Animals abound in this freshly repackaged and adventure-filled
story from bestselling author Sharon Draper
After witnessing a tragic accident in which a doe is killed, the
boys in the Clubhouse Mysteries gang are able to rescue her
orphaned fawn. But they realize that nearby construction means the
destruction of the local animals' homes, so Ziggy, Rashawn, Jerome,
and Rico decide to take up the cause and host a backyard animal
show to raise money for the local wildlife rescue center. Dino, the
adorable rescued fawn, will be the star attraction. And given that
the boys have already tackled caring for a deer, managing their
friends' dogs, cats, and hamsters should be easy....right?
Milton is swept up in a quest for friends and excitement in Jess
Redman’s thrilling middle grade novel, The Adventure is Now.
Sometimes it's hard to be Milton P. Greene. He says all the wrong
things, his family is falling apart, and everyone at school avoids
him because of the very embarrassing Bird Brain Incident. But when
Milton plays his video game Isle of Wild, he becomes someone else
– Sea Hawk, the brave and brilliant naturalist explorer who
conquers danger at every turn. Then Milton’s parents ship him off
to the remote Lone Island for the summer. The island is chock-full
of spectaculous species, and Milton realizes this is his chance to
become the brave and brilliant naturalist he’s always wanted to
be – and even meet some fellow explorers! But as it turns out,
the future of the Lone Island is in some pretty serious peril, and
the only thing that can save it is a field guide full of cryptic
clues. So Milton and his unexpected new friends embark on a wild
and wondrous adventure all of their own.
 Written by music icon Geri Halliwell-Horner, this
fast-paced adventure on a hidden island is filled with family
secrets, shocking betrayals and girl power! It's time to find your
power. Suddenly orphaned and alone, Rosie Frost is sent to the
mysterious Bloodstone Island - home not only to a school for
extraordinary teens, but also a sanctuary for endangered species.
There, Rosie confronts a menacing deputy headmaster, a group of
mean girls bent on destroying her, and shocking family secrets. She
also discovers that history can come to life in ways she never
could have imagined. When the island itself comes under threat,
Rosie knows she must enter and win the Falcon Queen Games in a
desperate bid to save it. But Rosie can't do it alone. She finds
that believing in herself - and her friends - is the first step to
finding the power she never knew she had. Written by Spice Girl,
songwriter and author Geri Halliwell-Horner With a thrilling mix of
history, mystery, nature, music and adventure, this book is a
brilliant read for everyone Determined and big-hearted, Rosie Frost
is a new kind of hero for today's young readers
