Oliver's Great Big Universe #2: Volcanoes Are Hot! by Jorge ChamLíaAfter writing his first book, eleven-year-old Oliver is kind of a celebrity around school--no big deal. But when he gets caught in a cafeteria catastrophe, he quickly goes from being the funny science kid to one of the Epic Barf Kids, the result of too much explosive cherry pie in the lunchroom. Oliver is desperate to restore his reputation--and winning the science fair sounds like the perfect way for everyone to forget about the whole barf thing. There's just one obstacle standing in his way: Ana Lía Quintero, who wins the science fair every year. Luckily, Oliver has the help of his geoscientist aunt, even though she's a little, um, quirky (scratch that: really quirky). If Oliver has any chance of defeating his archnemesis, he'll have to learn all about volcanic burping and bacteria farts, how Earth's layers are basically like boba tea, and how school cliques and the solar system have a lot in common. Coming Soon: Oliver's Great Big Universe: Oceans Are Deep (#4)

Talia's Codebook for Middle School
by Marissa Moss
With help from her trusty notebook, Talia thinks she has cracked the codes of middle school--what to wear, what to say, what not to say. But knowledge and mastery don't always equate, and codes are like homework: just when you think you're caught up, a new batch arrives. Luckily math brims with codes, and Talia, with her knack for observations and deductions, understands math. As part of a newly merged coed math team, Talia must navigate not only her own struggles with competition, leadership, and stage fright, but also the girl-boy codes and her jealousy of the team's perfect new captain. Being on the same team, it turns out, doesn't always mean you're friends, but it does give you the space to try. Second in a charming spin-off series from the creator of the phenomenally popular Amelia's Notebooks, this doodle-dense, STEM-centric diary will delight and engross readers navigating unfamiliar social terrain.
