She wishes all cows lived Buttercup’s life. Andrea lives in Unionville, Ontario. She created this book using acrylic paint on watercolor paper.
“The iambic rhythm makes the selections easy to read and recite aloud, and the poems would be wonderful additions to storytimes about cows, farms or even during Valentine’s Day programs. Buttercup provides the answers to life’s eternal questions—she loves the simple things and shares this joy with readers.” —School Library Journal

As ballerinas leap through the air, ponies meander through the kitchen, soccer players kick penalty shots in the living room and an elephant makes himself at home, Penelope’s flabbergasted parents find increasingly dramatic words to describe the growing chaos.

The unlikely duo of Martin Wettmore, editor and expert grammarian, and Trixi Wilder, prankster extraordinaire, is given the task of improving the pathetic sales of their school newspaper.

But when the paper starts to wreak havoc at the school, Principal Baumgartner shuts it down and assigns Trixi to Saturday morning bus-washing duty. To redeem themselves, Martin and Trixi resolve to create one very special edition of the Upland Green Examiner.

Next Week, Paper Airplanes?” “That’s ridiculous,” Martin said. “Or how about Toilets Reciting Poetry at Upland Green School! What Will They Do Next? Sing Opera?

ealworms are small creatures that live in dark secret places. Jeremy is a bit like that when he leaves his home in rural Nova Scotia and moves to Toronto with his mother. Lots of things keep him from enjoying his new life, but the worst is his science partner, Aaron, who is more annoying than sand in a bathing suit. Jeremy is also burdened by the secret he carries about the motorcycle accident that injured him and killed his father. Although Jeremy is haunted by his past, he starts to feel at home in Toronto when he realizes he has some skills he can share with his classmates. And when his mealworm project yields some surprising results, Jeremy is finally able to talk about his part in the fatal accident. Anna Kerz loves stories that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. Now that she’s retired from teaching, she fills her time by working as a storyteller, telling tales to audiences of all ages, and by writing books for children. She lives in Scarborough, Ontario.
“What’re we gonna investigate?” Aaron said. “You might want to investigate the art of listening,” Mr. Collins said. “The rest of the class will study mealworms.” There were snickers. If Aaron heard, he didn’t seem to care; he kept moving. His legs jiggled. He tapped his pencil on his desk. He hummed. His head bopped from side to side as if he was hearing music. Weird kid, Jeremy thought.

Her near-perfect life is ruined when Rachel, a girl she socially destroyed, exacts her revenge by getting Lizzie in trouble for cheating on a test. Friendless and facing detention, Lizzie obsesses over finding the perfect revenge. When Stella, Lizzie’s strange new neighbor, teaches Lizzie about magick, Lizzie can’t resist creating a revenge spell. But she forgets the “rule of three,” that whatever spell you cast comes back on you three-fold, and her zit spell backfires with dramatic results. When she asks for help from Stella’s Baba, the only advice she gets is to “write the lesson of the zit on her heart.” Can Lizzie find a way to teach Rachel a lesson without causing permanent disfigurement to herself?

Their enemies are always one step ahead of them though. Captured by the Yehillon and held as a hostage against Maurey, Annot struggles to survive and escape. A terrible choice lies before Maurey. If he abandons his defence of the border to save Annot, all Talverdin may fall as the Yehillon, led by their veiled prince, finally carry out a long-laid plan to wipe the warlocks from the face of the earth.

“If one book has shaped what I think a book should do and what literature should be,” K.V. Johansen says, “it is Lord of the Rings.” As Tolkien was, she is thorough in her research as she creates other worlds for her stories. Readers will find themselves richly rewarded. Johansen, who has a master’s degree in Medieval Studies, lives in a bit of another world herself; she grows exotic trees indoors and seedling oaks and apples outdoors in what used to be the vegetable garden and hopes some day to have her very own forest, because both the house and the yard are getting rather crowded. K.V. Johansen lives in Sackville, New Brunswick.

fter a harsh northern ontario winter, food is scarce and wolves must pursue the caribou north along the Winisk River. A large timber wolf fights off two young males and inserts himself into a pack led by a strong Alpha female. We follow the pack’s two-hundred-mile journey along the Winisk River to Hudson Bay and the Severn River, as they face the dangers of human hunters, near-starvation and treacherous rivers. Readers will experience the loyalty and affection of the wolf pack and be captivated by these powerful, intelligent, courageous creatures in their thrilling struggle to survive. Using bold, vivid free verse in this fiercely original literary tour de force, Paul Brown dares to explore the natural beauty of the Great North and the heart of its wildlife. Paul Brown is a poet, a writer of fiction and a retired English teacher. He has made several canoe trips into Northern Ontario, and in 1988 made the same trip from Webequie to Peawanuck on the Winisk River that the wolf pack makes in his debut novel. Brown lives in Belleville, Ontario. Artist and First Nation Band Councilor Robert Kakegamic continues the Woodland Aboriginal tradition started by Norval Morrisseau, his cousin the late Carl Ray, and brothers Joachim and Goyce Kakegamic. Robert, a lifelong resident of Sandy Lake, Ontario, a Swampy Cree (Ojibway) First Nation community, brings imaginative and symbolic imagery to his wildlife paintings.

ojo’s back, released from jail, and people are tense and afraid all over again. They wonder if his friends will start showing up again.

Jojo’s friends have a way of making it hard—really hard—on people who decide to press charges against Jojo. Those people just wish Jojo would go away and never come back. Then there are the people who have hate in their hearts. These people wish something bad would happen to Jojo. Something really bad. Ardell Withrow is one of those people.

eventeen-year-old Corbin plays hockey and is known as a scrapper on and off the ice. Fighting makes him feel strong. Corbin’s friend, Darius, is socially adept and popular, and Darius’s reckless risk-taking makes Corbin feel alive. With Rubee, a girl both boys like, Darius crosses a line, and after a party at Riley Park, Darius and Corbin are attacked. Darius is killed; Corbin is seriously injured. Corbin fights his clouded memory—he can’t identify the assailants. He fights his weakened body—he can no longer play hockey. He fights the loss of his friend. But when he gives up the fight, he finds strength in acceptance.
