Fasten your seat belts for some unexpected turbulence ahead, as
Jaundice and Kale Bland are back for their final unintentional
adventure! Now that they've returned from the Uncanny Valley to
find their home in Dullsville in absolute shambles, the sisters are
rescued by high-flying aviatrix Beatrix Airdale. This time, they're
jetting off (literally) to Egypt to uncover the mysteries of a
magical scarab. By way of Casablanca and after foiling multiple
attacks along the way (thanks to Jaundice's nautical knot-tying
skills and Kale's super-sleuth powers of observation), the Bland
Sisters are reunited with their parents. But it turns out that Mom
and Dad aren't as bland-or as "Bland"-as Jaundice and Kale
remember. Thanks to their mother's old archeology notebook, the
Bland Sisters uncover their parents' real identities and help them
achieve victory in one final, family-filled adventure.
A tail of the fursome undead! While helping her best friend Danny
film his latest horror flick, Mellie discovers a scraggly cat
behind a dumpster outside the YummCo Foods factory. Mellie names
the stray Bert and hides him in her room, knowing her parents won't
let her keep him. But soon Bert has decapitated all her stuffed
animals, and before long he is leaving the headless corpses of
birds and mice as gifts for her. Danny is convinced the cat is a
zombie, living on the brains of its victims. But is that what's
really going on? Award-winning author Kara LaReau lets loose a
fresh and sharply funny new mystery, with an irresistible touch of
the macabre. Fans of creepy stories and animal lovers alike will
devour this fast-moving adventure in one heady gulp.
"Ebullient readers struggling with being mindful of others and true
to their always-on selves should find reassurance in this
friendship story." -Publishers Weekly Perfect for fans of Julian Is
a Mermaid, this picture book is about a child named Ezra who does
everything a little bit extra. But that doesn't work out so well
when a new girl comes to school and his efforts to make friends go
over-the-top awry! Ezra always lets his light shine bright-extra
bright. And he always makes an extra effort when it comes to the
people he loves. So when Ezra meets Jane, the new girl at school,
he's ready to do whatever it takes-and more-to be her friend. He
offers her a sparkly cupcake and colorful balloons, and he even
writes a flashy song. But Jane doesn't seem to notice. Ezra is
confused-everyone usually loves his gifts! After his failed
attempts, Ezra realizes he must ask himself what it truly means to
be a good friend. This book will teach readers the importance of
respecting boundaries and open communication in friendships, and it
will inspire everyone to celebrate their differences! "A satisfying
picture book." -Booklist "Viewers who struggle to empathize well
with their classmates or siblings will receive a specifically
catered takeaway from this book." -Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books

An award-winning author and a Caldecott Medalist introduce an
adorable new circus star - who won't stop crying! When Frieda and
Boffo Clown have a baby, everyone in the circus is over the moon.
But there is just one problem: Baby Clown won't stop crying! Frieda
and Boffo try everything: putting on their silliest faces, driving
him around in their tiny car. They even try taking off his red nose
and big shoes. But that just makes Baby Clown cry more. Can Frieda
and Boffo turn his little clown frown upside down in time for the
sold-out show? Kara LaReau juggles wit and warmth in this hilarious
nod to being a new parent, while Matthew Cordell's big-top-bright
illustrations bring Baby Clown and his circus family to funny,
frazzled life. Older siblings, in particular, will step right up to
this applause-worthy picture book, joining Baby Clown in many a
heartfelt "WAAAAH!"
In the spirit of A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Unintentional
Adventures of the Bland Sisters stars Jaundice and Kale Bland-two
sisters who avoid excitement at any cost. Instead, they eat
tasteless oatmeal, rarely venture into bright sunlight, and read
only Dr. Snoote's Dictionary, because storybooks are just too
thrilling. Together, they await the return of their parents, who
left for an errand years ago and have never come back. One day, a
knock on the door leads to the Bland sisters' kidnapping by an
all-female band of pirates-but this is only the beginning of their
escapades. Filled with Roald Dahl-esque humor, hilarious high
jinks, and swashbuckling, The Unintentional Adventures of the Bland
Sisters: The Jolly Regina will appeal to middle-grade readers
looking for an anything-but-bland adventure.
