Book DescriptionThe Dish girls are psyched about the seventh-grade class trip! It’ll be worth taking a weekend off from Dish to go on a super-cool ski trip with all their friends. But when their nemesis, Angie, plays a prank that goes too far, the girls must confront her—once and for all.

THE CHILDREN FROM THE SEA OF TROLLS BRAVE THEIR WORST NIGHTMARES -- UNDERGROUND.

Jack is amazed to have caused an earthquake. He is thirteen, after all, and only a bard-in-training. But his sister, Lucy, has been stolen by the Lady of the Lake; stolen a second time in her young life, as he learns to his terror. Caught between belief in the old gods and Christianity (790 AD, Britain), Jack calls upon his ash

wood staff to subdue a passel of unruly monks, and, for his daring, ends up in a knucker hole. It is unforgettable

-- for the boy and for reader. Rarely does a sequel enlarge so brilliantly the world of the first story. Look

for the conclusion in The Islands of the Blessed in 2009http://www.amazon.com/Land-Silver-Apples-Nancy-Farmer/dp/1416907351/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-3596576-3358342?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194972713&sr=1-1

Editorial Review: From School Library Journal,A strong African-American family, a happy ending, and a smattering of '70s trivia define this first novel. Charmaine, 14, is jealous of her orphaned cousin, Tracy John, whom her parents adopted three years earlier. Resentment piles on when her mother goes back to work and Maine is stuck providing after-school care for the obstreperous six-year-old. As events progress, she begins to understand how he feels, and even comes to his defense in school when he is targeted for special ed. She also develops the self-confidence to stand up to a gorgeous loser with whom she is infatuated but who has been using her to do his homework..-Faith Brautigam, Gail Borden Public Library, Elgin, IL Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Jan Francis narrates this heartbreaking story of two tiger cubs captured in their

native jungle and taken to ancient Rome. Francis impresses at the outset

with her sensitive portrayal of the cubs' sadness and confusion, a strength she

maintains throughout the production as the cubs go their separate paths--one

becoming a pet and the other a performer in the Colosseum.

Who said: “Father, I cannot tell a lie”?

Editorial Review From Publishers WeeklyIn this honest and moving novel, Martin (the Baby-Sitters Club series; P.S. Longer Letter Later) takes readers back to the era of the civil rights movement in the rural South to share the experiences of a poor white girl when her school becomes integrated. The author evokes the aura of hatred and fear permeating the small community of Coker Creek as skillfully as Belle Teal's empathy for her African-American classmate, Darryl. Martin sensitively captures the narrator's reactions to the events around her, such as when Belle Teal sees racist picketers outside of her school: "I feel my face grow warm, like I'm embarrassed, even though I haven't done anything." Besides feeling anger towards her insensitive classmates and their bigoted parents, the fifth-grade narrator resents a new rich girl named Vanessa (whom she dubs "HRH" for Her Royal Highness), who makes fun of the way she dresses. Yet the heroine learns some important lessons about not judging people by their appearances; she later learns a tragic secret that sheds some light on Vanessa.

Which is colder- the North Pole or the

Editorial Review From Publishers Weekly

Kinney's popular Web comic, which began in 2004, makes its way to print as a laugh-out-loud "novel in cartoons," adapted from the series. Middle school student Greg Heffley takes readers through an academic year's worth of drama. Greg's mother forces him to keep a diary ("I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to buy this thing I specifically told her to get one that didn't say 'diary' on it"), and in it he loosely recounts each day's events, interspersed with his comic illustrations.

Book DescriptionOnce caught, it’s harder still to let a pirate go. When Annalisa Townsend’s ship is set upon by pirates in search of her father’s treasure, one of the crew, James Sterling, discovers her in the hold.  When he moves to take her necklace, she begs him not to, as it is all she has left of her mother.  He accepts a kiss in exchange for the necklace.  “A fair trade, m’lady,” he tells her afterward, before disappearing. A year later, with a forged letter of marque, Annalisa is intent on hunting down the wretched James Sterling and reclaiming her father’s treasure from him.  But now she’s in danger of him stealing something far more vulnerable this time: her heart.

Introduced as Lily's friend in the Newbery Honor Book Lily's Crossing (1997), Margaret "Meggie" Dillon now experiences World War II on her

own. "For the duration" is how the adults talk about the war's deprivations, whether they are referring to eating Spam or to the Dillons'

makeshift housing in Michigan, where Meggie's father has moved the family in order to take a job building planes. Meggie desperately misses

her home in Rockaway, and German-born Grandpa, who was left behind. Still, sometimes she's glad he stayed home: it was Meggie who wiped the swastika from his window and heard the culprits say that

anywhere else he would be jailed.. Many story lines are threaded neatly together here, but what has happened to Meggie's brother, Eddie, who is fighting overseas, remains unknotted at the end. Tough and tender, this

is an excellent addition to World War II shelves. Ilene Cooper Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
