Praise for Everything Awesome About Sharks and Other Underwater
Creatures: "In the wake of Everything Awesome About Dinosaurs and
Other Prehistoric Beasts! (2019), Lowery spins out likewise frothy
arrays of facts and observations about sharks, whales, giant squid,
and smaller but no less extreme (or at least extremely interesting)
sea life... An immersive dunk into a vast subject-and on course for
shorter attention spans." - Kirkus Reviews Praise for Everything
Awesome About Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Beasts: "Lowery
sandwiches a populous parade of very simply drawn dinos between a
history of prehistory and a roundup of diverse topics, from what
paleontologists do to sets of dinosaur jokes and A Few Kinda Weird
(and Unlikely!) Dino Extinction Theories... though true dinosaurs
hold the spotlight, flying and marine reptiles, early mammals, and
other fabulous early fauna take such frequent star turns that along
with infobites galore, readers will come away with a fairly sound
understanding of just how dinosaurs fit into the whole history of
life on this planet... A manic but solid series kickoff." - Kirkus

"Terry's Crew is a true delight from beginning to end. It's sure to
provide a much-needed mirror and sliding glass door for countless
kids." -Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give "A delightful,
powerful, readable retelling of Terry Crews's adolescence. Readers
young and old will be captivated." -Sharon M. Draper, author of Out
of My Mind "A must read for all those kids who allow themselves to
dream in a variety of big ways. Bravo!" -Pablo Cartaya, author of
The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora Young Terry Crews has a Big Dream
Plan: He wants to become a MULTIHYPHENATE. That means he wants to
be an artist. And a football player. And a musician. And maybe a
NASA scientist, too! OK, maybe it's ambitious, but his parents
worked hard so he could go to a new school-Rock City Academy, a
prestigious institution (read: rich kids go there) where he's sure
he can make his mark at the talent show. He plans an elaborate
performance with his new friends, Rani, a passionate engineer, and
Xander, a shy kid with a head like an encyclopedia. Along the way,
Terry's plan is threatened by his grades, which slip below
Mom-and-Dad-approved levels, as well as the schemes of the school's
football star, Rick, who won't stop until Terry quits the talent
show altogether. No matter what challenges he faces, though, Terry
knows that he always has his crew to back him up.
Newell's perfectly comfortable life is turned upside down when Mrs.
Hendricks announces the upcoming school dance (Fart.) and he
discovers his dad is dating his math teacher (Double Fart!),
forcing Newell to embrace change and grow. At first, Newell is
excited when Mrs. Hendricks announces a school dance! The seventh
grade dance last year was awesome, and Newell used it to invent his
signature move: The Shake and Slide. But when Newell realizes this
dance is for the entire school, not just the eighth grade, he
starts to stress about his friends coupling up and the dance
ultimately breaking up the gang. Things go from bad to worse when
Skyler jinxes Newell: he stubs his toe, breaks his arm, and even
misses Mr. Todd slip across the cafeteria on a banana peel! And if
that wasn't enough, Newell's dad has started dating again...and
specifically starts dating Newell's math teacher, Miss Tanner!
Newell is on a desperate mission to keep his life from changing too
much, will he succeed or embrace the dance of life? Don't miss the
rest of the Middle School Misadventures series: Middle School
