"Fig Arnold is an original and irresistible heroine in a story full
of hope, art, and love." --R. J. Palacio, author of Wonder "A
thoughtful portrayal of mental illness with queer content that
avoids coming-out cliches." --Kirkus Reviews For Fig's dad,
hurricane season brings the music. For Fig, hurricane season brings
the possibility of disaster. Fig, a sixth grader, loves her dad and
the home they share in a beachside town. She does not love the long
months of hurricane season. Her father, a once-renowned piano
player, sometimes goes looking for the music in the middle of a
storm. Hurricane months bring unpredictable good and bad days. More
than anything, Fig wants to see the world through her father's
eyes, so she takes an art class to experience life as an artist
does. Then Fig's dad shows up at school, confused and looking for
her. Not only does the class not bring Fig closer to understanding
him, it brings social services to their door. As the walls start to
fall around her, Fig is sure it's up to her alone to solve her
father's problems and protect her family's privacy. But with the
help of her best friend, a cute girl at the library, and a
surprisingly kind new neighbor, Fig learns she isn't as alone as
she once thought . . . and begins to compose her own definition of
family. Nicole Melleby's Hurricane Season is a radiant and tender
novel about taking risks and facing danger, about friendship and
art, and about growing up and coming out. And more than anything
else, it is a story about love--both its limits and its incredible
healing power.

In the tradition of Clementine and Ramona Quimby, meet Bat. Author Elana K. Arnold returns with another irresistible story of friendship in this widely acclaimed series starring an unforgettable boy on the autism spectrum.
For Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed Bat), life is pretty great. He’s the caretaker of the best baby skunk in the world—even Janie, his older sister, is warming up to Thor.
When Janie gets a part in the school play and can’t watch Bat after school, it means some pretty big changes. Someone else has to take care of the skunk kit in the afternoons, Janie is having sleepovers with her new friends, and Bat wants everything to go back to normal.
He just has to make it to the night of Janie’s performance. . . .
