than anything, but everyone tells her she's not the princess type.
But when she and her new friends, Savannah and Reese, discover a
portal to a fairy tale realm inside the fridge in their school
library, Mihi finally gets her shot: She and her friends can learn
to be princesses! They just have to make it through a very rigorous
training program first . . . But princess training turns out to be
more than Mihi bargained for, and the fairy tale world is not the
wonderful place she imagined. Soon, Savannah and Reese decide
they're ready to go home, and Mihi has to decide where her
loyalties lie: With her friends and her future at home, or with her
princess dreams?

have to fit in to survive. But then Jennifer Chan moves in across

care about the laws of middle school, or the laws of the universe.
She believes in aliens-and she thinks she can find them. Then

Mallory goes searching. But the closer she gets, the more Mallory
has to confront why Jennifer might have run . . . and face the
truth within herself. Tae Keller lights up the sky with this

the power we all hold to influence and change one another. No one
is ever truly alone.

tiger. Tae Keller, the award-winning author of The Science of

Starred Review
Natalie's uplifting story of using the scientific process to "save" her mother from depression is what Booklist calls "a winning story full of heart and action."
Eggs are breakable. Hope is not.
When Natalie's science teacher suggests that she enter an egg drop competition, Natalie thinks that this might be the perfect solution to all of her problems. There's prize money, and if she and her friends wins, then she can fly her botanist mother to see the miraculous Cobalt Blue Orchids--flowers that survive against impossible odds. Natalie's mother has been suffering from depression, and Natalie is sure that the flowers' magic will inspire her mom to love life again. Which means it's time for Natalie's friends to step up and show her that talking about a problem is like taking a plant out of a dark cupboard and giving it light. With their help, Natalie begins an uplifting journey to discover the science of hope, love, and miracles.
A vibrant, loving debut about the coming-of-age moment when kids realize that parents are people, too. Think THE FOURTEENTH GOLDFISH meets THE THING ABOUT JELLYFISH.
When Mihi’s former best friend, Genevieve, goes through the
fridge and into the fairy world herself, Mihi and her friends know
that they're the only ones who can save her. But when the girls
arrive in the fairy tale realm, they discover a giant and an
enormous beanstalk have wrought a new kind of havoc in the fairy
world, and Genevieve isn't the only one who needs saving.
