"Track Attack"Jazz loves being on a track team where she sprints fast as a lightning bolt. Her dad loves that she's on the team, too. He's her biggest fan--maybe too big a fan.

"A sequel to Sachar's Sideway Stories from Wayside School, this offers thirty more episodes about the children whose classroom is on the thirtieth floor of the world's wackiest elementary school....Sachar's humor is right on target for middle-grade readers."--Booklist. "Children who relish the ridiculous will enjoy themselves tremendously."--Publishers Weekly.

"Cheesie Mack is a true original." --Gordon Korman, bestselling author of "Swindle "and "Schooled"
Ronald "Cheesie" Mack is not a genius or anything, but he remembers everything that happened before, during, and after fifth-grade graduation, and he's written it all down in his own unique and hilarious way--with lots of lists, drawings, and splenderful (that's "splendid" plus "wonderful ") made-up words.
Cheesie--with a little help from Steve Cotler--writes about family, friendship, and tough choices in an unforgettable voice that will have kids laughing out loud. Readers of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" will love both the clever humor and the black-and-white illustrations throughout.

With Henry's training, Goose is sure he can go from goof-off to goalie in no time. Just as Goose starts to improve, Henry gets grounded because his grades are slipping. Will Goose help Henry in return? Or is being a goalie more important than friendship?
