Class Pet Squad by Dan Yaccarino
Feiwel & Friends
June 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ½; 160 pp.; Ages 6-10; 2c Art; Editor: Liz Szabla
Every school needs a little help now and then, especially PS 1000. Sure, just like your school,
PS 1000 has teachers, a principal, and the school’s maintenance crew, who all keep everything
running smoothly, but they don’t do it alone!
Who do you think makes sure everyone gets back on the bus after a class trip? Who doesn’t
let the scenery in the school play accidentally fall over? Who fights off a gang of rampaging
squirrels trying to steal chocolate pudding cups from the cafeteria for tomorrow’s lunch?
The Class Pet Squad, that’s who! And when a student leaves his beloved action figure behind
in class, the CPS - a hamster, a turtle, a rabbit, and a lizard - have to find a way to get it back,
even if it means crossing paths with a dog, and worse, a CAT.
Dan Yaccarino is the author and illustrator of numerous picture books, including Every Friday
and Unlovable. He’s also the creator of the hit animated TV series Oswald and Willa’s Wild Life
and the character designer behind The Backyardigans.
Bunjitsu Bunny’s Best Move by John Himmelman
Henry Holt Books for Young Readers
October 2015; 5 ½ x 8; 128 pp.; Ages 6-8; 2c Art; Editor: Kate Farrell
Isabel is back! The best bunjitsu artist in her class, she can throw farther, kick higher, and hit
harder than anybunny else. But her strongest weapon is her mind!
With even more fun, adventures, and wisdom than before, author/artist John Himmelman
continues to charm in this beguilingly funny series of adventures.
John Himmelman is the author and illustrator of more than seventy-five books for children,
including Tales of Bunjitsu Bunny. He is also the author of Chickens to the Rescue and Katie
Loves the Kittens. As a martial arts student and instructor, he has a lot of experience with the

My Pet Human by Yasmine Surovec
Roaring Brook Press
August 2015; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 112 pp.; Ages 6-10; B&W Art; Editor: Katherine Jacobs
Oliver is an independent kitty. He has his run of the neighborhood and looks at his animal
friends with their fussing humans with pity. But when a freckle-faced girl moves into town,
Oliver sees the opportunity to train a human to provide him with a few creature comforts. And
if he can help her adjust to her new life and make a friend, that’s just all in a day’s work. The
real surprise comes, however, when Oliver needs Freckles just as much as she needs him.

My Pet Human Takes Center Stage
Roaring Brook Press
August 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 112 pp.; Ages 6-10; B&W Art; Editor: Katherine Jacobs
Freckles is new at school and Oliver wants to be sure she finds her niche. So when she joins
the pet club and they’re putting on a talent show to raise money for the local animal shelter,
Oliver has no choice but to help out. But when Freckles takes in a foster kitten, Oliver seriously
reconsiders his opinion of the club. Turns out, while Oliver values his independence, he’s not so
eager to give up being center stage. Not a comic book and not a traditional illustrated chapter
book, the My Pet Human series is truly a hybrid of text and art that could only come from the
whimsical and brilliant mind of Yasmine Surovec.
Yasmine Surovec loves kitties. She is the artist behind the popular comic blog and book Cat vs.
Human and the picture books I See Kitty and A Bed for Kitty.

Rebel Genius: Geniuses Book 1 by Michael DiMartino
Roaring Brook Press
October 2016, 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 368 pp; Ages 8-12; B&W Art; Editor: Connie Hsu
Giacomo is a 12-year-old orphan trying to survive in a Renaissance-like fantasy world where art
equals power, and all artists have Geniuses, a living creature that embodies the artist’s creative
spirit. But art is also dangerous. A new leader is killing off Geniuses to gain supreme power, and
once a Genius is destroyed, so is its artist.
When Giacomo discovers he has a Genius, he knows he’s in trouble. Luckily, he finds a secret studio
where young artists train in sacred geometry to use their art as weapons. But when the children
learn that a rogue artist is after the three Sacred Tools - objects that would allow him to create
an indestructible army - they must set out on a life or death adventure to stop him.
Magic, mystery, and math come together in this enthralling, page-turning new series.
Michael DiMartino co-created the award-winning animated Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last
Airbender and its sequel, The Legend of Korra. The Geniuses series is his debut prose work.
Book 2 coming in Fall 2017 and Book 3 in Fall 2018.

320 pp.; Ages 8-12; Editor: Connie Hsu
When 12-year-old Patrick Griffin passes out after a chemistry experiment gone bad, he
finds himself in a strange parallel world, where everyone has huge eyes, tiny ears, and is
addicted to “binkies,” their iPhone-like devices. At first Patrick thinks this is all a weird
dream. But when he’s pulled into a rebellion to overthrow the government, he wakes up to an
adventure beyond his wildest imagination.
Meanwhile, a huge rabbit-like creature named Mr. BunBun is roaming through Patrick’s
hometown, leaving a trail of chaos behind it. Its mission? To save Earth from imminent doom.
Hilarious, smart, and wholly imaginative, this series launch reads like Douglas Adams and Kurt
Vonnegut got together to write a middle grade sci-fi/fantasy adventure!
Ned Rust is the co-author of two books in the Daniel X series and Witch and Wizard: The
Gift with James Patterson.

The Book Scavenger
macmillan children’s publishing group
by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman
Christy Ottaviano Books/Henry Holt Books for Young Readers
June 2015; 5 x 7 3/4; 368 pp.; Ages 8-12; Editor: Christy Ottaviano
For twelve-year-old Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that it’s the home
city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and creator of the online sensation
Book Scavenger (a game where books are hidden in cities all over the country and clues to find
them are revealed through puzzles).
Upon arriving, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked, and no one knows
anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch. Then Emily and her new
friend James discover an odd book, which they come to believe is from Griswold himself. Racing
against time, Emily and James try to uncover the secret at the heart of Griswold’s new game
...before Griswold’s attackers find them.
The Unbreakable Code: Book Scavenger #2
Christy Ottaviano Books/Henry Holt Books for Young Readers
Winter 2017; 5 x 5 3/4, 368 pp.; Ages 8-12; Editor: Christy Ottaviano
Emily and James’s teacher Mr. Quisling is up to something mysterious. First, there’s the scrap
of a map he leaves at a book event. Then she and James discover their teacher has been
receiving encrypted messages in a series of Mark Twain books hidden through Book
Scavenger. When Emily and James decipher the messages, they begin to suspect Mr.
Quisling is hunting a long-rumored treasure of buried gold. Intrigued by this prospect and
what it could mean for her family’s financial struggles, Emily and James set out to best
their teacher. But when they research Mark Twain and the Gold Rush era, they learn
about a serial arsonist from the 1800s who called himself The Lightkeeper, and the
seemingly unrelated string of arson fires around San Francisco suddenly seem more
ominous. Especially when they realize the fires have been set in the exact locations where Mr.
Quisling found the Mark Twain books. Is a copycat Lightkeeper trying to stop Mr. Quisling?
Or could Mr. Quisling himself be the arsonist?
By the time Emily and James uncover the answers, much more is at stake than whether or
not Emily will have to move again.
Jennifer Chambliss Bertman holds an MFA in creative writing, and has worked for literary
agencies, magazines, educational publishers, and as a freelance copyeditor and proofreader.

The Ones by Daniel Sweren-Becker
Imprint September 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 320 pp; Ages 15 & Up; Editor: Erin Stein
Cody has always been proud of being a One. She and her boyfriend James were two of
the lucky babies from the 1% of the U.S. population that were randomly selected to
benefit from genetic engineering. They are healthy, beautiful, and talented. They aren’t
otherworldly, just perfect. And to some, that’s not fair. The Equality Movement, capitalizing
on growing fear and jealousy, gains political traction and actually outlaws their existence.
Society shows its darker side as The Ones are marginalized. The line between right and wrong
blurs in the face of injustice and Cody becomes closer to a group of radical Ones intent on
fighting back. James begins to fear just how far she is willing to go for the cause. The Ones combines current events with frightening aspects of our past to create an all-tooeasy-to-imagine reality. Thought provoking, thrilling, and complex, the first in this explosive
new young adult series will appeal to fans of Divergent and The Fifth Wave.
Daniel Sweren-Becker is an author, television writer and playwright living in Los Angeles and

Freaked out and shell-shocked, Sharkey stops speaking aloud and withdraws from both friends
and family. He spends countless hours holed up in his room, obsessively watching intense
documentaries about sharks and climate change - and texting his dead friend. At her wits
end, Sharkey’s confused mom sends him to stay with his father - from whom he has been
estranged - on an abandoned island in Canada over the summer, where his dad is the caretaker.
Thus begins the start of a summer that will change everything. Over the weeks, Sharkey gets
to know his dad and meets a girl who teaches him how to move past his loss - and shows him
how to live again.

Devon has life pretty much figured out: she’s got her best friend Cas, her secret crush
(also Cas), and her comfortable routine (mostly spent with Cas). New experiences: not
welcome here. But as she enters her senior year, her parents take in her cousin Foster,
an undersized weirdo who shows an unexpected talent for football, and star running
back Ezra takes Foster under his wing. Devon can’t figure out how she feels about Ezra.
He’s obviously stuck-up, but Foster adores him. Ezra has nothing to say to her, but he
keeps seeking her out. And...Devon might actually like him. If only she can admit it to
herself.
Funny, fresh, and layered, First & Then proves that change doesn’t always tear things apart

Saving Montgomery Sole by Mariko Tamaki
Roaring Brook Press
April 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 288 pp.; Ages 12 & Up; Editor: Connie Hsu
Montgomery Sole is a square peg in a small town, forced to go to a school full of jocks and girls
who don’t even know what irony is. It would all be impossible if it weren’t for her best friends,
Thomas and Naoki. The three are also the only members of Jefferson High’s Mystery Club,
dedicated to exploring the weird and unexplained, from ESP and astrology to super powers and
mysterious objects.
Then there’s the Eye of Know, the possibly powerful crystal amulet Monty bought online. Will
it help her predict the future or fight back against the ignorant jerks who make fun of Thomas
for being gay or Monty for having two moms? Maybe the Eye is here just in time, because the
newest resident of their small town is scarier than mothmen, poltergeists, or, you know, gym.
Thoughtful, funny, and painfully honest, Montgomery Sole is someone you’ll want to laugh and
cry with over a big cup of frozen yogurt with extra toppings.
Mariko Tamaki is the coauthor of This One Summer, the first book to be recognized as both a
Printz Honor and a Caldecott Honor.

Hillary Rodham Clinton: A Woman Living History
by Karen Blumenthal
Feiwel & Friends
January 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 320 pp.; Ages 12 & Up; B&W Art; Editor: Christine Barcellona
As a young girl in the fifties, Hillary Rodham had an unusual upbringing. Her parents told
her, “You can do or be whatever you choose, as long as you’re willing to work for it.” Hillary
took those words and ran. Whether it was campaigning at the age of thirteen in the 1964
presidential election, being featured in LIFE magazine as the first student commencement
speaker at Wellesley, or graduating from Yale Law School, she always stood out.
And that was only the beginning. Today, we have seen Hillary in many roles. From First Lady
of the United States to the first female Senator of New York and most recently as the United
States Secretary of State. An activist all her life, she has been devoted to health care reform,
child care, and women’s rights, among others. And she’s still not done.
Karen Blumenthal is a long-time journalist for the Wall Street Journal and the author of Steve
Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different.

Did you know that there’s evidence that makeup is older than the wheel? Or that when Marie
Curie discovered radium, cosmetics companies marketed it as a healthy way to make your skin
glow? Throughout history, men, women, and children have worn make-up for many reasons:
to show social status, to express political opinions, and just for style. Through a combination
of ancient home remedy recipes, famous images from art history, and amusing anecdotes,
Strange Beauty shows what makeup can reveal about the people who wear it.
Joanne Oppenheim is the author of more than fifty books for and about children. In addition, she
is the president and cofounder of Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Inc. One of the country’s most
highly regarded child development experts, Oppenheim is seen regularly on NBC’s Today show,

wheels are rusty. With a little help from his grandfather, the boy patches Red right up and all
the while, his grandfather tells him about the adventures that he and Red used to have.

“The beauty and construction of the Nameless City will leave you breathless. Faith has created
a world so detailed and believable, it makes me want to explore the back alleys to see what is
there.” - Jeff Smith, author of the Bone series
The City has many names, and no name. Every nation that invades and occupies the City gives
it a new name. But none of these invaders stay long. To the natives, their home is the Nameless
City. It doesn’t need a name - and people who try to give it one are, forever, outsiders. Kaidu
is one such outsider. He’s a Dao born and bred - a member of the occupying nation. Rat is a
native of the Nameless City. At first, she hates Kai for everything he stands for, but his love of
his new home may bring these two unlikely friends together. Let’s hope so, because the fate
of the Nameless City rests in their hands.
From New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award Wining author-illustrator Faith Erin Hicks

Paperback: February 2016; 7 ½ x 10; 144 pp.; Ages 7-10; Editor: Calista Brill
Bera doesn’t ask for much in life. She’s a solitary, humble troll, tending her island pumpkin
patch in cheerful isolation. She isn’t looking for any trouble.
But when trouble comes to find her, it comes in spades. A human baby has arrived in the
realm of the trolls, and nobody knows where it came from, but Bera seems to be the only
one who doesn’t want it dead. There’s nothing to it but to return the adorable little thing
to its parents. Like it or not, Bera’s gone and found herself a quest.

The Great Pet Escape by Victoria Jamieson
Henry Holt Books for Young Readers
February 2016; 6 x 9; 64pp.; Ages 6-10; Editor: Kate Farrell
The class pets at Daisy P. Flugelhorn Elementary School want OUT...and GW (short for
George Washington), the deceptively cute hamster in the second-grade classroom,
is just the guy to lead the way. But when he finally escapes and goes to find his former
partners in crime, Barry and Biter, he finds that they actually LIKE being class pets. Impossible!
Just as GW gets Barry and Biter to agree to leave with him, a mouse named Harriet and
her many mouse minions get in their way. What follows is class-pet chaos guaranteed to
make readers giggle...and maybe look at their class pets a little differently in the future.
Victoria Jamieson is the author and illustrator of several books for children, including the New
York Times bestseller Roller Girl.
Great Pet Escape #2 coming in Spring 2017.
Human Body Theater
by Maris Wicks
First Second
Paperback: October 2015; 6 x 8 ½; 240 pp.; Ages 10 & Up; Editor: Calista Brill
Welcome to the Human Body Theater, where your master of ceremonies is going to lead you
through a theatrical revue of each and every biological system of the human body! Starting
out as a skeleton, the MC puts on a new layer of her costume (her body) with each “act.” By
turns goofy and intensely informative, the Human Body Theater is always accessible and always
entertaining.
Maris Wicks is a biology nerd, and by the time you’ve read this book, you will be too!
Harnessing her passion for science (and her background as a science educator for elementary and
middle-school students), she has created a comics-format introduction to the human body that
will make an expert of any reader - young or old!
Maris Wicks has harnessed the power of her various biological systems to draw comics for
Adhouse Books, Tugboat Press, and Spongebob Comics, and written stories for Image and DC
Comics. Wicks is the illustrator of the New York Times Bestselling Primates, with Jim Ottaviani.
Science Comics! The Musical coming in Spring 2018.

adventures in cartooning
A Sleepless Knight
by James Sturm, Alexis Frederick-Frost, and Andrew Arnold
April 2015; 7 ½ x 7 ½; 40 pp.; Ages 3-5; Editor: Mark Siegel
The Knight can’t wait for her first camping trip! She and her horse Edward pack everything they
need - including her beloved Teddy - and head out into the woods. But when it’s time for bed,
Teddy is nowhere to be found!
A helpful racoon thinks this “Teddy” sounds familiar, and sends the Knight off to a cave...but
that’s no teddy bear in that cave. That’s a bear!
In this sweet, simple adventure, basic comics elements combine with the picture book format to
create a new picture book series for the youngest of comics readers, and a fantastic introduction
into the world of Adventures in Cartooning.
Gryphons Aren’t So Great
First Second
September 2015; 7 ½ x 7 ½; 40 pp.; Ages 3-5; Editor: Mark Siegel
The Knight’s best friend is her horse, Edward. They go everywhere together and do everything
together! But when the Knight gets a gryphon, suddenly all she talks about is how awesome her
new pet is. Edward can’t help it - he’s jealous! But the gryphon turns out to be more of a peril
than a pet, and it’s Edward who comes to the rescue in the end. It turns out that gryphons aren’t
so great...but Edward sure is!
Ogres Awake!
July 2016; 7 ½ x 7 ½; 40 pp.; Ages 3–5; Editor: Mark Siegel
The knight and her horse, Edward, have made a startling discovery: there are five huge ogres
asleep at her doorstep! When these monsters wake up, the kingdom will be in big trouble! And
so, the knight, Edward, and some garden gnomes fight back, not with swords and shields, but
with potato peelers and spoons. It turns out that ogres are pretty friendly when they have full
stomachs!
Hocus Pocus coming January 2017.
James Sturm is the cofounder and director of The Center for Cartoon Studies in White River
Junction, Vermont. Alexis Frederick Frost and A.L. Arnold are both graduates of CCS.
