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.

Scare-master San Souci serves up 10 chilling tales about
untraditional haunted houses: a mansion full of pirate treasure, a
ghost trapped in a mysterious dollhouse, a boy whose vacation house
comes complete with people-eating spiders, and many more.
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.
