The New York Times bestselling authors of Bob, Rebecca Stead and
Wendy Mass, introduce readers to a little free library guarded by a
cat and a boy who takes on the mystery it keeps. When a mysterious
little free library (guarded by a large orange cat) appears
overnight in the small town of Martinville, eleven-year-old Evan
plucks two weathered books from its shelves, never suspecting that
his life is about to change. Evan and his best friend Rafe quickly
discover a link between one of the old books and a long-ago event
that none of the grown-ups want to talk about. The two boys start
asking questions whose answers will transform not only their own
futures, but the town itself. Told in turn by a ghost librarian
named Al, an aging (but beautiful) cat named Mortimer, and Evan
himself, The Lost Library is a timeless story from award-winning
authors Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. It's about owning your truth,
choosing the life you want, and the power of a good book (and, of
course, the librarian who gave it to you).

see. She has no idea what life would be like outside of her home --
until a mysterious invitation forces her to leave everything
behind. Robin and Marian have lived very different lives in very
different places. Their paths should never, ever cross -- but
before they know it, they are thrown together on a quest that
requires legendary bravery, quick-witted escapes, and the ability
to . . . get along with each other.The sky's no longer the limit on
what Robin and Marian can do -- as long as they manage to do it
together.

Joss is the seventh son of the Supreme Overlord of the Universe.
His older brothers help his dad rule the cosmos, but all Joss gets
to do is deliver pies. That's right: pies. Of course, these pies
actually hold the secrets of the universe between their buttery
crusts, but they're still pies.
Joss is happy to let his older brothers shine. He has plenty to
keep his hands full: attempting to improve his bowling score;
listening to his best friend, Kal, try (and fail) to play the
drums; and exploring his ever-changing home, The Realms. But when
Earth suddenly disappears, Joss is tasked with the seemingly
impossible job of bringing it back. With the help of Annika, an
outspoken girl from Earth, he embarks on the adventure of a
lifetime...and learns that the universe is an even stranger place
than he'd imagined.

rather not know, and ultimately must find the answer to one burning
question--if only she knew what the question "was."
Written in sharp, witty verse, Wendy Mass crafts an extraordinary
tale of a spunky heroine who hasn't always made the right choices,
