Blue Heron

Maggie Lavchek believes in magic. Magic doesn't change things. It keeps them the same. Maybe that's what she was hoping as the plane she had taken from her home in Seattle, Washington touched down on the airstrip in Westport, Connecticut. Maggie's parents were divorced, and this was her yearly summer visit with her father and his wife Joanna, who had just had a baby. The four of them were going to spend part of the summer at Sawdy Pond, a lakeside cottage in Massachusetts. But from the start Maggie has a feeling things aren't going to work out. All of Joanna's attention is focused on the baby, and something is terribly wrong with her father. When he isn't sleeping, he seems to spend all of his time on the phone. Early every morning Maggie escapes down to the marshes where she had discovered a blue heron her first day at Sawdy Pond. The beautiful gray-blue bird seems to be the only thing she can count upon. But someone is tracking the heron, and Maggie has to stop him before it is too late.

Les lettres de mon petit frère

L'été, les vacances, une maison sur la plage, ce devrait être le paradis. Mais les lettres qu'écrit chaque jour le petit frère de Christophe en cachette de ses parents disent la vérité : cet été-là, tout va de travers. À marée basse, la plage est jonchée d'algues qui répandent une odeur épouvantable. À marée haute, tous les baigneurs des environs s'installent sur le mur du jardin, qui menace de s'effondrer. S'il s'effondre, le propriétaire de la maison a promis un procès. Au lieu de s'amuser tranquillement, il faut donc, à chaque marée, défendre ce fichu mur comme on défend un château fort. Dans la maison, l'ambiance n'est pas très bonne non plus, les nerfs de maman sont en train de lâcher, et papa trouve judicieux de partir en mer par mauvais temps, alors qu'il est le pire marin du monde. Chaque jour apporte une catastrophe, ces vacances semblent maudites et le bloc de papier à lettres est presque épuisé. Heureusement, à la dixième lettre, enfin, un miracle se produit…

Space Case

Like his fellow lunarnauts--otherwise known as Moonies--living on Moon Base Alpha, twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson is famous the world over for being one of the first humans to live on the moon. What no one back on earth knows, though, is that life on the moon is nowhere near as exciting as it sounds. Kids aren't allowed on the lunar surface, meaning they're trapped inside the tiny moon base with next to nothing to occupy their time--and the only other kid Dash's age spends all his time hooked into virtual reality games. But when Dr. Ronald Holtz turns up dead--he went onto the lunar surface without his helmet properly affixed--Dash senses there's foul play afoot. The problem is, no one believes him. But when Dash finds out Dr. Holtz was on to an important new discovery, he wonders who might not want his secret to get out.

The Book with No Pictures

This innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian.You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here's how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.)
