to return to England with his Aunt Phil. But someone has ransacked
their home, and their best suspect is the sinister man who's been
trying to steal the Book of Beasts.
Before Nate and Aunt Phil can find the culprit, they are called
to Welsh countryside. The wyverns (giant dragons) are in an uproar.
Could the same man who ransacked the Fludd house be behind the rift
with the wyverns? And just what does he want with The Book of
Beasts? But before Nate can solve that mystery, he must calm the
dragons before it's too late. It's just another day at work for the

Marvin lives with his family under the kitchen sink in the
Pompadays' apartment. He is very much a beetle. James Pompaday
lives with his family in New York City. He is very much an
eleven-year-old boy.After James gets a pen-and-ink set for his
birthday, Marvin surprises him by creating an elaborate miniature
drawing. James gets all the credit for the picture and before these
unlikely friends know it they are caught up in a staged art heist
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that could help recover a famous
drawing by Albrecht Durer. But James can't go through with the plan
without Marvin's help. And that's where things get really
complicated (and interesting!). This fast-paced mystery will have
young readers on the edge of their seats as they root for boy and
beetle. In "Shakespeare's Secret "Elise Broach showed her keen
ability to weave storytelling with history and suspense, and
"Masterpiece "is yet another example of her talent. This time
around it's an irresistible miniature world, fascinating art
history, all wrapped up in a special friendship-- something for
everyone to enjoy.

Lucian's father called them faraway things, those mysterious
objects orphaned upon the windswept shore, their stories long lost
in the shroud of ocean fog. Lucian's discovery on the beach this
particular day, though, is no ordinary faraway thing. It's a
cutlass: strong, shiny, and powerful. As its history comes to
light, Lucian faces a choice: cling to the sword he loves or accept
a gift that shines farther, wider, and deeper than he could have
ever dreamed. Stunningly illustrated with evocative art by Kelly
Murphy and written by award-winning and bestselling writer Dave
Eggers, here is a profound and resonant tale about the reward of
letting go.
Once, luck was as free to be had in Ireland as sunlight, and just
as plentifulthanks to the leprechauns. But now all that luck was
locked away, sealed with a spell by the greedy leprechaun king.
Fiona, a woman of middling importance but uncommon wit, sets out to
bring luck back to Ireland by besting the Leprechaun King in a test
of cleverness.

Nathaniel Fludd, world's youngest beastologist-in-training. All
Nate really wants is to track down his missing parents, but when a
unicorn falls mysteriously ill, Nate's Aunt Phil makes it clear
where beastologists' duties lie: with the beasts who need
them.
If ministering to the creatures of the world isn't difficult
enough, Nate and Aunt Phil must also keep them safe from a
villainous man. Will Nate ever find the parents he is so absolutely
convinced are alive?
Alex Trumble is a pretty ordinary kid--except for the fact that
his IQ borders on genius, and he loves to read books on vortexes
and time travel. But when two angry hit men kidnap his big brother
Steven, Alex's life changes fast. Inventing a time machine (using
an iPod, mirrors, duct tape, and a laser pointer) is only half the
battle. With the help of the time-bending Dingus, Alex and his best
friend Todd must travel back in time to collect clues, outwit the
bad guys, and race against the clock to save his family from total
oblivion.
