As Dr. Critchlore rallies his troops to respond to that threat, Runt is kidnapped and whisked away from the school. As the last prince of Andirat, it's time for him to lead the rebellion in his home country. Runt knows that millions are suffering in Andirat, but he can't help but feel like he's abandoning the only family he's ever known. Isolated from his minion friends, Runt grows increasingly suspicious of the rebels, who won't let him talk to anyone at Critchlore's school, and, even worse, seem to be working with Dr. Pravus. Runt knows he has to escape and tell Dr. Critchlore, but reaching him activates Runt's tether curse for the third time, which, he finds out, will now kill him in a few days! His only chance for survival: stop Dr. Pravus and win the allegiance of the witch who cursed him. Fortunately for Runt, he knows just the minions for the job. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Runt Higgins needs answers, fast. Someone cursed him to die on his sixteenth birthday, but no one seems to know who cursed him or why. Runt decides he must find the Great Library, where all true knowledge is hidden. Unfortunately, the only people who know the location of the Great Library are a covert network of librarian-spies who'd rather die than give up the Library's secrets. And when one of Runt's professors is attacked, it soon becomes clear that others are also out to find the Library at any cost. Meanwhile, Runt's not the only one whose days are numbered. To save the floundering school from an inevitable sale, Dr. Critchlore takes some desperate measures. His master plan to save the school: a fashion show. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ten-year-old Star Mackie has just moved to a new town where she lives in a trailer park with her flakey mum and her melancholy older sister, Winter, whom she idolises. Moving to a new town, coupled with Star's unusual fashion sense and layered blue hair, has made it difficult for her to make friends, so Star decides to start her own club at school. Initially named the "Trailer Park Club" in order to teach other students about the positive aspects of living in a trailer park, the (very small) group evolves into a poetry club where Star discovers a love of Emily Dickinson and through Emily's poetry (especially the poem "Hope is the thing with feathers"), learns some important lessons about herself and her own hopes and dreams for the future. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lauren joins a simplicity group at her Quaker school and recruits Sierra, her new neighbor, for the group. She misunderstands the group's anti-materialism mission and slowly begins to take things from her parents and to shoplift, using the money she gets selling stolen goods to give to kids on the autism spectrum. Meanwhile, foster kid Sierra has been in a toxic relationship with both of her parents, as an enabler and caretaker. Sierra realizes she's falling into the same enabling patterns with Lauren. And Lauren must learn that what she is doing is not fighting injustice, however good her intentions. Told in alternating viewpoints between Sierra's verse chapters and Lauren's prose chapters, this is a story about fairness for young readers first grappling with an unequal world. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When the kids arrive at Hank's lab one morning to find the facility ransacked, and their friend missing, they also discover clues to the project he's been working on in complete secrecy - a revolutionary new way to generate and store electricity inspired by the electric eels of the Amazon River. (Jack's idea, but no one seems to remember that.) Unfortunately, the trio aren't the only ones who've figured out what Hank has been doing. Several others are trying to locate Hank and steal his big idea, including a rival inventor, a disgraced scientist, a once-popular Brazilian boy band, and the great J.F. Clutterbuck, the genius behind the odorless sock. The kids travel to Brazil,
then venture deep into the Amazonian jungle in search of their mentor, following a series of subtle clues that Hank has left along the way. Relying on a mix of intelligence, cunning, and wild new technology, the kids have to overcome strange creatures, a raging river, a dangerous jungle, and some very clever foes to find their friend and protect his big idea. Like volumes one and two, Lost in the Jungle features a glossary of terms and an experiment kids can do at home or at school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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

But at eighteen, her home life is stable, and she has a strong relationship with her father, the president of a local biker gang known as the Wardens. Virginia Campbell's life hit fast-forward at fifteen, when her mom "sold" her into the services of the district attorney: a man for whom the law is merely a suggestion. When DA Hazzard sets his sights on dismantling the Wardens, he sends in Virginia, who has every intention of selling out the club-and Tourmaline. But the two girls are stronger than the circumstances that brought them together, and their resilience defines the friendship at the heart of this powerful debut novel. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But then the school gets a mass email: A spot has opened up in the Sharpshooters, Kensington's elite a cappella octet. Worshiped . . . revered . . . all male.

It has the same cliques, the same prejudices and the same suspect cafeteria food. And like every high school, every student has something to hide - whether it's Kat, the thespian who conceals her trust issues onstage, or Valentine, the neurotic genius who's planted the seed of a school scandal. When rumours of a teacher-student affair surface, everyone starts hunting for someone to blame. For the unlikely allies at the heart of it all, the collision of their seven ordinary-seeming lives results in extraordinary change. Riley Redgate's YA debut is told from seven points of view and effortlessly weaves humor and heartbreak into a drama that fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins will adore. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In Doodle Journeys, an interactive guidebook, Dawn creates prompts that inspire children to pick up their head and look outside the window. They are challenged to imagine where they are going, what they might see. They are also dared to envision worlds that don't exist. The book will offer suggestions of marking tools (showing a TSA-approved artist kit), ways to adhere photos, and tips for how to document with doodles. Young explorers will use prompts on pages overflowing with colorful, vibrant backgrounds to encourage them to note and document what's around them. Throughout the book are travel-inspired doodles and quotes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This girl-focused, interactive journal is a collaborative round-robin fill-in book, intended to encourage girls' creativity and camaraderie. Full of prompts, lists, collage ideas and art journaling jumpstarts, girls will be encouraged to create artwork together, "discovering" themselves and each other through their inner creative doodleness. But best of all, the journal is set up so that each girl has her own copy, which she will pass around amongst her doodle circle sisters. A section in the front of the book will be all about the girl who owns that copy. She'll not only fill in a few prompts about herself, but her friends can take turns writing and doodling specifically about her, focusing on what makes her special as well as her quirks and contributions to the group (and she'll do the same thing in her friends' copies of the book). The following section will be full of colourful, vibrant prompts with pages for the girls to fill in together.
As always, Sokol will provide friendly guidance on the best tools and techniques for doodling and collaging. Tips throughout will give the girls ideas for how to "share" the book, and some spreads will be specifically dedicated to teaching the girls how to open up the friend circle and allow other girls into the group. When the book is done, the girls will all have a special memento of their friendship as well as words of love and praise that will remind them how amazing they are as they go through this fun-filled (yet decidedly insecure) time of life. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, officially bringing the United States into World War II. A new generation of pilots were recruited to fly bombing missions for the United States, and from that group, volunteers were requested for a dangerous secret assignment. 16 bombers set sail on the United State's first aircraft carrier. Once at sea, they were told their mission was a retaliation strike against targets in Tokyo. But on the day of the raid, a Japanese patrol boat spotted them and they had to launch early, with barely enough fuel to get them past their target. After the bombing, some pilots crashed, some were captured, and many ended up in mainland China and were carried to safety by Chinese villagers, being hunted by Japanese forces all the while. With tales of highflying action and bravery, Sixteen Bombers is a story of heartbreak and survival during wartime. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There are no lacey edges or sugary hearts or diamond rings. But it does have lucky rocks and drippy glue. It's about waiting in line and wishing for cinnamon buns.

And it's about the ways that someone isn't like you, not one bit, and how if you care so much about that someone not thinking you care, maybe you do. But wait-isn't that exactly what love is about? Maybe this book is sort of a valentine after all. The perfect gift for every relationship-mom to son, sibling to sibling, boyfriend to girlfriend, crush to crush-this offering from debut picture book author Carter Higgins and children's book veteran Lucy Ruth Cummins will win over hearts of all readers in this testament to handmade, wacky, bashful, honest love. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Maggie is a unusual child who thinks she's perfectly ordinary. They're an unlikely duo-but magic, like friendship, is funny. Sometimes it chooses those who might not look so likely. And magic has chosen Grisha and Maggie to solve the darkest mystery in Vienna. Decades ago, when World War II broke out, someone decided that there were too many dragons for all of them to be free. As they investigate, Grisha and Maggie ask the question everyone's forgotten: Where have the missing dragons gone? And is there a way to save them? At once richly magical and tragically historical, The Language of Spells is a novel full of adventure about remembering old stories, forging new ones, and the transformative power of friendship. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In an attempt to keep at least one part of her summer from changing, Alice focuses on her quest to swim freestyle fast enough to get on her swim team's record board. But summers contain multitudes, and soon Alice meets an odd new friend, Harriet, whose obsession with the school's science fair is equal only to her conviction that Alice's best stroke is backstroke, not freestyle. Most unexpected of all is an unusual babysitting charge, Piper, who is mute-until Alice hears her speak. A funny and honest middle-grade novel, this sharply observed depiction of family, friendship, and Alice's determination to prove herself-as a babysitter, as a friend, as a daughter, as a person-rings loud and true. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
