Enter a wonderful world filled with magic, mystery, and danger. As if being small and having S. Horten as his name isn’t bad enough, now 10-year-old Stuart is forced to move far away from all his friends. But on his very first day in his new home, Stuart’s swept up in an extraordinary adventure: the quest to find his greatuncle Tony—a famous magician who literally disappeared off the face of the earth—and Tony’s marvelous, long-lost work-shop. Along the way, Stuart reluctantly accepts help from the annoying triplets next door…and encounters trouble from another magician who’s also desperate to get hold of Tony’s treasures.

A quirky, smart, charming page-turner, Horten’s Miraculous Mechanisms will enchant young readers—as well as teachers, librarians, and parents. LISSA EVANS , who resides in London with her husband and two daughters, has traveled quite a mysterious path of her own to middlegrade novelist. After a brief career in medicine and an even briefer one in stand-up comedy, Lissa became a comedy producer and spent a decade running a red pencil through other people’s work before eventually beginning to write herself. Lissa has written three adult novels and a picture book. This is her first work of middle-grade fiction.

Three Little Dinosaurs Charles Fuge With its sweet illustrations, appealing characters, and clever concept, Charles Fuge's wonderful new picture book really soars to imaginative heights. Scratch, Spike, and Lofty--a friendly trio of dinosaurs--dream only about flying. So one day they climb a volcano, hoping that if they jump off the edge and flap, they just might really take flight.

Popular author Charles Fuge has won both the Macmillan Prize and the Mother Goose Award for his first book, Bush Vark's Day Out. His credits include the hugely popular Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball (“Highly Commended” for the Kate Greenaway Medal, 2001), I Know a Rhino, and My Dad!, and he is widely recognized for his Little Wombat series.

The Wind in the Willows Kenneth Grahame, illustrated by Robert Ingpen Another beautiful book by renowned artist Robert Ingpen in the popular Sterling Illustrated Classics series. For more than a century, The Wind in the Willows and its endearing protagonists--Mole, Mr. Toad, Badger, and Ratty--have enchanted children of all ages. Whether the four friends are setting forth on an exciting adventure, engaging in a comic caper, or simply relaxing by the River Thames, their stories are among the most charming in all English literature. This keepsake edition of Kenneth Grahame's beloved novel features gorgeous art throughout, making it a must-have for every child's library.

Publisher: Sterling Children's Books Published: March 2012 224 pages 978-1-4027-8283-1 Ages: from 7 to 14 $19.95 ($23.95 Canadian) Hardcover with Jacket all in color 7 5/8 X 9 1/4 Territory: North America Only

Kenneth Grahame began writing in 1879 as an escape from the drudgery of his job at the Bank of England. The Wind in the Willows started as a bedtime story for his son Alistair, and Grahame later continued the story in letters to his son. The book was published in 1908 and has never been out of print. Illustrator Robert Ingpen studied illustration and book design at The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In 1986 he received the Hans Christian Andersen Award for his contribution to children's literature, and he was recently honored with the Membership of the Order of Australia.

- With publication timed to coincide with the major film release of The Wind in the Willows (Fall 2012, with Ricky Gervais as the voice of Mole), book sales should mirror the success of our Alice in Wonderland, which published with Tim Burton's film and has sold more than 40,000 copies - One of the most beloved and widely read children's classics of all time - A lush and sumptuous edition with high-end production specs, ideal for gift giving - Continuation of our illustrated classics series with Robert Ingpen RELATED TITLES The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Mark Twain, illustrated by Robert Ingpen
