'Jerry Spinelli has created another middle grade masterpiece.' -BookPage, starred review
On Dead Wednesday, every eighth grader in Amber Springs is assigned the name and identity of a teenager who died a preventable death in the past year. The kids don black shirts and for the whole day everyone in town pretends they're invisible-as if they weren't even there. The adults think it will make them contemplate their mortality. The kids know it's a free pass to get away with anything.
Worm Tarnauer feels invisible every day. He's perfectly happy being the unnoticed sidekick of his friend Eddie. So he's not expecting Dead Wednesday to feel that different. But he didn't count on being assigned Becca Finch (17, car crash). And he certainly didn't count on Becca showing up to boss him around! Letting this girl into his head is about to change everything.
This is the story of the unexpected, heartbreaking, hilarious, truly epic day when Worm Tarnauer discovers his own life.
He’s bounding off for a day of amazing discoveries. What weird and wonderful animals will he see?
Arthur the daring dog can’t wait for another cool adventure. With floppy ears all perked up, he’s on his way to explore the zoo. And he’ll have to plan his time well if he’s going to visit every single massive mammal and bashful bird!
As he runs through the wildlife park, Arthur wants to look at everything and be everywhere. And more than anything, he hopes making friends with the enormous elephants and playful penguins will be easy-peasy.
Will Arthur make it through the day without leaving any crazy creature out?
This doggone-exciting tale will entertain you with eye-catching illustrations, ear-pleasing poems, and fact-finding fun to make you smile. Through Arthur’s eyes and easy-to-comprehend information, a trip to the exhibits of monkeys, hippos, and bears will entrance wide-eyed readers young and old.
Arthur Visits the Zoo is the seventh book in the clever Kids Books For Young Explorers series for ages three to nine. If you and your child like cheerful children’s stories, pleasant pictures, and lively learning, then you’ll love Gene Lipen’s romp through nature.

From INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING authors Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) and Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda) comes a long-awaited collaboration about two very different boys who can't decide if the universe is pushing them together or pulling them apart.
Soon to be a feature film, adapted by the creator of 13 Reasons Why!
Meet Arthur and Ben.
ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it's that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it.
BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn't be carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend's things.
But when the boys have a chance meeting at the post office, they leave wondering what exactly the universe does have in store for them.
What if - in a city of eight million people - they can't find each other again?
What if they do ... and then can't nail a first date even after three do-overs?
What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn't try hard enough?
What if life really isn't like a Broadway play?
But what if it is? What if it's us?
