The thrilling final installment in the bestselling trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Mockingjay
Mockingjay
by Suzanne Collins Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena alive, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what’s worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss’s family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins’s groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.

Then I see Aaron. Skinny as a spar, he seems too tall for thirteen, with a pinched-sour mouth and red hair. A redhead on a boat is unlucky! Why didn’t I remember to mention that to his caseworker? His hair falls near to his shoulders, bright as October leaves….

“This is Libby and Tess.” Dad holds an old tan suitcase in one hand. “We’re all glad you’re here, Aaron. Isn’t that right, girls?” “Yes!” Libby shoves by me and throws her arms around Aaron’s waist. Aaron lifts one hand cautiously. He gives Libby a little, quick pat on her back and then steps away from her. I push my lips into my widest, welcomest smile. “Hi, Aaron!” He glances at me. His eyes are muddy green, like the sea deep in the coves. “Hi.” He says it flatly, like I’m just anybody. Why’d Natalie pick this boy for us? A fear whispers in me that maybe she didn’t have anywhere else to send him.

Cynthia Lord will touch your heart her sparkling second novel! Touch Blue By Cynthia Lord Touch Blue and your wish will come true. “Why take chances?” says eleven-year-old Tess Brooks. Especially when it’s so easy to let the universe know what you want by touching blue or turning around three times or crossing your fingers. But Tess is coming to know that it’s not always that simple. The state of Maine has a plan to shut down her island’s schoolhouse, which would force Tess’s family to move to the mainland—and Tess to leave the only home she has ever known. Fortunately the islanders have a plan, too: increase the school numbers by having several families take in foster children. So now Tess and her family are taking a chance on Aaron, a thirteen-year-old trumpet player who has been bounced from home to home, and Tess needs a plan of her own—and all the luck she can muster. Will Tess’s wish come true or will her luck run out?

Skeleton Creek: Investigations
by Patrick Carman Strange things happen in Skeleton Creek…and when they do, Ryan writes them down and Sarah captures them on video. Now, the spookiness is spreading, and the mystery is going to take them far beyond Skeleton Creek—into places both unexpectedly sinister and spine-chillingly haunted. Patrick Carman broke new ground for publishing with the first two Skeleton Creek stories, creating the most successful hybrid of text and web video yet. Now he ups the ante even further, taking the suspense to new places, and taking his legions of readers with him.

Seventeen-year-old Natalie Sterling, a B-minus-meetstype-A student, has just been elected student council president. It’s not quite as glamorous as it sounds, but it definitely gets interesting when she tries to ‘rehabilitate’ a pack of hyper-sexualized freshmen girls whose pep rally prank tarnishes their school’s reputation. Natalie wants to teach them that sex isn’t important—while at the same time she gets involved in her first relationship (and tries to keep it a secret). As her public life and secret romance intertwine, Natalie has to learn how to live in the real world—and discover the difference between sex as a ploy and sex as something meaningful. What Mean Girls did for girl bullying, Not That Kind of Girl does for girls’ empowerment. With an honest heart and a fearless eye, Siobhan Vivian conveys what it’s like to be caught in the virgin/slut conundrum—and how middle ground is often the best place to be.
Praise for Same Difference H “Readers who have wondered, ‘are these the friends and the life I want to have?’ will see themselves reflected in Emily’s achingly real struggles, heartbreaks and triumphs.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Vivian serves up the story with vivid description and dialogue; the author’s talent for scene-setting and evocative imagery is especially effective for a story about a girl just discovering her eye as an artist and herself as a person.”—Publishers Weekly
Praise for A Little Friendly Advice “Populated with real characters who have authentic emotions, this debut novel manages to be at once uplifting and heartwrenching. Vivian is clearly an author to watch.” —Kirkus Reviews “Cultural references keep the narrative hip, but it’s Vivian’s skill at subtly shaping the personalities that makes the book work.”—San Francisco Chronicle “A bright new voice that holds nothing back.”—Cecil Castellucci, author of Boy Proof

Dear America: The Fences Between Us By Kirby Larson One fateful day in December 1941, Piper Davis awaits news of her brother, a soldier on the battleship Arizona stationed in Pearl Harbor. As explosions rule the earth and sky, Piper wonders what will become of her brother—and of her life in Seattle as rationing and blackouts take hold. Soon Piper is greeted by another grim reality— the internment of her Japanese American neighbors. Piper’s father, a pastor for a Japanese Baptist church, decides to follow his congregants when they are sent to an internment camp, bringing Piper along with him. She resents being uprooted, but as World War II rages, she learns about the harsh and heartbreaking realities of war, and begins to understand what it means to be a good citizen and a strong person.

Our bodies are moving around to all the places we’re supposed to go—Margie to college, me to school, Pop to church—doing all the things we’re supposed to do, saying the usual things like, “Yes, school was good today,” “I got an A on that Chem lab,” or “Please pass the salt.” But our real family is in the shadows, frozen in time and hanging on to every scrap of hope, while we wait, wait, wait to hear about Hank.

Eight Days By Edwidge Danticat Illustrated by Alix Delinois
Eight Days By Edwidge Danticat Illustrated by Alix Delinois In Edwidge’s story, Junior is trapped under his pancaked house for eight whole days. After he is saved, people ask him repeatedly: “What did you do all this time? Were you scared? Did you cry?” “I played,” he answers. And so with each page, we see how he played in his mind every day he was trapped--how he played marbles with his friends, won the best solo part in the choir, biked through St. Marc with his little sister, and ate the sweetest mango. Hope, love, and warmth dance across each page, reminding us that sometimes it is the simplest beauties that help us find our strength. This timely, beautiful book is the perfect tool to help parents talk with their children about tragedy and hope. Based on a true story, author Edwidge Danticat, a Haitian-American, weaves a story that is truly from the heart.
Edwidge Danticat was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, until she was twelve years old, when she moved to the United States to be reunited with her family. She published her first pieces of literary work just two years later. Her subsequent books have earned her a National Book Critics Circle Award, an American Book Award, a National Book Award nomination, and a slot in Oprah’s Book Club. She was also the 2009 winner of MacArthur Genius Grant. Edwidge lives with her family in Miami, Florida. September 2010 32

The Sea of Sleep By Warren Hanson Illustrated by Jim LaMarche Baby Otter cuddles into his mama’s arms, as calm, silvery waters rock him gently, gently toward sleep.

From The Clockwork Three When Giuseppe found the green violin, he did not think it would help him escape. He did not think it would play at all when he pulled it from the harbor. It bobbed and bumped around beneath the pier, still in its case, and a satisfied seagull perched on it. Giuseppe shooed the bird away and fished the case out of the water with a long pole. Inside it, he found the most beautiful, most remarkable violin he had ever seen. The varnished wood rippled deeper than green, like river water.

Sixteen-year-old Digger thrives as a spy and sneak-thief among the feuding religious factions of Llyvraneth, dodging the Greenmen who have banned all magic from the city. But when a routine job goes horribly wrong and her partner and lover Tegen is killed, she has to get out of the land, fast, and hides herself in a merry group of nobles to do so. Accepted as a lady’s maid to shy young Merista Nemair, Digger finds new peace and friendship at the Nemair stronghold—as well as plenty of jewels for the taking. But after the devious Remy Daul catches her in the act of thievery, he blackmails her into becoming his personal spy in the castle, and Digger soon realizes her noble hosts aren’t as apolitical as she thought…that indeed, she may be at the heart of a magical rebellion.

Winner of the William C. Morris YA Debut Award
What happened? I couldn’t slow the images spinning in my mind enough to make sense of them. We’d finished the job; we should have been safe. Tegen had thrown an arm around me and kissed me. I had laughed, the blood rushing in my veins. Hass’s client would have the letters, I’d have fifteen crowns, and Tegen would have me. Everything had gone perfectly. Until the men in green slammed through the doors and wrenched Tegen off me, a flashing silver blade easing the separation. A bloom of red sprang up on Tegen’s knife, a burst of blackness blinded me, and for a moment I couldn’t breathe. And then, Tegen’s voice: Digger, run!

What happens to one town when all the fossil fuels run out? Empty By Suzanne Weyn All-American Tom, golden child Nicki, and outsider Leila live in rural Spring Valley in the not-too-distant future, when oil production has slowed dramatically and the country is running out of oil. People can’t get to work because they don’t have gas; they’re being laid off because of businesses cutting costs; the price of everything is rising; and heat and electricity are increasingly hard to get. Nicki’s family is being torn apart by the crisis, and Leila is worried about how to survive the winter on her own. As winter progresses, life in Spring Valley grows more desperate, and people in nearby towns are pitted against one another. The teens must find ways to stop the raids and fighting—and new ways to live without oil.

Ghoul Strike! By Andrew Newbound
Alannah Malarra uses her psychic powers—and high-tech gadgets—to hunt demons. With the help of her “business associate,” professional thief Wortley Flint, she snags ghouls and robs them of their illicit riches. Sure, it’s a mercenary existence, but a girl’s got to pay the rent. What Alannah doesn’t realize is that the petty ghosts she’s so good at snaring are just a small part of a big conflict, dating back centuries. The evil gargoyle hordes from the Dark Dimension are at war with the army from on High, and only Alannah holds the key to victory! (But wait. There’s a money little haunting in London she wants to wrap up first. Her Bluetooth’s buzzing. Hold on a sec…)
From Ghoul Strike! Alannah never made appointments. The first any client knew of her involvement was when the haunting stopped. And she rarely charged for her time: The ghosts always paid. Usually with priceless treasure! “Are you going to help me or not?” Wortley screamed. Alannah gawked at her phone’s tiny screen. The image flickered with interference whenever Wortley moved his head, but she could clearly see two wild beasts prowling the ground beneath him. “Simmer down,” she muttered into her cell. “I’m on my way.”

Another gnaw wolf, Heep, is jealous of Faolan and causes him constant humiliation. And then something unthinkable happens. A young wolf pup is murdered, and Faolan is set up to take the blame.

By Barry Lyga Kyle Camden knows exactly where he was the night Mighty Mike arrived: sneaking around the fallow field behind Bouring Middle School (motto: “The U Makes It Exciting!”), running the electrical cabling that would allow him to dump the contents of the old water tower on the visiting football team during the next day’s game. Which is why he couldn’t tell anyone where he was. Or what he saw. Those lights everyone witnessed in the sky weren’t tiny meteors burning up in the atmosphere. They were some kind of strange supercooled plasma that bathed the entire field—including Kyle—in alien energies, energies that boosted Kyle’s intellect and gave him superpowers. Unfortunately, the energies also brought Mighty Mike to earth. Kyle is the only one who knows that Mighty Mike is a space alien. Everyone else thinks that Mike is just some kid who stumbled into the field, got beefed up on meteor juice, lost his memory, and decided to start rescuing kittens from trees. But Kyle knows the truth. And he’ll do anything in his power to stop Mighty Mike—even if it means being an archvillain!

The Memory Bank is the story of Hope Scoggins, who lives with her beloved sister Honey and hideous parents they share. In fact these parents are so horribly awful that one day, when the sisters disobey the “no laughing” rule, they banish Honey forever, telling Hope that she must simply “forget” her. Honey is picked up immediately and joyfully taken care of by a group of organized misfits called the Clean Slate Gang. But Hope doesn’t know this. She only knows that she HAS to find her sister again, before her memories DO fade and before it’s too late for them to have a life of happy memories together.
Marketing:
But before that can happen, Hope receives a letter from the Worldwide Memory Bank, telling her that her account is in disarray. She’s picked up by an agent named Obleratta and hustled off to the Bank itself to sort out the problem. There she learns the process of how dreams and memories are kept safe. And she also learns that the Worldwide Memory Bank and the Clean Slate Gang are at war.

What if you really wanted the miracles to stop? The Miracle Stealer By Neil Connelly Andi Grant adores her six-year-old brother, Daniel, a “miracle child” who survived a fall down a mine shaft. People regularly come to him for blessings and healings—which often seem to work—but Andi worries about their effects on her brother, especially when she finds signs of a stalker around their home. With the help of her once-and-maybe-future boyfriend Jeff, she comes up with an audacious, dramatic plan to stop the attention on Daniel: an “Anti-Miracle” that will unravel with the slightest examination of the facts, and cast doubt on his powers forever after.

As her plan comes together, the stalker draws closer, and the clock ticks toward Daniel’s star appearance at the local Paradise Days celebration. Andi finds herself wrestling with her own beliefs in God and her brother, and wondering if what she really needs is…a miracle.
From The Miracle Stealer I guess like most of the planet, you either watched the big rescue on TV or read about it in the papers. Maybe you saw the famous cover of Newsweek with Daniel’s chubby toddler body strapped to that board, his cheeks bloodied and his eyes swollen shut. As for the rumors that came later—about the fire that didn’t burn him and the cripples he cured—maybe you found them on one of those nut-job websites. But stories like Daniel’s take on a life of their own. Nobody really knows what happened for sure except the ones who saw it all firsthand, like me. In the hospital, near the end of everything, Leo told me that seeing something happen only makes you an observer. To qualify as a witness, he explained, you’ve got to offer testimony. So I’ll tell you all I saw and did, plain as I can, and you’ll come to your own conclusions about what to believe. I guess I’ll start with the night about a year back when, if you trust the rumors, my brother Daniel walked across the waters of Paradise Lake.

By Juliana Hatkoff, Isabella Hatkoff, and Craig Hatkoff When Leo was just two months old, he was orphaned and left alone in the snowy mountains of Pakistan. Luckily, a shepherd rescued him, but Leo was too big to be taken care of for long. It wasn’t clear what would happen to Leo because without a mother, he would be unable to survive in the wild on his own. Then, in August 2006, three scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society began their journey high into the Himilayas to rescue him. Leo was flown to New York, where he made his home at the Bronx Zoo.

By Rachael Mortimer Illustrated by Maddy McClellan There once lived a little bird who loved words. He loved them more than he loved worms. Shiny words—“Star, Moon.” Happy words—“Kiss, Smile.” Colorful words—“Rainbow, Sunshine…” Every day in the palace garden, the princess shares stories with her friend. The little bird loves these tales, and lines his nest with all the happy words he hears. But one day the princess falls sad and silent. Her friend has gone away. What can the birds do to make her smile once more? The peacock shows off his beautiful plumes, the magpie brings silver and gold, the jackdaws put on an aerial show, but the princess barely lifts her head to look. Then the little bird thinks of all the special words he tucked away. Stringing them together, he trills a soothing tune. The princess realizes she never has to be lonely—old friends can be found in comforting memories and, if she listens, new friends can be found for a song.

By Derrick Barnes Robeson “Crease” Battlefield gets his nickname from his iron-pressed pants. For Pacino Clapton, pants—and life—are rougher than the asphalt streets where he hangs most days. When the boys meet up in the underworld of Mr. Patt’s PSS (Post School Suspension), they’re quick to see that clean-andtidy don’t mix with grit. But hey—even opposites can find something in common. And for Crease and Pacino, that “something” is a kid named Tariq, the reason both of them have been forced to take the long walk down the infamous “Bermuda Hallway” to serve time in detention at Alain Locke Junior High. With piercing insight and humor, We Could Be Brothers delivers an engaging portrayal of urban life and offers a powerful look at how the differences among three boys change them forever.

From We Could Be Brothers 2:33 PM Alain Locke Junior High—The Bermuda Hallway Today was so embarrassing. I didn’t even tell my dad. Matter of fact, I lied to him and told him that for the next three days I’d be staying after school to work on a science fair project. Yeah right. He’d be so disappointed if he knew the truth. All day I thought about taking that long dreaded stroll down The Bermuda Hallway, then down to the school basement. On the ground floor, right next to the boys’ locker room is a set of stairs that are narrow, musty, and so hot. Some say there are kids who’ve gone down, but have never come back up. It’s a stupid school legend that I can’t say is true or not. Some kids travel The Bermuda Hallway like they do the daily path to their own homeroom. That ain’t me, but I guess it will be me for the next three days. As soon as I walked through the raggedy, darkened doorway, everything got quiet. The laughing, arguing, cussing, and horse play slowly began to fade until I heard nothing but my own footsteps.

Territory: World
By Jim Murphy It is 1776, and George Washington’s army of rebellious colonists is emboldened by its stunning victories over the British at Lexington and Concord, and at having driven the world’s most formidable army from Boston. But now they face the threat of a brutal British retaliation.
Praise for Jim Murphy A Newbery Honor Book for The Great Fire A Robert F. Sibert Honor Book for Blizzard! H“Spectacular!” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review of Truce H “An example of stellar nonfiction.” —Booklist, starred review of Blizzard! H“A veritable cinematic account.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review of The Great Fire
George Washington, who has little military experience, is unanimously chosen as commander in chief—in the hope that he can whip his ragtag, unruly troops into a real fighting army. As the British begin their invasion of New York City and out-battle the Americans in one encounter after another, George Washington isn’t the only one who is overcome with doubts. In a breathtaking account of this pivotal moment in the Revolution, Jim Murphy masterfully shows Washington’s transformation from gentleman farmer to a brilliant general as he delivers the country from the blackest of times—into the brightest of futures.

Alcatraz Smedry is on a mission to save the day!

In bestselling adult fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson’s final adventure in the series, will Alcatraz be able to keep Crystallia from crashing down?
Praise for Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians H“Sanderson unexpectedly draws everything together in an extravagantly silly climax. Readers whose sense of humor runs toward the subversive will be instantly captivated. Like Lemony Snicket and superhero comics rolled into one (and then revved up on steroids), this nutty novel…[is] also sure to win passionate fans.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“This is an excellent choice to read aloud to the whole family. It’s funny, exciting, and briskly paced. Best of all, the message it gives young readers is that a person’s flaws—being late, breaking things, etc.—can sometimes turn into useful talents.” —Nancy Pearl, National Public Radio “The conventional trappings of the middle-school fantasy get turned upside down in this zany novel…. The adventures [are] engaging, as well as silly. Readers who prefer fantasy with plenty of humor should enjoy entering Alcatraz’s strange but amusing world.” —School Library Journal

Territory: World
Odetta: The Queen of Folk By Stephen Alcorn She was a beautiful girl who plunged headfirst into the world with a song to sing. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, this child soon learned to make a whole heap of noise on her auntie’s piano. Then she discovered her own instrument—a voice full of brass and thunder! And, oh, did she have a song to sing—spirituals, gospels, and work songs. She sang joy. She sang sorrow and struggle. She sang triumph. Her songs told stories of America’s history. And with the help of Baby, her guitar, Odetta blazed a musical trail that served as the road map for many folksingers who followed in her footsteps. Presented with luminous paintings and a poetic narrative, the life and times of folk music’s queen will leave readers strumming.
From Odetta Now, we may not all sing the same, but we can all sing along. Let’s sing with the Queen of Folk, this wildly famous song: This little light of mine. I’m gonna let it shine. Black keys and white keys singing TOGETHER to create HARMONIOUS sound!
Stephen Alcorn, both an author and illustrator, has been a devoted admirer of Odetta since childhood; her vibrant
December 2010 84
and remarkable musical style profoundly influenced the writing and illustrations for this book. Mr. Alcorn is the illustrator of several books for young people, including the Coretta Scott King Honor Book Let It Shine: Stories of Black Women Freedom Fighters by Andrea Davis Pinkney. Upon developing a long-lasting friendship with Odetta, Mr. Alcorn wrote this book in her honor to show the world her role in the revival of American folk music. Mr. Alcorn lives in Cambridge, New York.

Clifford: La primera Navidad
¡Llegó la Navidad, David!
(Clifford’s First Christmas)
By David Shannon
By Norman Bridwell On Clifford’s first Christmas Eve, he helps the family trim the tree, but even after he’s tucked into bed, he just can’t sleep. He goes out to investigate, but accidentally falls into Emily Elizabeth’s stocking! Who do you think comes to his rescue? Santa, of course!
Norman Bridwell is the award-winning author and illustrator of the bestselling Clifford The Big Red Dog series. Mr. Bridwell lives in Edgartown, Massachusetts, with his wife, Norma.
(It’s Christmas, David!) Readers of all ages will vividly remember trying to peek at hidden gift packages; writing scrolls of wish lists to Santa; and struggling to behave at formal Christmas dinner parties. Always in the background, we know Santa Claus is watching, soon to decide if David deserves a shiny new fire truck or a lump of coal under the tree. From playing with delicate ornaments to standing in an endlessly long line for Santa, here are common Christmas activities—but with David’s naughty trimmings. A surefire hit that is destined to be an annual classic.
David Shannon is the internationally acclaimed creator of more than twenty picture books, including No, David!, a Caldecott Honor Book, and the bestsellers Alice, the Fairy; Good Boy, Fergus!; A Bad Case of Stripes; and How I Became a Pirate. His latest book for the Blue Sky Press, Too Many Toys, was a New York Times bestseller. David Shannon and his family live in southern California.

One year later, the ugly, green mask mysteriously calls out to her again, and ugly, green masks don’t like to be ignored. If Carly Beth can survive the night, even a terrifying amusement park like HorrorLand might seem like a vacation. Then again, maybe not…

¡Bienvenidos a mi barrio! Mi mundo de la A a la Z (Welcome to My Neighborhood! A Barrio ABC) By Quiara Alegría Hudes Illustrated by Shino Arihara M es de murales de paisajes isleños. Selvas y cataratas que adornan los senderos. N es de noticias que se discuten a diario. Ñ es del ñame que se come en el barrio. When Ava’s friend Chien visits her in the barrio, she takes him on a tour of all of her favorite things about the neighborhood. From fire hydrants to ice-cream trucks, bodegas to trolley tracks, the sights and sounds of the barrio—even the less perfect things—come to life through the words of award-winning playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes. A perfect way to get kids exploring and talking about what makes their own neighborhoods special!
