The Tinkerers
by Caroline Carlson
When Peter leads two Tinkerers to his family's inn in Stargazers Valley, he imagines they're like other astromancers, researchers from the Imperial College who study starstuff. The valley is a special place, where the magical aurora called the Skeins appear in the sky and starstuff falls in their wake, as thin and wispy as fluff from a seed pod. But starstuff is powerful, and astromancers are the only people allowed to handle it--a law enforced by the strict and stealthy Outbounder Task Force. When Peter discovers the Tinkerers have used starstuff to invent an incredible not-a-clock that can turn back time for a few minutes, he realizes it's his chance to undo his mistakes. But while using the not-a-clock is easy, stopping using it is hard. And maybe not everything that feels like a mistake at the time actually is.

Lost Evangeline
by Kate DiCamillo
When a shoemaker discovers a tiny girl (as small as a mouse!) in his shop, he takes her in, names her Evangeline, and raises her as his own. The shoemaker's wife, however, fears that Evangeline has bewitched her husband, so when an opportunity arises to rid herself of the girl, she takes it. Evangeline finds herself far from her adopted father and her home, a tiny girl lost in the wide world. But she is brave, and she is resourceful, and with the help of those she meets on her journey--including a disdainful and self-satisfied cat--she may just find her way again.

This Is Orange: A Field Trip Through Color
by Rachel Poliquin

Ranging through time and circumnavigating the globe, stream-of-consciousness text and jaunty illustrations explore color through surprising social, historical, cultural, and artistic lenses.
