El camioncito Azul (Little Blue Truck,

Spanish Edition)
Alice Schertle, illustrated by Jill McElmurry
The best-selling Little Blue Truck is now available in Spanish! El camioncito azul is a joyful

quacking—and begging for one more go-round! Along the way, readers see that it pays
to be kind to others. Jill McElmurry’s gouache illustrations of wild-eyed farm animals
and country roads are warm and wonderful, suiting the cheerfully rhyming text of Alice
Schertle to a T. This Spanish translation by award-winning poet Isabel Campoy
maintains the rhyme and charm of the original, and the sturdy board book pages are
sure to withstand many riotous read-aloud sessions.

Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to

Sleep (lap board book)
Joyce Dunbar, illustrated by Debi Gliori
Bedtime isn't so scary when you have such a nice morning to look forward to.
When little bunny Willa can't sleep, big brother Willoughby helps her think of all the
happy things that await her when the sun comes up—cozy slippers, a yummy breakfast,
and the morning itself, which loves to gently nudge her awake. For Willa, the happiest
thing of all is knowing that Willoughby will be there in the morning, too, just like
always. With soothing text, sweet illustrations, and cuddly bunny characters, this lap-
sized board book is a comforting way to say goodnight and sweet dreams. Features
shiny foil stars on the cover and sturdy, oversized pages.

with color. Laroche’s extraordinary three-dimensional paper-relief artwork makes
every colorful scenario pop, whether the wheels are spinning, whirring, racing, or
rolling.

Gideon
Olivier Dunrea
“With diminuitive heroes who assert a budding independence, these tales demonstrate
once again how well their creator knows his audience.” —Publishers Weekly, starred
review
Gideon likes to splash with the ducklings, hop with the frogs, play chase-the-piglets,
and scamper all over the farmyard. But one thing busy Gideon does not want to do is
take his nap, no matter how many times his mother asks . . . until he gets tuckered out,
of course.
Dunrea’s understated humor and signature illustrations make this one
spunky gosling story that his preschool fans (and their parents) won't want to miss!
Olivier Dunrea, a painter and sculptor, is the creator of beautiful and well-loved children’s books.
His work centers around farms, animals, architecture, and folklore. He lives in the tiny village of

Ball
Mary Sullivan
A dog with a ball is one of the most relentlessly hopeful creatures on Earth. After his
best little-girl pal leaves for school, this dog hits up yoga mom, baby, and even the angry
cat for a quick throw. No luck. Forced to go solo, the dog begins a hilarious one-sided
game of fetch until naptime’s wild, ball-centric dream sequence. The pictures speak a
thousand words in this comic book-style ode to canine monomania. Ball? Ball.
In her formative years, Mary Sullivan spent a great deal of time drawing. She received a BFA from
the University of Texas at Austin, and has shown her work in galleries and coffee shops in Dallas
and Austin. A freelancer for publishers from Pearson to Scholastic, she lives in Cedar Park, Texas.

Rain!
by Linda Ashman illustrated by Christian Robinson
One rainy day in the city, an eager little boy exclaims, “Rain!” Across town a grumpy
man grumbles, “Rain.” In this endearing picture book, a rainy-day cityscape comes to
life in vibrant, cut-paper-style artwork. The boy in his green frog hat splashes in
puddles—“Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy!”—while the old man curses the “dang puddles.” Can
the boy’s natural exuberance (and perhaps a cookie) cheer up the grouchy gentleman
and turn the day around?

Lullaby (For a Black Mother)

Langston Hughes, illustrated by Sean Qualls
“My little dark baby, / My little earth-thing, / My little love-one, / What shall I sing / For
your lullaby?" With a few simple words as smooth as a song, the poet Langston Hughes
celebrates the love between an African American mother and her baby. The award-
winning illustrator Sean Qualls’s painted and collaged artwork captures universally
powerful maternal moments with tenderness and whimsy. In the end, readers will find a
rare photo of baby Hughes and his mother, a biographical note, further reading, and
the complete lullaby. Like little love-ones, this beautiful book is a treasure.
The American poet Langston Hughes (1902–1967) penned many well-known poems, such as
“The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” “I, Too, Sing America,” and “The Dream Keeper.”
Sean Qualls received a Coretta Scott King Honor for Before John Was a Jazz Giant by Carole
Boston Weatherford. He lives in Brooklyn with his family. Visit him at www.seanqualls.com.

Mustache Baby
Bridget Heos, illustrated by Joy Ang
When Baby Billy is born with a mustache, his family takes it in stride. They are
reassured when he nobly saves the day in imaginary-play sessions as a cowboy or cop
and his mustache looks good-guy great. But as time passes, their worst fears are
confirmed when little Billy’s mustache starts to curl up at the ends in a suspiciously
villainous fashion. Sure enough, “Billy’s disreputable mustache led him into a life of
dreadful crime.” Plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor and cartoonish illustrations make
this the perfect baby-shower gift for a mustachioed father-to-be.
Bridget Heos is the author of thirteen young adult nonfiction books. She lives in Kansas City,
Missouri, with her husband and three sons. Visit her website at www.authorbridgetheos.com.

Gus, the Dinosaur Bus

Julia Liu, Illustrated by Bei Lynn
Gus is a very large, very special green dinosaur—and he makes the perfect city
schoolbus. Or does he? He causes traffic jams, gets tangled in telephone lines, knocks
down traffic lights, and creates potholes with his big stomping feet. If the principal fires
Gus from schoolbus duty, how will the thirty-ton dino find a new job? Lynn’s
wonderful, sketchy watercolor and pencil illustrations recall old classics, as does the
pleasantly preposterous story of a dinosaur who just wants to be helpful.
Julia Liu’s picture books have been published in China, Korea, Brazil, and the United States. This
is her first book with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. She lives in Taiwan.
Bei Lynn is an award-winning artist and illustrator who lives in Taiwan. The China Times has
selected her books for its Best Children’s Book of the Year list several times.

Have You Seen My New Blue Socks?

Eve Bunting, illustrated by Sergio Ruzzier
“I have lost my new blue socks. Did I put them in my box?” Simple rhymes—including
socks, box, fox, and ox!—spin the tale of a small duck who waddles through the
countryside, forlornly searching for his blue socks. “I’m trying not to be depressed. /
Without my socks I feel undressed.” Finally, a sharp-eyed peacock sees a bit of blue
peeking out of duck’s lace-up shoes and the mini-mystery is solved! Soft-hued, adorable
pen-and-ink and watercolor paintings adorn this winsome story that shares the familiar
experience of not really losing something after all.
Irish-born Eve Bunting is the beloved author of more than two hundred books, including Tweak
Tweak. She lives with her husband in Pasadena, California.
Sergio Ruzzier, who also illustrated Bunting’s Tweak Tweak, was born in Milan, Italy, and now

Mary Wrightly, So Politely

Shirin Yim Bridges, illustrated by Maria Monescillo
Mary Wrightly is the best-behaved little girl around. She always politely says please and
thank you and even “I’m sorry” when something isn’t her fault. But when a shopper
comes between Mary and the blue elephant toy she wants to buy for her beloved baby
brother, will Mary just let the woman walk away with it? Speak up, Mary! Monescillo’s
charming illustrations capture the spirit of this gentle look at how asserting oneself is
not rude, and even occasionally out-and-out necessary.

Cowpoke Clyde and Dirty Dawg

Lori Mortensen, illustrated by Michael Allen Austin
Cowpoke Clyde’s house was completely clean—he’d even shooed off the horseflies:
“Then right behind his cookin’ pot, / he spied one thing he’d plumb forgot: / ol’ Dawg,
his faithful, snorin’ friend, / all caked with mud from end to end.” Needless to say, Dawg
wakes up and runs. The chase that follows—with page-turn surprises—makes for a
hilarious shaggy-dog story involving fleas, a hog, bribery, cats, deception, and a mule.
The rhyming stanzas are pitch-perfect, Texas-style, and plumb near cry out to be read
aloud. Austin’s expressive acrylic and colored-pencil caricatures of Cowpoke Clyde and
his menagerie are priceless. A storytime shoo-in!
Lori Mortensen is an award-winning author. She lives with her family in California. Visit her

Happy Birdday, Tacky!

by Helen Lester, illustrated by Lynn Munsinger
“The Nice Icy Land was crackling with busy-ness.” It had taken weeks and a lot of
whispery chirps for Tacky the Penguin’s friends to plan a Perfect Surprise Birdday Party
for him on his special hatchday. With songs, presents, cake, fishy ice cream, and
surprise entertainment from Iglooslavia’s own Twinklewebs the Dance Queen, how
could anything go wrong? But it’s a comedy of errors . . . and all is far from perfect.
Luckily, Tacky’s good cheer—and his flippity dance moves—save the day with a flap of
his flippers and a tap of his tippywebs. Munsinger’s adorable, expressive penguin
illustrations are the icing on the cake.

Me First
Helen Lester, illustrated by Lynn Munsinger
“This funny, fetching tale will bring chuckles—and a lesson—to any child with a
tendency to echo Pinkerton’s cries of ‘Me first.’” –Publishers Weekly

Pinkerton Pig will do anything to be first—first down the slide, first in line at
the trough-a-teria, first on the bus. His pushy ploys backfire on a Pig Scouts hike when
he hears the magic words “Would you care for a sandwich?” Little does he know, he’s
being tricked by a sandcastle-dwelling Sandwitch in need of care! How long will
PInkerton be doomed to powder her warty nose? This cheery look at the dangers of
piggishness is now part of a fun, 8” x 8” hardcover series about life lessons.

It Wasn't My Fault
“Lester and artist Munsinger . . . team up again for another rib-tickling, off-the-wall
tale.” –Booklist

Murdley Gurdson is a spectacularly accident-prone boy. He falls into wastebaskets! He
drops only the most valuable vases. Worse yet: “Whatever happened, it was usually his
fault.” One day, as Murdley is taking a walk, a bird lays an egg above him and it splats
on his head. How could that really be Murdley’s fault? Turns out, it sort of is.
Munsinger’s hilarious illustrations help make this silly story about cause and effect as
lighthearted as it is useful. This read-aloud favorite is now part of a fun hardcover series
about life lessons!

A Porcupine Named Fluffy

“The humor is just absurd enough to make the picture-book set howl along with Hippo
and Fluffy.” –New York Times Book Review

Fluffy the porcupine is unhappy with his name: “So he decided to become fluffier.” He
climbs a tree and pretends to be a cloud! He even poses as a pillow. (His mother is not
pleased when she sits on him.) When Fluffy meets a rhinoceros named Hippo, it puts
his plight in perspective…and he makes a friend. This terrific tribute to self-
acceptance—complete with the cutest porcupine pictures on the planet—is now part
of a fun, 8” x 8” hardcover series about life lessons.

Listen, Buddy
“…this sprightly paced tale amiably nudges kids whose direction-following skills need
some honing.” —Publishers Weekly

“Buddy’s father had a beautiful big nose. He was a great sniffer. Buddy’s mother had
beautiful big teeth. She was a great chomper. Buddy had beautiful big ears. It didn’t
matter.” When someone says squash, Buddy hears wash. Tomatoes, you say? He buys
potatoes. One day—because he didn’t listen—Buddy accidentally ends up at Scruffy
Varmint’s scary cave. Unfortunately, he doesn’t listen to Scruffy, either…and almost
ends up as bunny stew! This delightful cautionary tale is now part of a fun, 8" x 8"

Nugget and Fang

Friends Forever--or Snack Time?
Tammi Sauer, illustrated by Michael Slack
In the deep ocean, tiny Nugget and big, toothy Fang get along swimmingly—until
Nugget’s first day of minnow school. There Nugget learns that minnows are supposed
to be afraid of sharks! To regain Nugget’s trust, Fang takes desperate (and hilarious)
measures. But it’s not until his big sharp teeth save the entire school that minnows learn
this shark is no foe. Fantastically stylized artwork adds even more humor to this
undersea story of unlikely friendship.

Crankee Doodle
Tom Angleberger, illustrated by Cece Bell
“Yankee Doodle went to town / a-riding on a pony / stuck a feather in his hat / and
called it macaroni.” Many know the song “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” but few understand
it. This unapologetically silly picture book reveals that the legendary ride to town (and
the whole macaroni thing) was all suggested by Mr. Doodle’s overeager pony. This just
makes Mr. Doodle cranky: “I do not want macaroni. I do not want a feather. I do not
want any other clothing, any other pasta, or any other parts of a bird. I do not want
anything that they have in town!” A historical note ends this colorful, comical take on a
nonsensical old song.

Tallulah's Toe Shoes

Marilyn Singer, illustrated by Alexandra Boiger
Tallulah is back in ballet class and now she wants to go en pointe—to dance up on the
tips of her toes in pink satin toe shoes, like a real ballerina. But going en pointe is not
good for growing feet, and her ballet teacher says her feet aren't ready yet. Oh, yes, they
are, Tallulah thinks. And so am I. Not only is she ready, she's determined. And nothing
stops Tallulah when her mind is made up!

When Stravinsky Met Nijinsky

Two Artists, Their Ballet, and One Extraordinary Riot
Lauren Stringer
The Russian artists Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinsky were popular in their time:
Stravinsky for music, Nijinsky for dance. When their radically new ballet, The Rite of
Spring, was first performed in Paris on May 29, 1913, the reaction was so polarized,
there were fistfights and riots! Brilliant or disastrous, the performance marked the birth
of modern music and dance. Stringer’s rhythmic text and gloriously inventive, color-
rich paintings capture the wild and imaginative collaboration of composer and
choreographer. The fascinating author note includes photos of the dynamic duo and
The Rite of Spring dancers.
Lauren Stringer discovered the connection between Stravinsky and Nijinsky at a performance of
The Rite of Spring. She is the award-winning author-illustrator of Winter Is the Warmest Season,
and the illustrator of many other picture books. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Visit her

Mister and Lady Day

Billie Holiday and the Dog Who Loved Her
Amy Novesky, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley Newton
Billie Holiday—also known as Lady Day—had fame, style, a stellar voice, big gardenias
in her hair, and lots of dogs. She had a coat-pocket poodle, a beagle, Chihuahuas, a
Great Dane, and more, but her favorite was a boxer named Mister. Mister was always
there to bolster her courage through good times and bad, even before her legendary
appearance at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Newton’s stylish illustrations keep the simply
told story focused on the loving bond between Billie Holiday and her treasured boxer.
An author’s note deals more directly with the singer’s troubled life, and includes a little-
known photo of Mister and Lady Day!
Amy Novesky’s lyrical writing makes true stories about singers and artists come to life. She lives

Eight Dolphins of Katrina

A True Tale of Survival
by Janet Wyman Coleman, illustrated by Yan Nascimbene
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina crashed a forty-foot tidal wave over the Marine
Life Oceanarium in Gulfport, Mississippi. The dolphin house was demolished, and its
inhabitants swept from their tank into the Gulf of Mexico. After growing up in captivity,
how could the eight bottlenose dolphins feed and protect themselves in the wild? And if
they could survive, would their trainers ever see them again? This fascinating picture
book—enriched with both beautiful color-wash illustrations and photographs taken by
the trainers themselves—tells this dramatic, happy-ending story.
Janet Wyman Coleman, the award-winning children’s author of Secrets, Lies, Gizmos, and
Spies, lives in Wayland, Massachusetts.

Forest Has a Song

Poems
Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, illustrated by Robbin Gourley
A spider is a “never-tangling dangling spinner / knitting angles, trapping dinner.” A tree
frog proposes, “Marry me. Please marry me… / Pick me now. / Make me your choice. /
I’m one great frog / with one strong voice.” VanDerwater lets the denizens of the forest
speak for themselves in twenty-six lighthearted, easy-to-read poems. As she observes,
“Silence in Forest / never lasts long. / Melody / is everywhere / mixing in / with piney
air. / Forest has a song.” The graceful, appealing watercolor illustrations perfectly suit
these charming poems that invite young readers into the woodland world at every
season.
Amy Ludwig VanDerwater’s poems have appeared in magazines and in children’s anthologies.
She lives with her family in Holland, New York. Visit her website at www.amylv.com.

Dodsworth in Tokyo
Tim Egan
With trips to New York, Paris, London, and Rome under their belts, Dodsworth and the
duck head for Japan: “The plane glided over Mount Fuji. Tokyo sparkled in the
distance. Dodsworth was a little nervous.” Dodsworth has good reason to be nervous—
the duck bumps into a rickshaw, falls into a koi pond (he can’t swim), and knocks over
a tray of wagashi! Readers will love the slapstick humor and the odd-couple friendship
between Dodsworth and the duck. Four engaging chapters of short sentences, clean
design, and gem-like little paintings of the Land of the Rising Sun make it easy for early
readers to enjoy the journey.
Tim Egan is the author and illustrator of the Dodsworth series, and is well known for his sense of
humor, both in words and pictures. He lives in Southern California with his wife, Ann, and their

The Meanest Birthday Girl

Josh Schneider
It’s Dana’s birthday, so she can do what she likes. And what Dana likes to do is pinch.
And call people names. And steal her classmates’ desserts. You probably know a kid like
Dana. What can stop her from being so mean? In this story, it’s not what you might
expect. Because sometimes, it takes a little creativity (and possibly a very large pet) to
change a mean kid’s ways. Five short chapters with comical full-color illustrations offer
a fresh, fun take on bullying and birthdays (and pet elephants).
Josh Schneider is the Geisel Award–winning creator of Tales for Very Picky Eaters. He lives in
Chicago, Illinois, with his wife, Dana (who is much less terrible than the Dana in this book), and
their cat, Gabi (who is just about as terrible as the pet in this book).

Gone Fishing
A novel
Tamera Will Wissinger, illustrated by Matthew Cordell
Nine-year-old Sam loves fishing with his dad. So when his pesky little sister, Lucy, horns
in on their fishing trip, he’s none too pleased: “Where’s my stringer? / Something’s
wrong! / The princess doll does not belong!” All ends well in this winsome book of
poems—each labeled with its proper poetic form, from quatrain to tercet. Together the
poems build a dawn-to-dusk story of a father-son bond, of sibling harmony lost and
found—and most of all, of delicious anticipation. Charming line drawings animate the
poetry with humor and drama, and the extensive Poet’s Tackle Box at the end makes
this the perfect primer to hook aspiring poets of all ages.
Tamera Will Wissinger has fond memories of night-crawler hunting with her father before fishing
trips. She shares her time between Florida and Chicago. This is her first book.
Matthew Cordell knows all about fishing trips from his South Carolina childhood. He lives with
his family in Gurnee, Illinois. Visit his website at www.matthewcordell.com.

Martha Speaks: Summer Fun Three

Stories in One
Based on characters created by Susan Meddaugh
In Leader of the Pack, Martha the talking dog is understandably upset to discover she’s
not part of Helen’s family tree. Should she embrace her wolf heritage and find a pack of
her own? In Martha Says It with Flowers, Martha has trouble finding just the right
birthday gift for Helen’s grandmother Lucille…meaning not a half-eaten rotten apple. In
Pool Party, Alice has a sunscreen malfunction and turns bright orange! Fans of the PBS
series Martha Speaks will love this colorful three-story round-up.
Susan Meddaugh is the creator of Martha, the beloved talking dog. Martha was a real dog who
lived with Susan and her family. One day, her son wondered if Martha would be able to talk if he
fed her alphabet soup. A star was born! Meddaugh now lives (with dogs, of course) in Sherborn,
Massachusetts. Visit her at www.marthathetalkingdog.com.

Martha Speaks: So You Want to Be a

Dog? (Chapter Book)
Hypothesis: “It’s easier being a dog than being a human.” This seems pretty safe to say,
but the notion is put to the test in this funny, action-packed, full-color chapter book
based on the PBS show Martha Speaks. When Carolina is turned into a dog, she finds out
how irresistible mud, meat, and squirrels can be…and ends up at the shelter! Then
T.D. volunteers to live as a dog for a day. Is it as easy at it looks? By the end, readers will
not only have had a good laugh, they’ll know the difference between empathy and
sympathy, manners and mannerisms, and more. A glossary and some fun activities
round out this perspective-tweaking early reader.

Hollywood, Dead Ahead
Kate Klise, illustrated by M. Sarah Klise
In this fifth volume from 43 Old Cemetery Road, the trio at Spence Mansion leaves
Ghastly for Hollywood, California . . . and for a shot at stardom!
The film producer Moe Block Busters wants to make the 43 Old Cemetery
Road story into a movie—and he promises it will be a sure-fire hit! Lured by the lights
of Tinseltown, Ignatius B. Grumply, Olive C. Spence, and Seymour Hope pack their
suitcases. But when they arrive in Hollywood, Olive has a sure-fire fit when she
discovers how quickly fame changes Iggy and Seymour. Even worse, Olive has been
written out of the script! “Little old lady ghosts are so yesterday,” says Moe. “What
America wants is a terrifying ghost named Evilo.” Well, if it’s Evilo they want, it’s Evilo
they’ll get. And Olive knows just the femme fatale to help her scare Hollywood’s most
despicable director half to death.
Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise are the creators of Dying to Meet You, the first book in their
illustrated 43 Old Cemetery Road series, which landed on many state award lists and which Kirkus
Reviews called "a quirky, comedic romp." Kate lives in Norwood, Missouri, and leads writing

Frogged
Vivian Vande Velde
One should be able to say of a princess “She was as good as she was beautiful,”
according to The Art of Being a Princess (third revised edition), which the almost-thirteen-
year-old Princess Imogene is supposed to be reading. Not feeling particularly good, or
all that beautiful, she heads for a nearby pond, where, unfortunately, a talking frog
tricks her into kissing him. No prince appears, as one might expect. Instead, the
princess turns into a frog herself! Thus launches a funny, wonderfully spun fractured
fairy tale in which Imogene wonders if she will be forever frogified.
Vivian Vande Velde has written many highly acclaimed books for teen and middle grade readers,
including Three Good Deeds, Heir Apparent, Deadly Pink, and the Edgar Award–winning Never

The Center of Everything

Linda Urban
For Ruby Pepperdine, the “center of everything” is on the rooftop of Pepperdine
Motors in her donut-obsessed town of Bunning, New Hampshire, stargazing from the
circle of her grandmother Gigi’s hug. That’s how everything is supposed to be—until
Ruby messes up and things spin out of control. But she has one last hope. It all depends
on what happens on Bunning Day, when the entire town will hear Ruby read her
winning essay. And it depends on her twelfth birthday wish—unless she messes that up
too. Can Ruby’s wish set everything straight in her topsy-turvy world?
Linda Urban’s debut novel, A Crooked Kind of Perfect, was selected for many best books lists and
was nominated for twenty state awards. Her novel Hound Dog True received four starred reviews
and was named a Kirkus Best Book of 2011. A former bookseller, she lives in Montpelier, Vermont,

The Vine Basket

Josanne La Valley
Things aren’t looking good for fourteen-year-old Mehrigul. She yearns to be in school,
but she’s needed on the family farm. The longer she’s out of school, the more likely it is
that she’ll be sent off to a Chinese factory . . . perhaps never to return. Her only hope is
an American woman who buys one of her decorative vine baskets for a staggering sum
and says she will return in three weeks for more. Mehrigul must brave terrible storms,
torn-up hands from working the fields, and her father’s scorn to get the baskets done.
The stakes are high, and time is passing. A powerful intergenerational story of a strong,
creative young artist in a cruelly oppressive society.
The debut author Josanne LaValley traveled across the Taklamakan Desert to the Hotan region of
China, where she spent time among the Uyghur people. She has her MFA in writing children’s
books from Vermont College, and currently lives in New York City.

The Ugly One

Leanne Statland Ellis
“Why wouldn’t the gods remove my scar and heal me? It made no sense that I should
suffer this way.” Twelve-year-old Micay walks around her fifteenth-century Incan
village shielding the scarred side of her face that inspired the cruel name Millay, or
“Ugly One.” She escapes to her huaca rock, avoiding the villagers who shun her. Her
world shifts dramatically when a stranger gives her a sorry-looking baby macaw. The
bird becomes her dear companion on a journey that ultimately leads her to a new role
as shaman in Machu Picchu’s Sacred Sun City. Told in an engaging storyteller’s voice,
this is a stirring tale of a girl who finds her own strength.
Leanne Statland Ellis was inspired to write this novel by several visits to Peru and to Machu
Picchu. She lives with her family—and teaches third through fifth grades—near Chicago, Illinois.

down to the size of an amoeba, ooze into a gelatin capsule, and have his friend Harlan
slip it (him!) into Zooey’s Diet Coke. Told in three voices, this fantastical middle grade
novel takes Lenny deep into Zooey’s loud, splashing innards, where a talking astrovirus
named Astro has a bad attitude about white blood cells (“self-righteous pus-bags”) and
aromatic hormones disco dance. The question is, will Lenny and Zooey survive his
crazy experiment in nanotechnology?

Lives of the Scientists

Experiments, Explosions (and What the Neighbors Thought)
Kathleen Krull & Kathryn Hewitt
Scientists have a reputation for being focused on their work—and maybe even dull. But
take another look. Did you know that it’s believed Galileo was scolded by the Roman
Inquisition for sassing his mom? That Isaac Newton loved to examine soap bubbles?
That Albert Einstein loved to collect joke books, and that geneticist Barbara McClintock
wore a Groucho Marx disguise in public? With juicy tidbits about everything from
favorite foods to first loves, the subjects of Kathleen Krull and Kathryn Hewitt’s Lives of
the Scientists: Experiments, Explosions (and What the Neighbors Thought) are revealed as
creative, bold, sometimes eccentric—and anything but dull.
Kathleen Krull is well known for her innovative, award-winning nonfiction for young readers. She
is a book reviewer and former children's book editor. Ms. Krull lives in San Diego, California. Visit

The Tapir Scientist

Saving South America's Largest Mammal
Text by Sy Montgomery, Photographs by Nic Bishop
If you’ve never seen a lowland tapir, you’re not alone. Most of the people who live near
tapir habitat in Brazil’s vast Pantanal (“the Everglades on steroids”) haven’t seen the
elusive snorkel-snouted mammal, either. In this arresting nonfiction picture book,
Sibert winners Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop join a tapir-finding expedition led by the
Brazilian field scientist Pati Medici. Aspiring scientists will love the immediate, often
humorous “you are there” descriptions of fieldwork, and gadget lovers will revel in the
high-tech science at play, from microchips to the camera traps that capture the “soap
opera” of tapir life.
This is the Sibert Medal author Sy Montgomery’s ninth nonfiction title with Houghton Mifflin.
She lives in Hancock, New Hampshire. Visit her website at www.symontgomery.com.

Eruption!
Volcanoes and the Science of Saving Lives
text by Elizabeth Rusch, photographs by Tom Uhlman
“At 11:35 p.m., as Radio Armero played cheerful music, a towering wave of mud and
rocks bulldozed through the village, roaring like a squadron of fighter jets.” Twenty-
three thousand people died in the 1985 eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz.
Today, more than one billion people worldwide live in volcanic danger zones. In this
riveting nonfiction book—filled with spectacular photographs and sidebars—Rusch
reveals the perilous, adrenaline-fueled, life-saving work of an international volcano
crisis team (VDAP) and the sleeping giants they study, from Colombia to the Philippines,
from Chile to Indonesia.
Elizabeth Rusch has been obsessed with volcanoes since she watched the 1980 eruption of Mount
St. Helens on television. She lives in Portland, Oregon. Visit her website at

ultimately hopeful survival story.

Escape from the Pipe Men!

Mary G. Thompson
Thirteen-year-old Ryan Hawthorn has spent his life on display as a human exhibit in the
multi-eyed Pipe Men’s intergalactic zoo. When his father is accidentally poisoned, it’s up
to Ryan and his seven-year-old sister, Becky, to scour the universe for the antidote.
Along the way, they encounter many strange creatures—from the doglike Hottini to the
spindly-legged, hairy Xaxor—and learn that the Pipe Men (or, as Becky calls them,
“overgrown drainpipes”) are not kindly overlords, as they had been led to believe. It's
not only the humans who are planning to rebel! A wildly imaginative middle grade
space-travel adventure.
Mary G. Thompson was born and raised in Cottage Grove and Eugene, Oregon. She was a
practicing attorney for more than seven years, including almost five years in the U.S. Navy. She
currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. Visit her website at www.marygthompson.com.

dreamy study of the meaning of life. How horrible to be a grown-up—they all seem to
be needy, lonely, vain, or power-hungry. All the Little Prince cares about is being useful
to the flower he’s left behind on his very small planet, with only a few thorns to protect
her from the world. Sfar’s comic-book illustrations of the wide-eyed boy prince and
disheveled pilot he encounters in the African desert are edgier than the original

The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, introduction by Gregory Maguire
“I’m glad I was asked to be the ambassador for this book.” —Gregory Maguire

“A lovely story…which covers a poetic, yearning philosophy—not the sort of fable that
can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real
matters of consequence.” —New York Times Book Review

At first glance, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s 1943 classic The Little Prince—with its
winsome illustrations of a boy prince and his tiny planet—appears to be a children’s
fairy tale. It doesn’t take long, however, to discover that it speaks to readers of all ages.
This pocket-sized edition, perfect for teens, features Saint-Exupéry’s original full-color
illustrations and the unabridged text, a reader’s guide, and a introduction by Gregory
Maguire. Rediscover—or share—the magic!
Since then, the whimsical novella has sold more than 80 million copies.

Pulitzer Prize winner Untitled Subjects and, most recently, Trappings. He lives in New York City.

The Lightning Dreamer

Margarita Engle
“I find it so easy to forget / that I’m just a girl who is expected / to live / without
thoughts.” Opposing slavery in Cuba in the nineteenth century was dangerous. The
most daring abolitionists were poets who veiled their work in metaphor. Of these, the
boldest was Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, nicknamed Tula. In passionate, accessible
verses of her own, Engle evokes the voice of this book-loving feminist and abolitionist
who bravely resisted an arranged marriage at the age of fourteen, and was ultimately
courageous enough to fight against injustice. Historical notes, excerpts, and source
notes round out this exceptional tribute.
Margarita Engle is a Cuban American poet and novelist whose work has been published in many
countries. Her books include the Newbery Honor–winning Surrender Tree, The Poet Slave of
Cuba, Tropical Secrets, The Firefly Letters, and Hurricane Dancers. She lives with her husband in
Northern California. Visit her website at www.margaritaengle.com.

Spears
The Goblin Wars, Book Three
Kersten Hamilton
“Buy this novel for readers of Franny Billingsley and Dia Calhoun as well as fans of
urban fantasy.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review of Tyger Tyger: The Goblin Wars, Book
One

Locked doors are opening, and magical creatures are tumbling through
mysterious portals from Mag Mell, the world-between-worlds, into the streets of
Chicago. Meanwhile, the romance between seventeen-year-old Teagan, who is part
goblin, and the alluring bad boy Finn Mac Cumhaill is heating up . . . which is awkward,
to say the least, considering he is bound by a family curse to fight goblins his entire life.
Celtic mythology, adventure, and paranormal romance fuse in the electrifying finale of
the critically acclaimed Goblin Wars trilogy.
Kersten Hamilton has worked as a ranch hand, woodcutter, lumberjack, census taker,
archeological surveyor, and dinosaur hunter. She has written several picture books and many

The Twice Lost

Sarah Porter
Mermaids have been sinking ships and drowning humans for centuries, and now the
government is determined to put an end to the mermaid problem—by slaughtering all
of them. Luce, a mermaid with exceptionally threatening abilities, becomes their
number-one target, hunted as she flees down the coast toward San Francisco.
There she finds hundreds of mermaids living in exile under the docks of the
bay. These are the Twice Lost: once-human girls lost first when a trauma turned them
into mermaids, and lost a second time when they broke mermaid law and were rejected
by their tribes. Luce is stunned when they elect her as their leader. But she won’t be
their queen. She’ll be their general. And they will become the Twice Lost Army—
because this is war.
Sarah Porter is the author Lost Voices, Waking Storms, and The Twice Lost. She is also an artist and
a freelance public school teacher. Sarah and her husband live in Brooklyn, New York. Visit Sarah’s

Operation Oleander
Valerie O. Patterson
Ninth-grader Jess Westmark had the best of intentions when she started Operation
Oleander to raise money for a girls’ orphanage in Kabul. She named her charity for the
oleander that grows both in her Florida hometown and in Afghanistan, where her
father is deployed. But on one of her father's trips to deliver supplies to the orphans, a
car bomb explodes nearby and her father is gravely injured. Worse, her best friend’s
mother and some of the children are killed, and people are blaming Operation
Oleander for turning the orphanage into a military target for the Taliban. Is this all Jess’s
fault?
Valerie O. Patterson was raised in Florida. She has an MFA in children’s literature from Hollins

takes the small-town girl all the way to Madison Square Garden.

Cameron and the Girls

Edward Averett
“Mad crashes into happy and sad bounces off of guilty until they all live in a big smoky
heap in my mind.” Fourteen-year-old Cameron Galloway of Lexington, Washington,
understands that he has schizophreniform disorder and needs to take pills to quiet the
voices in his head. But he likes the voices, especially the gentle, encouraging voice of
The Girl. Conflicted, he turns to his friend Nina Savage, who is clinically depressed and
can relate to his horror of the numbing effects of medication. They make a pact to ditch
the pills. At first they feel triumphant, but soon Cameron’s untreated mind goes
haywire—to disastrous effect.
Edward Averett—clinical psychologist and award-winning author of Homing and The Rhyming
Season—was born in the Pacific Northwest and, except for four years in the wilds of Spain, has
lived in Washington State all his life. Visit his website at www.edwardaverett.com.

Tides
Betsy Cornwell
When high school senior Noah Gallagher and his adopted teenage sister, Lo, go to live
with their grandmother in her island cottage for the summer, they don’t expect much in
the way of adventure. Noah has landed a marine biology internship, and Lo wants to
draw and paint, perhaps even to vanquish her struggles with bulimia. But then things
take a dramatic turn for them both when Noah mistakenly tries to save a mysterious
girl from drowning. This dreamlike, suspenseful story—deftly told from multiple points
of view—dives deeply into selkie folklore while examining the fluid nature of love and
family.
The debut author Betsy Cornwell graduated from Smith College in 2010. She was a columnist

Krewe in their quest for wings.

The Caged Graves

Dianne K. Salerni
The year is 1867, and seventeen-year-old Verity Boone is excited to return from
Worcester, Massachusetts, to Catawissa, Pennsylvania, the hometown she left when she
was just a baby. Now she will finally meet the fiancé she knows only through letters!
Soon, however, she discovers two strangely caged graves . . . and learns that one of
them is her own mother’s. Verity swears she’ll get to the bottom of why her mother was
buried in “unhallowed ground” in this suspenseful teen mystery that swirls with rumors
of witchcraft, buried gold from the days of the War of Independence, and even more
shocking family secrets.

Under the Light

Laura Whitcomb
Helen needed a body to be with her beloved. Jenny had to escape from hers before her
spirit was broken. It was wicked, borrowing it, but love drives even the gentlest soul to
desperate acts.
And Helen, who has returned to help Jenny, finds herself trapped, haunting
the girl she wished to save. Jenny and Billy's love story begins out-of-body and
continues into the tumultuous realm of the living, where they are torn apart even as
they slowly remember falling in love.
Laura Whitcomb grew up in Pasadena, California, where she lived in a mildly haunted house
for twelve years. She is the winner of three Kay Snow Writing Awards and currently lives in
Portland, Oregon . Visit her website at www.laurawhitcomb.com.

Dark Triumph
Robin LaFevers
Sybella arrives at the convent’s doorstep half mad with grief and despair. Those that
serve Death are only too happy to offer her refuge—but at a price. The convent views
Sybella, naturally skilled in the arts of both death and seduction, as one of their most
dangerous weapons. But those assassin's skills are little comfort when the convent
returns her to a life that nearly drove her mad. And while Sybella is a weapon of justice
wrought by the god of Death himself, He must give her a reason to live. When she
discovers an unexpected ally imprisoned in the dungeons, will a daughter of Death find
something other than vengeance to live for?
Robin LaFevers was raised on a steady diet of fairy tales, Bulfinch’s Mythology, and nineteenth-
century poetry. It is not surprising that she grew up to be a hopeless romantic. She was lucky
enough to find her one true love, and is living happily ever after with him in the foothills of
Southern California. Visit her website at www.robinlafevers.com.

Dear Life, You Suck

Scott Blagden
“The shrinkadinks think I have a screw loose. Ain’t playing with a full deck. Whacked-
out wiring. Missing marbles.” Irreverent, foulmouthed seventeen-year-old Cricket is the
oldest ward in a Catholic boys’ home in Maine—and his life sucks. With prospects for
the future that range from professional fighter to professional drug dealer, he seems
doomed to a life of “criminal rapscallinity.” In fact, things look so bleak that Cricket
can’t help but wonder if his best option is one final cliff dive into the great unknown.
But then Wynona Bidaban steps into his world, and Cricket slowly realizes that maybe,
just maybe, life doesn’t totally suck.
Scott Blagden grew up in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and now makes his home on the coast near
Cape Cod, where he enjoys being a dad to his teenage twins. In addition to writing, he has been
self-employed in real estate for thirty years. Dear Life, You Suck is his first novel.

Nothing but Blue

Lisa Jahn-Clough
All dead. No one survived. All dead. This morbid chant haunts seventeen-year-old Blue as
she trudges through the countryside with just the clothes on her back, heading to her
childhood home on the ocean. Something absolutely awful has happened, she knows it,
but she doesn’t know what. She can’t even remember her name, so she calls herself
Blue. This gripping survival story—peppered with flashbacks to bittersweet times with
her boyfriend, Jake—strips life down to its bare bones. Blue learns, with the help of a
seemingly magical stray dog and kind people along the road, that the important thing is
to live.
Lisa Jahn-Clough has written many books for children, including Country Girl, City Girl and Me,
Penelope. She splits her time between southern New Jersey and Portland, Maine. Visit her website

Dr. Bird's Advice for Sad Poets

Evan Roskos
“I hate myself but I love Walt Whitman, the kook. Always positive. I need to be more
positive, so I wake myself up every morning with a song of myself.” Sixteen-year-old
James Whitman has been yawping (à la Whitman) at his abusive father ever since he
kicked his beloved older sister, Jorie, out of the house. James’s painful struggle with
anxiety and depression—along with his ongoing quest to understand what led to his
self-destructive sister’s exile—make for a heart-rending read, but his wild, exuberant
Whitmanization of the world and keen sense of humor keep this emotionally charged
debut novel buoyant.
Evan Roskos completed his MFA at Rutgers University–Newark in 2009, and currently lives in
Collingswood, New Jersey. He was named one of Narrative’s 20 Best New Writers, and has had
stories in Best Fiction, StoryQuarterly, and other literary journals. Visit his blog at

The Year of the Book

Andrea Cheng Illustrated by Abigail Halpin
“Readers discover the extraordinary within the ordinary, and witness how kindness can
draw trust and create confidence in a child.” —School Library Journal

In Chinese, peng you means “friend.” In any language, Anna knows that friendship is
complicated.
When Anna needs company, she turns to books, which provide what real life
cannot—companionship and insight into her world. Books, however, can't tell Anna
how to find a friend. She'll have to discover that on her own.
In the tradition of classics such as Lovelace’s Betsy-Tacy books and Estes’s The
Hundred Dresses, this novel explores what it takes to make friends and what it means to
be one.
Andrea Cheng writes picture books and middle grade and young adult novels, and also teaches
English as a Second Language and children’s literature. She walks daily near her Ohio home. Visit
her at www.andreacheng.com.
Abigail Halpin is an illustrator and a graphic designer. Away from the drawing table, she knits,
reads comic books, and plays the fiddle. She lives in New England. Visit her at

Once Upon a Marigold

Jean Ferris
Christian was clueless when he started spying on the royal family through his telescope.
He lives in a cave with a troll for a dad, after all. If his dad had only warned him about
all that mind-boggling love stuff, maybe things wouldn't be such a mess. Although then,
maybe, Princess Marigold would be dead. But Christian wasn't warned. And now that
he's fallen for the princess, it's up to him to untwist an odd love triangle—er, rectangle—
and foil a scheming queen who wants to take over the kingdom, even if it means
bumping off her own daughter.
Jean Ferris has written more than a dozen popular books for teens, including several ALA Best
Books for Young Adults and one YALSA Teens' Top Ten Best Book. She lives in San Diego,

Okay for Now

Gary D. Schmidt
National Book Award Finalist

“[A] stealthily powerful, unexpectedly affirming story of discovering and rescuing one’s
best self.”—Booklist, starred review

In this companion novel to The Wednesday Wars, Doug struggles to be more than the
“skinny thug” that some people think him to be. He finds an unlikely ally in Lil Spicer,
who gives him the strength to endure an abusive father, the suspicions of a town, and
the return of his oldest brother, forever scarred, from Vietnam. Schmidt expertly
weaves multiple themes of loss and recovery in a story teeming with distinctive, unusual
characters and invaluable lessons about love, creativity, and survival.

The Hive Detectives

Chronicle of a Honey Bee Catastrophe
Loree Griffin Burns
“A fascinating book.” —Booklist

Without honey bees, the world would be a different place. There would be no honey,
no beeswax for candles, and, worst of all, barely a fruit, nut, or vegetable to eat. So
imagine the beekeeper Dave Hackenburg’s horror when he discovered twenty million
of his charges had vanished. In The Hive Detectives, Loree Griffin Burns profiles bee
wranglers and bee scientists who have been working to understand colony collapse
disorder, or CCD. In this dramatic and enlightening story, readers explore the lives of
the fuzzy, buzzy insects and learn what might happen to us if they were gone.
Loree Griffin Burns, Ph.D., was stung five times while researching this book: once by accident
and four times while trying to capture an image. She lives, writes, and watches bees in central
Massachusetts, where she lives with her husband and three children. You can visit her at

can save Emily. So Grace enters the game, hoping to talk her sister out of virtual suicide
before time runs out. Otherwise Emily will die—for real.

Mister Death's Blue-Eyed Girls

Mary Downing Hahn
“A gripping story all the more chilling for its roots in real-life crime.”—Publishers Weekly,
starred review

The brutal murder of two teenage girls on the last day of Nora’s junior year throws her
into turmoil. Her certainties—friendships, religion, her resolve to find a boyfriend—are
shaken or cast off altogether. Most people share the comforting conviction that Buddy

How a Girl of Spirit and a Red Dog Confound Their Friends,

Packing Light
Ysabeau S. Wilce
“Offers some enjoyable twists . . . fans of Flora will not be disappointed.”—VOYA

Despite her troublesome attraction to magick, Flora has more or less spent her life
doing what's been expected of her. Now, at sixteen, she knows that this path has been
strewn with secrets. Sure that her true mother, Tiny Doom — long believed to be dead
— is alive, Flora becomes determined to find her and leave behind the lies she's been
told about who she is. Flora's quest takes her on a journey from lawless islands to the
deadly desert, and into an unexpected romance with a brooding stranger who reveals
himself to be a kindred spirit. And it all becomes far more dangerous when Flora
realizes how desperately their enemies want Tiny Doom — and Flora herself — dead.
Ysabeau S. Wilce is the author of the critically acclaimed Flora's Dare and Flora Segunda, which
Diane Wynne Jones called "highly original, strange, and amusing." Flora's Dare won the Andre

The Wild Queen

The Days and Nights of Mary, Queen of Scots
Carolyn Meyer
"Through a fresh, modern voice, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, is presented as a
fascinating, headstrong, multidimensional woman. . . . Accessible and intriguing."—
School Library Journal

Mary Stuart was just five years old when she was sent to France to be raised alongside
her future husband. But when the frail young king dies, eighteen-year-old Mary is
stripped of her title as Queen of France and set adrift in the harsh world, alone.
Determined to reign over what is rightfully hers, Mary returns to Scotland.
Hoping that a husband will help her secure the coveted English throne, she marries
again, but the love and security she longs for elude her. Instead, the fiery young queen
finds herself embroiled in a murder scandal that could cost her the crown. And her
attempts to bargain with her formidable "sister queen," Elizabeth I of England, could
cost her her very life.
Carolyn Meyer is the award-winning author of more than fifty books for young people, including

How to Lose Everything

A True and Cautionary Tale
Philip Mattheis
Phillip, Steve, Alex, and Leo usually spend their summers hanging out at the park,
skateboarding, and dreaming—about the day when they’ll finally be able to move out of
the suburbs and start doing what they want to do instead of what they’re told. At the
beginning of the summer those dreams seemed as distant as ever, but everything
changed when the four teenagers stumbled into an abandoned house and found a pile
of cash. Suddenly, the dizzying thrill of money and power makes the future seem
strangely irrelevant. Now, almost twenty years later, Philip returns to that life-changing
summer to tally up the costs of their discovery.
Philip Mattheis has been an editor for one of Germany’s most popular youth magazines since
2008, and occasionally writes for NEON as well. He lives in Munich.

species, this is the most comprehensive coloring book on the seashore available—when
it’s finished it becomes a field guide kids have created themselves, making it truly
meaningful and educational.

Shells
Jackie Leatherbury Douglass and John Douglass
Shells, the cast-off homes of small, soft-bodied animals, come in many shapes and sizes.
Finding a shell and knowing what kind it is is like unwrapping a present. Each drawing
in this coloring book has a colored sticker to match so that kids can place the sticker
next to the drawing. While kids color, they can refer to the sticker to color each shell
realistically. Covering nearly 220 species, this is the most comprehensive shell coloring
book available—when it’s finished it becomes a field guide kids have created
themselves, making it truly meaningful and educational.
JOHN AUBREY DOUGLASS is the author of the Peterson Field Guide to Atlantic Coast Fishes and
the Peterson First Guide to Shells.
JACKIE LEATHERBY DOUGLASS is the author of the Peterson First Guide to Shells.

Wildflowers
Roger Tory Peterson and Frances Tenenbaum
Identifying wildflowers is something that can be done anywhere—the woodlands may
have lady's-slippers, but a crack in city pavement may be home to a scarlet pimpernel.
This book offers a shortcut to recognizing these flowers and more. Each drawing in this
coloring book has a colored sticker to match so that kids can place the sticker next to
the drawing. While kids color, they can refer to the sticker to color each wildflower
realistically. Covering 146 species, this is the most comprehensive wildflower coloring
book available—when it’s finished it becomes a field guide kids have created
themselves, making it truly meaningful and educational.
FRANCES TENENBAUM is the editor and author of several gardening books.
VIRGINIA SAVAGE is a contributor for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt titles including the Peterson
Field Guide to Southwestern and Texas Wildflowers.
