RIGHTS GUIDE
A FIELD GUIDE TO GETTING LOST A girl who’s a budding scientist and a boy who dreams of writing fantasy novels must figure out how to get along now that their parents are dating in this funny, lively middle‑grade novel. Sutton is having robot problems. Her mini-bot is supposed to be able to get through a maze in under a minute, but she must have gotten something wrong in the coding. Which is frustrating for a science-minded girl like Sutton. Luis would love to be science-minded—or anything outdoorsy, really—but he’s allergic to nearly everything, so he can only dream of daring adventures in the wild. Sutton and Luis couldn’t be more different from each other, yet now that their parents are dating, this unlikely pair has to find some common ground.

RIGHTS GUIDE
Dinosaurs occupy a vivid place in every child’s imagination. But the fact is, for thousands of years, mankind has lived among fossils without any clue about their origins. It was only in 1824 that scientists announced the existence of a startling new discovery—a massive, ancient reptile that once roamed the Earth. Its name was Megalosaurus—the first dinosaur ever named. The First Dinosaur tells the story of the idea of dinosaurs, and the chain of intellectual discoveries and advances that led up to that idea. Be prepared to meet eccentric men and overlooked women, who uncovered the pieces to a puzzle so much bigger than themselves, a puzzle far stranger and more spectacular than they could ever have imagined.

The irresistible companion novel to the New York Times bestseller When Dimple Met Rishi, which follows Rishi’s brother, Ashish, and a confident, fat athlete named Sweetie as they both discover what love means to them. Ashish Patel didn’t know love could be so . . . sucky. After he’s dumped by his ex-girlfriend, his mojo goes AWOL. Even worse, his parents are annoyingly, smugly confident they could find him a better match. So, in a moment of weakness, Ash challenges them to set him up. The Patels insist that Ashish date an Indian-American girl—under contract. Per subclause 1(a), he’ll be taking his date on “fun” excursions like visiting the Hindu temple and his eccentric Gita Auntie. Kill him now. How is this ever going to work? Sweetie Nair is many things: a formidable track athlete who can outrun most people in California, a loyal friend, a shower-singing champion. Oh, and she’s also fat. To Sweetie’s traditional parents, this last detail is the kiss of death. Sweetie loves her parents, but she’s so tired of being told she’s lacking because she’s fat. She decides it’s time to kick off the Sassy Sweetie Project, where she’ll show the world (and herself) what she’s really made of. Ashish and Sweetie both have something to prove. But with each date they realize there’s an unexpected magic growing between them. Can they find their true selves without losing each other?
