When a notorious thief is out for priceless treasure (gems! cats!
general decorum!)—who're you gonna call? An elite team of
crime-fighting underdogs, that's who! The Misfits are on the case
in this hilarious illustrated series from Newbery Honoree Lisa Yee

Olive Cobin Zang has . . . issues. And they mostly aren’t her
fault. (No, really!) Though she often slips under the radar,
problems have a knack for finding her. So, imagine her doubts when
she’s suddenly dropped off at the strangest boarding school ever:
a former castle turned prison that's now a “reforming arts
schoolâ€! But nothing could’ve prepared Olive for RASCH (not
“rashâ€). There, she’s lumped with a team of other kids who
never quite fit in, and discovers that the academy isn’t what it
seems—and neither is she. In fact, RASCH is a cover for an elite
group of misfits who fight crime . . . and Olive has arrived just
in time. Turns out that RASCH is in danger of closing, unless
Olive’s class can stop the heist of the century. And as Olive
falls in love with this wacky school, she realizes it’s up to her
new team to save the only home that’s ever welcomed them.

A middle grade graphic memoir based on bestselling author and
Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's awkward middle school years and the
trip to Europe that changed his life. Dan's always been a good kid.
The kind of kid who listens to his teachers, helps his mom with
grocery shopping, and stays out of trouble. But being a good kid
doesn't stop him from being bullied and feeling like he's
invisible, which is why Dan has low expectations when his parents
send him on a class trip to Europe. At first, he's right. He's
stuck with the same girls from his middle school who love to make
fun of him, and he doesn't know why his teacher insisted he come on
this trip. But as he travels through France, Germany, Switzerland,
and England, a series of first experiences begin to change
him--first Fanta, first fondue, first time stealing a bike from
German punk rockers... and first love. Funny, heartwarming, and
poignant, A First Time for Everything is a feel-good coming-of-age
memoir based on New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott
Medal winner Dan Santat's awkward middle school years. It
celebrates a time that is universally challenging for many of us,
but also life-changing as well. Praise for After the Fall "The
author gives wings to both his protagonist and his message about
the importance of getting back up after a fall and the realization
that recovering from a trauma takes time." --Booklist, starred
review "Santat's precise illustrations and sensitive text combine
for more emotional depth than the typical nursery rhyme remix. A
terrific redemptive read-aloud for storytime and classroom
sharing." --School Library Journal, starred review

Will he summon the courage to face his fear?
