On the far side of town, in a big, dark, house, lives a brave
little witch. She has heard lots and lots about those scary humans
and a holiday they call Halloween, but she has never even seen
Halloween for herself. Until one very special Halloween comes
along...
Perfect for trick-or-treaters of all ages, "A Very Brave Witch"
makes for a playful read-aloud that takes the scariness out of the
holiday.
When Clara Winter left her rural Adirondack town for college, she
never looked back. Her mother, Tamar, a fiercely independent but
loving woman who raised Clara on her own, all but pushed her out
the door, forcing Clara to build a new life for herself, far from
her roots, far from her high school boyfriend, far from the life
she had always known. Now more than a decade has passed, and Clara,
a successful writer, has been summoned home. Tamar has become
increasingly forgetful and can no longer live on her own. But just
as her mother's memory is beginning to slip away, Clara's questions
are building. Why was Tamar so insistent that Clara leave home all
those years ago? Just what secrets was she hiding? In this "quietly
powerful" (Booklist) and "luminous novel" (Kirkus Reviews), Alison
McGhee tells the story of a young woman finding her way in life,
determined to know her mother -- and by extension herself -- before
it's too late.
Collect the complete -- and completely marvelous -- Bink &
Gollie series in a boxed set bonanza.
Whether exploring the wonders of the state fair, attempting to set
a world record, or just relaxing with some pancakes and peanut
butter, Bink and Gollie are irresistibly witty, imaginative, and
adventurous -- just the sort of friends young readers love. Now, in

The state fair is in town, and now Bink and Gollie - utter
opposites and best friends extraordinaire - must use teamwork and
their gray matter while navigating its many wonders. Will the
energetic Bink win the world's largest donut in the Whack-a-Duck
game? Will the artistic Gollie wow the crowd in the talent show? As
the undaunted duo steps into the mysterious tent of fortune-teller
Madame Prunely, one prediction is crystal clear: this unlikely pair
will always be the closest of pals. Get ready for more laughs in
this wry, warmhearted sequel to the New York Times Book Review Best

part of the deal? Bink wonders what it would be like to be as tall
as her friend, but how far will she stretch her luck to find out?
And when Bink and Gollie long to get their picture into a book of

Winner of the 2011 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award
In a brilliant collaboration, best-selling authors Kate DiCamillo
and Alison McGhee, along with acclaimed illustrator Tony Fucile,
introduce an outrageously funny pair of friends.
Meet Bink and Gollie, two precocious little girls -- one tiny, one
tall, and both utterly irrepressible. Setting out from their
super-deluxe tree house and powered by plenty of peanut butter (for
Bink) and pancakes (for Gollie), they share three comical
adventures involving painfully bright socks, an impromptu trek to
the Andes, and a most unlikely marvelous companion. No matter where
their roller skates take them, at the end of the day they will
always be the very best of friends. Full of quick-witted repartee,
this brainchild of Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and
award-winning author Alison McGhee is a hilarious ode to exuberance
and camaraderie, imagination and adventure, brought to life through
the delightfully kinetic images of Tony Fucile.

Clara first spies him through the crack in the stained-glass window
of her church, lighting a string of handmade lanterns in the
Adirondack woods. A lone old man, Georg Kominsky moves stealthily
among the shadow world of his hanging, glittering creations.
In Alison McGhee's stunning novel Shadow Baby, eleven-year-old
Clara is struggling to find the truth about her missing father and
grandfather and her twin sister, dead at birth, but her mother
steadfastly refuses to talk about these people who are lost to her
daughter. When Clara begins interviewing Georg Kominsky for a
school biography assignment, she finds that he is equally reticent
about his own concealed history. Precocious and imaginative, the
girl invents version upon version of Mr. Kominsky's past, just as
she invents lives for the people missing from her own shadowy past.
The journey of discovery that these two oddly matched people embark
upon is at the heart of this beautiful story about friendship and
communion, about discovering what matters most in life, and about
the search to find the missing pieces of ourselves. McGhee's prose
glistens with shrewd truth and wild imaginings, creating a fine
novel that will reverberate in the hearts and minds of readers long
after the book is finished.
