Finding the Worm (Twerp Sequel)
Mark Goldblatt
In this sequel to Twerp, Julian returns to tell another unforgettable coming-of-age
audio about friendship. Perfect for fans of Jerry Spinelli and Rebecca Stead.
Some tests just aren't fair...Julian Twerski is in a pickle. He's been accused of
vandalizing a painting at school, and the guidance counselor is forcing him to stay after
until he writes his confession. Writing the confession would be an easy way out, but why
confess to something he didn't do? Besides, he has bigger things to worry about, like
Beverly Segal, a girl he likes, challenging him to a race, his impending bar mitzvah and
becoming a man, and using the New York Yankees to help his friend Quentin get better.
How can life be fair when the nicest guy in your group is the one who gets cancer?

A hilarious sequel to the beloved Odyssey Award winner The True Meaning of
Smekday by Adam Rex.
The Boov have left Earth to settle on a fixer-upper moon that orbits Saturn, and J. Lo
wants to visit. But the Boov still think of him as a wanted criminal--for accidentally

Think you know the story of the three bears? Now imagine how it would sound if
Jane Austen had written it...
Ursula is a young bear of modest means who has come to work as governess at the
Vaughn estate. She's never been so far from home, and she is frightened, especially
when inexplicable things happen in the huge house after dark. Ursula is sure she has
seen a human child with golden hair lurking in the shadows. As Ursula works to unravel
the mysteries of Vaughn manor, she finds herself facing ever more challenging
complications from both without and within. The forest is enchanted, yes, but also
threatening, and Ursula will have to grow up fast if she is to navigate her new world, find
true love, and save a little girl the fairy tale world will come to know as "Goldilocks."
________________________
KEY POINTS/QUOTES:
A GORGEOUS DEBUT: With lush writing that brings to mind the beloved novels of Jane
Austen, Katherine Coville (wife of bestselling author Bruce Coville) bursts onto the scene with
this vivid reimagining of Goldilocks and the three bears.
FRACTURED FAIRY TALES CONTINUE TO THRIVE: Fans of Adam Gidwitz, Michael Buckley,
Shannon Hale, Catherynne Valente, Gail Carson Levine, Ed Baker, and Brandon Mull will be
charmed by this reimagination of a classic fairy tale.
UNIQUE ANGLE: Katherine charters new territory by using the Three Bears as her jumping off
point, and keeping anthropomorphic animals center stage.
WIDE APPEAL: Younger listeners will enjoy the twist on Goldilocks as well as identifying the
other fairytale characters who make cameos throughout (the Bremantown Musicians; Old Lady
in a Shoe; the Pied Piper). Older listeners will appreciate the intricate relationships (Ursula and
Mr. Bentley's flirtation is Jane Austen swoon-worthy!) and the story's deeper themes of racial
(animal vs. human) bigotry.

A refreshing, whimsical first-time collaboration by award-winning author Joanne
Ryder and two-time Newbery Honor author and Wilder awardee, Laurence Yep.
To train your pet, you will need three things: Patience, Patience, and above all,
Patience!
Unknown to ordinary San Franciscans, their beautiful city is home to many magical
and fantastic creatures, hidden beneath the parks, among the clouds, and even in plain
sight. None of these creatures is more amazing than a cranky, ageless dragon, Miss
Drake, who has a weakness for humans...as her pets. But her latest, a bossy
10-year-old girl named Winnie, seems to think the dragon is her pet.
As these two feisty females work out their differences, they find themselves in the
face of an extraordinary challenge. Winnie, a talented artist, has taken to drawing every
new magical creature she encounters: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Little does she
know her sketchbook is enchanted with the ability to bring these sketches to life, setting
them loose on the streets of San Francisco. It will take the combination of Winnie's
smarts and Miss Drake's magic to get those creatures back where they belong...before
it's too late. As the balance of magic is upset in the City by the Bay, Miss Drake and
Winnie team up to restore order in ways wonderful, witty, and wise.

A Mary Poppins for the next generation from the bestselling author/illustrator of

Nestled inside a lighthouse, Great Rapscott School for the Daughters of Busy
Parents takes its motto from Amelia Earhart: "Adventure is worthwhile in itself."
Headmistress extraordinaire Ms. Rapscott couldn't agree more. But her students, who
arrive via boxes, could use a little convincing. Still, despite their initial reluctance to
embrace Ms. Rapscott's unconventional methods, the students are soon soaring
through the sky and getting lost on purpose. In addition to learning what birthday cakes
are and how best to approach a bumbershoot tree, the students also manage to learn a
little something about courage, strength, and bravery. After all, Ms. Rapscott wouldn't
have it any other way.

"Some things could only be found in Sidwell it seemed: pink apples, black owls, and
my brother, James."
Twelve-year-old Twig's town in the Berkshires is said to hide a winged beast, the
Monster of Sidwell, and the rumors draw as many tourists as the town's famed pink
apple orchards. Twig lives on the orchard with her mysterious brother James and her
reclusive mother, a baker of irresistible apple pies. Because of a family secret, an
ancient curse, Twig has had to isolate herself from other kids. Then a family with two
girls, Julia and Agate, moves into the cottage next door. They are descendants of the
powerful witch who put the spell on Twig's family. But Julia turns out to be Twig's first
true friend, and her ally in trying to undo the curse and smooth the path to true love for
Agate and James.

The thrilling finale to the New York Times bestselling Virals series.
The Virals are back, but they're not the only pack in town anymore. Book Five in the
Virals series finds Tory Brennan, grandniece of the famous forensic anthropologist, and
the rest of the Morris Island gang tracking a pack of rogue Virals who call themselves the
Trinity. The new pack was infected by a strain of supervirus created by Tory's nemesis
and sometimes-crush, Chance Clayborne, who accidentally infected himself, too.
These red-eyed Virals have openly challenged Tory's pack for domination of
Charleston, bringing on the attention of a shadowy government organization intent on
learning the secret to their powers. Tory's got secrets of her own, too: she's grappling
with feelings for Ben while navigating renewed interest from Chance, who's helping the
Morris Island kids hunt down the Trinity. Surviving it all is going to test the limits of the
gang's abilities.

An emotionally-charged, uplifting novel about a girl whose greatest fear is that
everyone will find out she is as dumb as they think she is because she still
doesn't know how to read.
Ally has a secret: she can't read. She's made it all the way to fifth grade without
anyone knowing, having learned to hide it by acting out and using bad behavior to
distract her teachers. Moving a lot has also helped her keep her secret. But now she's in
a new school, with a new teacher who really wants to figure her out. Mr. Daniels is also
on to the class bully Shay. For the first time, Ally wants to impress her teacher, but it's
not so easy when she has come to believe she is as dumb as the other kids say she is.
When Mr. Daniels juggles the class seating around, Ally makes her first friend, and
begins to discover she has a number of talents. With Mr. Daniels' help, she learns she
has dyslexia, and that it's nothing to be ashamed about. As he starts her on the path to
finally learning to read, and with her new friends at her side, her world starts opening up
with possibilities, ones she's finally able to imagine now that she's looking past
appearances to see what makes people unique on the inside, including herself.

THE FORBIDDEN LIBRARY kicks off a brand new fantasy series perfect for fans of
Coraline, Inkheart, and The Books of Elsewhere.
When Alice's father goes down in a shipwreck, she is sent to live with her uncle
Geryon, an uncle she's never heard of and knows nothing about. Geryon turns out to be
a mysterious and ancient man who lives in an enormous manor that includes an
impossibly massive library that is off-limits to Alice. But then she meets a talking cat.
And even for a rulefollower, when a talking cat sneaks you into a forbidden library and
introduces you to an arrogant boy named Isaac who dares you to open a book, it's hard
to resist. Especially if you're a reader to begin with. Soon Alice finds herself inside the
book, and the only way out is by conquering the creature imprisoned within. Looks like
Alice is a Reader (with a capital R), just like Geryon. All of magic is controlled through
books, and Alice hopes that by playing along with Geryon's plans for her, she can find
out exactly what happened to the father she adores. But Geryon may not be who he
claims, and he may not have the power that he thinks he does.

Take one part Roald Dahl, add a pinch of Mysterious Benedict Society and a dash
of Lemony Snicket. Mix with Holly Grant's unforgettable storytelling, and you get
this quirky, smart, deliciously funny middle grade debut!
After Anastasia McCrumpet's parents die in a tragic vacuum-cleaner accident, she's
rescued by two long lost great-aunties and taken to their delightful and, er, "authentic"
Victorian home, St. Agony's Asylum for the Criminally Insane. There, Anastasia's loving
aunties give her everything a little girl could want: a cozy bedroom (with a creepy
child-shaped hollow in its rotting cot), sumptuous meals (Mmmmm! Mystery Lumps!),
and character-building responsibilities (catching leeches and polishing chamber pots!).
But Anastasia can't help notice that something strange is going on at the asylum. What's
this mysterious C.R.U.D. organization she hears whispers of? Is it odd that her Aunties
wear the same ring as the evil school secretary? And why, for goodness sake, do they
collect pictures of missing children? Anastasia soon begins to suspect that her aunties
are not who they say they are. So when she meets Ollie and Quentin, two magical
brothers hidden in the depths of the asylum, the three join forces as the League of
Beastly Dreadfuls to plot their great escape.

It's been five years since the Penderwicks took their vacation to Maine. Batty and her

It's almost spring, and it's time for new things: new rocks for Ben's collection, a new
talent for Batty, and a new princess crown for two-year-old Lydia, the baby of the family.
One thing it is NOT time for is a new dog. Now that the ever-loyal Hound is gone, Batty
doesn't even want to look at another animal. Until she gets roped into walking the
neighbor's overweight pooch, Duchess, and quickly, if by accident, seems to have set up
her very own dog-walking business.

The third and final Misadventure of Edgar and Allan Poe, a trilogy just right for
smart (but not snarky) tweens!
In The Tell-Tale Start, twins Edgar and Allan Poe foiled the nefarious Professor
Perry, who wanted to use them in his deadly quantum entanglement experiment. In
Once Upon a Midnight Eerie, they took on his equally evil mother and daughter. Now, in
THE PET AND THE PENDULUM, it's time for the real showdown, which takes place in
an old mansion right outside Baltimore. As with the first two audiobooks, THE PET AND
THE PENDULUM is filled with codes, brain-teasers, smart (not snarky) humor, and
cameos by the actual Edgar Allan Poe, who's watching over his great-greatgreat-nephews from the Great Beyond.
________________________
KEY POINTS/QUOTES:
GRAND FINALE: This is the highly anticipated final audiobook in this series which has been well
received by educators, librarians, and kid listeners.
STAR NARRATOR ARTE JOHNSON RETURNING: The Tell-Tale Start swept Publishers
Weekly's Listen Up Awards--Best Children's/YA, Best Narrator, and Best of the Year!
GUYS LISTEN PICK: Coded messages, narrative asides and slam-bang plot will keep boys
interested. Edgar and Allan look alike, think alike, and are smart troublemakers. Throw in loads
of laugh-out-loud humor and boy listeners will be sold! Girls will love it, too.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW POE: Even though his work is mentioned throughout (and he
appears as a character, along with Shakespeare), you don't need to know a thing about Edgar
Allan Poe's work to enjoy the ride. (But smart listeners will want to!)
CROSS-PROMOTION: Simultaneous with the Viking Juvenile hardcover, 978-0-6707-8492-9.
Praise for The Tell-Tale Start:
"Narrator Arte Johnson delivers a splendid reading...Endlessly fun and ultimately very
satisfying on every level, this recording is a must-have for both diehard Poe fans and
those just discovering his work."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Arte Johnson's hearty voice creates a sense of edginess in this mystery...[his] assumed
British accent and dry delivery bring out the wit in the repartee between Shakespeare
and Poe."--AudioFile
Author Residence: California
In addition to Edgar and Allan Poe's Misadventures, GORDON MCALPINE is the author
of three adult novels.

Teens may not be surprised by it, but will nonetheless enjoy the dark adventure and
romance."--School Library Journal
"British narrator McEwan handles French, American, Scottish, and British accents with
aplomb and is particularly adept at conveying changing teen emotions. Teen girls will eat
this up!"--Booklist

THE GIRL AT MIDNIGHT is the story of a modern girl caught in the tangle of an
ancient war.
Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with
feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep
them hidden from humans. All but one. Echo is a runaway pickpocket who survives by
selling stolen treasures on the black market, and the Avicen are the only family she's
ever known. Echo is clever and daring, and can be brash, but above all else she's
fiercely loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she
decides it's time to act. Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for
all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the
world has never seen. It will be no easy task, but if life as a thief has taught Echo
anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants...and how to take it. But some jobs aren't
as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire.
