then, to compound it all, Tyler gets sick, and Kira begins to think she may be dangerous to those

A hauntingly poetic tale of love and death from New York Times bestselling author Jodi Lynn Anderson.
It is dangerous to be a beautiful girl.
Maggie doesn't want a new life. She liked her old one just fine. When her parents lose their jobs and move them from bustling Chicago to small, run-down
Door County, Wisconsin, she thinks she'll spend a year reading classics and killing time until college. But things don't turn out as she thought.
Pauline understands what it's like to feel restless--she has spent her entire life dreaming of leaving Door County and becoming a singer, but she's expected to
take over the family business. Her mother spends all day in bed, and her best friend is a misunderstood loner who tinkers with model airplanes and has been
in love with her forever.
As Maggie and Pauline's worlds collide and change around them, they will both experience love and loss. By the end of the book, only one of them will
survive.

left. Europe is being run by a Facsist movement known as the Boxites, who control their territory through intimidation and terror. Chevie's memories come
back to her in fragments, and just as she is learning about the WARP program from Professor Charles Smart, inventor of the time machine, he is killed by
secret service police. Now they are after Chevie, too, but she escapes--into the past. She finds Riley, who is being pursued by futuristic soldiers, and saves
him. Working together again, it is up to Chevie and Riley to find the enigmatic Colonel Clayton Box, who is intent on escalating his power, and stop him

Mia's not your typical hospital patient. Her next door neighbor Zac can hear her fighting with her mom and the nurses through their shared wall and he
wishes she'd get over herself. But soon they are trading messages that evolve into a bond neither sees coming.
Apart from illness, they have little in common: she's a gorgeous girl with an entourage of perfect friends and he's a soccer-playing farm boy. In the real
world, these two seventeen year-olds would have little to say to each other, but in the hospital the usual rules no longer apply.
By the time Zac is discharged, Mia is gone too, and he wonders about her. Is she okay? Is she better? He can't find out. She's left Facebook and won't answer
his texts. Until the night he hears a tap at his window.
Told in alternating perspectives, Zac and Mia tracks the relationship of two ordinary teenagers in exceptional circumstances. They're both in remission, but
cancer has changed everything, and normal isn't normal anymore. This is a funny and tender novel about hope, love, and courage.

"Yes, Imre is undead," the principal said. "And we all know the Z word. We hear it all the time. But it's an unkind word. A bad word. I do not want you to
use it. You are the oldest ones here at Westwood. I am counting on you to set an example for the rest of the school."
He stood behind Imre, his hands on the kid's shoulders.
"Words can hurt," he said. "So let's keep our language friendly, okay? Imre is not like anything you see in movies and video games. He wants what you
want--to make friends, to do well, to have fun. He's like any of you here. Except that his heart isn't beating."
Evil-O was nodding intently at all this. "Yes," she whispered.
I was trying to control my breathing. I had my hand on my wrist, taking my pulse. My heart was beating 280 times a minute. That was 280 times more than
Imre's heart.
From the imagination of one of Canada's funniest writers for young readers comes the story of a creepy young zombie named Imre Lazar, who, in spite of a
few special challenges, is integrated into a regular classroom at Dresden Public School in Ontario. No one is less sure about the school board's decision than
narrator Bob, but his fearless best friend, Evil-O, is Imre's greatest defender. Clashes and heroics ensue as the community's tolerance for difference--and
Bob's tolerance for an undead rival--are pushed to the limit in this hilarious, exciting and surprisingly touching novel.

Stephen King meets Tuck Everlasting in this riveting, emotionally complex story about a teenage girl haunted by the loss of her sister--and trapped by the
strange power that fuels her small town.
Welcome to Gardnerville.
A place where no one gets sick. And no one ever dies.
Except...
There's a price to pay for paradise. Every fourth year, the strange power that fuels the town exacts its payment by infecting teens with deadly urges. In a
normal year in Gardnerville, teens might stop talking to their best friends. In a fourth year, they'd kill them.
Four years ago, Skylar's sister, Piper, was locked away after leading sixteen of her classmates to a watery grave. Since then, Skylar has lived in a numb haze,
struggling to forget her past and dull the pain of losing her sister. But the secrets and memories Piper left behind keep taunting Skylar--whispering that the
only way to get her sister back is to stop Gardnerville's murderous cycle once and for all.

From the author of the National Book Award nominee A TANGLE OF KNOTS comes an inspiring novel about figuring out who you are and doing what
you love.
Albie has never been the smartest kid in his class. He has never been the tallest. Or the best at gym. Or the greatest artist. Or the most musical. In fact,
Albie has a long list of the things he's not very good at. But then Albie gets a new babysitter, Calista, who helps him figure out all of the things he is good at
and how he can take pride in himself.
A perfect companion to Lisa Graff's National Book Award-nominated A Tangle of Knots, this novel explores a similar theme in a realistic contemporary
world where kids will easily be able to relate their own struggles to Albie's. Great for fans of Rebecca Stead's Liar and Spy, RJ Palacio's Wonder and Cynthia

rumors that a neighbor's death may not have been accidental, and the appearance on the moors of a mysterious and handsome stranger. The girls have a lot of

It's senior year at St. Joan's Academy, and school is a pressure cooker. College applications, the battle for valedictorian, deciphering boys' texts: Through it
all, Colleen Rowley and her friends are expected to keep it together. Until they can't.
First it's the school's queen bee, Clara Rutherford, who suddenly falls into uncontrollable tics in the middle of class. Her mystery illness quickly spreads to
her closest clique of friends, then more students and symptoms follow: seizures, hair loss, violent coughing fits. St. Joan's buzzes with rumor; rumor
blossoms into full-blown panic.
Soon the media descends on Danvers, Massachusetts, as everyone scrambles to find something, or someone, to blame. Pollution? Stress? Or are the girls
faking? Only Colleen--who's been reading The Crucible for extra credit--comes to realize what nobody else has: Danvers was once Salem Village, where
another group of girls suffered from a similarly bizarre epidemic three centuries ago . . .
Inspired by true events--from seventeenth-century colonial life to the halls of a modern-day high school--Conversion casts a spell. With her signature wit

Originally published in 1982, 'Domestic Arrangements' is the story of a fourteen-year-old New York teen named Tatiana, an unintentional ingenue who
becomes notorious for filming a nude scene for a major movie. Tatiana's newfound fame-which includes interviews, magazine covers, and publicists-is set
against the backdrop of an increasingly adult personal life, as her parents file for divorce, her sister becomes increasingly jealous of her sibling's success, and
she must choose between her teenage boyfriend and new, older loves. A stunning example of Norma Klein's fearless take on the complexities of adolescence,
'Domestic Arrangements' is an indelible portrait of a girl on the cusp of adulthood, learning to balance the challenges of life in the spotlight with love,
family, and friendship. This edition features a brand new introduction by Norma's long-time friend, renowned children's author Judy Blume. Norma Klein
was best known for young adult works that dealt with family problems, childhood and adolescent sexuality, as well as social issues like racism, sexism, and
contraception. Her first novel, 'Mom, the Wolf Man and Me' (1972), was about the daughter of an unmarried, sexually active woman. Her subsequent works

City apartment building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide blackout. After they're rescued, Lucy and Owen spend the night wandering the
darkened streets and marveling at the rare appearance of stars above Manhattan. But once the power is back, so is reality. Lucy soon moves abroad with her
parents, while Owen heads out west with his father.
The brief time they spend together leaves a mark. And as their lives take them to Edinburgh and to San Francisco, to Prague and to Portland, Lucy and
Owen stay in touch through postcards, occasional e-mails, and phone calls. But can they -- despite the odds -- find a way to reunite?

She has only seen the world through maps. She had no idea they were so dangerous.
Boston, 1891. Sophia Tims comes from a family of explorers and cartologers who, for generations, have been traveling and mapping the New World--a
world changed by the Great Disruption of 1799, when all the continents were flung into different time periods. Eight years ago, her parents left her with her
uncle Shadrack, the foremost cartologer in Boston, and went on an urgent mission. They never returned. Life with her brilliant, absent-minded, adored uncle
has taught Sophia to take care of herself.
Then Shadrack is kidnapped. And Sophia, who has rarely been outside of Boston, is the only one who can search for him. Together with Theo, a refugee
from the West, she travels over rough terrain and uncharted ocean, encounters pirates and traders, and relies on a combination of Shadrack's maps, common
sense, and her own slantwise powers of observation. But even as Sophia and Theo try to save Shadrack's life, they are in danger of losing their own.
The Glass Sentence plunges readers into a time and place they will not want to leave, and introduces them to a heroine and hero they will take to their
hearts. It is a remarkable debut.

you stop the coming war. Only the Garde can save our planet.
Perfectly timed to get readers excited for the fifth book in the I Am Number Four series and custom-made for those die-hard fans who loved the first six
novellas--Six's Legacy, Nine's Legacy, The Fallen Legacies, The Search for Sam, The Last Days of Lorien and The Forgotten Ones--this bindup includes the

Anna Eliot is tired of worrying about what other people think. After all, that was how she lost the only guy she ever really liked. Back in freshman year she
was too embarrassed to admit to her friends that she liked skinny, nerdy Finn Westbrook. Then his family moved away, and all Anna had left was regret.
Now it's senior year, and Finn is back. Anna can't believe her luck-maybe now she'll get the chance to relive their last kiss again (and again and again). But
he obviously hasn't forgotten how she treated him, and while this newly confident, adorable Finn is happy to flirt with all of Anna's friends, he makes it clear
he has no interest in having anything to do with her.
Anna keeps trying to persuade herself that she doesn't care about Finn either, but even though they've both changed since they first met, deep down she
knows he's the guy for her. Now if only she can get him to believe that, too . . .

A touchingly honest, candidly hysterical memoir from breakout teen author Maya Van Wagenen
Stuck at the bottom of the social ladder at "pretty much the lowest level of people at school who aren't paid to be here," Maya Van Wagenen decided to
begin a unique social experiment: spend the school year following a 1950s popularity guide, written by former teen model Betty Cornell. Can curlers,
girdles, Vaseline, and a strand of pearls help Maya on her quest to be popular?
The real-life results are painful, funny, and include a wonderful and unexpected surprise--meeting and befriending Betty Cornell herself. Told with
humor and grace, Maya's journey offers readers of all ages a thoroughly contemporary example of kindness and self-confidence.

author of The Book of Broken Hearts and Bittersweet.
Lucy's learned some important lessons from tabloid darling Jayla Heart's all-too-public blunders: Avoid the spotlight, don't feed the Internet trolls, and keep
your secrets secret. The policy has served Lucy well all through high school, so when her best friend Ellie gets sick before prom and begs her to step in as
Cole's date, she accepts with a smile, silencing about ten different reservations. Like the one where she'd rather stay home shredding online zombies. And
especially the one where she's been secretly in love with Cole since the dawn of time. When Cole surprises her at the after-party with a kiss under the stars,
it's everything Lucy has ever dreamed of...and the biggest BFF dealbreaker ever. But before they get the chance to 'fess up to Ellie, Lucy's own Facebook
profile mysteriously explodes with compromising photos of her and Cole, along with tons of other students' party indiscretions. Tagged. Liked. And
furiously viral. By Monday morning, Lucy's been branded a slut, a backstabber, and a narc mired in a tabloid-worthy scandal, just weeks before graduation.
Lucy's been battling undead masses online long enough to know that there's only one way to survive a disaster of this magnitude: Stand up and fight. There's
just one snag--Cole. Turns out Lucy's not the only one who's been harboring unrequited love...

Award-winning author Leslie Connor brings her lyrical writing to the contemporary teen market with this romantic, gritty, and heart-breaking story of a high
school girl who falls in love with a 23-year-old guy while attempting to navigate a difficult relationship with the high school basketball star.
Bettina Vasilis can hardly believe it when basketball star Brady Cullen asks her out, and she just about faints when her strict father actually approves of him.
Over the course of the summer, Bettina falls in love with Brady...and with the new freedom that comes along with him.
But when school starts up again, Brady changes. What happened to the sweet boy she fell in love with? Then she meets a smoldering guy in his twenties and
this "cowboy" is everything Brady is not--gentle, caring, and interested in getting to know the real Bettina, or "Beta" as he nicknames her.
Bettina knows that breaking up with Brady would mean losing her freedom--and that it would be inappropriate for anything to happen between her and
Cowboy. Still, she can't help that her breath catches when he smiles, or that she longs for the scent of his auto shop whenever she's anywhere else.
When tragedy strikes, Bettina must tell her family the truth--and kiss goodbye the things she thought she knew about herself and the men in her life.
Leslie Connor has written a lyrical, heart-breaking, and ultimately hopeful story about family, romance, and the immense power of love.

Opposites attract--and then complicate--in this romantic, relatable novel from the author of Two-way Street and Sometimes It Happens.
It starts with a scribbled note in class: I like your sparkle. Harper had casually threaded a piece of blue and silver tinsel through her ponytail in honor of
school spirit day. And that carefree, corny gesture is what grabs Penn Mattingly's eye. Penn--resident heartbreaker of the senior class. Reliably unreliable.
Trouble with a capital "T." And okay, smolderingly sexy. Harper's surprised by Penn's attention--and so is Penn. The last thing he needs is a girlfriend. Or
even a friend-with-benefits. The note is not supposed to lead to anything. Oh, but it does. They hang out. They have fun. They talk. They make out. And after
a while, it seems like they just click. But Penn and Harper have very different ideas about what relationships look like, in no small part because of their very
different family backgrounds. Of course they could talk about these differences--if Penn knew how to talk about feelings. Harper and Penn understand their
attraction is illogical, yet something keeps pulling them together. It's like a crazy roller coaster--exhilarating, terrifying, and amazing all at once. And neither
knows how to stop the ride...

Jim. Ellie finds it hard to think of his name now. After their wonderful time in Quebec City, that awful night happened. The screams, the bodies, the frigid
waters ... she tries hard to tell herself that he survived, but it's hard to believe when so many didn't. So when Wyatt Steele, journalist at The New York Times

she had fallen in love with, or perhaps a clue to what happened to him. There's only one catch: she will have to tell her story to Steele and he'll "pay" her

In this fast-paced adventure set in Mexico, teen celebrity Vivian Divine goes on the run after receiving a death threat, and discovers that everything she
thought she knew about her charmed life--and the boy she loves--is a lie. Filled with surprising twists and poignant moments, Lauren Sabel brings a fresh
new voice to contemporary fiction. Creepy, clever, funny, and romantic.
Teen celebrity Vivian Divine's movie-star mom has been kidnapped and murdered, her famous-director dad tried to kill himself, and her boyfriend is
cheating on her with her best friend. She can practically hear wannabe screenwriters penning bad TV movies about her tragic life.
When a death threat arrives with her fan mail, Vivian has no choice but to go on the run to Mexico. She soon discovers, though, that her Oscar-nominated
performance killing villains on screen did nothing to prepare her for escaping a madman in real life. Some people say he's a hero, others tremble in his
presence, but one thing is clear: he won't stop until Vivian is in his grasp. Why didn't she pay more attention during those judo lessons for her role in Zombie
Killer?
Vivian finds an ally in the mysterious and charming Nick. He is everything Hollywood boys are not--genuine, kind, and determined to see Vivian for who
she really is. But even he seems like he can't be trusted-what could he be hiding?
Beat up, hungry, and more confused than ever about who she's running from, Vivian realizes this isn't the stuff bad TV movies are made of; this is material
for a full-on blockbuster horror flick...and that there's no option to yell "cut" like there is on set....
Lauren Sabel's Vivian Divine is Dead is a creepy, witty, fast-paced adventure about family, fame, and having the courage to save yourself.

member discovers a clue that may hold the cure to the Sickness, five teens set out on a life-altering road trip to save humankind.

Faye is the "good" adopted Chinese daughter. Bev is the wild child. Mannie is the unambitious stoner. What brings them together--and tears them apart--is a
need to move beyond the clichés and commit to something--anything--that will bring meaning and joy to their lives.
When Faye's long-lost childhood neighbor, Bev, turns up out of the blue, wanting something from her old friend, Faye goes along with Bev's plan. But
Mannie, the joyriding daddy of Bev's baby, has a half-crazed romantic agenda of his own. As one cold, miserable prairie spring inches toward summer, a
series of unexpected and sometimes explosive decisions sends the trio hurtling toward disaster. A darkly funny portrayal of three unforgettable teenagers
feeling their way into adulthood in an imperfect world.

Darren Shan's thrilling 12-part "horror with a social conscience" series continues.
"In my experience, people are pretty much the same wherever you go-decent, honest folk who care about family and friends, welcome strangers and only
want the good things from life. But certain sections of our society and media want us to believe differently. They try to paint certain groups as vicious
threats, to tar all people of a certain race or religion with the same brush.
Of course that's nonsense, yet many people believe the lies, especially people who (like me when I was younger) don't travel much or get to mingle with
people from other cultures. I felt I had to do what I could to get young readers to question the ways of their elders, to decide for themselves what is right or
wrong, to look for the truth behind the cloud of lies. The main message I wanted to impart was: question everything! But I didn't want to write a dry, serious,
message-laden book about racism. That's not my style. It needed to be an exciting, fast-paced, action-packed story. I remembered how George A. Romero
had used zombies to hold a mirror up to society in his early films and felt that I could do something similar, use them as a way to get us thinking about the
real monsters in our midst." - Darren Shan
