is a
twelve-year-old genius,
obsessed with nature and
diagnosing medical
conditions, who finds it
comforting to count by 7s.
It has never been easy for
her to connect with anyone
other than her adoptive
parents, but that hasn't kept
her from leading a quietly
happy life . . . until now.

Matt has always been nothing but a
clone—grown from a strip of old El
Patron’s skin. Now, at age fourteen,
he finds himself suddenly thrust into
the position of ruling over his own
country. The Land of Opium is the
largest territory of the Dope
Confederacy, which ranges on the
map like an intestine from the ruins
of San Diego to the ruins of
Matamoros. But while Opium
thrives, the rest of the world has
been devastated by ecological
disaster—and hidden in Opium is the
cure.
And that isn’t all that awaits within
the depths of Opium. Matt is
haunted by the ubiquitous army of
eejits, zombielike workers harnessed
to the old El Patron’s sinister system
of drug growing—people stripped of
the very qualities that once made
them human.

death. Lilo takes matters into her own

It begins, as the best superhero
stories do, with a tragic accident
that has unexpected
consequences. The squirrel never
saw the vacuum cleaner coming,
but self-described cynic Flora
Belle Buckman, who has read
every issue of the comic book
Terrible Things Can Happen to
You!, is the just the right person
to step in and save him.
What neither can predict is that
Ulysses (the squirrel) has been
born anew, with powers of
strength, flight, and misspelled
poetry -- and that Flora will be
changed too, as she discovers the
possibility of hope and the
promise of a capacious heart.

Zach, Poppy, and Alice have
been friends forever. And for almost as
long, they've been playing one
continuous, ever-changing game of
pirates and thieves, mermaids and
warriors. Ruling over all is the Great
Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those
who displease her.
But they are in middle school now.
Zach's father pushes him to give up
make-believe, and Zach quits the game.
Their friendship might be over, until
Poppy declares she's been having
dreams about the Queen—and the
ghost of a girl who will not rest until the
bone-china doll is buried in her empty
grave.
Zach and Alice and Poppy set off on one
last adventure to lay the Queen's ghost
to rest.

Classic Malley--to avoid being
shipped off to boarding
school, she takes off with
some guy she met online.
Poor Richard--he knows his
cousin's in trouble before she
does.
Wild Skink--he's a ragged,
one-eyed ex-governor of
Florida, and enough of a
renegade to think he can
track Malley down. With
Richard riding shotgun, the
unlikely pair scour the state,
undaunted by blinding
storms, crazed pigs, flying
bullets, and giant gators.

If Doll Bones taught us anything it’s
that horror has a real shot at a
major award when it’s paired with a
larger, all-encompassing theme.

seeking employment in England
after their parents die in a
shipwreck. Brave, quick-thinking
Molly is solicitous of her younger
disabled brother, and she feels
guilty because she has managed to
hide the truth about their parents’
death from him, spinning yarns
about their travels and promising
they will all be together soon. Molly
finds them work as servants in a
distinctly creepy, isolated country
manor where a huge tree growing
into the house is casting a spell over
the inhabitants, among other
mysterious goings-on.

Back in 1998, Blackwood captured hearts
and minds with The Shakespeare Stealer.
Philadelphia, PA, 1835. Rufus, a twelve-year-
old chess prodigy, is recruited by a
shady showman named Maelzel to
secretly operate a mechanical chess player
called The Turk. The Turk wows ticket-paying
audience members and players,
who do not realize that Rufus, the true
chess master, is hidden inside the
contraption.
But Rufus's job working the automaton
must be kept secret, and he fears he may
never be able to escape his unscrupulous
master. And what has happened to the
previous operators of the Turk, who seem
to disappear as soon as Maelzel no longer
needs them? Creeping suspense, plenty of
mystery, and cameos from Edgar Allan Poe
and P. T. Barnum mark Gary Blackwood's
triumphant return to middle grade fiction.

only one thing: her tenth birthday.
All her friends are coming to her
party, her mama is making a big
cake, and she has a good feeling
about a certain wrapped box.
Turning ten is a big deal to Armani.
It means she's older, wiser, more
responsible.

the Lower Nines of New Orleans,
Armani realizes that being ten
means being brave, watching
loved ones die, and mustering all
her strength to help her family
weather the storm. A powerful

out the truth or risk losing
everything. Verday's novel is a quick
read that hooks readers into the
mysterious and gothic atmosphere
Volume 1 of The Hollow Trilogy of Annabel's Philadelphia.

Beowulf for kids. Do I have your
attention? Because I should
probably clarify that while what
I just said is 100% accurate, this
is just as clearly a zombie novel
set in a Floridian swamp.
Charlie travels to Florida to attend
the funeral of his stepfather's
beloved football coach. Almost
immediately, he is dragged into a
horrific world of danger and death
in the surrounding swamps and
fields, rampant with supernatural,
zombie-like creatures controlled
by an evil goddess.
The action-packed plot unfolds
explosively but lacks clarity; the
characterizations, however, are
sharp, vivid, and arresting.

rings again. And again.

odd, secretive guests, each one
bearing a strange story that is
somehow connected to the
rambling old house. As objects go
missing and tempers flare, Milo
and Meddy, the cook's daughter,
must decipher clues and untangle
the web of deepening mysteries to
discover the truth about
Greenglass House—and

Weaving original fiction with myth
and folktale to tell the story of
Astri, a young Norwegian girl
desperate to join her father in
America.
After being separated from her
sister and sold to a cruel goat
farmer, Astri makes a daring escape.
She quickly retrieves her little sister,
and, armed with a troll treasure, a
book of spells and curses, and a
possibly magic hairbrush, they set

In June of 1964, three idealistic young men (one black and two white) were
lynched by the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi. They were trying to register
African Americans to vote as part of the Freedom Summer effort to bring
democracy to the South. Their disappearance and murder caused a national
uproar and was one of the most significant incidents of the Civil Rights
Movement, and contributed to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
THE FREEDOM SUMMER MURDERS will be the first book for young people to
take a comprehensive look at the brutal murders of James Chaney, Andrew
Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, through to the conviction in 2005 of
mastermind Edgar Ray Killen.

It's 1964, and Sunny's town is being invaded. Or at least that's what the adults
of Greenwood, Mississippi are saying. All Sunny knows is that people from up
north are coming to help people register to vote. They're calling it Freedom
Summer.
Meanwhile, Sunny can't help but feel like her house is being invaded, too. She
has a new stepmother, a new brother, and a new sister crowding her life,
giving her little room to breathe. And things get even trickier when Sunny and
her brother are caught sneaking into the local swimming pool -- where they
bump into a mystery boy whose life is going to become tangled up in theirs.
