Biggest Fake in the Universe
by Johan Rundberg
It started off innocently enough. Mo just wanted to catch a girl's eye. She was this super-talented and mysterious skater girl who looked like she had the universe all figured out. So Mo did what any self-respecting nerd would: He put aside his chess pieces and his books on astronomy and transformed himself into a skater guy, in the hopes that she might notice him. He never expected to catch the attention of his entire town, practically all of Sweden, and the internet. But that's exactly what happens when Mo -- by a stroke of total luck -- pulls off the skateboarding trick of a lifetime: He goes viral. What's a guy to do when the whole universe is expecting him to be something he's not? Find out in this charming and hilarious story as Mo learns the meaning of being true to yourself...the hard way.

Real-life Disasters : What Would You Do?
by Anna Crowley Redding
Delve deeper into some of the most dramatic disasters in history! Using case files full of firsthand accounts, critical facts, do-at-home experiments, and clues, readers can become disaster detectives and determine for themselves what happened and why. Take on the sinking of the Titanic, the crash of the Hindenburg, the Great Influenza epidemic of 1918, the Boston molasses flood, and the fire that decimated the city of Chicago. A "Your Mission!" introduction gets readers actively involved, and an inviting layout that evokes the feel of a working case file, complete with paperclipped notes and important pictures, keeps them eager for the next clue. Author Anna Crowley Redding brings her extensive journalism background to this engrossing dive into history, and Robbie Cathro's active illustrations bring the scenes-and the real people involved-to life. Back matter includes extensive source notes and a bibliography for young journalists who want to get an even bigger scoop

Ra! Ta! Ma! Cue!
by Howie Shia
A unique picture book adventure for music lovers of all ages about how to never be quiet, never give up, and never underestimate the power of percussion. Months have passed since the Grown-Ups were taken captive, forced to brush the teeth and scratch the backs of the Growlies. One day the children make a decision: Ratamacue! It means "no more waiting." It means it's time for a rescue mission! They set off on a wild and uncertain journey, forming a drumline to overcome the many obstacles in their way. In the end, the Growlies' meanness is no match for the children's magic: their collective music. Ra! Ta! Ma! Cue! celebrates the power of kids accomplishing remarkable feats, even when up against seemingly undefeatable odds--especially when they are underestimated. With stunning illustrations and a distinctive blend of picture book and graphic musical score reminiscent of John Cage, this exciting book will inspire kids and adults alike. An instant classic of bravery, courage, and persistence that empowers kids to pick up a drum and make some noise!
