Boy + and Bot Bot 

Ame Dyckman; illustrated by Dan Yaccarino 

1 Bot + 1 Boy = BFF 

One day, a boy and a robot meet in the woods. They play. They have fun. 

But when Bot gets switched off, Boy thinks he's sick. The usual 

remedies--applesauce, reading a story--don't help, so Boy tucks the sick Bot in, 

then falls asleep. 

Bot is worried when he powers on and finds his friend powered off. He takes 

Boy home with him and tries all his remedies: oil, reading an instruction manual. 

Nothing revives the malfunctioning Boy! Can the Inventor help fix him?

A historical fiction picture book that coincides with the 200th anniversary of 

Dickens's birth! 

For years Dickens kept the story of his own childhood a secret. Yet it is a story 

worth telling. For it helps us remember how much we all might lose when a child's 

dreams don't come true . . . As a child, Dickens was forced to live on his own and 

work long hours in a rat-infested blacking factory. Readers will be drawn into the 

winding streets of London, where they will learn how Dickens got the inspiration 

for many of his characters. The 200th anniversary of Dickens's birth is February 7, 

2012, and this tale of his little-known boyhood is the perfect way to introduce kids 

to the great author. Here is historical fiction at its ingenious best. 


Perfect timing: This book goes on sale just before the 200th anniversary of Dickens's 

birth. Plus, Oprah's final Book Club picks were two Dickens novels, which should revive 

interest in this timeless author. 

Success of author-illustrator team: The author has developed a solid niche as one of 

the best writers of historical fiction in picture book form. Her previous book with John 

Hendrix (Abe Lincoln Crosses a Creek) was an ALA Notable, a Booklist Editors' Choice, 

and a Bulletin Blue Ribbon pick. 

A glimpse into Dickens's childhood: Dickens kept the early part of his life a secret for 

many years, though it was immensely influential in his later work. This book offers a 

glimpse into the little-known childhood of a renowned writer. 

Emphasizes the importance of a child's dreams: If Dickens's parents had kept him in 

the factory and never sent him back to school, the world would be without many great 

works of literature. This book showcases the importance of letting a child follow his 

passions.

The Bunny's Night-Light 

A Glow-in-the-Dark Search 

Geoffrey Hayes 

A reassuring glow-in-the-dark bedtime tale about finding a night-light that is 

just right. 

When Little Bunny can't sleep because "there's too much dark at night," it's up 

to Papa to find just the right night-light for his little bunny. The pair go for a walk 

around the woods and Papa points out the possibilities. Perhaps the moon is the 

ideal night-light? Or maybe the fireflies will be able to help? Or even the little 

glowworm? Featuring luminescent nighttime illustrations that glow in the dark, and 

a comforting text, this bedtime story will resonate with little bunnies and their 

parents.

The Cloud Spinner 

Michael Catchpool; illustrated by Alison Jay 

A gorgeously illustrated tale about a wise boy, a greedy king, and magical 

cloth woven from the clouds. 

One small boy has a special gift--he can weave cloth from the clouds: gold in 

the early morning with the rising sun, white in the afternoon, and crimson in the 

evening. He spins just enough cloth for a warm scarf. But when the king sees the 

boy's magnificent cloth, he demands cloaks and gowns galore. "It would not be 

wise," the boy protests. "Your majesty does not need them!" But spin he 

must--and soon the world around him begins to change.

A first! A picture book about George Washington's birthday. 

From award-winning author Margaret McNamara and New Yorker artist Barry 

Blitt comes this partly true and completely funny story of George Washington's 7th 

birthday. In this clever approach to history, readers will discover the truths and 

myths about George Washington. Did George Washington wear a wig? No. Did 

George Washington cut down a cherry tree? Probably not. Readers young and old 

who are used to seeing George Washington as an old man, will get a new look at 

the first president--as a kid. Perfect for classrooms, Presidents' Day, or as a 

birthday gift. 


Perfect holiday timing: Releases just in time for Presidents' Day. 

Informative: Using the most current reseach, this book is filled with information about 

Washington's family, his early life (before Mount Vernon), and his future as a general and 

as president. 

Separates fact from fiction: Much of what we think we know about George Washington 

never happened. Sidebars on every page make clear what is true and what is not. 

McNamara's reputation: McNamara was awarded the Christopher Medal for her 

previous book with Schwartz & Wade, How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?, which is a fall 

favorite for booksellers. 

Blitt's reputation: Blitt is well known to booksellers as a frequent cover artist for the New 

Yorker and also for his picture books Once Upon a Time, the End by Geoff Kloske, and 

The Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn by Robert Burleigh. 

Nice classroom addition: Washington's birthday is marked in most elementary 

classrooms in the country, with a unit on the life of the first president. Finally here is a 

book teachers can use about the actual day.

Illustrator Residence: Riverdale, CT

Good Night, night, laila Laila tov Tov 

Laurel Snyder; illustrated by Jui Ishida 

A luminous picture book celebrates the excitement of discovery and the 

serenity that comes from the natural world. 

A family trip turns into an adventure of discovery for a curious and carefree 

sister and brother. While the two explore the natural wonders of the seashore, 

woods, and fields, their parents plant trees as an offering of thanks for all they 

have received. In Jewish tradition, this is called tikkun olam, or repairing the 

world. As the children settle down to sleep, they are lulled by the soothing sounds 

around them that become the refrain: "good night, laila tov"--the same comforting 

words in English and Hebrew that their parents recite to them every night at 

bedtime.

There's magic in the air in this very different kind of picture book story from 

Elise Primavera, paired with the whimsical, fantastical artwork of newcomer 

Valeria Docampo. 

Angelina Neatolini came from a long line of neat and tidy people. In fact, her 

great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather invented the garbage can. Her 

mother ironed her linguini and her father vacuumed the grass. But Angelina liked 

to roll in the dirt whenever she could.

And like most kids, Angelina wanted a pet, but pets are messy and the 

Neatolini parents did not allow mess in their new house at the end of Ladybug 

Lane, where they recently moved from the dirty city. Enter a hard-of-hearing and 

very daffy fairy godmother ladybug--and magic, mess, and mayhem ensued in the 

house at the end of Ladybug Lane, which became anything but neat. 

This magical, funny story has messages of tolerance, "it's okay to be different," 

and unrealistic parental pressure, and it features the spot-on whimsical art of 

newcomer Valeria Docampo.

It's Milking Time 

Phyllis Alsdurf; Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher 

For fans of Owl Moon, a little girl offers a unique glimpse into the evening 

milking on a modern dairy farm. 

As the sun sets over the fields, a little girl and her father begin the evening 

milking. They work side by side, fanning out beds of straw, bringing in the cows, 

and hooking up the milkers. 

Soon they've filled milk can after milk can for the creamery truck that will arrive 

in the morning. The fresh dairy product isn't just for them--other families will buy 

their milk, butter, and cheese at stores and farmers' markets near and far, 

connecting the little girl's farm to the world beyond.

Phyllis Alsdurf has created a poetic story that lovingly depicts the special bond 

between a child and her father, as well as the relationship between a young 

farmer and her animals. With Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher's exquisite 

illustrations, this is a lyrical and visual treasure--perfect for reading aloud to 

anyone who's ever asked: Where does milk come from? 


"Where does milk come from?" This story answers the inevitable question with facts 

about modern milking methods (forget milk pails!) wrapped in a fictional story--so it's 

never pedantic, even though kids are learning. Great for schools and libraries. 

Farmers' markets are growing! The local food movement is a billion dollar industry 

according to the US Department of Agriculture. More parents are paying attention to 

where their food is coming from. 

Father and daughter working side by side! A young girl narrator shares the farm's 

chores with her father. Fathers will appreciate being part of a picture book story, while 

mothers will love that a little girl is shown sharing the work. 

Perfect for bedtime or anytime! The evening milking is brought to a close as the sun 

sets over the fields, but the beautiful free verse is so full of the actions and sounds of the 

farm that it can be read at any point during the day. 

True-to-life story! The author was raised on a Minnesota dairy farm and still has family 

in the business.

The story of a book who finds a child. 

When a wonderful new book arrives at the library, at first it is loved by all, 

checked out constantly, and rarely spends a night on the library shelf. But over 

time it grows old and worn, and the children lose interest in its story. The book is 

sent to the library's basement where the other faded books live. How it eventually 

finds an honored place on a little girl's bookshelf--and in her heart--makes for an 

unforgettable story sure to enchant anyone who has ever cherished a book. Kate 

Bernheimer and Chris Sheban have teamed up to create a picture book that 

promises to be loved every bit as much as the lonely book itself. 


Celebrates books!: Teachers, librarians, and parents love to give children books about 

the joy of reading. This child-friendly story about how meaningful a book can be to a 

young reader is sure to be embraced by all. 

Classic, fairy tale feel: The timeless nature of the story and the beauty of the artwork 

are reminiscent of old-fashioned lavishly illustrated fairy tales. 

Books about books sell as proven by such bestselling titles as It's A Book!, Wild About 

Books, How Rocket Learned to Read, and Dog Loves Books. 

A writer to watch: Publishers Weekly chose Bernheimer's debut picture book, The Girl 

in the Castle Inside the Museum, as a Best Book of the Year, and wrote in a starred 

review: "Young fans of fantasy will be spellbound." Her next book, The Girl Who Wouldn't 

Brush Her Hair will be published in 2013.

Mrs. Harkness and the Panda 

Alicia Potter; illustrated by Melissa Sweet 

The incredible story of a female adventurer who brought America its first

explorer husband: the hunt for a panda. She knew that bringing back a panda 

would be hard. Impossible, even. But she intended to try.

So she went to China, where she found a guide, built traps, gathered supplies, 

and had explorers' clothes made--unheard of for a woman in those days. Then 

she set out up the Yangtze River and into the wilderness. What she discovered 

would awe America: an adorable baby panda she named Su Lin, which means "a 

little bit of something very cute." 

With breathtaking illustrations from Caldecott Honor artist Melissa Sweet, this 

little-known true story shares the tale of an adventurous woman who was bold and 

brave--and the unforgettable journey that helped shape American attitudes toward 

wildlife. 


A true story of persistence and strength, and of a woman bucking societal convention to 

achieve great things. 

Art by Melissa Sweet, who won a Caldecott Honor for her picture book A River of Words, 

which used a similar watercolor and collage style to explore another historical figure, 

William Carlos Williams. 

Features that perennially favorite and charismatic animal: the panda bear. 

An exciting narrative that will keep children engaged. 

Includes a timeline and author's note on pandas and conservation.

Backyard science at its best. 

Alice's family plants a vegetable garden each spring, and this budding 

naturalist reports all she sees about how the plants grow, what insects come to 

eat the plants, and what birds and animals come to eat the insects. It's the food 

chain, right in her own backyard! 

While Alice's narrative is simple and engaging, science concepts are presented 

in more depth in sidebars by a pair of very knowledgeable (and highly amusing) 

chickens! Noted science writer Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld knows how to layer 

information to make it accessible to a wide range of readers and useful for 

educators. And illustrator Priscilla Lamont's funny, friendly paintings make this a 

garden everyone will want to explore. 

Kids will eat up this wonderful book of backyard science--and perhaps they'll 

even be inspired to eat their vegetables! 


Great curriculum connections for units on seasons, plants, food chains, and food webs.

How to be polite when shopping with a dinosaur. 

A little girl is shopping in a grocery store when--surprise!--she meets a 

dinosaur. Don't worry. The dinosaur is very friendly. She's polite, too. In this funny 

story, told in lilting read-aloud rhyme, the girl has numerous opportunities to be 

helpful to the clumsy shopping dino and demonstrate when to say "thank you," 

"excuse me," "I'm sorry," "You're welcome," and other niceties of life. Tim 

Bowers's whimsical illustrations bring an extra dimension of fun to Judy Sierra's 

hilarious picture book fantasy. Altogether, Suppose You Meet a Dinosaur is an 

entertaining and painless way to show preschoolers why basic manners are a 

good thing to have. 


A great way to demonstrate basic manners to the youngest child. 

Speech balloon responses to "what do you say?" invite interaction. 

By the author of the New York Times #1 picture book bestseller Wild About Books. 

As fetching in a modern-day mode as the classic Ruth Krauss/Maurice Sendak What Do 

You Say, Dear?

Adorable little rabbits make early learning concepts fun. 

One by one, 10 very hungry rabbits find 10 very yummy vegetables for Mama 

Rabbit's soup pot. Caldecott Honor Book artist Anita Lobel combines learning to 

count with color concepts in this mouth-watering celebration of good things to eat. 

One big purple cabage, two white onions, three yellow peppers, and so on through 

10--garden vegetables have never looked so appetizing! Here Anita Lobel makes 

a delightful story for preschoolers with the two most basic early learning concepts, 

counting and color. And her beautiful illustrations of vegetables might even tempt 

picky eaters into new adventures in eating! 


Great for preschoolers' Easter baskets. 

The illustrations display the same charming, old-fashioned appeal as Beatrix Potter 

stories. 

A novel presentation of the two most basic early learning concepts--counting and colors. 

Bonus: teaches the very young the names of vegetables. 

Praise for Anita Lobel's Nini books: 

"It's almost impossible to glimpse Nini the tabby cat on the cover of Lobel's new 

book and not open it."--The New York Times 

"An exemplar of all a picture book can be."--Daniel Pinkwater, NPR 

"Told with an elegant simplicity that children will appreciate, this is filled with 

Lobel's endearing watercolor-and-gouache artwork, with big swirls of emotion and 

the tiniest nod of relief in a little cat's upturned lip. A wonderful read-aloud, with 

the length of the text, the size of the art, and the adventure of the tale all being just 

right."--Booklist, Starred 

"There is just enough tension for the preschool audience here, but the pictures, 

even the semi-scary nighttime spreads, are too bountifully warm to leave anything 

but a happy ending in doubt."--The Horn Book, Starred 



ANITA LOBEL is well known and well loved by picture book fans young and old. 

Some of her standouts include her Caldecott Honor Book, On Market Street, 

written by Arnold Lobel, and, two books she wrote as well as illustrated, Alison's 

Zinnia and One Lighthouse, One Moon. Her most recent book, Nini Lost and 

Found, based on her own cat Nini's adventures, was at the top of Booklist's 

Editors' Choice 2010 and was a Horn Book Fanfare Best Book of 2010.

Night Running 

Elisa Carbone; illustrated by E. B. Lewis 

A boy--and his dog--run for freedom. 

It's 1838, and James has made a secret plan to escape Master Graham's 

farm--and slavery. James kneels down to tell his dog Zeus he has to stay behind, 

because Zeus is simply too noisy to bring along on a dangerous nighttime journey. 

But when two white men capture James soon after he runs, he's grateful his 

faithful hunting dog didn't obey. Zeus has followed behind, and the scrappy hound 

rescues James from his captors. The boy and his dog are free for the moment, but 

hunger, cold, slave-catching dogs, and the wide Ohio River still lie between them 

and freedom.

Pezzettino 

Leo Lionni 

First time in paperback for this classic about being small in a big world. 

Pezzettino lives in a world in which everyone is big and does daring and 

wonderful things. But he is small, just "a little piece," which is the meaning of 

pezzettino in Italian. I must be a piece of somebody else. I must belong to 

someone else, he thinks, and he decides to find out. How Pezzettino learns that 

he belongs to no one but himself is a joyous and satisfying conclusion to this 

beautiful picture book. Using collage and small, mosiac-like colorful squares, 

four-time Caldecott Honor Book artist Leo Lionni has created a delightfully graphic 

fable that captures the longing of a small child in a world of big people. First 

published in 1975 and long out of print, it was reissued in hardcover in 2006. This 

Dragonfly Books edition marks its debut in paperback.

watches the Empire State Building being constructed from scratch, then travels to 

the top to look down on all of New York City in 1931. Hopkinson, a master of 

historical fiction, and Ransome, an award-winning illustrator, dazzle us with this 

ALA Notable and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book. 


Success of the hardcover: Sky Boys was a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book, an 

ALA Notable Book, was named to many state award lists, and sold more than 30,000 

copies in hardcover. 

Phenomenally successful team: Hopkinson and Ransome have collaborated on two 

previous mega bestselling, critically acclaimed picture books, Sweet Clara and the 

Freedom Quilt and Under the Quilt of Night. 

Coincides with the publication of a new Deborah Hopkinson picture book, A Boy 

Called Dickens. 

Hopkinson's reputation: The author has developed a solid niche as one of the best 

writers of historical fiction in picture book form. Her most recent book, Abe Lincoln 

Crosses a Creek, got three starred reviews and was a Junior Library Guild Selection, an 

ALA Notable, a Booklist Editors' Choice, a Bulletin Blue Ribbon, and more. 

Historical fiction boys will love: Sure to be a favorite in classrooms, the book is filled 

with fascinating facts that boys, particularly, will want to trade with their friends. A Note 

About the Text contains more information, and endpapers show actual Lewis Hines 

photos of the construction. 


DEBORAH HOPKINSON is the author of Sky Boys: How They Built the Empire 

State Building, an ALA Notable Book and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, and

Dickens. Her many other acclaimed titles include ALA Notable Apples to Oregon,

The Lorax Pop-Up! 

Dr. Seuss; pop-ups by David A. Carter 

The pairing of a Dr. Seuss classic with David Carter's pop-up magic for 

Horton Hears a Who Pop-up! was so well received that a pop-up edition of 

The Lorax timed for the release of the feature film is a natural! 

Dr. Seuss's well-known and well-loved The Lorax is as timely now as it was 

when it was first published in 1971--perhaps even more so. This bestselling 

ecological warning is now available in an elaborate pop-up book, published in 

conjunction with the release of The Lorax feature film on March 2, 2012--Ted 

Geisel's birthday.

A beloved classic is now back in print in the Little Golden Book line! 

Generations of children have followed this furry, lovable bunny on his 

springtime journey to find a home. A family favorite since 1956, Margaret Wise 

Brown's simple yet playful tale is perfectly complemented by Garth Williams's 

exquisite artwork--and is now back in print as a Little Golden Book Classic. 


Home for a Bunny is one of Golden Books' all-time classics and a popular springtime 

offering on bookstore tables and shelves in the Big Golden Book format; its return to the 

Little Golden Books line will ensure brisk year-round sales. 





MARGARET WISE BROWN (1910-1952), best known as the author of Goodnight 

Moon, wrote countless children's books inspired by her belief that the very young 

were fascinated by the simple pleasures of the world around them. Among her 

many bestselling Golden titles are Mister Dog, The Color Kittens, The Golden Egg 

Book, Seven Little Postmen, The Friendly Book, and The Sailor Dog. 

GARTH WILLIAMS (1912-1996) is known for his realistic yet highly expressive 

animal characters. His unique style has brought to life some of the best-loved 

children's books of the 20th century, including E. B. White's Charlotte's Web and 

Stuart Little, and the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. He illustrated 

many timeless Golden Books, among them Baby Farm Animals, Mister Dog, The 

Friendly Book, The Sailor Dog,The Giant Golden Book of Elves and Fairies, and 

The Kitten Who Thought He Was a Mouse.

An adorable Easter counting story now available in a board book! 

"The creators of 10 Trick-or-Treaters (2005) and 10 Trim-the-Tree'ers (2010) 

tackle Easter in this simple, appealing counting book. 'Baby crawls across the 

floor. / What is that by the mouse door?' One egg, of course, getting its own spot 

on a block of white on the verso page. As the book continues in simple rhyme, 

more children join the hunt, eventually finding 10 eggs. Davick's candy-colored 

pictures have plenty of charm as kids of mixed ethnicities run through the house 

and gambol on the lawn. This will get children excited about Easter, the advent of 

spring, and perhaps even counting."--Booklist 


Dynamic duo Janet Schulman and Linda Davick team up for a new holiday counting book 

featuring the same adorable kids from 10 Trick-or-Treaters and 10 Trim-the-Tree'ers. 

Board book format invites the very youngest readers to join in the fun. 

Count the Easter eggs on every page! 

Brightly colored, adorable illustrations, and a clever rhyme set this book apart from other 

Easter titles--and so does the price tag. 

Great read-aloud book with a bouncy, rhyming text. 

10 Trick-or-Treaters was a New York Times bestseller and has sold more than 100,000 

copies. 

Praise for 10 Trick-or-Treaters: 

"Kids will enjoy the bright, bold colors and clever rhymes while learning that 

Halloween's not that frightening after all."--San Diego Union-Tribune 

"A not-too-scary treat for the youngest Halloween fans!"--School Library Journal 

"Children will enjoy counting down with this all-rhyme story."--Chicago Parent 

"Vibrant depictions of clever costumes will set readers to dreaming of their own 

Halloween escapades."--Kirkus Reviews

JANET SCHULMAN was the author of 10 Trick-or-Treaters, 10 Trim-the-Tree'ers,

artist and founder of David & Goliath, a company that produces clothing and other 

merchandise that feature his designs. As a child, Todd dreamed of being a 

Russian figure skater. Unfortunately for Todd, he could not skate and was not 

Russian, so he decided to doodle instead. Though he faced discouragement from 

many, he was determined to turn his love of drawing into a career. Todd launched 

David & Goliath in 2000 to great success. Todd also sells his work as fine art. He 

branched out into children's publishing in 2009 and is the author of Animal Soup,

• Learn about animals and nature with Elmo and friends! 

• Elmo and friends go hiking! As they walk in the woods, 

explore the edges of a stream, and sit in a meadow, they 

learn how to look and listen for clues to the creatures that 

live in these places. Along the way they also learn to take 

care of nature by staying on trails, not picking flowers, and 

not feeding the animals. When Elmo, Grover, Zoe, Big Bird, 

Ernie, and Bert ask about what lives in the places they see, 

their trail guide gives clues to the answers. Readers can 

guess along with them and then lift the die-cut flap in each 

spread to reveal the creature and its name.

he and Grover dare each other to find the NEW monster at 

the end of the book. The bright colors and rich textures of

a terrifically funny tour de force that will have parents and 

children laughing out loud as they read this NEW classic

Oh say, what exactly did Francis Scott Key see? 

Francis Scott Key was a very busy man. He and his wife had 11 children. He 

was a lawyer and many people came to him for advice. But whenever he had a 

moment, he would jot down a line of poetry. He loved writing poems. When the 

War of 1812 broke out, Francis became even busier. He was well-respected and 

often called upon to help keep the peace as the war between the United States 

and England raged on. One fateful night Francis and his friend helped talk the 

British Navy into releasing a prisoner of war. But they couldn't return home just yet 

because the Battle of Fort McHenry was starting! If the British captured the fort, 

America might very well lose its independence. independence! Francis and his friends could only 

sit on a boat and observe the battle. For 25 hours they watched in awe. What 

Francis saw inspired him to write a poem that would become America's national 

anthem! This Step 3 reader is perfect for children who are ready to read 

independently. 


Great curriculum tie-in--American history sells! 

2012 marks the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. 

A natural for Flag Day, Fourth of July, and every patriotic promotion imaginable.

The Stinky Giant 

Ellen Weiss and Mel Friedman 

Illustrated by Alessia Girasole 

How can two kids take down one huge stinky giant? With science on their 

side . . . that's how! 

Pepper and Jake love herding sheep in the little valley where they live. But 

there's a problem-- a big problem. Urk, a giant who lives on a nearby mountain, is 

big and stinky and doesn't care that dumping dirty laundry water in the nearby 

stream causes a flood down below every single week. So Pepper and Jake hike to 

Urk's mountaintop lair to confront him. But there's no reasoning with a giant, 

especially one who gives cryptic puzzles to solve. If the kids can solve it, Urk will 

move away. If not, Pepper and Jake (and their sheep) will be the featured 

ingredients in Urk's next bowl of smelly soup!

Leprechaun in Late Winter 

Mary Pope Osborne; illustrated by Sal Murdocca 

Leapin' leprechauns--it's a new Magic Tree House paperback! 

The bestselling, fan-favorite chapter-book series sends Jack and Annie to 

Ireland--the land of leprechauns! 

Jack and Annie are whisked back to long-ago Ireland. Their mission? To 

inspire a girl named Augusta to share her creativity with the world. But when they 

meet Augusta, Jack and Annie don't see how they can inspire her at all--she is the 

least imaginative person they've ever met! Luckily, Jack and Annie have a special 

whistle that they can use to show Augusta a magical world. But their plan 

backfires! Can Jack and Annie rescue their new friend? Or will Augusta be lost 

forever?

An all-American combination--baseball and mysteries! 

Now batting clean-up--book #4 in a new early chapter book mystery series 

where each book is set in a different American ballpark! 

Houston, we have a problem! Before a game at the Astros' ballpark, Mike and 

Kate get to meet astronaut commander Nick Rice at the nearby Houston Space 

Center. He's planning to display a very rare moonrock at an autographing event 

later. But just before the event, a nefarious outlaw knocks out the commander and 

steals the moonrock! Can Mike and Kate figure out who did it . . . when their only 

clue is a broken green feather? 

The Astro Outlaw includes a fun act page about the Houston Astros' stadium with 

trivia about the train on the outfield wall and the homerun gas pump. 

Cross Ron Roy's A to Z Mystery series with Matt Christopher's sports books 

and you get the Ballpark Mysteries: fun, puzzling whodunnits aimed at the 

younger brothers and sisters of John Feinstein's fans. 


The author is a great self-promoter. He set up numerous interviews, school visits, and 

book signings for the publication of his first book, Babe Ruth and the Baseball Curse. 

Kids love mysteries. 

A home run for sports fans and reluctant readers. 

Baseball is a popular spring table theme. 

Boy/girl appeal with the two cousins, Mike and Kate. 

Fun facts about each ballpark at the end of the book give young fans the sports trivia 

they crave. 

With seven different genres in Stepping Stones--Mystery, History, Fantasy, Fiction, True 

Stories, Classic, and Humor--there's a kind of book for every kind of kid. 

Check out the Stepping Stones mini site at SteppingStonesBooks.com. 


Cousins Mike and Kate are two lucky kids. Kate's mom is a sports reporter and brings them 

with her on assignments to ballparks around the country. But baseball isn't the only 

excitement in the parks as Mike and Kate discover they have a special knack for 

finding--and solving--mysteries! We're publishing two books a year in this new series.

Rat, comes a high-spirited story of mixed-up magic and wishes gone awry. 

Celia Willow is the baby of the family and she's sick of it. She's sick of being 

younger and smaller. She's sick of never being taken seriously. So when her 

hamster surprises the Willows with his wish-granting powers, she blurts out her 

deepest desire. The problem? Celia didn't exactly wish to be furry. Her big 

brothers and sister can't let her parents see her like this, but they only have one 

night to fix things. How can Abner, Tate, and Derek reverse something as 

powerful as hamster magic . . . before breakfast?

Magical Mix-Ups #2: Lawn Mower Magic 

Lynne Jonell; illustrated by Brandon Dorman 

The magic of Magic Tree House + the humor of Junie B. Jones + the 

innocence of The Penderwicks = the Magical Mix-Ups series! 

With a POP! and a puff of smoke, the Willows' lawn mower calls it quits. A new 

mower will cost their parents a lot of money, money Derek had hoped to borrow 

for a train ticket to visit a friend. Luckily Derek and his brother and sisters find a 

rusty push mower tucked away in the shed. It doesn't look like much, but it turns 

out that it's been soaking up magic for years. And it's hungry for grass! 

Can Derek earn his ticket? Maybe . . . if he, Abner, Tate, and Celia can keep 

the magic mower under control! 

Lynne Jonell follows up her Junior Library Guild selection, Hamster Magic, with 

a second story of the Willow family's rowdy run-ins with mixed-up magic.

Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones has survived her first semester 

at boarding school. Now she's headed home for break--and she's invited Jacinta 

Headlington-Bear, the school's second-best tantrum thrower, to join her. The two 

girls are looking forward to a fun mini-vacation. Nothing too eventful! But a cranky 

boy is causing mischief, a movie star has come to visit, and a stanger is snooping 

around. Add a naughty pony, a hint of romance, and a dastardly scheme, and 

Jacinta and Alice-Miranda might have a more exciting time than they ever 

expected. . . .

Amos Daragon #2: The Key of Braha 

Bryan Perro; translated from the French by Y. Maudet 

Blending fantasy, mythology, and fast-paced adventure, The Key of Braha is 

the second book in a bestselling series from French Canada. Perfect for 

reluctant readers! 

Amos survived his first mission as Mask Wearer, but soon after that, an 

encounter with a mysterious girl brings his life to an end--and sends him on his 

way to Braha, the City of the Dead, where souls await judgment. To get there, 

Amos, now a spirit himself, boards a boat, on which he meets Jerik, a decapitated 

criminal who must carry his head everywhere. Jerik tells Amos that Braha is 

overcrowded with spirits; the gods have shut the doors that lead to paradise and 

to hell. A key is said to unlock the doors--but its whereabouts are unknown. Only 

someone who dies and comes back to life can find it. Will Amos be that someone? 

Will his ingenuity and intelligence be enough to restore order in Braha? Or will he 

unknowingly serve those who are using him for their own gain? Most importantly, 

even if Amos finds the key, will he ever return to the land of the living?

KRISTEN TRACY grew up in a small town in Idaho, where she learned a lot about 

bears. Sadly, she was not clever enough to reinvent herself in middle school. 

Also, technically, Kristen Tracy never went to middle school. She attended North 

Bonneville Junior High, where she took classes in industrial exploration (which 

involved lots of saws), Idaho history, public speaking, and keyboarding. Her least 

favorite class was PE, in which she was forced to run, tumble, hurdle, play 

shuffleboard, and perform the flexed-arm hang.

Brendan Buckley's Sixth-Grade 

Experiment 

Sundee T. Frazier 

Strong reader response fueled this companion to Brendan Buckley's 

Universe and Everything In It, winner of the Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe 

New Talent Award. Science-minded Brendan and his police detective father 

clash as Brendan spends enormous time on his scientific pursuits. 

Brendan Buckley's headed to middle school, and he has some big questions! 

Can he keep his new pet anole, Einstein, alive? Will his tough-as-rock Grandpa 

Ed and sharp-witted grandma, Gladys, butt heads or become friends? Most 

importantly, what will he propose for the national science competition his class is 

entering? 

Then Brendan's alternative energy idea gets him paired with Morgan Belcher, a 

talkative, formerly homeschooled girl, whose eyes sparkle whenever Brendan is 

around. Though skeptical, Brendan decides to give Morgan a chance, and they 

embark on their project--a methane-producing experiment involving beakers, 

balloons, and the freshest cow manure they can find.

As Brendan spends more time on the experiment and faces new challenges, 

his big questions get even bigger: Will he and Khalfani always be best friends? 

Does Dad really think he's a science-nerd wimp? 


Biracial and African American issues are positively portrayed through a close-knit 

family and a boy who loves science and school. 

Universal appeal as Brendan, a winning protagonist, encounters girl-issues, tension with 

his best friend, and the ups and downs of adolescence. 

Science tie-ins with an emphasis on alternative fuels and climate change, an area of 

concern for today's youth. Facts related to biofuels, global warming, and the care of 

green anoles (Brendan's pet lizard) included in the back of the book. 

Adolescent struggle for the need for attention from parents while also needing parental 

approval, validation, and acceptance is depicted. 

Father-son relationship is explored in a way that could be applied to any child who feels 

misunderstood by a parent.

Child of the Mountains 

Marilyn Sue Shank 

The Appalachian hills come alive as a young girl recounts the struggles she 

endures after prejudice shatters her family. 

It's about keeping the faith. 

Growing up poor in 1953 in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia 

doesn't bother Lydia Hawkins. She treasures her tight-knit family. There's her 

loving mama, now widowed; her whip-smart younger brother, BJ, who has cystic 

fibrosis; and wise old Gran. But everything falls apart after Gran and BJ die and 

mama is jailed unjustly. Suddenly Lydia has lost all those dearest to her. 

Moving to a coal camp to live with her uncle William and aunt Ethel Mae only 

makes Lydia feel more alone. She is ridiculed at her new school for her outgrown 

homemade clothes and the way she talks, and for what the kids believe her mama 

did. And to make matters worse, she discovers that her uncle has been keeping a 

family secret--about her.

Carl Hiaasen 

Hiaasen takes a bite out of reality TV in his hysterical new novel. 

Wahoo Cray lives in a zoo. His father is an animal wrangler, so he's grown up 

with all manner of gators, snakes, parrots, rats, monkeys, snappers, and more in 

his backyard. The critters he can handle. His father is the unpredictable one. 

When his dad takes a job with a reality TV show called "Expedition Survival!", 

Wahoo figures he'll have to do a bit of wrangling himself--to keep his dad from 

killing Derek Badger, the show's boneheaded star, before the shoot is over. But 

the job keeps getting more complicated. Derek Badger seems to actually believe 

his PR and insists on using wild animals for his stunts. And Wahoo's acquired a 

shadow named Tuna--a girl who's sporting a shiner courtesy of her old man and 

needs a place to hide out.

Crow 

Barbara Wright 

The only successful coup d'etat in U.S.. history, as seen through the eyes of 

a young boy. 

The summer of 1898 is filled with and downs for 11-year-old Moses. He's 

growing apart from his best friend, his superstitious Boo-Nanny butts heads 

constantly with his pragmatic, educated father, and his mother is reeling from the 

discovery of a family secret. Yet there are good times, too. He's teaching his 

grandmother how to read. For the first time she's sharing stories about her life as 

a slave. And his father and his friends are finally getting the respect and positions 

of power they've earned in the Wilmington, North Carolina, community. But not 

everyone is happy with the political changes at play and some will do anything, 

including a violent plot against the government, to maintain the status quo.

Ice Island 

Sherry Shahan 

Riveting do or die survival adventure in which a girl who dreams of 

competing in the grueling 1,049-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race gets lost 

during a training run in the untamed Alaskan wilderness during a freak snow 

storm. 

What begins as a training run with sled dogs turns into a race against time for 

Tatum and her new friend, a Siberian Yupik boy named Cole. When a freak 

blizzard hits this remote island off the coast of Alaska, the duo seeks shelter 

overnight in a dilapidated hunting cabin. Their harrowing ordeal goes from bad to 

worse when wind-driven snow forces them to risk an alternate route. Stranded in 

the untamed wilderness, they must rely on each other--as well as their faithful 

huskies--to survive sub-zero temperatures and bone-numbing exhaustion. Worse 

still, their food supply is dangerously low. The most daunting decision comes 

when the strongest dog runs away. One person must go for help, while one must 

stay behind. Either way, they'll both be alone in the wild for an uncertain amount 

of time.

The Jungle Book 

Rudyard Kipling; introduction by Neil Gaiman 

An accessible classic with an introduction by Neil Gaiman! 

Imagine growing up among wolves, being friends with a panther and a bear, 

and hunting the most fearsome animal in the wild--the man-killing tiger Shere 

Khan. Rudyard Kipling portrays the exciting and adventurous jungle upbringing of 

Mowgli in this timeless classic. Still amazingly contemporary even though it was 

written more than 100 years ago, the pacing, language, and characters will keep 

readers young and old turning the pages, and then begging for more.

Mowgli, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and the white seal, was first published in 1894. Kipling 

won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. He died in 1936 and was buried in

Mason Dixon: Basketball Disasters 

Claudia Mills; illustrated by Guy Francis 

Mason Dixon is back for his biggest disaster yet: the basketball team. 

Here's the third entry in Claudia Mills' charming middle-grade series. Mason 

Dixon survived the school choir. He survived adopting his now-beloved dog 

named, uh, Dog. But now he faces his biggest challenge yet: joining the local 

basketball team. Not by choice, of course. Not only do his parents encourage it, 

but his dad even volunteers to be his coach. Now, with his best pal Brody and a 

team of misfits even worse at basketball than him (if that's possible), Mason must 

try to rally to beat his arch-rival, the school bully Dunk. Just another day-in-the-life 

of a disaster-prone fourth grader.

Book three in a trio from veteran middle-grade author Claudia Mills 

Perfect for newly independent readers; black and white artwork by Guy Francis keeps the 

text blocks accessible and visually appealing. 

Just right for 8-10 year olds and features both boy and girl characters to help broaden the 

reading appeal. 

Humor and lively action will keep kids reading, and the plots are perfect for classroom 

discussions. 

Deals with universal kid situations in a humorous and accessible way. 

Praise for Claudia Mills' How Oliver Olson Changed the World: 

"Mills has a knack for creating characters who demand compassion due to a 

pitch-perfect sense of humor and pathos."--School Library Journal 


From veteran author Claudia Mills comes a hilarious new young middle-grade trio of novels 

featuring unlikely buddies Mason Dixon, and best friend Brody. The two fourth-graders are 

polar opposites: Mason is a die-hard curmudgeon while Brody is a die-hard enthusiast and 

their chemistry is irresistible. In Book 1, Mason gets a pet, Book 2 features the school 

chorus, and Book 3 tells the story of Mason's disastrous turn on the school basketball team. 

Through it all Mason maintains his trademark pessimism, which will keep readers laughing 

on every page.

May is helping out on a neighbor's Kansas prairie homestead--just until 

Christmas, says Pa. She wants to contribute, but it's hard to be separated from 

her family by 15 long, unfamiliar miles. Then the unthinkable happens: May is 

abandoned. Trapped in a tiny snow-covered sod house, isolated from family and 

neighbors, May must prepare for the oncoming winter. While fighting to survive, 

May's memories of her struggles with reading at school come back to haunt her. 

But she's determined to find her way home again. Caroline Starr Rose's 

fast-paced novel, written in beautiful and riveting verse, gives readers a strong 

new heroine to love. 


Strong female protagonist: Readers will love May's spirit and determination to never 

give up. 

Reluctant readers will relate . . . May has a learning disability (which readers will 

recognize as dyslexia) and struggles to read and to participate in class. 

. . . And will enjoy the accessible format: Short poems, spare pages, and a quick pace 

will draw readers in. 

Accurate and thorough portrait of the era: Here is a well researched and engaging 

work of historical fiction. 

The spare, lyrical, literary novel-in-verse has its niche: Fans of Karen Hesse will 

adore this new book, and it's a great addition to classrooms and libraries.

From one of Etsy's most popular artists, a lavishly illustrated young chapter 

book. 

What do an onion-headed boy, a child-sized hedgehog, and a tattooed girl 

have in common? They are all orphans at Oddfellow's Orphanage! This unusual 

early chapter book began life as a series of full-color portraits with character 

descriptions. Author/illustrator Emily Martin has fleshed out the world of 

Oddfellow's with an episodic story that follows a new orphan, Delia, as she 

discovers the delights of her new home. From classes in Cryptozoology and Fairy 

Tale Studies to trips to the circus, from Annual Hair Cutting Day to a sea 

monster-sighting field trip, things at Oddfellows are anything but ordinary . . . 

except when it comes to friendships. And in that, Oddfellows is like any other 

school where children discover what they mean to each other while learning how 

big the world really is. 

In Oddfellow's Orphanage, Emily Martin brings a very strange place to life with 

her unique style of both art and writing. 


A built-in audience! Emily Martin, with her shop The Black Apple, is one of the top five 

artist/sellers on Etsy. 

Black-and-white illustrations grace every page. 

Emily Martin is a publicist's dream! 

Emily Martin's book The Black Apple's Paper Doll Primer: Activities and Amusements for 

the Curious Paper Artist was published in November 2010 by Potter Craft. 

Emily has demonstrated her doll-making alongside Martha Stewart on the Martha 

Stewart Show. 

Neo-gothic setting and characters but written in a light-hearted, humorous tone. 

Episodic read-aloud akin to Toys Go Out and Winnie-the-Pooh. 

Same trim as Toys Go Out series, higher quality paper stock than usual. 



EMILY WINFIELD MARTIN sketches, paints, and stitches to create imaginary 

worlds and characters. She is the author/illustrator of The Black Apple's Paper 

Doll Primer. Her store, The Black Apple, has been featured in national 

publications and on TV shows, including the New York Times and The Martha 

Stewart Show. Oddfellow's Orphanage is both Emily's first book for children and 

her first novel! The inspiration came from the real I.O.O.F. (Independent Order of 

Oddfellows), dancing bears, ragtime music, and magic and mysterium of all sorts. 

Originally, Emily painted portraits of the children and adults at the imaginary 

orphanage, and from the portraits the stories emerged--enough to fill a book! 

Emily lives among the giant fir trees of Portland, Oregon, with her fellow 

adventurer, Josiah, and their cat Miette. Visit her on line at the

wants to impress more than anything--her dad--show up to support her?

Rebecca Barnhouse 

A riveting companion to The Coming of the Dragon! 

This is historical fantasy at its best. Sixteen-year-old Hild has always been a 

favorite of her uncle, king of the Shylfings. So when she protects her cousin the 

crown prince from a murderous traitor, she expects the king to be grateful. 

Instead, she is unjustly accused of treachery herself. 

As punishment, her uncle sends Hild far away to the heir of the enemy king, 

Beowulf, to try to weave peace between the two kingdoms. She must leave her 

home and everyone she loves. On the long and perilous journey, Hild soon 

discovers that fatigue and rough terrain are the least of her worries. Something is 

following her and her small band of guards--some kind of foul creature that tales 

say lurks in the fens. Will Hild have to face the monster? Or does it offer her the 

perfect chance to escape the destiny she never chose?

Oracles of Delphi Keep #3: 

Quest for the Secret Keeper 

Victoria Laurie 

In the third book in the Oracles of Delphi Keep series, danger is lurking 

around every corner! 

Delphi Keep is awash in activity, and for Ian, Theo, and Carl, their safe haven 

might be nearing its end. The Royal Navy has taken the keep to use as a hospital 

and the tunnels running under the keep and the castle are ideal to set up a central 

communications outpost for the approaching war. The earl is happy to help the 

effort, but now the keep is no longer safe for the orphans and they must be 

evacuated to his winter residence. 

Ian, Theo, and Carl know that if they're sent away, they'll no longer be 

protected. But more important than their safety is deciphering the third prophecy. 

All clues point to a quest. The orphans don't know where they must go, but they 

know they must rescue the Secret Keeper.

To do that, however, they need to work out who this Secret Keeper is. And 

what, exactly are the secrets he's keeping? 


This is the third book in a series--Oracles of Delphi Keep--that is projected to be four 

books. 

This book has a timeless quality that can be compared to classics like the Chronicles of 

Narnia. 

An underdog adventure story, involving orphans whose home is in the keep of a Castle. 

This book has the historic setting and fast-paced adventure of Indiana Jones. It's a great 

pick for reluctant readers. 

There are three protagonists in this book, a girl and two boys, so it will appeal to both 

male and female readers. 

This series takes place right at the beginning of WWII and includes historic figures--like 

Winston Churchill, and Adolf Hitler--as well as fantastical figures--an oracle from ancient 

Greece, three sorceresses, and a sorcerer.

From Newbery-winning author Christopher Paul Curtis, a heart-wrenching, 

suspenseful novel of one unforgettable family caught up in the turbulent 

days of the Depression. 

"We are a family on a journey to a place called wonderful" is the motto of Deza 

Malone's family. Deza is the smartest girl in her class in Gary, Indiana, singled out 

by teachers for a special path in life. But the Great Depression hit Gary hard, and 

there are no jobs for black men. When her beloved father leaves to find work, 

Deza, Mother, and her older brother Jimmie go in search of him, and end up in a 

Hooverville outside Flint, Michigan. Jimmie's beautiful voice inspires him to leave 

the camp to be a performer, while Deza and Mother find a new home, and cling to 

the hope that they will find Father. The twists and turns of their story reveal the 

devastation of the Depression and prove that Deza truly is the Mighty Miss 

Malone. 


In the Newbery Medal book, Bud, Not Buddy, Bud met a girl named Deza at a 

Hooverville. This is her story. Curtis's irresistible tale is brilliantly told and deeply moving. 

Curtis' award-winning classics, The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963 and Bud, Not 

Buddy have sold more than 3,500,000 copies, combined. 

The Mighty Miss Malone is relevant today as it touches on themes of family, survival, the 

Depression, and finding hope even in the toughest situations.

The Whole Story of Half a Girl 

Veera Hiranandani 

A timely novel about cultural identity and the impact of having a parent 

suddenly out of work. 

After her father loses his job, Sonia Nadhamuni, half Indian and half Jewish 

American, finds herself yanked out of private school and thrown into the unfamiliar 

world of public education. For the first time, Sonia's mixed heritage makes her 

classmates ask questions--questions Sonia doesn't always know how to 

answer--as she navigates between a group of popular girls who want her to try out 

for the cheerleading squad and other students who aren't part of the "in" crowd.

At the same time that Sonia is trying to make new friends, she's dealing with 

what it means to have an out-of-work parent--it's hard for her family to adjust to 

their changed circumstances. And then, one day, Sonia's father goes missing. 

Now Sonia wonders if she ever really knew him. As she begins to look for 

answers, she must decide what really matters and who her true friends are--and 

whether her two halves, no matter how different, can make her a whole. 


Contemporary middle-grade: An 11-year-old girl's life is thrown upside down after her 

father loses his job, she's yanked out of private school, and as she struggles to make 

new friends. 

Multicultural: More and more children are of mixed heritage, which can make them torn 

about their identity. 

Reflects the times we live in: With so many families affected by the downturn in the 

economy, lots of children have witnessed a parent lose a job--and all that it entails.

The debut title in an action-packed graphic novel series about two beaver 

brothers who will save the world (or at least Beaver Island)! 

Meet Ace and Bub, the flying beaver brothers! Ace loves extreme sports and is 

always looking for a new adventure. Bub loves napping and, well, napping. But 

when penguins threaten to freeze Beaver Island for "resort and polar-style living," 

the brothers put their talents to work saving their tropical island paradise. Can 

they save Beaver Island from environmental destruction? And can they do it in 

time to still win the annual Beaver Island Surfing Competition? 


Fun, funny, and chock-full of kid appeal! Kids will love Ace and Bub! 

Each book has an environmental angle that is not preachy or didactic in any way.

Kit Feeny.

Fiendish fish don't stand a chance when Bub and Ace are on the case! 

The Flying Beaver Brothers are back, and this time they're hot on the trail of 

another eco-villain: Fish Stix Environmental Manufacturing. When Fish Stix sets 

up shop, most of the islanders are thrilled. After all, Fish Stix are the most popular, 

best-selling sticks around AND they're good for the environment! But this 

eco-friendly facade is just a cover for a nefarious plot involving dirty money, fish 

who walk on dry land, and a great big smoking volcano. It's up to the dauntless 

beaver brothers to set things right--and they better do it fast or the island's forests 

are history! Now if only Bub can stop napping and they can all make enough 

pancakes to save the day. . . .

Jan Bozarth 

Girl-powered adventure filled with danger and magic--perfect for girls who

Sumi Hara loves fashion. She always looks beautiful, and always wears the 

perfect outfit. When she arrives in Aventurine, Sumi is thrilled to learn that she's a 

shape-shifter. Unfortunately, she's not very good at shape-shifting yet, so she's 

given a guide named Kano--who's distractingly gorgeous in his human form. But 

right away they get off on the wrong foot; Sumi can't understand why this boy 

doesn't seem to like her. When they find out that an evil fairy queen holds the final 

mirror shard needed to complete their mission, Sumi will have to discover what 

true beauty and perfection are, or she could lose Kano and her chance to become 

a fairy godmother.

The minute she sets foot on the school's manicured grounds, she senses that 

something is wrong: Miss Grimm, the headmistress, is nowhere to be seen, the 

gardens have no flowers; and a mysterious stranger seems to be hiding out on the 

premises.

Barnaby Grimes: 

Curse of the Night Wolf 

Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell 

Now in paperback, the first book in the Barnaby Grimes series from the 

bestselling Edge Chronicles duo! 

Barnaby Grimes is a tick-tock lad, running errands in his city, day and night, 

and "highstacking" around the rooftops in search of new mysteries to solve. In this 

first adventure, Barnaby is attacked one night by an enormous dog and soon finds 

himself swept up in a world of crooked doctors, poor and ill-advised patients, 

strange tonics, and very expensive furs . . . Could there be more to the seemingly 

respectable Dr. Cadwallader and the tonics he doles out to the poor? Is there a 

link between the tonic and the huge dogs--or possibly wolves--that are roaming 

the city at night?

Calli Be Gold 

Michele Weber Hurwitz 

In this gently humorous middle-grade debut, Calli Gold is the untalented 

member of a super-successful family. But what she discovers is that she's 

really good at being a regular kid. 

Eleven-year-old Calli Gold is the quiet third child in a family of loud 

overachievers. In fact, the family motto is "be gold." Calli's sister is on an 

ice-skating team, and her brother's a basketball star. But Calli has flopped at 

everything she's tried. She sure doesn't feel like a Gold. 

Until a new person enters her life. Second grader Noah Zullo might seem 

strange to some people, but Calli can't help liking him, and they become partners 

in their school's Peer Helper Program. When they create a booth for the 

Friendship Fair, they fill it with secrets and surprises. And as Calli and Noah work 

and learn together, they even surprise themselves.

Today's overscheduled, pressured kids will relate to a story about a girl who cares more 

about who she is than about being successful. 

Michele Weber Hurwitz is a terrific new middle-grade voice who really knows her 

audience. She has three children of her own and is a former journalist. 

Calli Gold is a sweet and accessible character, has strong opinions, and two terrific best 

friends. She sticks by the underdog character, Noah, and it pays off in the end. 

Noah, a second grader who struggles to fit in, is endearing and deeply sympathetic. 

Praise for Calli Be Gold: 

"Hurwitz nicely conveys the sense that . . . families can be enriched by their 

younger members' ideas."--Booklist 

"Calli's often-insightful first-person narration provides a thoughtful, child-eyed view 

at how adults too often try to find success through their children's achievements." 



Author Residence: Buffalo Grove, IL 

MICHELE WEBER HURWITZ grew up in a suburb of Chicago and still lives in the 

same area with her husband and three children. She does not have a huge 

calendar taped to her kitchen wall, but has been known, on occasion, to drive with 

Post-it notes stuck to the steering wheel. This is her first novel. Visit her at

The Door in the Forest 

Roderick Townley 

A mysterious, magical story about a boy who cannot lie and a girl who dares 

not reveal her secrets. 

At the midpoint of three towns, in the center of three streams, in the heart of a 

forest, lies a mysterious island. Encircled by quicksand and sewn shut by vines, it 

is impenetrable to all but the poisonous snakes patrolling its waters. But Daniel is 

determined to get there, along with his friend Emily. 

Emily is a bit mysterious herself. A girl who seems to know more than she can 

say, whose mother was taken away by government troops, and whose eccentric 

grandmother reads the future in her bubble bath. 

Enter the soldiers. Their menacing commander is terribly interested in sleepy 

little Everwood. Is he searching for something? A treasure map? The island? 

The girl?

story. Her tale features Collosso, a rampaging giant, and Jimmy, a tiny boy whose

Laurie's storytelling allows the sick children to forget their grim reality. And as 

they begin to recognize their counterparts in the tale, they suddenly take on 

active, heroic roles. In fact, Laurie's story is so powerful that when she's prevented 

from continuing it, Dickie, Carolyn, and Chip all help bring the story of Collosso 

and Jimmy to an end--changing the lives of those in the polio ward in startling 

ways. 


Recognition: An ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book; A Kirkus Reviews Best Children's

The fourth and final mystery about fast-thinking sleuth Sherry Holmes 

Baldwin is perfect for tweens who love mysteries with heroines they can 

relate to. 

Having a boyfriend in eighth grade makes me kind of a celebrity at school. I'm 

also known throughout the spirit world--I've helped my ghost mom solve some 

tough cases. And now I'm on my biggest one of all . . . in Hollywood! 

Everyone is so famous here. But there's no time for stargazing. Somehow I 

managed to stumble upon a mystery right on Hollywood Boulevard. Homes of 

young celebs are being burglarized, and it's up to me to figure out who's behind 

the million dollar crimes--and prove it to the Beverly Hills police. And to complicate 

things? The ghost of a teen star is dying to help me. One thing you never hear in 

the land of glitz and glamour? I so don't do famous. 


Spot on for its audience: Really funny writing with a believable mystery, middle-school 

romance, and a funny/poignant plot point (Sherry's deceased mom is a crime-solving 

ghost in the afterlife). 

When I grow up, I want to be famous: Tweens love fantasizing about celebrities. 

Sherry wins a trip to Hollywood and uncovers a teen crime ring in a 

ripped-from-the-headlines plot while dealing with romantic woes and a teen ghost who 

wants to be her new partner. 

Girls like series: I So Don't Do Famous wraps up our four-book I So Don't quartet. 


A funny tween mystery series starring 13-year-old Sherry Holmes Baldwin, who solves 

mysteries with the help of her mom--a deceased cop who now attends the Academy of 

Spirits in the afterlife.

The Young Reader's Edition 

Discussion Guide 

Pack of 15 

ISBN: 978-0-307-96336-9 



Photo credit: © Manda Townsend 

A middle-grade adaptation of Rebecca Skloot's critically acclaimed, New 

York Times nonfiction bestseller 

Henrietta Lacks was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same 

land as her slave ancestors, and whose cells--taken without her knowledge when 

she was treated for cancer in 1951--have become one of the most important tools 

in medicine. Her cells--the first immortal human cells grown in culture--are still 

alive today: they've been bought and sold by the billions and have been vital in 

fighting polio, cancer, and many viruses. Henrietta's family didn't learn of the cells 

until 20 years after her death; their lives would never be the same. This book tells 

the riveting story of race, bioethics, scientific research, human rights, and of a 

daughter consumed with questions about the mother she never knew. 


Rebecca Skloot and science writer-novelist Gregory Mone bring the fascinating story of 

Henrietta Lacks and her immortal cells to a new audience. 

For ages 10-14, the writing is accessible and the science clear and entertaining. Includes 

photos, and age-appropriate and teacher-friendly headlines and sidebars. 

Rebecca Skloot has received numerous requests for this edition directly from elementary 

and middle-school teachers; her website includes additional teacher resources, such as 

Q&As and study guides as well as photo and video special features. 

The adult title has been on the New York Times bestseller list for over 55 weeks; was 

Amazon's Best Nonfiction Book of 2010; and was selected as a 2010 best book by more 

than 60 publications, including People, Salon, Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, Entertainment 

Weekly, and was featured on CBS Sunday Morning and The Colbert Report. 

Film rights have been bought by HBO, Oprah Winfrey, and Alan Ball (True Blood). 

Praise for The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (the adult book): 

"Extraordinary."--The New Yorker 

"Writing with a novelist's artistry, a biologist's expertise, and the zeal of an 

investigative reporter, Skloot tells a truly astonishing story."--Booklist, Starred

Lexie 

Audrey Couloumbis; illustrated by Julia Denos 

A summer story from Newbery Honor winner, Audrey Couloumbis. 

Ten-year-old Lexie used to love going to the shore. For as long as she can 

remember, she's spent every summer there with her parents, eating hamburgers, 

swimming in the ocean, and combing the beach for treasure. This summer is 

going to be different though. Lexie's mom and daddy are divorced, and for the first 

time Mom won't be there. To make matters worse, Daddy has a surprise--his new 

girlfriend, Vicky, and her two sons are coming to stay with them for a week! Now 

Lexie has to share her house with perky Vicky, Vicky's moody teenage son Ben, 

and messy three-year-old Harris. The little beach house just doesn't seem big 

enough for so many people. Is there still room for Lexie? 

In a voice that's sharp, funny, and sincere, Newbery Honor-winning author 

Audrey Couloumbis tells the story of a girl discovering that if you pay attention, 

sometimes you can find treasure in the most unlikely places.

After an unfortunate incident at the hair salon, Bessica is not allowed to see

It doesn't help that her beloved grandma is off on some crazy road trip and has 

zero time to listen to Bessica. Or that Bessica has a ton of homework. Or that 

gorgeous Noll Beck thinks she's just a kid. Or that there are some serious 

psycho-bullies in her classes. Bessica doesn't care about being popular. She just 

wants to survive--and look cute. Is that too much to ask when you're 11? 


Every sixth grader can identify with Bessica: Bessica's struggle with Sylvie and their 

friendship, worrying about bullies, wanting to be a part of things but not knowing where or 

how to start . . . readers will instantly identify with Bessica Lefter. 

Author to watch: Kristen's first middle-grade novel, Camille McPhee Fell Under the Bus, 

received glowing reviews and was an School Library Journal Best Book of the Year. 

Perfect for teachers and librarians: Everything in this novel revolves around 

school--parting ways with a grade school friend, starting middle school, getting to know 

your teachers, and fitting in. 

"This is all about Bessica, a character whose newfound bear persona 

schoolmates and readers alike can applaud." --Kirkus Reviews

KRISTEN TRACY grew up in a small town in Idaho, where she learned a lot about 

bears. Sadly, she was not clever enough to reinvent herself in middle school. 

Also, technically, Kristen Tracy never went to middle school. She attended North 

Bonneville Junior High, where she took classes in industrial exploration (which 

involved lots of saws), Idaho history, public speaking, and keyboarding. Her least 

favorite class was PE, in which she was forced to run, tumble, hurdle, play 

shuffleboard, and perform the flexed-arm hang.

Rose Kent 

Ice cream warms the heart no matter the weather. 

That's the Dobson family motto. Whenever life throws them a curveball, they 

pull over for ice cream. The curveballs have been coming fast for Tess and her 

little brother Jordan lately--their energetic single mom talks big, but her business 

schemes have only landed them in serious financial hot water. 

But Ma's latest idea is different. This time, the family is moving to Schnectady, 

New York, where Ma plans to open her dream business: an ice cream parlor 

called "A Cherry On Top." Tess wants to be as enthusiastic as Ma about this plan, 

but she's worried. Downtown Schenectady has seen better days. Will anyone care 

about an ice cream shop? What happens when their money runs out again? And 

worst of all is Ma--only Tess and Jordan know about the days when she crashes 

and can't even get out of bed.

Bestselling author and columnist Carl Hiaasen takes kids on a riotous 

adventure in Florida's Everglades. 

Bunny Starch, the most feared biology teacher ever, is missing. She 

disappeared after a school field trip to Black Vine Swamp. And, to be honest, the 

kids in her class are relieved. Nick and Marta think the class delinquent, Smoke, 

has something to do with her disappearance. And he does! But not in the way 

they think. 

There's a lot more going on in Black Vine Swamp than any one player in this 

twisted tale can see. And Nick and Marta will have to reckon with an eccentric 

eco-avenger, a stuffed rat named Chelsea, a wannabe Texas oilman, a singing 

substitute teacher, and a ticked-off Florida panther before they really begin to see 

the big picture.

New to paperback! The author of Heart of a Shepherd offers another 

sensitive portrayal of military families, this time stationed abroad, in the city 

of Berlin at that historic time just after the wall came down. 

When 13-year-old Jody and her friends save a badly beaten Russian soldier 

from drowning, they put into motion a chain of events that will take them from 

Berlin to Paris and straight into danger. Jody must quickly learn to trust herself, 

because in the time directly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the border between 

friend and enemy is not as clear as it once was. Award-winning author of Heart of 

a Shepherd, Rosanne Parry, offers a fast-paced, coming-of-age story filled with 

adventure, music, friendship, and intrigue. 


A coming-of-age story filled with music and drama. 

Beautifully written, with a tight, fast-moving plot. 

Intelligent look at diverse cultures and motivations, including American and Russian 

soldiers, Estonians, and flamenco artists. 

Strong female characters. 

Author's Note explains why the Berlin Wall was erected and torn down and gives the 

author's account of living on the American base with her soldier husband directly after 

the wall came down. 

Heart of a Shepherd was honored as a Washington Post Best Kids' Book of the Year, a 

Horn Book Fanfare Best Book of the Year, a Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book of the 

Year, a Children's Indie Next List Pick, and a Publishers Weekly Flying Start. 

Praise for Heart of a Shepherd: 

"A depth and honesty seldom seen in contemporary children's literature. Rosanne 

Parry's first novel is something to celebrate."--The Washington Post 

"This first novel is an unassuming, transcendent joy."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred 

"Brother's honest voice conveys an emotional terrain as thoughtfully developed as 

Parry's evocation of the Western landscape."--The Horn Book Magazine, Starred 



ROSANNE PARRY moved to Germany in the spring of 1990 just as the Berlin 

Wall was coming down. She ran away to Paris for one glorious weekend with her 

soldier husband, first-born baby, and an enormous purple stroller. The three of 

them are best friends to this day. Rosanne is the author of Heart of a Shepherd, 

which has been honored as a Washington Post Best Kids' Book of the Year, a 

Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book of the Year, and a Horn Book Fanfare Best 

Book of the Year. She also plays the violin for which she has never been honored 

with a prize of any kind. She now lives with her husband in an old farmhouse in 

Portland, Oregon, where they raise four children, three chickens, five kinds of fruit, 

and their voices in the occasional song. Visit Rosanne at RosanneParry.com.

Rich Wallace 

"Exciting, tightly written sports passages . . . will keep kids turning the 

pages."--Booklist 

Riley feels like the smallest kid at sport camp. In fact, he is. He just turned 11 

in April, but most kids here are 12, and a few are even 13--and gigantic. It's hard 

enough for a shrimp like Riley to fit in. He just doesn't want to be the weak link as 

his bunk 'The Cabin Three Threshers' competes in several sports for the Camp 

Olympia Trophy. 

Riley knows he's no good at strength and accuracy games like basketball and 

softball. But when it comes to speed and endurance events, like running and 

swimming, he's better than he looks. He's pretty sure he can place in the top 

ten--and bring in major trophy points--in the final mile-long swim race across Lake 

Surprise. But he doesn't count on being followed by the shadow of Big Joe, the 

giant vicious snapping turtle of camp lore. Wasn't that supposed to be a legend?

Books of Laura Resau Readers Guide 


See page 278 for RandomHouse.biz 

This enchanting novel for early middle grade readers from award-winning 

author Laura Resau targets an underserved but growing population: the 

children of illegal immigrants. 

Zitlally's family is illegal, and her father has just been arrested for speeding and 

deported back to Mexico. As her family waits for him to return--they've paid a 

coyote to guide him back across the border--they receive news that he and the 

coyote's other charges have been kidnapped and held for ransom. Zitlally and a 

new friend find a dog in the forest near their trailer park, and name it "Star" for the 

star-shaped patch over its eye. As time goes on, Zitlally starts to believe that Star 

is her father's "spirit animal," and that as long as Star is safe, her father will be, 

also. But saving Star means finding his owner and convincing him or her to get the 

dog necessary medical care. 


Acclaimed Author: Laura Resau is beloved by critics and this novel received two starred 

reviews. 

Timely Subject: While there are many books out there about immigration, there are few 

for this age group that deal with the reality of living with illegal or undocumented parents. 

A Special Package: Features beautiful cover art and interior black-and-white illustrations. 

A New Readership: This is the first of Resau's novels to be for younger readers, age 

7-10. 

Great For Educators: While the story can be enjoyed by any reader, teachers will 

especially appreciate having a story for this younger age group that sensitively deals with 

the issue of immigration. 

Added value: Educators and casual readers will adore Laura's original story about spirit 

animals, her essay on immigration (and the controversy it causes), and the glossary of 

Spanish and Nuahatl words, all located in the back matter. 

"[An] unforgettable narrative of a of girl's a girl's daily daily struggle struggle to find to a find home." a home."

The Storm Before Atlanta 

Karen Schwabach 

Jeremy is determined to die gloriously for his country, even if he's only 11 

years old. 

At a time when most people have grown weary of the war between the states, 

two young children are desperate to find their way to the battlefields. Jeremy 

DeGroot wants nothing more than to join a troop as a drummer boy. For Dulcie, a 

runaway slave, freedom means she must head directly toward the fighting in the 

hopes that she'll become "contraband," that is, property of the Union troops. Both 

Jeremy and Dulcie find a place with the 107th New York Volunteer Regiment and 

even start to forge a friendship. But all that is threatened when they cross paths 

with the mysterious Charlie, a young Confederate soldier, who may look like the 

enemy but feels more like a friend.

Tall Story 

Candy Gourlay 

"Gourlay spins slender threads of wishes and prayers, magic and miracles, 

desires and redemption and weaves together an impressively sweet and 

rich tale."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred 

Andi is short. And she has lots of wishes. She wishes she could play on the 

school basketball team, she wishes for her own bedroom, but most of all she 

wishes that her long-lost half brother, Bernardo, could come and live in London 

where he belongs. 

Then Andi's biggest wish comes true and she's minutes away from becoming 

someone's little sister. As she waits anxiously for Bernardo to arrive from the 

Philippines, she hopes he'll turn out to be tall and just as crazy as she is about 

basketball. When he finally arrives, he's tall all right. Eight feet tall, in fact--plagued 

by condition called Gigantism and troubled by secrets that he believes led to his 

phenomenal growth.

Newbery Honor Winner and New York Times Bestseller! 

Life isn't like the movies and 11-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. She's 

smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood 

ending. After all, it's 1935 and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. So 

when Turtle's mother gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesn't like kids, 

Turtle says goodbye and heads off to Florida to live with relatives. Florida's like 

nothing Turtle's ever seen before though. It's full of rag tag boy cousins, family 

secrets to unravel . . . and even a little bit of fun. Before she knows what's 

happened, Turtle finds herself coming out of her shell and as she does, her world 

opens up in the most unexpected ways. Inspired by family stories, three-time 

Newbery Honor winner Jennifer L. Holm blends family lore with America's past, in 

this charming, gem of a novel rich in history, humor, and the unique flavors of Key 

West.

Young Fredle 

Cynthia Voigt; illustrated by Louise Yates 

"Move Over, Stuart Little"--Kirkus Reviews, Starred 

From Newbery Medalist Cynthia Voigt comes a heartwarming tale of one 

mouse's quest to figure out where he truly belongs. 

Cynthia Voigt crafts a novel about discovery, perspective, and the meaning of 

home--all through the eyes of an affable and worried little mouse. 

Fredle is an earnest young fellow suddenly cast out of his cozy home behind 

the kitchen cabinets--into the outside. It's a new world of color and texture and 

grass and sky. But with all that comes snakes and rain and lawnmowers and 

raccoons and a different sort of mouse (field mice, they're called, not entirely 

trustworthy). Do the dangers outweigh the thrill of discovery? Fredle's quest to get 

back inside soon becomes a wild adventure of predators and allies, of discovery 

and nostalgia. And, as Fredle will come to understand, of freedom.

The Story of Oil in Our Lives 

Albert Marrin 

The gripping and accessible story of oil, a driving force in today's world 

Oil is not pretty, but it is a resource that drives the modern world. It has made 

fortunes for the lucky few and provided jobs for millions of ordinary folks. 

Thick and slippery, crude oil has an evil smell. Yet without it, life as we live it 

today would be impossible. Oil fuels our engines, heats our homes, and powers 

the machines that make the everyday things we take for granted, from shopping 

bags to computers to medical equipment. Nations throughout the last century 

have gone to war over it. Indeed, oil influences every aspect of modern life. It 

helps shape the history, society, politics, and economy of every nation on earth.

The Book of Blood and Shadow 

Robin Wasserman 

One girl is determined to find the truth and avenge the dead. 

It was like a nightmare, but there was no waking up. When the night began, 

Nora had two best friends and an embarrassingly storybook one true love. When it 

ended, she had nothing but blood on her hands and an echoing scream that 

stopped only when the tranquilizers pierced her veins and left her in the merciful 

dark.

But the next morning, it was all still true: Chris was dead. His girlfriend Adriane, 

Nora's best friend, was catatonic. And Max, Nora's sweet, smart, soft-spoken 

Prince Charming, was gone. He was also--according to the police, according to 

her parents, according to everyone--a murderer. 

Desperate to prove his innocence, Nora follows the trail of blood, no matter 

where it leads. It ultimately brings her to the ancient streets of Prague, where she 

is drawn into a dark web of secret societies and shadowy conspirators, all driven 

by a mad desire to possess something that might not even exist. For buried in a 

centuries-old manuscript is the secret to ultimate knowledge and communion with 

the divine; it is said that he who controls the Lumen Dei controls the world. 

Unbeknownst to her, Nora now holds the crucial key to unlocking its secrets. Her 

night of blood is just one piece in a puzzle that spans continents and centuries. 

Solving it may be the only way she can save her own life. 


A taught, literary thriller with unexpected twists and turns that keep the reader on the 

edge of his/her seat from start to finish. 

The writing here is gorgeous--Robin Wasserman has real literary talent in addition to her 

commercial appeal. 

Praise for Hacking Harvard: 

"Wasserman, author of the novels in the Seven Deadly Sins series and a Harvard 

alumna, writes a story that is harsh, funny, sophisticated, unpredictable, and edgy. 

The carefully crafted storyline is full of twists and turns, concluding with a 

surprising ending, and the central characters are multidimensional and 

multitalented young people who speak in authentic, clever dialogue."--Booklist

Leatherwings, Malora will need her horse skills just to survive. The last living 

human, Malora roams the wilderness at the head of a band of magnificent horses, 

relying only on her own wits, strength, and courage. When she is captured by a 

group of centaurs and taken to their city, Malora must decide whether the comforts

keep them.

High society, murder, romance, and intrigue fill this seductive Venetian tale. 

In a city of secrets, what's yours worth? 

Venice, 1585. 

When 16-year-old Laura della Scala learns that her older sister, Beatrice, has 

drowned, she is given no time to grieve. Instead, Laura's father removes her from 

the convent where he forcibly sent her years earlier and orders her to marry 

Beatrice's fiancé, a repulsive old merchant named Vincenzo. Panicked, Laura 

betrays a powerful man to earn her way into the Segreta, a shadowy society of 

women who deal in only one currency--secrets. The Segreta seems like the 

answer to Laura's prayers. The day after she joins their ranks, Vincenzo is publicly 

humiliated and conveniently exiled. Soon, however, Laura begins to suspect that 

her sister's death was not a tragic accident but a cold-blooded murder--one that 

might involve the Segreta and the women she has come to trust. 


Romance, intrigue, and secrets will draw readers into the dark, exciting world of 

historical Venice. 

Strong Women: While men appear to have power, it is the women and their secret 

societies who really control the goings on in Venice. 

Fast-paced, intense writing reminiscent of Carrie Ryan. 

In the vein of A Great and Terrible Beauty, The Luxe, and our upcoming The Other 

Countess. 

Historical Venice is everywhere right now. Teen readers can't get enough of the 

glamour, drama, and romance that Venice has to offer. 


Author Residence: England 

SASHA GOULD lived in Venice until she was nine years old. She later studied 

fashion in London. Her favorite things are opera, ballet, and romantic movies. She

Coming of Age, Intergenerational, Making Choices 



An all-night cityscape moonlit love story. 

Senior year is over, and Lucy has the perfect way to celebrate: tonight, she's 

going to find Shadow, the mysterious graffiti artist whose work appears all over 

the city. He's out there somewhere--spraying color, spraying birds and blue sky on 

the night--and Lucy knows a guy who paints like Shadow is someone she could 

fall for. Really fall for. Instead, Lucy's stuck at a party with Ed, the guy she's 

managed to avoid since the most awkward date of her life. But when Ed tells her 

he knows where to find Shadow, they're suddenly on an all-night search around 

the city. And what Lucy can't see is the one thing that's right before her eyes. 


This all-night adventure--reminiscent of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist--is filled with 

spot-on witty dialogue, humor, risk, and passion. 

Alternating voices and poems sprinkled throughout make this a rich narrative of 

misunderstandings, shifting emotions, and overlapping scenes.

Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator 

Josh Berk 

Forensics club is all fun and games until you trip over a real dead body on 

your simulated crime scene. 

Guy Langman can't be bothered with much. But when his friend Anoop wants 

Guy to join the forensics club with him in the (possibly misguided) hopes of 

impressing some girls, Guy thinks why not. 

They certainly aren't expecting to find a real dead body on the simulated crime 

scene they're assigned to collect evidence from. But after some girlish, undignified 

screaming, the two realize it is indeed a body. Which means they have stumbled 

across a real, dead murder victim.

Theme: Coming of Age 



Meanwhile, Guy has been looking into the past of his father--a larger-than-life 

character who recently passed away. He was much older than Guy's mom, and 

had a whole past Guy never even knew about. Could his father's past and the 

dead body be linked? Does Guy want to know? He's going to need all his 

newfound forensics skills to find out . . . 


The second novel from an author on the radar as a talent to watch--Dark Days of 

Hambuger Halpin got two starred reviews and was a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2010 

and an Amazon Best of the Year So Far. 

Perfect for fans of King Dork or John Green's books--high school absurdity meets 

mystery (and a great father/son story). 

Witty, offbeat voice perfect for guys; unforgettable characters who are dorky, but get the 

girls and win the day.

The final installment in IRA Award-winning author Laura Resau's series 

about a globe-trotting mother-daughter duo. 

Down-to-earth Zeeta and her flighty mom, Layla, have spent years traveling 

the globe and soaking up everything each new culture has to offer. Now they've 

settled in the beachside town of Mazunte, Mexico, where Zeeta's true love, 

Wendell, has an internship photographing rare sea turtles. At first glance, Zeeta 

feels sure that Mazunte is paradise--she envisions dips in jade waters, sunsets 

over sea cliffs, moonlit walks in the surf. And she is determined to make Mazunte 

her home . . . for good. But as she and Wendell dig deeper to unearth her elusive 

father's past, Zeeta finds that paradise has its dark side. 


Acclaimed writer: Laura Resau received four starred reviews for What the Moon Saw 

and three for Red Glass, which went on to win the IRA Award for YA Fiction and the 

Américas Award. Both books were ALA Best Books for Young Adults, and the Notebook 

series has been well reviewed. 

A familiar and accessible character: Zeeta and her mother are fantastic and relatable 

characters who become more complex in each book. 

A "staycation" in a book: Laura's beautifully described and richly detailed settings 

make you feel like you're there; she artfully describes cultures, food, and people in a way 

that makes you want to travel with her. 

Great for mother-daughter book clubs: Zeeta and Layla's relationship is realistic and 

filled with great topics for discussion. 

Praise for Laura Resau: 

"Resau has again crafted a complex and satisfying novel that is both a mystery 

and a tender, wise meditation on love and self-identity. Characters are rich and 

vibrant. Readers will want to read the first before starting this one and will likely be 

clamoring for the third."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred, on The Ruby Notebook 

"The characters fairly brim with life in this thoughtful, poignant novel." 

--Kirkus Reviews, on The Indigo Notebook 

"[An] unforgettable narrative of a girl's daily struggle to find a home."

My Awesome Awful Popularity Plan 

Seth Rudetsky 

A riotous tale of coming-of-age and coming out! 

Justin has two goals for sophomore year: to date Chuck, the hottest boy in 

school, and to become the king of Cool U, the table in the cafeteria where the "in" 

crowd sits. 

Unfortunately, he has the wrong look (short, plump, Brillo-pad curls), he has 

the wrong interests (Broadway, chorus violin), and he has the wrong friends 

(Spencer, into Eastern religions, and Mary Ann, who doesn't shave her armpits). 

And Chuck? Well, he's not gay; he's dating Becky, a girl in chorus with whom 

Justin is friendly. 

But Justin is determined.

Themes: Acceptance & Belonging, Gender Issues,

In detention one day (because he saw Chuck get it first), Justin comes up with 

a perfect plan: to allow Becky to continue dating Chuck, whom Becky's dad hates. 

They will pretend that Becky is dating Justin, whom Becky's dad loves. And when 

Becky and Justin go out on a fake date, Chuck will meet up with them for a real 

date with Becky. Chuck's bound to find Justin irresistable, right? What could go 

wrong? 

Seth Rudetsky's first novel for young adults is endearingly human, and 

laugh-out-loud funny, and any kid who ever aspired to Cool U will find Justin a 

welcome ally in the fight for popularity. 


Gay high school stories are very much in the news right now. Think Glee! 

Positive gay role models are needed in all mediums, and Justin is not only funny, but 

very three dimensional. 

Seth Rudetsky is a nationally known radio celebrity on Cirius Broadway, with a huge gay

funniest man I know. Period."--Kristin Chenoweth, Tony Award-winning actress

Fans of Jodi Picoult, Caroline B. Cooney, and Lurlene McDaniel--teens and 

adults alike--will relish this thrilling emotional rollercoaster ride as a web of 

family secrets brought to light devastates lives on both sides of the Atlantic. 

When 17-year-old Rosie's mother, Trudie, dies from Huntington's Disease, her 

pain is intensified by the knowledge that she has a fifty percent chance of 

inheriting the crippling disease herself. Only when Rosie tells her mother's best 

friend, "Aunt Sarah," that she is going to test for the disease does Sarah, a 

midwife, reveal that Trudie wasn't her real mother after all. Rosie was swapped at 

birth with a sickly baby who was destined to die.

Devastated, Rosie decides to trace her real mother, joining her ex-boyfriend on 

his gap year travels, to find her birth mother in California. But all does not go as 

planned. As Rosie discovers yet more of her family's deeply buried secrets and 

lies, she is left with an agonizing decision of her own, one which will be the most 

heart breaking and far-reaching of all. 


High concept, commercial, unabashed drama of two girls switched at birth. Explores the 

explosive boundaries between truth and lies, nature and nurture, right and wrong, and 

what happens when you're caught in the gray area in between, forced to make 

impossible, life-altering choices that will change other people's futures forever. 

Drama, suspense, and startling twists meet mystery and moral dilemma in this 

gripping novel that tackles issues of teen pregnancy, genetic testing, bereavement, 

revenge, forgiveness, first love, lies, what makes a family, and the unpredictable 

consequences of the choices we make. 

With compelling narrators (alternating teen girl voices) on both sides of a volatile rift, 

secrets from the past unravel and the desire to know the truth intensifies. But is the truth 

the most important thing or are some secrets best kept? 


KATIE DALE studied English literature at Sheffield University, spending a year at 

the Univeristy of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by a year at drama school, 

a national Shakespeare tour, and eight months backpacking through Southeast 

Asia.

Pampered princess. Chieftain's daughter. Secret shaman. Warrior. 

Himiko the beloved daughter of a chieftain in third century Japan has always 

been special. The day she was born there was a devastating earthquake, and the 

tribe's shamaness had an amazing vision revealing the young girl's future--one 

day this privledged child will be the spiritual and tribal leader over all of the tribes. 

Book One revolves around the events of Himiko's early teen years--her shaman 

lessons, friendships, contact with other tribes, and journey to save her family after 

a series of tragic events. Once again, Esther Friesner masterfully weaves together 

history, myth, and mysticism in a tale of a princess whose path is far from 

traditional. 


Our list is the home for grrl-empowering YA fantasy. Esther Friesner's Princesses of 

Myth novels are the perfect complement to books by Tamora Pierce. 

Fans of Esther's Helen of Troy stories (Nobody's Princess/Prize) and Nefertiti tales 

(Sphinx's Princess/Queen) will embrace the latest butt-kicking heroine. 

Educators will appreciate the strong historical grounding of the story. Esther's meticulous 

research reveals the exotic world of third century Japan--the customs and mores. The 

details are breathtaking. 

Talking points on heroism, privilege, family versus individual duty, gender roles, religion. 

Praise for Nobody's Princess: 

"Fans of mythology or historical fiction will enjoy this lively tale."--School Library 

Journal, Starred; "A rollicking good story . . . will leave readers crying out for a 

sequel."--Booklist; "This is my kind of Helen!"--Tamora Pierce 


This is the first novel in a two-part adventure. In Book Two (spring 2013), Himiko's story 

continues as she begins her ascension as ruler of all Japan.

Wanderlove 

Kirsten Hubbard 

This is the ultimate YA backpacker travel book. Pushes the envelope of the 

teen wanderlust novel and can be considered as an Eat, Pray, Love for 

teens. 18-year-old Bria, betrayed by an ex-boyfriend whose artistic dreams 

Bria let trump her own, grabs her backpack and takes off for Central 

America's La Ruta Maya. 

Are you a Global Vagabond? 

No, but 18-year-old Bria wants to be. In a quest for independence, her neglected 

art, and no-strings-attached hookups, she signs up for a tour of Central 

America--the wrong one. Middle-aged tourists are hardly the key to 

self-rediscovery.

Betrayal, Self-Esteem, Coming of Age 



So when Bria meets Rowan, devoted backpacker and dive instructor, and his 

outspoken sister Starling, she seizes the chance to ditch her group and join them 

off the beaten path. Bria's a good girl trying to go bad. Rowan's a bad boy trying to 

stay good. As they travel through Mayan villages and remote Belizean islands, 

they discover they're both seeking to leave behind the old versions of themselves. 

The secret to escaping the past, Rowan's found, is to keep moving forward. But 

Bria realizes she can't run forever. At some point, you have to look back. 


Layered and literary: Sketches from a notebook Bria keeps, created by Kirsten Hubbard 

herself, woven into the text, add to the authentic feel of the story, which is inspired by the 

author's career as a travel writer and real-life vagabond backpacking through Central 

America, including Mayan villages and Belizean isles. 

Wanderlove is a compulsion in the way someone might be in love or love art. It's being 

in love with the idea of focusing on the good, forgetting the bad. It's escaping your past 

by always moving forward to new places and adventures. 

Romance: When Bria meets Rowan, a handsome nomad who excels in escaping the 

past, she travels with him and can't help but fall in love. More importantly, she starts 

drawing again, regaining her art and mastering the art of moving forward. 

Fans of travel-themed books by Laura Resau, The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson, 

and Paper Towns by John Green will be swept away by Wanderlove.

Nothing to do. Nowhere to go. No one to talk to. 

For aspiring artist Amanda Walsh, who only half-jokingly goes by the nickname 

Zero, the summer before college was supposed to be fun--plain and simple. 

Hanging out with her best friend Jenn, going to clubs, painting, and counting down 

the days until her escape. But when must-have scholarship money doesn't 

materialize, and she has a falling out with Jenn that can only be described as 

majorly awkward, and Zero's parents relationship goes from tense to relentless 

fighting, her prospects start looking as bleak and surreal as a painting by her idol 

Salvador Dali. Will life truly imitate art? Will her new, unexpected relationship with 

a punk skater boy who seems too good to be real and support from the unlikeliest 

of sources show Zero that she's so much more than a name. 


A relatable coming-of-age story--teens will recognize themselves in Zero's less than 

perfect family, friendships, and awkward steps toward first love. 

Compelling first-person account--Zero's voice is raw and real. 

Engaging art and music scene as backdrop. 

Tom Leveen knows of what he speaks (and writes)--he has worked with teens at a local 

performing arts venue where he was the artistic director. 

Praise for Party: 

"Immediately intriguing . . . a quick and entertaining read"--School Library Journal 

"First-time author Leveen use varied points of view to touch on myriad issues . . . 

despite the often-heavy subject matter, the young narrators' compelling and 

largely believable voices lighten the tone of the novel. Their yearning to connect 

with each other shines through."--Booklist 

"From the very first line, to the very last, being hooked is inevitable." 

--PortraitMagazine.net 

"Examining friendship, dating, racism, sex, loss, and parents who do not 

understand, you're invited to the biggest party of the year--a carefree celebration 

that turns out to be anything but!"--Seventeen.com

From National Book Award finalist Tim Tharp, a timely and deeply affecting 

story of a sister whose brother returns home from service in Iraq 

unrecognizable. 

Ceejay has never been pretty or popular but she knows who she is: younger 

sister to Bobby, the most charming bad boy in town. Bobby's a bit wild, but with 

his big heart and sense of fun, everybody loves him. And nobody understands 

Ceejay like Bobby. 

Now, Ceejay can't wait for Bobby to return home from his tour in Iraq. But then 

he turns up unannounced and seems to be avoiding his family. And he's so 

different. His wild streak has become reckless. His sense of fun has become 

desperate. And seeing this, Ceejay's own tough shell begins to crack. How can 

she believe in being strong when her hero is broken?

"A glorious, gripping tale of a fierce girl torn between duty, dreams, and 

reality, love and war!"--Tamora Pierce 

Filled with passion, conflict, and cross-cultural perspectives, Dori Jones 

Yang challenges reader's views of the world, both past and present. 

Athletic and strong willed, Princess Emmajin's determined to do what no 

woman has done before: become a warrior in the army of her grandfather, the 

Great Khan Khubilai. In the Mongol world the only way to achieve respect is to 

show bravery and win glory on the battlefield. The last thing she wants is the 

distraction of the foreigner Marco Polo, who challenges her beliefs in the gardens 

of Xanadu. Marco has no skills in the "manly arts" of the Mongols: horse racing, 

archery, and wrestling. Still, he charms the Khan with his wit and story-telling. 

Emmajin sees a different Marco as they travel across 13th-century China, hunting 

'dragons' and fighting elephant-back warriors. Now she faces a different battle as 

she struggles with her attraction towards Marco and her incredible goal of winning 

fame as a soldier. 


Richly evoking an era shrouded in mystery, this stunning story captures the sweep and 

depth of the Mongol Empire, seen through the eyes of a teenage granddaughter of 

Khublai Khan, including her impressions of the traveling merchant Marco Polo, the first 

European to travel to China and write about it for westerners. His was the white man's 

version of the fabled court of Khubilai Khan. 

Xanadu was a real place, though the term evokes fantasy. With a strong heroine like 

Emmajin who trains as a warrior, pretending to be male, this will be enjoyed by fans of 

Tamora Pierce's Lioness Quartet, and Protector of the Small books. 

Great appeal for readers of historical novels such as Lisa See's Shanghai Girls and 

Adeline Yen Mah's Chinese Cinderella. 

"Emmajin's first-person narrative will capture readers with its scenes of adventure 

and its vivid depiction of a capable young woman in a time of change. The most 

involving element of the storytelling is Emmajin's ongoing struggle to forge her 

own way."--Booklist 

"Part love story, part military drama, part history, this exhilarating novel will appeal 

to a wide variety of readers."--The Bulletin, Recommended 


Author Residence: Seattle, WA 

Fluent in Mandarin, DORI JONES YANG was a foreign correspondent in China for 

Business Week. She and her family have traveled to Mongolia and visited the site 

of Xanadu, now in ruins, and the site of Khubilai Khan's palace at Khanbalik, 

which is now the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Christopher Paolini 

Eragon was the breakout book of the year, selling a million copies within 12 

months of publication and winning top spots on every imaginable bestseller 

list, from New York Times to USA Today to Publishers Weekly to Book 

Sense and beyond. A winner in all channels--chains, independents, mass 

merch, as well as schools and libraries--this trade paper edition of the 

instant classic should be an enormous hit. Just in time for summer reading, 

it will also seed the ground for Eldest, the next installment in the trilogy, due 

to publish in fall. A major motion picture of Eragon by Fox 2000 is also in 

the works, aiming to release in late 2005. The trade paperback release of 

Eragon, which is being translated into over 40 languages and is already an 

international sensation--is a major publishing event. 

The runaway bestseller--now in trade paperback!

The FitzOsbornes in Exile 

Michelle Cooper 

This sequel to A Brief History of Montmaray follows the fortunes of the royal 

FitzOsbornes, now living in London and trying to find a way to reclaim their 

beloved island home. 

Michelle Cooper combines the drama of pre-War Europe with the romance of 

debutante balls and gives us another compelling historical page turner. 

Sophia FitzOsborne and the royal family of Montmaray escaped their remote 

island home when the Germans attacked, and now find themselves in the lap of 

luxury. Sophie's journal fills us in on the social whirl of London's 1937 season, but 

even a princess in lovely new gowns finds it hard to fit in. Is there no other 

debutante who reads?!

A shimmering fantasy--an unforgettable world. 

When Trei loses his family in a tragic disaster, he must search out distant

stunning, majestic, and graced with kajuraihi, men who soar the skies with wings. 

Trei is instantly sky-mad, and desperate to be kajuraihi himself. The only one 

who fully understands his passion is Araenè, his newfound cousin. Prickly, 

sarcastic, and gifted, Araenè has a secret of her own . . . a dream a girl cannot

Trei and Araenè quickly become conspirators as they pursue their individual 

paths. But neither suspects that their lives will be deeply entwined, and that the 

fate of the Floating Islands will lie in their hands. . . .

One December night, 14-year-old Alex goes to bed. He wakes up to find that 

six months have disappeared. The family at the breakfast table are total strangers. 

When he looks in the mirror, another boy's face stares back at him. A boy named 

Flip. Unless Alex finds out what's happened and how to get back to his own life, 

he may be trapped forever inside a body that belongs to someone else. 


Flip is one of those rare books an editor is always hoping to find: one with a riveting 

story, terrific characters, and wonderful writing. 

From the first page, this manuscript pulls you in. Full of twists and turns, the story takes a 

somewhat familiar premise and makes it entirely fresh and unexpected. 

Bedford is an exciting new YA voice. Flip is a beautifully rendered account of a boy 

becoming undone when faced with the question, "what is the soul?"

Death & Dying 






Themes: Death, Dying & Grief, Friendship, Love & 

Romance 



Heart to Heart is a young adult contemporary novel that deals with loss and 

acceptance at the highest level--life and death realities. 

In this emotionally charged novel full of the mysteries of giving and sharing, 

Lurlene McDaniel explores the ways in which the complex bonds within families 

and between friends are tested at life's most challenging moments. 


Family and Friendship Dynamics: Readers will most certainly relate to and understand 

the true-to-life families and friendships depicted. 

Organ Donation: Organ donation is the central aspect of the novel and connects the 

initially separate worlds of the characters. Cellular memory--which has been reported by 

organ recipients but not validated by the scientific community--is also addressed. 

One-Parent Household: The realities of a one-parent household are woven into the lives 

of the characters. 

Healing: Healing, in many variations (due to illness, death, drug abuse) is intelligently 

explored. 

Praise for Heart to Heart: 

"A wrenching page-turner that is sure to please fans."--Booklist 

"Woven into this emotional text are threads related to parent/child relationships, 

first loves and death and dying, which add depth and a sadness that is expertly 

tempered with hope and a love of life."--Kirkus Reviews 

"Moves quickly and makes for a satisfying read. Give this to fans of McDaniel's 

work or anyone who enjoys a good cry."--School Library Journal 


LURLENE MCDANIEL began writing inspirational novels about teenagers facing 

life-altering situations when her son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Her

Jasper Jones 

Craig Silvey 

A riveting novel about a summer in which everything changes. 

Charlie Bucktin, a bookish 13-year-old, is startled one summer night by an 

urgent knock on his bedroom window. His visitor is Jasper Jones, an outcast in 

their small mining town, and he has come to ask for Charlie's help. Terribly afraid 

but desperate to impress, Charlie follows him into the night.

Jasper takes him to his secret glade, where Charlie witnesses Jasper's horrible 

discovery. With his secret like a brick in his belly, Charlie is pushed and pulled by 

a town closing in on itself in fear and suspicion. He locks horns with his 

tempestuous mother, falls nervously in love, and battles to keep a lid on his 

zealous best friend. In the simmering summer where everything changes, Charlie 

learns why the truth of things is so hard to know, and even harder to hold in his 

heart. This classic-in-the-making is a story readers will not soon forget, available 

for the first time in paperback. 


Contains all the hallmarks of a modern-day classic: a wonderfully awkward teenage hero, 

original and witty dialogue, adolescent yearning, and a gripping mystery. 

A quirky, heart-warming, and occasionally gut-wrenching story of first love, loss, and 

death. 

Winner of the Australian Indie Book of the Year and shortlisted for the Miles Franklin 

Award. 

Now available as an Ember trade paperback. 

"Jasper Jones confronts inhumanity and racism, as the stories of Mark Twain and 

Harper Lee did. It's about star-crossed lovers, as Romeo and Juliet was. It's a 

story in which the romantic myths we conceived in childhood collide with ugly 

headlines in contemporary newspapers."--The Australian Newspaper 

"There's tension, injustice, young love, hypocrisy, whiffs of The Catcher in the Rye 

and To Kill a Mockingbird, and, above all, the certainty that Silvey has planted 

himself in the landscape as one of our finest storytellers." 

--Australian Women's Weekly 

"First love has never tasted so bitter sweet. Five stars."--Who Magazine, (Australia)

From the author of Brett McCarthy: Work in Progress comes a YA novel 

about two best friends and the summer that changes their lives. 

This is a hilarious and heartbreaking story of two teen girls and the summer 

when everything changes for them. Both Henry and Eva are New Jersey natives 

and excellent athletes: Henry's a master on the tennis court and Eva is a graceful 

ballerina. When opportunity knocks for both of them the summer before their junior 

year in high school they throw open the door. Henry sees freedom from her 

overbearing father and a chance to build her talents on the court. Eva sees the 

chance to be the best, albeit with even more pressure to be graceful, lighter, more 

perfect on the dance floor. Soon, Eva's obsession with physical perfection leads 

her down the path to anorexia, and her health issues overwhelm everything else. 

But through it all these two best friends know that Jersey tomatoes are the best, 

and nothing will come between them. 


A frank and sympthathetic portrayal of anorexia and the pressures today's teens face. 

The narrative brims with humor and warmth, despite the serious subject matter. 

Alternating voices keep the story moving and engaging. 

Readers, both athletes and non-athletes, will identify with Henry and Eva as they struggle 

for excellence. 

Deals with complicated, universal issues: parental pressure, first relationships, 

self-definition. 

Praise for Brett McCarthy: Work in Progress: 

"Forceful and heartwarming, this coming-of-age story examines what happens 

when old friends are outgrown and loved ones are no longer there to lean 

on."--Publishers Weekly, Starred 

"It is Padian's fully developed characters and ear for teenage voices that make 

this a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt isolated in the middle 

of a crowd."--School Library Journal

The Hunt of the Unicorn 

C. C. Humphreys 

"Hand this to readers who like their heroines sassy and their settings vividly 

imagined."--The Bulletin 

Elayne thinks the old family story that one of her ancestors stepped through a 

tapestry into a world of mythical beasts makes a great fireside tale. But she lives 

in the real world. In New York City. And she's outgrown that kind of fantasy. Until 

she finds herself in front of a unicorn tapestry at the Cloisters museum and sees 

her initials woven into the fabric. And hears a unicorn calling to her. And slips and 

falls--into that other world.

Suddenly the line between fantasy and reality isn't so clear. But the danger is 

real enough. Almost before she can think, Elayne is attacked by a ferocious beast, 

rescued by a unicorn, and taken prisoner by a tyrant king. Each of them seems to 

have an idea about her--that she's a hero, a villain, dinner! But Elayne has a few 

ideas of her own. She wants to overthrow the king; she wants to tame the unicorn. 

She wants to go home! And she's willing to become both hero and villain to do it. 


A fast-paced, gripping adventure. 

A kick-ass heroine and a fantastical hero--a unicorn! 

Travels between two exciting worlds--a modern girl must survive in a medieval fantasy 

land, and a unicorn must make his way in New York City. 

Compulsively readable--perfect for paperback! 

"This is wish fulfillment at its finest, with Elayne playing the everday gal turned 

spunky heroine, battling not one but two treacherously handsome guys . . . The 

Land of the Fabulous Beast is, in a word, fabulous."--The Bulletin

Aoife Grayson's family is unique, in the worst way--every one of them, 

including her mother and her elder brother Conrad, has gone mad on their 16th 

birthday. And now, a ward of the state, and one of the only female students at the 

School of Engines, she is trying to pretend that her fate can be different. 


This is an intricately plotted story set in an amazingly unique world. 

A strong, intelligent female protagonist. (She's gifted in math and engineering.) 

Author writes an adult fantasy series (Nocturne City) with St. Martin's Press that's been 

on the bookscan bestseller list for adult fantasy. 

This is clean, intelligent YA that has a literary feel, but is firmly rooted in the commercial 

world of fantasy.

inventive machinery, foggy mists, ghastly ghouls, and creative 

landscapes."--Booklist 

"Steampunk and romance elegantly combine as Aoife finds the perfect bad boy for 

whom to fall . . . . Dark, intense, and compelling."--The Bulletin 

"A complex plot that spans several worlds. . . . Kittredge generates significant 

thrills and chills in this fast-moving tale."--Publishers Weekly

Do you believe in angels? 

"In this refreshing twist on a traditional call narrative, theological musings 

transform into urgent moral questions requiring decisive action as well as literal 

and metaphorical leaps of faith. Skillfully intertwining family, medical, and 

supernatural dramas with a sweet romantic subplot, Stein (High Dive) unleashes 

cosmic battles to play out among the inhabitants of smalltown Hamilton, 

Tennessee, a setting replete with Civil War history. Narrator Miriam, a college 

freshman and budding journalist, responds with a persuasive blend of faith and 

doubt to archangel Raphael's terrifying appearance, dropping out of college after 

her only partly successful attempt at obeying his command to "evacuate Tabitha 

before the Sabbath." Thus launched on an unexpected path, Miriam confronts a 

serious illness and the growing awareness that her spiritual quest pits her against 

her twin, Moses, a recruit of demonic forces. Additional parallels add intriguing 

nuance, such as the Christian and Jewish faith perspectives offered by the twins' 

divorced parents. Miriam's initial interpretation of her illness as divine punishment 

gives way to more complex theological reflections in this riveting tale, an angel 

book that stands out from the chorus."--Publishers Weekly, Starred review 


A thought-provoking and layered novel that begs to be discussed after reading. 

A true crossover book with much to offer both teenage and adult readers. 

Tammar Stein is an author with a growing literary reputation. Her two previous novels, 

Light Years and High Dive, have been critically acclaimed. 

"There's much to like . . . Miriam is engaging, her interfaith roots (Roman Catholic 

mother, Jewish father) interesting and the heavenly visitations credibly 

devastating. This intriguing exploration of divine intervention and cast of complex 

characters add up to a compelling read."--Kirkus Reviews

outrage to fight evil. . . . Kel's world is completely realized in quick, precise detail, 

but this time the stakes are higher than usual: the kingdom readers have come to 

know fights for its survival and familiar characters die."--Booklist

Betrayal, Self-Esteem, Coming of Age 



Will resonate with fans of John Green and Sarah Dessen and all mature 

novels with observant misfit characters aching to be noticed or falling into a 

wild group of older friends. 

It's hard finding beauty in the badlands of Washokey, Wyoming, but 

14-year-old Grace Carpenter knows it's not her mother's pageant obsessions, or 

the cowboy dances adored by her small-town classmates. True beauty is wild-girl 

Mandarin Ramey: 17, shameless and utterly carefree. Grace would give anything 

to be like Mandarin. When they're united for a project, they form an unlikely, 

explosive friendship, packed with nights spent skinny-dipping in the canal, 

liberating the town's animal-head trophies, and searching for someplace magic. 

Grace plays along when Mandarin suggests they run away together. Blame it on 

the crazy-making wildwinds plaguing their Badlands town. Because all too soon, 

Grace discovers Mandarin's unique beauty hides a girl who's troubled, broken, 

and even dangerous. And no matter how hard Grace fights to keep the magic, no 

friendship can withstand betrayal. 


Features an INTENSE, EXPLOSIVE FRIENDSHIP between a beautiful and wild, yet 

deeply flawed, girl and the reserved, bookish narrator who worships her. 

The allure and moody edge of OUTSIDERS AND MISFITS, removed from the typical 

teen social scene, is highlighted against the wildwinds of the Badlands of Wyoming. 

OBSESSIVE WORSHIP--observant, younger girl who pledges to do anything to be like 

the confident, detached, effortlessly sensual, and promiscuous older girl. 

Includes subject matter of a sexual nature. 

FAMILY DRAMA contains a quirky and dysfunctional mother/daughter dynamic. 

"A beautifully crafted, bitter sweet story about an unlikely friendship that sets two 

very different people free."--Melina Marchetta, author of the Printz Award winner Winner

Themes: Historical Fiction, Mystery & Suspense, 

Adventure, Love & Romance 



This captivating, cleverly plotted novel inspired by Shakespeare entwines 

the parallel worlds of mystery and romance in a tale of piracy, murder, and 

true love. 

Beneath the splendor of 17th century Venice lies a sinister underworld. Master 

Ashby, his daughter, Celia, and his clerk, Ned, know little of this complex world 

until Ashby, the representative of a group of London merchants, is sent to Venice 

to get to the bottom of the pirate attacks that have been plaguing their ships. 

Before the trio departs, an old acquaintance beseeches Ashby to solve another 

mystery as well--to find Sarah Tedeschi, a Jewish girl who vanished from the 

Venetian Ghetto after being accused of witchcraft by the Countess of Montemoro. 

But when Ashby is kidnapped in Venice, it is up to Celia and Ned to carry on the 

investigations. Are these seemingly disconnected mysteries somehow 

connected? Only the ranting, white-haired madman can lead Celia and Ned to the 

truth, revealing secrets that have been hidden for far too long. 


School and library: A perfect companion for classroom use as students are studying 

works of Shakespeare, particularly The Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet. 

True Love: The theme of love conquers all is never out of date, but now, more than ever, 

young women are devouring stories of true love inspired by the classics. 

Mystery: Set in the exquisite city of Venice, the mystery delivers and fascinates. 

Class Issues/Intolerance: Explores issues of intolerance, depicting both anti-Semitism 

and class distinctions, in the early 17th century. 

"Masson draws smoothly from The Merchant of Venice and Romeo and Juliet, 

and with such rich source material, it's hard to go wrong . . . enjoyable, fast-paced 

romantic mystery."--Kirkus Reviews 

"An exotic setting and delicious intrigue combine to make intense historical fiction 

in this tale of missing persons, murder, and, of course, romance. Cleverly plotted, 

the novel is filled with accurate historical details of both the cultural and legalistic 

aspects of 17th century Venetian life"--School Library Journal 

"Masson delights the reader with her characterization of Venice as a seductive 

and treacherous beauty, brimming with color, vitality and romance, but also full of 

secrets and danger."--Historical Novels Review 

"The Madman of Venice is a romantic mystery in the best sense."--BookPage.com

Sampler Available PDF now on RandomHouse.biz 



A moving, terrifying, and unconventional epic about fathers and sons, 

complex family ties, taboos, and the ever-present specter of mortality. 

Grave-robbing. What kind of monster would do such a thing? It's true that 

Leonardo da Vinci did it, Shakespeare wrote about it, and the resurrection men of 

19th century Scotland practically made it an art. But none of this matters to Joey 

Crouch, a 16-year-old straight-A student living in Chicago with his single mom. 

Everything changes when Joey's mother dies in a tragic accident and he is 

sent to rural Iowa to live with the father he has never known, a strange, solitary 

man with unimaginable secrets. Once father and son come to terms with each 

other, Joey's life takes a turn both macabre and exhilarating. 


Unique Voice: A unique perspective on the coming-of-age experience. 

Father/Son Dynamics: At the core of this story is a conflicted, unconventional, yet loving 

relationship between a boy and his father. 

Family/Death: The death of a parent and the importance of family bonds are integral 

parts of this novel. 

High School/Bullying/Revenge: These themes are explored in a very (and sometimes 

disturbingly) truthful way. 

Accessible Author: Daniel Kraus has an active online presence (Facebook; Twitter; 

DanielKraus.com). 

Praise for Rotters: 

"Grueling, demented, and so crammed with noxious awesomeness that I had to 

read it twice."--Scott Westerfeld, author of Leviathan and Uglies 

"A strongly written tale of adolescence, grave-robbing, and the mysteries of 

death, Daniel Kraus's Rotters is uncompromising, dark, and true." 

--Guillermo Del Toro, coauthor of The Strain Trilogy and director of Hellboy 

and Pan's Labyrinth, and Chuck Hogan, coauthor of The Strain Trilogy 

"This is an unforgettable book. An unforgettable character . . . and an adventure 

that leads to unforgettable HORROR. I loved it!"--R. L. Stine 

"A multi-layered, complex novel that pulls no punches. Terrific!" 

--Rick Yancey, author of The Monstrumologist 

"Kraus give the current crop of pretentiously serious supernatural YA novels a wild 

run for their money."--The Bulletin

"Readers will find a heroine that they can both identify with and admire. . . . 

Atypical chick-lit fare that deserves to stand beside McCafferty, Cabot, and 

Rennison."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred 

Okay, so here's the deal: there are books about volcanoes erupting and 

meteorites hitting Earth and plane crashes where the survivors have to eat 

people--those are extraordinary crises. That's not what this book is about. I'm 

more the ordinary catastrophe type. Hi, I'm Gert Garibaldi. Welcome to my crazy 

life. 


An Author with a Following: Amber Kizer gained many fans with her new dark 

paranormal series Meridian; those readers will be thrilled to find this earlier, different, but 

just as fabulous series. 

A Frank and Funny New Chick Lit Voice that Pulls No Punches: Like Louise 

Rennison, Amber Kizer creates a funny, overwhelmed teen heroine that readers will fall 

in love with. But Gert Garibaldi also discusses the awkward, the annoying, and the 

squirm-inducing in a way that will make teens laugh. 

Laugh-Out-Loud Funny, But with Deeper Moments: This installment has a brash 

voice and hilarious one-liners, but takes on subjects that cut deep, like a health crisis for 

Gert's dad and the struggles of her best friend Adam to figure out how to "come out" to 

his school. 

Refreshing Honesty About Taboo Subjects: Gert doesn't censor herself. Taboo 

subjects like sex ed, masturbation, homosexuality, and whether you're supposed to 

acknowledge the erection of the guy you're dancing with are discussed--in 

frank-yet-hilarious ways. 

An Energetic Self-Promoter with Experience Presenting to Audiences: Amber Kizer 

is enterprising and incredibly enthusiastic about these books. All websites referenced in 

the book have been reserved and will be made into Gert sites, along with 

OneButtCheek.com. 

"With her snarkiness and verve (but with more depth and less nonsense), Gert will 

appeal to older fans of Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson."--School Library 

Journal 



Author Residence: Seattle, WA 

AMBER KIZER is not one of those authors who wrote complete books at the age 

of three and always knew she wanted to be a writer. She merely enjoyed reading 

until a health challenge, beginning in college, forced her to start living outside the 

box. After one writing workshop, she fell in love with telling stories; a million pages 

of prose later she still loves it. For more information about Amber, check out

So Shelly 

Ty Roth 

A sophisticated odyssey-like adventure cleverly transposing the lives and 

personalities of Romantic poets Keats, Byron, and the Shelleys into high 

school teenagers. For fans of Looking for Alaska, Going Bovine, Thirteen 

Reason Why, and Prep. 

Until now, high school junior John Keats has only tiptoed near the edges of the 

vortex that is schoolmate and literary prodigy, Gordon Byron. That is, until their 

mutual friend, Shelly, drowns in a sailing accident.

Age: 14 UP

Abuse, Acceptance & Belonging, Friendship 



After stealing Shelly's ashes from her wake at Trinity Catholic High School, the 

boys set a course for the small Lake Erie island where Shelly's body had washed 

ashore and to where she wished to be returned. It would be one last "so Shelly" 

romantic quest. At least that's what they think. As they navigate around the 

obstacles and resist temptations during their odyssey, Keats and Gordon glue 

together the shattered pieces of Shelly's and their own pasts while attempting to 

make sense of her tragic and premature end. 


Hot topics: Sexual situations, dysfunctional families, suicide, alcohol and drug use, 

hidden costs of popularity/fame, friendship. 

Major themes: Love, death, living life urgently. 

"Based on a true story." Though forwarded in time by two centuries, many events in 

the narrative have been "ripped from the headlines" of the principal characters' lives and 

placed in a modern milieu, and all of their personalities are as true to the characters' own 

as one can reasonably draw them based on academic study. 

Since So Shelly shares Romanticism's emphasis on energy, emotions, optimism, 

freedom, individual and social betterment, nonconformity, and revolution, it will effectively 

speak to and resonate with mature young adults ages 14 and up. 

"Lurid yet literary."--Kirkus Reviews 

"The smooth, playful writing style skillfully intertwines the stories of the 

protagonists . . . teenage girls will thoroughly enjoy."--VOYA.com 

"Inspired by, and broadly mirroring, the lives and relationships of the Romantic 

poets, this first novel is lush and emotional, infusing the indulgences, idealism, 

sensuality, excess, and impulsiveness of the Romantics in a contemporary 

setting."--Booklist 


Author Residence: Ohio 

TY ROTH teaches literature and composition at both the high school and 

university level. He has studied the romantic poets and enjoys teaching his 

students about them. He holds a sociology degree from Xavier University and a 

master's of English literature from the University of Toledo. He lives with his family 

in Sandusky, Ohio, along the shores of his much-loved Lake Erie.

Running is easy, but true escape is near impossible.

abusive father and build a new life with his older brother would be melodrama in

family from Avasthi.

Teenie 

Christopher Grant 

An honest and affecting debut novel--now in paperback. 

High school freshman Martine (Teenie for short) is a good student, with a 

bright future ahead of her. She's desperate to be accepted into a prestigious study 

abroad program in Spain so that she can see what life is like beyond the streets of 

Brooklyn. She wouldn't mind escaping from her strict (though lovable) parents for 

awhile either. But when the captain of the basketball team starts to pay attention 

to her after she's pined away for him for months and Cherise, her best friend, 

meets a guy online, Teenie's mind is on anything but her schoolwork. Teenie's 

longtime crush isn't what he seemed to be, nor is her best friend's online love. Can 

Teenie get her act together in time to save her friendship with Cherise, save her 

grade point average so that she can study in Spain, and save herself from a 

potentially dangerous relationship?

Three Black Swans 

Caroline B. Cooney 

Can the bonds of blood withstand the strains of long-hidden secrets that are 

at last revealed? 

When Missy hears an expert discussing newborn babies on the radio, it makes 

her wonder about her family. She and her cousin Claire are best friends who finish 

each others' sentences and practically read each others' minds. It's an eerie 

connection--so eerie that Missy has questions she wants to put to her parents. But 

she's afraid to ask.

Still, Missy can't let go of those nagging questions, so she decides to use a 

school project about scientific hoaxes to try to uncover the answers, and she 

enlists Claire to help. As part of the project, they perform a dramatic scene that is 

captured on video at school. After the video is posted on YouTube, Missy and 

Claire realize that they've opened Pandora's Box. Not only are their identities 

called into question, but so is the future of everyone involved. 


Family relationships: Not since The Face on the Milk Carton has Cooney explored 

relationships as complex as those in this novel. 

Values: This novel explores whether being truthful is the answer in all situations. 

Adoption: The complexities of whether or not to reveal to a child that he/she is adopted 

is an important issue and is dealt with in a realistic and sensitive manner. 

Bond of multiples: The inherent traits and characteristics shared by 

twins/triplets/multiples is a main theme in this novel and an intriguing topic. 

Praise for Three Black Swans: 


"The entwined stories of the three sisters and their families will attract and hold 

Cooney's many loyal fans."--Booklist 

"Cooney exercises her usual gift for making bland, fortunate suburbs the site of 

fabulous secrets and utterly real, compelling reactions to them."--The Bulletin 

"Cooney devises copious explanations to give her tale credibility. . . . The ending is 

thoughtfully realistic."--Kirkus Reviews 

"An exhilarating investigation of displacement, regret, and the bonds of 

sisterhood."--Publishers Weekly

In the glamorous Gilded Age, Michele learns that a wedding is coming up 

between the Windsors and another prominent family, the Walkers. But when 

Michele attends a party, something miraculous happens: while almost no one can 

see her in this era, one gorgeous young man with sparkling blue eyes can. Drawn 

together by mutual attraction, the two bond over music and the parents they've 

recently lost. But when the party is over, Michele learns the truth--the man she just 

fell for is Phillip Walker. And she, unknowingly, has just inspired him to call off his 

wedding to her great-great-aunt, prompting a family feud that will last for 

generations. 

As Michele travels back and forth in time, she and Phillip meet over and over, 

always frustrated by their inability to have more than a few hours together. Michele 

knows she should try to make a life in the present, but none of the boys at school 

can hold a candle to Phillip. Finally, Michele tries to end their romance 

altogether--spurring a tragedy that transcends generations. Has Michele 

destroyed her chances for happiness? Or is her love for Phillip . . . timeless?

Collected here for the first time are six tales from the land of Tortall, featuring 

both previously unknown characters as well as old friends. Filling some gaps of 

time and interest, these stories, some of which have been published before, will 

lead Tammy's fans, and new readers into one of the most intricately constructed 

worlds of modern fantasy. Also included are four other fantasy stories . . . one set 

in a remote desert, two in an unknown town, and one set in a very familiar locale: 

New York City, in the present day. Also, as a bonus, there is a non-fantasy story 

set in contemporary Idaho that proves that Pierce's ability to spin a tale is not 

limited to realms of dragons and magic. 


Tammy's latest book, Bloodhound, debuted at number one on the New York Times 

bestseller list. 

Three brand-new Tortall stories make this a must for fans of Tammy Pierce's previous 

titles, as well as fans of the fantasy genre. 

Tammy Pierce fans will be thrilled to have all the Tortall stories collected in one volume. 

Tamora Pierce's previous titles have collectively sold over 1.5 million copies in paperback. 

Strong, adventurous heroines and heros attract boy readers as well as girls! 

Adult crossover potential. 


Author Residence: Syracuse, NY 

New York Times bestselling writer TAMORA PIERCE captured the imagination of

written 16 books about the extraordinary kingdom of Tortall, with another to come 

in fall 2011. She lives in upstate New York, with her husband and an assortment 

of wildlife.

Vixen 

Jillian Larkin 

Vixen is the first novel in the sexy, dangerous, and ridiculously romantic 

new Flapper series set in the Roaring Twenties . . . when anything goes. 

Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It's a dangerous combination. 

Every girl wants what she can't have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody 

wants the flapper lifestyle--and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights 

that go with it. Now that she's engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of 

Chicago's most powerful families, Gloria's party days are over before they've even 

begun . . . or are they? 

Clara Knowles, Gloria's goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the 

high-society wedding comes off without a hitch--but Clara isn't as lily-white as she 

appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she'll do anything 

to keep hidden. . . .

someone's going to be very sorry. . . .

Sexy period fiction: We're in the midst of the Jazz Age in Chicago circa 1923, where 

too many rules have lead to flagrant social rebellion: with girls who bob their hair, smoke 

cigarettes, guzzle gin, hike their hemlines, and flaunt their freedom all around town. 

The 1920s are the bee's knees: When Lauren Conrad, ex-reality star and New York 

Times bestselling novelist, was asked to name a book she's read repeatedly, she 

said--and girls heard: "The Great Gatsby. I've read it several times. I'm obsessed with the 

1920s." 

We're keen on these nifty covers: Stunning together or alone, the covers are matte lam 

with dusty foil emboss in a Gatsby-esque package.

Fantasy, Love & Romance 



Meg Cabot meets Donna Jo Napoli in a romantic time travel fantasy. A 

teenager tangles with the Fates and struggles with destiny when she 

encounters an evil sorceress who has stolen threads of human lives for her 

own dark designs. 

Tessa doesn't believe in magic. Or Fate. But there's something weird about the 

dusty unicorn tapestry she discovers in a box of old books. She finds the creature 

woven within it compelling and frightening. After the tapestry comes into her 

possession, Tessa experiences dreams of the past and scenes from a brutal hunt 

that she herself participated in. When she accidentally pulls a thread from the 

tapestry, Tessa releases a terrible centuries old secret. She also meets William de 

Chaucy, an irresistible 16th century nobleman. His fate is as inextricably tied to 

the tapestry as Tessa's own. Together, they must correct the wrongs of the past. 

But then the Fates step in, making a tangled mess of Tessa's life. Now everyone 

she loves will be destroyed unless Tessa does their bidding and defeats a cruel 

and crafty ancient enemy. 


Offers a new twisted thread in the realm of paranormal romance that includes three 

figures from Norse mythology. The Norn, a.k.a. the Fates, spin, weave, and cut the 

threads of human life. They decide Tessa must help them to right a wrong of centuries 

ago. 

Includes themes of being in control of our lives and whether or not human destiny is 

predetermined, woven like a thread in a vast tapestry by unknown forces. 

According to legend, unicorns can only be trapped by virgins. Centuries ago, a young 

maiden unwittingly helped trap a unicorn who was really a young nobleman. Centuries 

later, Tessa releases Will from his tapestry prison, and may be forced to trap him again. 

"This absorbing and mesmerizing read has it all--fantasy, romance, witchcraft, 

life-threatening situations, detective work, chase scenes, and a smattering of 

violence. Imaginative and compelling, it's impossible to put down."--School Library 

Journal, Starred 

--School Library Journal, Starred 

"The book . . . delivers action and romance. Teens who just can't get enough of 

the brooding hero and the spirited heroine will . . . pick this one up."--The Bulletin, 

Recommended

"[Tessa is] a charismatic heroine in a story this is suspenseful, romantic, and . . . 

very funny."--The Hornbook Magazine

Where strong voices become bestsellers! 

Random House Children’s Books is dedicated to cultivating and 

nurturing new talent. 

With proven editorial acumen, rich sales, marketing resources, 

publicity savvy, and production and design excellence, the Random 

House Children’s Books team has worked together with its authors 

to give readers proven first-time successes, such as New York Times 

bestsellers Eragon by Christopher Paolini and A Great and Terrible 

Beauty by Libba Bray, as well as The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau 

and the Printz Award winner How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. 

The future of the book industry lies with new literary voices. For 

that reason, we are committed to growing alongside our authors 

by implementing unique publishing and marketing programs that 

enhance our lists and deliver continued success stories to you: the 

bookseller, the teacher, the librarian. We know that it is the love 

of children’s literature we share with you that helps get these 

new voices into readers’ hands and, for this, we thank you. 

“As president of Random House 

Children’s Books, I am always 

eager and excited to acquire new 

talent for our house and our readers. 

It is a thrill to open the doors of our 

house to a new voice. The unequaled 

teamwork that goes into each and 

every Random House Children’s 

Book makes the challenge of 

breaking out a new author at a big 

house one that is unanimously 

embraced. I take great pride in 

knowing that we are contributing to 

the enrichment of young readers, as 

well as supporting new literary 

voices. Random House Children’s 

Books is truly motivated by this and 

we certainly could not do it as 

successfully without the help of 

booksellers, teachers, and librarians 

who believe in our cause.”

First Book and 


Encouraging New Readers Together Since 1992 

Dear First Book, 

“I think and believe that books are important. . . . Books take me places 

like the stars.”—Roshawn 

“The importance of developing early literacy skills cannot be overstated: 

we know that our kids will do better in school and in life if they are given 

the opportunity to read and interact with books from a very early age. 

Because of First Book, millions of children in Head Start programs across 

the country experience the magic and wonder of reading 

every day.”—Michael McGrady, Deputy Director, National Head Start Association 

The most important thing that can be done to improve the literacy rate in our 

country is to ensure that children have access to books. This is true simply because 

the only behavioral measure that correlates significantly with reading scores is the 

number of books in the home. Having age-appropriate books on shelves at home 

can dramatically change the course of an otherwise disadvantaged child’s life. 

Since 1992, First Book has been placing brand-new books into the hands of 

children in need, profoundly impacting their lives. The First Book model was 

developed to leverage the work of local heroes who reach children through 

existing literacy programs in a variety of settings, such as Head Start centers, 

libraries, soup kitchens, churches, housing projects, and after-school initiatives. 

After receiving books from First Book, surveys verify that a child’s interest in 

reading more than doubles, and that, in turn, they share that passion with others in 

their family. 

First Book has distributed 50 million books over the past 15 years, but that’s 

only a start. Random House is making a significant, multiyear commitment to First 

Book because, together, we have what it takes to make a real impact in our world. 

A $1.00 cash donation to First Book results in $10 worth of books 

directly to children in need. 

For more information about First Book and its national network of community organizations, visit FirstBook.org.
