Laura Overdeck wants to start a revolutionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the way we introduce math to children. The mission: To make the nightly math riddle as common as the bedtime story. Why?

Everyone knows parents should read to their children, but math is just as important. We can make numbers fun, and change the world, one Bedtime Math problem at a time.

PRAISE "We all know we should read to our kids. But even if bedtime stories are routine in your house, when's the last time you gave your kids a bedtime math problem? Probably never. And that's one reason American students might struggle in a future that requires mathematical literacy... Maybe if more children grew up doing bedtime math problems, those numbers would be different." --USA Today "Besides stopping the bad-mouthing of our own math skills and making sure that we’re distributing our numbers-related conversations equally among our sons and daughters, what can a parent do to increase “math awareness” in our everyday lives?

Their fast-flicking tongues, funny-shaped horns, and eyeballs that roll in separate directions don't make this lizard all that handsome. but chameleons can dress up or down better than any other animal. When they sense danger, within a second they can blend into the backgruond by changing their skin color to pink, turquoise, orange, or a host of other funky colors. If you tried changing your clothes as fast as your pet chameleon does, you'd find the lizard would always win. Warm-up: If your pet chameleon has 2 spinny eyeballs, 2 horns and a really long tongue, how many unusual body parts does it have? Challenge: A chameleon's tongue is twice the length of its body. If your chameleon is 20 inches long, how far can it stick out its tongue? Bonus: If your chameleon can sport 9 different colors, how many more colors does it need to show off to keep up with your 24-color box of crayons?

Excerpts/Q&A I raised my eyes past the catwalk to the high ceiling and saw the two crossed swords hovering over the long dining room table. Seeing those swords made me shiver again. Nothing had changed in this house in sixty years. And once again I saw the moment in the original movie when the sword dropped from the ceiling and cut off Cindy’s hand. Cut it off so neatly. So cleanly… clean until her blood started to pump out like a fountain. Right here. Right where Delia and Annalee and I were standing. And we were about to do it all over again. Delia gave me a gentle elbow poke. “Stop thinking grim thoughts,” she said.

PRAISE Justin Case: Shells, Smells, and the Horrible Flip-Flops of Doom: "Hilarious, laugh-out-loud fun for middle-grade readers." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Vail seems to know exactly what third graders are thinking.”—School Library Journal Praise for Justin Case: School, Drool, and Other Daily Disasters: “The writing is sharp, unpredictably clever, and establishes third grade as a minefield of the absurd—which, is to say, real life.”—Avi, Newbery Medalist “Vail employs easy, direct language in a rhythm, and syntax that captures the essence of a charming, lovable, and very believable boy. Readers transitioning to longer fiction will groan, sympathize, and laugh out loud in delight. Absolutely marvelous.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Honest and full of heart, Justin Case is a story for an oft-ignored segment of kids: the sensitive, introverted, and observant. The format will remind many readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but with fewer illustrations and a more reflective tone than Jeff Kinney’s series. This is subtly satisfying storytelling.”—School Library Journal Excerpts/Q&A June 21, Monday I used to be a worried kid. Back then, going barefoot would have given me a lot of thoughts like, What if I step on a rusty nail or a sharp piece of glass or dog doo, or what if that’s not actually blades of grass under my bare feet but really hundreds of slithering snakes? Today when I was barefoot, playing tag with my little sister Elizabeth, I mostly didn’t think those kinds of thoughts very much at all. It is much more relaxing to be this way. Though dog doo would be so disgusting to step in with bare feet, I had to put my sneakers back on after a few minutes.

PRAISE A New York Times Bestseller “There’s more than laugh-out-loud gothic comedy here. This is a richly layered semi-autobiographical tale, an ode to a time and place, to history and the power of reading.” —The Horn Book, starred review “This is a brilliant book, full of history, mystery, and laughs. It reminded me of my small-town childhood, although my small town was never as delightfully weird as Norvelt.” —Dave Barry “A bit of autobiography works its way into all of Gantos’s work, but he one-ups himself in this wildly entertaining meld of truth and fiction by naming the main character . . . Jackie Gantos.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “A fast-paced and witty read.” —School Library Journal “A more quietly (but still absurdly) funny and insightful account of a kid’s growth, kin to Gantos’s Jack stories, that will stealthily hook even resistant readers into the lure of history.” —BCCB

Excerpts/Q&A (Excerpt from an interview conducted by Laura Wilson, producer of the Macmillan Audio recording of Dead End in Norvelt) Q: Dead End in Norvelt is a wild combination of autobiography and fiction. And when you read it, you kind of want to know what’s real. Are the nosebleeds real? Did you really almost shoot Miss Volker? How did you make that combination? A: When I was trying to parse the real life with the fiction I had to add some features. But I added them on top of a really good foundation. So, like the nosebleeds—yeah, I had these vicious splashy nosebleeds which I was kind of famous for with big wads of paper sticking out of my nose. And the town is real, the whole Eleanor Roosevelt history is real, and then all of the history that’s referred to is real. So how do you make that fit together? Then you have to construct—that’s where the fiction comes in. You construct the plot. But Miss Volker was a real character. That’s not her real name but that was her town role.

A heavy shoulder slammed into me from behind. I stumbled and nearly pitched face-first into the muddy road. "Hey!" shouted the soldier. "Watch yourself !" "Why don't you watch your fat feet?" I snapped, and took some satisfaction from the surprise that came over his broad face. People, particularly big men carrying big rifles, don't expect lip from a scrawny thing like me. They always look a bit dazed when they get it. The soldier got over the novelty quickly and gave me a dirty look as he adjusted the pack on his back, then disappeared into the caravan of horses, men, carts, and wagons streaming over the crest of the hill and into the valley below.

But what if it’s not safe to leave? Emmy Laybourne had us from the get-go with her utterly fresh and fast-paced debut.

Praise For... Monument 14: “Laybourne’s strong characterizations of the resourceful, optimistic children who make up this improvised family intensify the horror of the situation and make the almost cartoonish series of catastrophes frighteningly real." — The New York Times Book Review “Monument 14 is raw, honest, gritty, and full of emotionally taut storytelling. Laybourne dares you to look away, but you won’t be able to. I had to hug so many kittens after reading it that the pet store asked me not to come back.” —Lish McBride, author of Hold Me Closer,

Sign me up for a life sentence of Alexander Gordon Smith!” —Darren Shan, author of the Demonata series “Uniquely horrifying.” —Realms of Fantasy “Gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled.” —School Library Journal “Breathlessly paced and soaked with blood, mucus, and less savory substances . . .

Smith’s prose is fast paced, witty, and sometimes downright terrifying. Some of the images he creates could manifest into a nightmare or two. Teens who are looking for a great thriller/horror story will definitely want to pick up these novels.” —VOYA Excerpts/Q&A “My biggest success story last year was when a student, a 5th year senior, attended a booktalk and couldn’t wait to read Lockdo... I ONCE KNEW A BOY. HIS NAME WAS ALEX SAWYER. He was the boy who stared back at me from the mirror, a kid like any other. Not bad-looking, a little scrawny. You wouldn’t have looked twice if you’d seen him on the street. That boy, he’s dead now. I let him die. But I want to tell you his story. I need to tell you his story. I don’t remember much of Alex’s—of my—life before Furnace. It’s a blur of faceless people and half-formed places. He had a family once, I think, a mom and a dad. And friends too. But he wasn’t a good kid, I remember that much at least. He was a bully, and a thief. He took from the ones he loved and all he gave in return was grief. I can’t even remember how it all started, only that he wanted things like shoes, a bike, a computer. That’s what I find hardest to believe about all this—not the truth about Furnace, or the monsters spawned inside the prison, but that Alex’s life was destroyed because he was so desperate to get a new pair of sneakers. Bullying in the playground, stealing the odd fiver at lunchtime, it wasn’t enough. Alex and his best friend,...

Angels also interested me because their power can be limitless. What has surprised you the most about the publishing process, so far? (i.e., touring, fans, reviews, etc.) Probably fan reactions. People have written me some beautiful, inspiring messages about how the story has changed their live.
