A hilarious story about an underachiever who learns to go above and
beyond. Cameron Boxer, king of the slackers, has found something
worth his time. By playing video games online in front of an
audience he can find both fame AND fortune -- especially with Elvis
(a beaver who seems to love video games as much as Cam) at his
side. The only problem? Things keep getting in Cam's way. Like
school. And the club he accidentally started. And the misguided
people in his life who don't think beavers should be playing video
games. It's going to take some trickery, some close calls, and a
fierce devotion to slacking in order for Cam to get to his goal --
conquering the game's infamous Level 13. But if any slacker can do
it, Cam can.
New dog, no tricks! Becket Branch has one birthday wish--a dog!
Dogs are outgoing and friendly, and they live life loud, just like
Becket. Becket's twin, Nicholas, wants a pet more like him--a
peaceful, quiet indoor cat. When their parents take them to the
shelter to choose a dog and a cat, it should be Becket's biggest
BEAUTIFUL ALERT ever. But Becket's dream dog, Dibs, turns out to be
a super-shy scaredy-pooch. Meanwhile, Nicholas's kitty, Given,
loves being the center of attention and greeting visitors to
Blackberry Farm. Can Becket and Nicholas learn how to love Dibs and
Given as they are--even if they aren't exactly the pets the twins
dreamed of? With black-and-white drawings throughout by
award-winning illustrator LeUyen Pham (Real Friends), this second
volume of the Blackberry Farm series offers a gentle message about
embracing new friends who may not match preconceived expectations.

A fairy tale of big waves and even bigger courage, inspired by the
personal story of professional surfer Maya Gabeira, who smashed
records and gender stereotypesYoung Maya is shy and often feels
fragile and scared because of her asthma, except when she's in the
water-it's the one place where she feels strong. While everyone
else in her town is scared of "the Beast," the giant wave heard all
around the world as it crashes into the shoreline, Maya finds the
noise comforting, the curves of the wave soothing. If she could
only tame it, then everyone could see all the beauty it has to
offer. With a pink surfboard and a determined heart, Maya will be
the first girl to meet the Beast head-on. Professional surfer Maya
Gabeira, known for surfing Guinness World Record-breaking big
waves, shares her story of resilience, defying expectations of
women in sports, and daring to achieve the impossible. Beautifully
illustrated by Ramona Kaulitzki, Maya and the Beast is an
empowering reminder that every fear can be conquered and every
Beast can be tamed.
A wordless picture-book journey through the Boundary Waters,
canoeing and camping with a family as they encounter the northwoods
wilderness in all its spectacular beauty It's a place of wordless
wonder: the wilderness of the Boundary Waters on the
Minnesota–Canada border. Travel its vast distances, canoe its
streams and glacial lakes, take shelter from rain under a rocky
outcropping (or in your tent), camp in its vaulting forests as
stars embroider the darkening sky. Is this your first
visit? Or is it already your favorite destination?Â
Come along—join a family of three as their journey unfolds,
picture by picture, marking the changing light as the day passes,
the stillness before the gathering storm, the shining waters
everywhere, rushing here, quietly pooling there, beckoning us ever
onward into nature’s infinite wildness one summer up north.
From Andy Marino, author of The Plot to Kill Hitler series, comes
another fast-paced historical thriller chronicling one family's
desperate bid to escape the deadly Chernobyl disaster. 26 April
1986 01:18 Alina & Lev are two siblings living in Pripyat, one
of the Soviet Union's proud nuclear cities. Both are asleep in
their beds. Their cousin, Yuri, is a custodian at the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Plant, where he's fiercely attacking a spill in the
hallway with a mop. Alina's best friend, Sofiya, sleeps just a few
doors down. Her father is an engineer at the plant, a fact that has
always filled her with pride. In five minutes, Reactor No. 4 will
explode in a ball of fire. It will expel radiation across their
town for nine days before it's finally contained. For the people of
Pripyat, it will be far too late. Two young siblings flee the
Chernobyl disaster with their parents, but the Communist party is
on their heels. Meanwhile, the friends and family they were forced
to leave behind must contend with a disinformation campaign that's
determined to pretend nothing is wrong-even as deadly radiation
spills into the air.
