What if Ariel had never defeated Ursula?
It's been five years since the infamous sea witch defeated the little mermaid... and took King Triton's life in the process. Ariel is now the voiceless queen of Atlantica, while Ursula runs Prince Eric's kingdom on land. But when Ariel discovers that her father might still be alive, she finds herself returning to a world--and a prince--she never imagined she would see again.
Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is a resident of the Hotel Valhalla and one of Odin's chosen warriors. As the son of Frey, the god of summer, fertility, and health, Magnus isn't naturally inclined to fighting. But he has strong and steadfast friends, including Hearthstone the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, and Samirah the Valkyrie, and together they have achieved brave deeds, such as defeating Fenris Wolf and battling giants for Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Now Magnus and his crew must sail to the farthest borders of Jotunheim and Niflheim in pursuit of Asgard's greatest threat. Will they succeed in their perilous journey, or is Ragnarok lurking on the horizon?
Charlie Tickler has been unceremoniously dumped with his sedentary, tv-obsessed grandparents in the village of Castle-on-the-Hudson, while his parents are off to Africa to save gorillas. Castle-on-the-Hudson may not have cell phone or Internet service, but it does have murder, intrigue, and a school for the deaf. Lonely and bored, Charlie decides to visit the library, where he meets an elderly deaf woman who looks frightened and tries to tell him something. But Charlie doesn't understand, and when it looks like the woman has disappeared, he searches for an answer. The answer comes by way of Frog-a local girl who is deaf. She reveals the woman's desperate message: dead. Charlie has no idea what this could mean, but Frog sees this as a chance to solve a real life mystery, just like her favorite fictional detective character, Dorrie McCann.
Now, Charlie must learn sign language to fully communicate with Frog, who despite being deaf interacts easily with everyone she meets. Charlie is a fast learner, and not only finds new ways to communicate his feelings, but also forges a lasting friendship.

Blizzard is based on John Rocco's childhood experience during the
now infamous Blizzard of 1978, which brought fifty-three inches of
snow to his town in Rhode Island. Told with a brief text and
dynamic illustrations, the bookopens with a boy's excitement upon
seeing the first snowflake fall outside his classroom window. It
ends with the neighborhood's immense relief upon seeing the first
snowplow break through on their street. In between the boy watches
his familiar landscape transform into something alien, and readers
watch him transform into a hero who puts the needs of others first.
John uses an increasing amount of white space in his playful
images, which include a gatefold spread of the boy's expedition to
the store. This book about the wonder of a winter storm is as
delicious as a mug of hot cocoa by the fire on a snowy day.
Praise for Super Hair-o and the Barber of Doom
With a light, humorous touch, Rocco reveals that sometimes the
Kryptonite is all in your head.
--Publishers Weekly
Bold, colorful pen-and-ink illustrations burst with power from each
spread in comic-book style. This story will make a feel-good
impression on budding comic book/superhero fans.
--School Library Journal
Praise for Blackout
The plot line, conveyed with just a few sentences, is simple
enough, but the dramatic illustrations illuminate the story...Not
all young readers will have experienced a blackout, but this
engaging snapshot could easily have them wishing for one.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The colorful pictures work beautifully with the book's design.
Rocco uses comic-strip panels and a brief text to convey the
atmosphere of a lively and almost magical urban landscape. Great
bedtime reading for a soft summer night.

"Happy Birthday!" Today is somebody's birthday, but Mickey can't
figure out whose it is. Could it be Daisy's? Perhaps he should get
her a new hair bow. Maybe it's Pluto's, and Mickey can get him a
bone. Young readers will have great fun following Mickey on a
birthday-themed treasure hunt, peeking below the book's
lift-the-flaps to uncover clues. "Happy Birthday!" introduces math
concepts such as size-order, patterns, and counting, while inviting
children to put their imagination and reasoning skills to the test
as they follow Mickey on his quest to find the perfect present for
the mysterious birthday party.
