Mischief and Monsters

"Jordi Acosta wants nothing more than to be invisible. He's a six-foot-tall twelve-year-old who wishes he could blend in with the rest of his classmates and avoid trouble. Over spring break, Jordi's mom, a wildlife biologist, has him volunteer at the Yaupon Creek Wildlife Refuge, much to his dismay. But Mami is keeping secrets, and when Jordi has a close encounter with a surprisingly humanlike bear, she comes clean: her unofficial job at the Wildlife Refuge is to care for Cryptids, creatures like the Chupacabra that are only supposed to exist in stories. When a greedy corporation called Harvest Sunrise Energy arrives wanting to expand their drilling operations into Yaupon Creek, cattle start getting injured and fences damaged on their neighbors' farms. Jordi and his friends realize that the company is manipulating the townspeople to believe the creatures are responsible for the damage they've wrought. It's up to them to save their town from this insidious threat―and clear their cryptid friends' names."

Little Olympians 2: Athena, Goddess of Wisdom

"Little gods, big personalities! This series follows little versions of the Greek gods who are at a camp to learn how to control their powers and use them properly--as well as learn to get along with one another. The next book in this series follows Athena as the Little Olympians prepare for their own Olympic Games! All the other gods brag about what competitions they'll win because of their powers--Artemis and Apollo will surely win any bow-and-arrow practice, Ares will win any strength competition, and Hermes will win any footrace--but in what event can Athena possibly take the gold? Sure she's wise, but she can't match their godly powers . . . or can she? As the games begin, Athena has to find unconventional ways to stay in the competition. Will she be able to use strategy and cunning to win the Olympics and show that knowledge is the ultimate power?"

Little Olympians 1: Zeus, God of Thunder

"Little gods, big personalities! Zeus's lighting is out of control, so his parents send him to camp to learn to control his powers. Alongside the other gods, he must overcome challenges and work together with the help of his friends. Read Book 1 in this fun chapter book series featuring the Olympians as they attend camp Eureka. Zeus is living with his parents, Kronos and Rhea, and he's starting to show his abilities, but his lightning is out of control! Every time he sneezes or gets mad, or is even just plain bored, his lightning shoots out. He tries to keep it under wraps most of the time, but he can't help it, and it causes such a ruckus that his parents decide that it's time he learns to properly use his powers. So they send him to Eureka, a camp where little gods learn to use and control their supernatural abilities. He's excited to be able to learn to use his powers here, but he's also nervous about going and meeting all the other gods. Apollo and Ares in particular seem very strong (and they let him know it), but he finds friends in the calm and wise Athena and the wisecracking Hermes. But after some trouble with classes, he starts to get discouraged. Will he be able to control his powers with the help of his friends?"
