April’s expressive reading of the story distracts Mae, who laughs, then cries. After April calms Mae with a hug, Mae pours the batter into the pan and tells April to put it in the oven while she cleans up. Only later do they see the bag of flour on the counter and realize Mae left the all-important ingredient out. Even so, the cake smells good, though it looks “like a bowl,” with a sunken hole in the middle. Together the friends cover the hole with some cream and berries, salvaging a very tasty treat for their successful book club meeting. With short sentences and repetitive vocabulary, this sweet early reader is augmented with digital illustrations that provide some foreshadowing clues to the narrative.

This time it's Mae's turn to bring the cake, but she hasn't finished reading the book yet. April reads to Mae, but her funny voices and moving read-aloud mean Mae misses an ingredient in her cake. In this upbeat tale of friendship in action, April and Mae work together to get ready for their book club meeting. They giggle and have fun as April dramatically reads, but when Mae realizes she's left an important ingredient out of her cake, she blames April for distracting her. The girls work together to figure out how to salvage the treat for their book club meeting and realize that when things don't go as planned, they can still end up with a delicious outcome.

With opening first-person lines, a youthful speaker describes the jubilant festivities that take place every year with extended family, portrayed with pale skin, including a “big, big dinner, everybody together,” “charades, loud and rowdy,” and three kinds of pie. In the absence of these traditions, the narrating child and a sibling, led by Mom and Mama, fill the day with cozy activities—cooking stew, hiking through the snow, playing a card game—that each prove enjoyable in their own way. When pent-up disappointment results in an understandable emotional outburst, the foursome loops in Grandma virtually for a “sweet” ending. Semirdzhyan’s scribbly-lined drawings create animated narrative scenes that capture the range of sentiments suggested by the story’s focuses on togetherness and adaptability. An apple crisp recipe concludes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eHoliday traditions can be a source of great comfort and fun. Conversely, a sudden disruption feels challenging to anyone, especially to young children. The little narrator of this story is used to having a full house for the holidays, replete with lots of food, loud games, and, of course, Grandma’s pies. Disappointingly, a surprise snowstorm prevents her grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and their pets from coming, so the rambunctious family event becomes “Just Mom, Mama, my brother, and me.” Nevertheless, the little family gamely makes the best of the changed circumstances, cooking a pot of stew instead of a feast, going for a snowy hike, playing cards, and, with grandma’s virtual help, whipping up some apple crisp instead of pie. Ultimately, they realize that something different can still feel special. Semirdzhyan’s illustrations effectively alternate vignettes and spreads, with an almost sketch-like style lovingly capturing the domestic warmth of both extended and nuclear families. A recipe for Grandma’s Apple Crisp is included in the back.\nVERDICT A charming, cozy tale that emphasizes the importance of family and flexibility in holiday celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCCBC Choices\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEvery year during the winter holidays, the young narrator’s Grandma flies in to visit, and her aunts and uncles arrive at her house by car with all the cousins. “Every year we play charades, loud and rowdy. Then we light a fire in the fireplace and eat Grandma’s three kinds of pie. That’s what happens every year. It’s tradition.” This year a huge snowstorm disrupts travel plans and it’s just her immediate family members (all are white): Mom, Mama, her brother and her. “Would it even feel like the holidays with just us?” Mom directs them in making stew in the slow cooker (no turkey from Aunt Sarah), and Mama leads them on a hike through the glittering snowy landscape. There aren’t enough people for charades after dinner, but they play cards. “It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t rowdy. But it was kind of fun anyway ...” Still, when it’s time for the fire and dessert, the narrator’s lingering disappointment brims over—no pie! A video call to grandma, in which she talks them through making apple crisp, is the perfect salve. “It was just us, but it still felt special.” This entertaining, relatable, emotionally honest story is full of delight in the details while illuminating ways disappointment can sometimes make space for unexpected pleasure, and even new traditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-443-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: August 27, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44514550251757,"sku":"44430","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/just-us-cover_6e502a64-d9c2-4f6a-9883-8209921b8da5.jpg?v=1701180873"},{"product_id":"monsters-of-fife-sea-dragons","title":"Monsters of Fife: Sea Dragons","description":"\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/jane-yolen\"\u003eJane Yolen\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/celia-lowenthal\"\u003eCelia Lowenthal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeet Cat Douglas—monster hunter.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCat Douglas is a monster hunter, and in the 1890s, the Scottish countryside is filled with monsters.

As the first girl to serve in her town’s R\u0026amp;A chapter, Cat feels as if she has a lot to prove, and as the smallest, she acts as bait, luring the monsters in for the kill. Things are going well until the R\u0026amp;A is dispatched to handle reports of a treacherous sea dragon, the likes of which hasn’t been seen for many years. The monster hunters are shocked to learn, however, that where there’s one sea dragon, there are likely more, sending Cat and her crew on a high-stakes mission to save the village. Cat’s lilting first-person narration adds a potent sense of identity to this atmospheric action-adventure series starter by Yolen (The Scarlet Circus).

Set in 1880s Scotland, Cat Douglas is a monster hunter. When a student comes racing into the school to say a monster is in the forest, Cat and her comrades spring into action. The countryside has been filled with monsters, which is why her school exists. The question is, is there really a sea monster there that has escaped? Cat is going to be the bait, and she’s ready! This first installment of the series is a great, short read for students who enjoy complex text and writing. The author uses Scottish accents within the story, so readers can imagine characters speaking. The book also includes graphic inserts. The pictures are excellent and portray the story well, but need to be more consistent through the novel. The plot moves along at a quick pace.

After all, it’s fun to always have someone to play with. But sometimes Monica sticks to her like glue, trailing after Claudia and her friends and inserting herself into their games. When Claudia is invited to a fútbol tournament, Monica begs to come along. Claudia knows her sister will be crushed if she’s not included, but she longs for an activity that’s just her own. Claudia considers her options—pleading, bribing, even warning her sister about a scary monster. Nothing works. At last, Claudia turns to the hardest strategy of all: honesty. She explains that she simply wants to play with her friends on her own. To her surprise, Monica understands and agrees not to go. The sisters seal their new understanding by chewing some bubble gum, leading to a hilarious and literally sticky situation. Readers who have weathered both loving and exasperating sibling relationships will see themselves in this heartfelt story. The push and pull between the sisters feels authentic even as Siqueira maintains a playful, humorous tone, matched by de Castro’s exaggerated cartoon artwork. Spanish vocabulary is seamlessly woven throughout, and Claudia’s family members are brown-skinned and cued Latine.\u003cbr\u003e\nA funny and tender celebration of sisterhood, honesty, and finding space while staying close. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eClaudia has a “sticky” little sister, Monica, who is attached to Claudia like a wad of bright pink bubblegum. This is fine when they play together, but Claudia begins to feel a frustration that builds into gritted teeth anger at her sister’s constant presence. Her breaking point comes when their mother calls Claudia’s soccer coach to ask if Monica can attend her tournament as the “cheerleader.” Determined to stop her, Claudia begins brainstorming various plans to get Monica to back out, but begging wouldn’t work (“Monica is better at that”), and crying won’t work since her sister “cries louder and longer.” Finally, after a misguided attempt at scaring Monica out of coming, Claudia confesses that she wants to go to her tournament with just her friends, and Monica surprisingly agrees, instead electing to go to the beach with their cousins. The sisters make up by blowing bubblegum balloons so large they pop and get enmeshed in both girls’ hair. As the two brown-skinned, brown-haired siblings move through their days, their exaggerated expressions telegraph joy, despair, and frustration to great comedic effect while the bubble gum motif appears throughout scenes dominated by a cheery palette of pinks in all shades. In an author’s note, Siquiera describes her Brazilian heritage and being part of a multicultural Cuban and Brazilian family, which may explain some more regionally distinct terms that are slightly different from Cuban Spanish (figuritas meaning trading cards instead of action figures, pis meaning pee). Both versions are easy, humorous reads, perfect for kids having a difficult time separating from their family, and the story ends on a loving final image: sisters finally separated in their own locations but still looking toward each other with love—and with matching shaved spots on their heads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eClaudia and Monica love being sisters. They do everything together, from playing to making Brazilian pastries. But sometimes together can be too much. Little sister Monica doesn’t want to miss out on anything Claudia is doing, and her intrusive habits are feeling . . . sticky: “Following-Claudia-and-amigos-around sticky. Always-invading-games sticky.” Finally, Claudia gets the courage to tell Monica that she would like to go to her soccer game alone, but that she’ll play with Monica afterward. And, to her surprise, Monica is OK with that because she decides that she’ll go to the beach with her cousins instead. This is a great read-aloud about sibling love, conflict resolution, communication, and compromise. The boldly colored illustrations by De Castro are eye-catching and expressive as they depict the big feelings the sisters are experiencing. An author’s note explains how this story is based on Siqueira’s relationship with her own little sister as they grew up in Brazil. A helpful glossary of the Spanish words concludes.

Older sister Claudia has grown tired of her sister Monica tagging along with every activity she does. Monica has become a sticky sister, and Claudia is desperate to become unstuck. When an opportunity comes up for Claudia to attend a sports tournament, she thinks this might finally be her moment to be alone. But alas, no luck. Claudia tries to escape her situation by concocting various ways to stop Monica from coming along. After a mysterious mention of a bubble gum monster and lots of tears, Claudia finally is honest with her sister about what she feels, and it works—she is finally unstuck. With a smattering of Spanish, Siqueira builds a world influenced by Cuban and Brazilian culture, reminiscent of her own relationship with a sticky sister. The illustrations are boldly crafted and brightly colored in childlike cartoon style; the sisters have brown skin in slightly different hues and brown hair.VERDICT This title is one any pair of sisters can relate to and encourages being honest with familial frustrations. A recommended general purchase for picture book collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Hardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-579-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Hardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-580-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: October 28, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47864686084333,"sku":"45796","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish Hardcover","offer_id":47864698405101,"sku":"45802","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/sticky-hermana-cover.jpg?v=1742312417"},{"product_id":"hermana-pegajosa","title":"Hermana pegajosa","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/ana-siqueira\"\u003eAna Siqueira\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/olivia-de-castro\"\u003eOlivia de Castro\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen is sticky \u003cem\u003etoo\u003c\/em\u003e sticky?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaudia es la hermana mayor.

A pair of colorful fish venture within, encountering a variety of dangerous creatures: hagfish slime, a goblin shark, a vampire squid, a female angler fish dangling her light bait, octopuses, and even zombie worms. But wait, there’s more: “pinching crustaceans” and, finally, creatures such as clams that help finish off the bones entirely. Slate’s eerie exploration covers the same ground as Melissa Stewart’s Whalefall (2023), but with more atmosphere and less depth. James’ digitally created illustrations support the sense of menace. Unusual hues and strange sharp shapes against a black background suggest the darkness and otherworldliness of the ocean’s midnight zone (between 3,000 and 13,000 feet below the surface; once a dead cetacean reaches this level, it’s considered a whale fall). The text operates at two levels. Simply phrased sentences follow the fish through the decaying bones, with language that reads aloud well: “Dart through ribs!

As one of only three Nepali students with a shot at a scholarship to the prestigious Darjeeling International School, she must pass an English exam. Meanwhile, her older brother, Samiran, is struggling to find work after he’s falsely accused of stealing a neighbor’s motorcycle. On top of that, her 18-year-old Bengalese friend Tara is engaged to be married to a cruel man 10 years her senior; the match was arranged by Tara’s uncle, and she’s convinced he’s only after the gold jewelry her parents left her before they died. Sona stands guard as Tara sneaks into the kitchen to catch one last glimpse of her family gold. But that very day, the gold is stolen, and Sona worries that suspicion will fall onto Samiran. Can she solve the mystery? Featuring an endearing, resolute protagonist, this expertly plotted story will enthrall readers. Perkins deftly captures the details of life in Darjeeling, including the power dynamics responsible for the social and financial issues Sona and her family face. In showing the friendship between Sona and Tara, Perkins teases out the ways in which socioeconomics and gender affect the trajectory of both girls’ lives, from unequal access to water (those who can’t afford it must ration their supply) to the challenges of pursuing education.\u003cbr\u003e\nA page-turner that’s richly threaded with social conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSona, a 12-year-old Nepali girl who lives in Darjeeling with her mother and brother, dreams of being a teacher and helping the village where she lives. She has the opportunity to win a scholarship to the Darjeeling International School but must first pass an English proficiency test. Life is hard for her small family; her mother spends long, hard days picking tea leaves, while her brother owes money to the despicable tea plantation manager. If Sona doesn’t pass this test, she will be doing that painful work, too. One thing that brightens her day is seeing her friend, 18-year-old Tara, the niece of the plantation manager. Unfortunately, he has promised her hand in marriage to an equally despicable man. Their goal is to seize the expensive golden jewelry Tara inherited from her parents. When the precious jewels go missing, Sona worries that the thief might have been her brother, so she gets to work helping Tara, while also making sure her brother’s name is cleared. This is a good book for older middle grade readers. Sona is a brave protagonist who uses her smart thinking to help others. The exciting story also gives readers a look into various cultures and the distinctions between social classes. Joshi’s black-and-white illustrations provide emotion and detail to supplement the text and are exceptionally adept at capturing the expressions of the characters. \u003cbr\u003eVERDICT This book about an ambitious Nepali girl detective will capture readers’ attention before the first chapter is done; recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA Darjeeling tea plantation becomes the scene of a mystery for 12-year-old Sona to solve after her friend Tara's jewels go missing on the eve of her unwilling engagement to a wealthy businessman. Sona's sense of justice will not let her rest until she finds out what happened, especially if it means preserving the safety of her family, which works and lives under the eye of Tara's greedy uncle, the plantation's owner. Sona proves a plucky young protagonist, and the community she investigates is richly realized. Full of rich cultural heritage and nuanced political divides, this is a fun, lowstress (but high-stakes) mystery for readers who want to explore the world and dip into different pockets of history. The prose is clean, the story moves quickly, and Perkins, as always, invites her reader to think more carefully about the world around them and root for the girls of her tales. Recommend this to fans of Veera Hiranandani and those who love short books with lasting impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChildren's Literature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eSona, the 12-year-old daughter of a tea plantation worker in Darjeeling, India, has a chance to escape the daily drudgery of manual work if she can learn enough English to win a scholarship to the Darjeeling International School. But that’s not her only worry! Water is scarce; her brother is under suspicion; and her close friend Tara is confined by her guardian uncle, who wants to broker a marriage for her in exchange for inherited gold jewelry. This exciting mystery is steeped in the reality of mountain tea communities in India and filled with well-drawn characters of Indian and Nepali heritage. When Tara’s gold is stolen, Sona must find the real thief to protect her brother and her favorite teacher. The surprise solution and ending celebrate Sona’s compassion and smarts.

Concise opening passages introduce the participants and briefly contextualize the founding of the ride in 1984 by Cherokee Nation educators to combat increasing school dropout rates. Subsequent chapters recall the group’s six-month-long training regime and highlights the importance of the 2021 ride following the cancelation of the 2020 event due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the first ride skipped since it became an annual tradition in 2009. Planned stops along the 950-mile route from Georgia to Oklahoma trace the removal path, emphasizing the organization’s mission to reinforce lessons about Cherokee history. A standout section details the group’s visit to Port Royal State Park, where a park manager shares stories about the removal, shows the riders a preserved portion of the trail, and offers blessed tobacco for them to pray. Ample full-color photographs, maps, and diagrams spotlight the teens and the sites they visited along their journey, amplifying the historical resonance of this sobering look into tragedy and memory.

They begin with background information on the annual 950-mile bike ride—from New Echota, Georgia, where the Trail of Tears began, to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation capital—and how its young riders (mostly high-school and college-age) used the event to honor their ancestors. A chapter devoted to the events that led to the forced removal of Cherokee peoples in 1838 and 1839 provides more context for the RTR ride. When discussing this history, the text acknowledges that some Cherokees enslaved Africans. The rest of the book becomes an extended photo essay as Sorell describes the riders’ extensive training, the ride itself, and the range of emotions as riders visit places their ancestors lived and suffered while Chavez’s photos document these moments. The effect leaves readers with a modern look at the continuing impact of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eGr 5 Up–Between 1838 to 1839, Cherokee people were forcibly removed from their homeland in Georgia and sent to what would be called Oklahoma in the event known as the Trail of Tears. Starting in 1984, Cherokee youth have biked the route, learning about their language, culture, and history along the way. Becoming an annual event in 2009, the Remember the Removal Ride (RTR) is documented by Cherokee Nation coauthors Sorell and Chavez, the latter of whom is the veteran program coordinator. They follow the 2021 group of riders, weaving the history of the Trail of Tears in with the 950-mile bike journey. Readers learn how participants train for the grueling ride, details of their route, what they experience along the way, the history of the Indian Removal Act, and the journey of the Cherokee ancestors. Full of color photographs, maps, and other images as well as chapter titles in both Cherokee and English, the book will introduce readers not only to the history of the removal, but also to this unique opportunity for Cherokee youth and adult mentors. Back matter includes timelines, source notes, bibliography, resources, and authors’ notes. VERDICT By connecting the records of the Trail with the current experiences of young people who participate in the RTR ride, this title will draw readers interested in history, Indigenous studies, and sports. \n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-314-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 10 and up\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 112\u003cbr\u003e7\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: August 25, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48971097014509,"sku":"43143","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/riding-the-trail-cover.jpg?v=1762285669"},{"product_id":"ten-beautiful-things-board-book","title":"Ten Beautiful Things Board Book","description":"\u003ch6\u003eBoard book edition coming July 14, 2026.

When it’s announced that a community block party will be moved to a venue that lacks power, a trio of children lament “No electricity meant no booming bhangra beats” until an elder suggests they solve the problem themselves. Evenly paced storytelling traces the kids’ day-by-day process as they orchestrate a plan to create their own instruments. After brainstorming and sketching, they repurpose recyclables into shakers (“Raúl poured pebbles into coffee tins. They rattled”), drums (“Mira’s shredded-paper brushes rustled”), and sitars (“Pran’s sitar TWANGED and VIBRATED”). Coupled with contributions from inspired neighbors, the results make for an event marked by “a marvelous mash, all these sounds made from trash.” Employing muted coloring, digital cartooning incorporates music notes and prototype schematics throughout an enthusiastic tale of invention that eagerly highlights creative problem-solving. A Spanish-language edition publishes simultaneously. Characters are portrayed with various abilities and skin tones. Back matter includes a design-process workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA diverse trio of kids recycles and experiments to create instruments that will enliven the community block party. Pran, Raul, and Mira make lists and sketches and brainstorm the materials required to make their instruments. They gather supplies from other people’s trash and assemble shakers, drums, and stringed (rubber-banded) music makers from different materials that produce different sounds. Their industriousness is observed by neighbors, who are inspired to make their own instruments for what turns out to be a rocking block party. This simple story, told economically and descriptively, neatly encourages recycling while demonstrating the engineering design process. Digitally created cartoon illustrations capture the kids’ enthusiasm and the many iterations in their planning process. They show that the project is doable and within the capabilities of the intended audience. Back matter includes a glossary, information about sound and the design process, and additional sound-related activities. VERDICT A useful resource for lessons on recycling and problem-solving; this will inspire readers who like crafts or making music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Hardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-684-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Paperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-686-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Hardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-685-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Paperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-687-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 40\u003cbr\u003e9\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: August 4, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"English Hardcover","offer_id":49089444872429,"sku":"46847","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"English Paperback","offer_id":49089527972077,"sku":"46861","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish-English Bilingual Hardcover","offer_id":49089508868333,"sku":"46854","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spanish-English Bilingual Paperback","offer_id":49089519091949,"sku":"46878","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/sounds-of-trash-cover.jpg?v=1764623595"},{"product_id":"como-suena-la-basura","title":"Cómo suena la basura","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing August 4, 2026.

Joy can become a form of resistance, as shown in this biography. From childhood, Richard ­Lamberty recognizes dance as an authentic expression of self, even when adults attempt to ­temper or redirect that impulse. The narrative ­follows how that early certainty evolves into advocacy, culminating in his founding of April Follies to legitimize and expand opportunities for same-sex ballroom competition. What begins as personal passion becomes public work. Dance is presented as both disciplined craft and cultural ­intervention, challenging restrictive norms and widening the circle of belonging. Chen’s digital illustrations heighten this sense of ­movement and ­intention. Sweeping lines carry the eye across each spread, capturing lift, extension, and precision, allowing readers to feel the movement of dance through the ­illustrations. Saturated jewel tones and warm golds evoke stage light and celebration without veering into excess. The characterization feels contemporary and accessible while maintaining elegance. ­VERDICT An uplifting and thoughtfully rendered ­portrait that affirms how artistic conviction can reshape tradition and expand possibilities for ­inclusion; a necessary purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  Under studio lights and strict rules, a young dancer refuses to stay in step.\nThis picture-book biography, co-authored by its subject, focuses on the life of dancer Lamberty (b. 1959). As a teen, he falls for ballroom—jive, rumba, cha-cha—but bristles at the rigid roles that reserve all the fun flair for girls. Though his teachers shut him down, he practices both parts in private, twirling and dipping on his own. That determination sharpens his skill and leads to a job teaching dance, yet he still longs to perform freely. Years later, he spots a flyer for the Gay Games in Amsterdam. Finding a partner proves difficult at a time when many fear being openly themselves, but Richard persists. When he finally competes, he and his partner Tom place third in the world. The experience affirms what Richard already knows: If a true space of belonging doesn’t exist for him, he must build it from the ground up. He leans into queer advocacy and creates April Follies, an inclusive competition that welcomes dancers as they are. Chen’s digital illustrations feature fluid shapes and luminous gradients that convey motion and joy. Ribbonlike color sweeps guide the eye, while Richard seems to glow brighter than all those around him, capturing his spark. Richard is white, and the book’s ensemble visually reflects a wide range of identities.\u003cbr\u003e\nA poignant reflection on joyful resistance. \n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-648-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5–8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: August 4, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49093466915053,"sku":"46489","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/a-place-to-dance-cover.jpg?v=1764096661"},{"product_id":"anansi-and-the-talking-cloth","title":"Anansi and the Talking Cloth","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing August 25, 2026.

Starting with Ancient Mesopotamia in 1754 BCE, the book travels through Thebes, Egypt; Athens, Greece; Rome, Italy; Chang’an, China; Timbuktu, Mali; Canterbury, England; Tenochtitlán, Mexico; Edo, ­Japan; Williamsburg, Virginia; and ends in Sacramento, California in 1851 CE. Along the way, readers learn about what was considered a criminal offense in each city during that time period. Chapters start with a short history of the city and different laws, social norms, and regulations that ­apply. Then two beautifully illustrated pages invite readers to look for the law breakers based on their new knowledge. Following that is another bit of history; finally, readers find out if they have determined the correct infractions and the punishments for each offense. The book incorporates “Where’s Waldo?” elements with historical facts that will shock and delight middle grade readers for an entertaining introduction to how crime and punishment has changed across centuries and countries. Back matter includes a glossary. VERDICT Tweens interested in history, crime, and fun facts will enjoy this highly compelling adventure through time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-846-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 9–12\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 80\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: August 18, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49093515903213,"sku":"98461","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/crimes-through-time-cover.jpg?v=1764096652"},{"product_id":"everything-grandma-needs","title":"Everything Grandma Needs","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing July 14, 2026.

Written from the child’s point of view, this moving tale shows how sharing such a difficult task can make it easier for the person who must make the hard decisions about what is important to keep and what can easily be thrown out or given away rather than moved to one’s new home. Watching her grandmother struggle with indecision, the girl shares some advice that she has learned from her teacher: “If you’re overwhelmed by something tricky, start with the easiest part and work your way up.” This bit of wisdom helps Grandma make the tough choices that are filling her day. Both the first-person narrative and the warm, detailed illustrations contribute to the story’s broad appeal. The book concludes with practical advice from Griffin, who helped her mother downsize before a move, as well as tips for helping children let go of some possessions. A captivating book that celebrates empathy, practicality, and an intergenerational family’s shared experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Grandma feels overwhelmed by the enormity of downsizing from her large home to a small condominium, her grandchild makes an important suggestion.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe grandchild, who narrates, isn’t so sure about Grandma’s move: “Trouble is I like that big old house with the porch swing and the deep bathtub and the canopy bed where I sleep when I visit.” The youngster, Mom, and Grandma, all of whom are pale-skinned, start grouping items into three categories—keep, donate, and throw away—but the “keep” pile becomes unwieldy. But the narrator remembers a teacher’s wise words: “start with the easiest part and work your way up.” Beginning with tangled electrical cords and rolls of tape, over the course of a week the trio eventually declutter the house all the way to an acceptable outcome. All three characters exhibit warmth and respect for each other: Mom proposes a storage unit when Grandma’s reluctant to throw things out, and, later, the little one insists that Grandma keep a pendant that was a gift from Grandpa. Sensitive, quietly humorous text is well matched by softly colored pen-and-ink drawings. Together, they capture subtle mood changes as three generations sort through years of accumulated belongings, all steeped in emotion. The tale ends sweetly and without drama—reminiscent of the late Robert McCloskey’s picture books but with a contemporary feel. \u003cbr\u003e\nA gentle, useful, and empathetic resource for anyone facing the often painful prospect of decluttering. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA little girl with pale skin and her mother help Grandma with the difficult task of downsizing.

It’s easy to say goodbye to random power cords, extra rolls of tape, and china for 12. With the easy stuff out of the way, the sentimental decisions aren’t as challenging. The bin of puppets will go to the girl’s house. Grandma will keep the cookbook with her mother’s handwriting in the margins. They have some fun with a fashion show, and, in the end, everything, including Grandma, fits into her new condo. Endearing illustrations crafted with an assured pencil line and colored with washes show a vigorous grandma in sweatpants with only a little gray in her straight black hair. It is refreshing to see a child being the support for her grandmother when picture books often depict grandparents as the wise elders. An author’s note and clutter-clearing tips, while sensible, seem of most interest to adults. VERDICT Pictures and text create a warm and satisfying story that should appeal to a wide audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-652-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 40\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: July 14, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49093542543597,"sku":"46526","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/everything-grandma-needs-cover.jpg?v=1764096661"},{"product_id":"landing-in-a-new-pond","title":"Landing in a New Pond","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing August 11, 2026.

While visiting a nearby park with Mama and little sister Madeleine, the protagonist bonds with a group of ducks: “Their quacks are hellos. Their waddles are waves. Their nibbles are noisy thank-yous.” The child brings the ducks healthy snacks and pays special attention to Buttercup (who’s lost many feathers) and Hoppity, who has an injured foot. Doehring’s immersive illustrations, often spilling across spreads, show a park full of colors that change with the seasons. All the while, the child’s confidence and attachment to these new friends strengthen. Madeleine tries to help but “is too little to do it right.” Mama warns, “Soon, the ducks will move, like we did.” Even after the child makes them a feast of all their favorite treats, the flock disappears one snowy morning, heading south for the winter. “Moving is hard,” says Mama. “For ducks, for kids, even for grown-ups.” But the narrator finds a willing playmate in Madeleine as Ramel and Doehring bring the narrative to a conclusion imbued with themes of resilience and friendship among those in one’s own flock. Backmatter provides information on the story’s inspiration, as well as information on what ducks can and can’t eat.

But even though Lola loves reading to and playing with the baby, she sometimes needs time to herself, too. Luckily, Lola’s family is supportive of Lola’s needs. When she creates her very own hideout, Lola has the opportunity to make the space her own as she processes the big feelings that naturally come with change. This continuation of the Lola series embraces an important part of being the oldest child in a growing family. Using succinct, familiar language and colorful, optimistic imagery, the story engages readers while encouraging understanding when feelings of overwhelm impact family members of all ages. Fans of the “Lola Reads” series will appreciate growing alongside Lola as her family expands, and this book fits easily into the Lola canon thanks to its warm, supportive delivery. Astute observers will also enjoy identifying characters from previous installments within this one. Large font and bright colors enhance the book’s visual appeal, focusing on Lola and her family in the comfort of their home. At the end, a message for caregivers reminds readers of the importance of having one’s own space to process big feelings, and the book’s presentation offers suggestions for promoting this process while still being kind to other family members. Charming and heartfelt, this picture book is an uplifting addition to the Lola stories collection and is well-suited to young readers adjusting to life with new members of their families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-384-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 2–5\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e8\u003c\/sub\u003e x 9 \u003csup\u003e5\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e8\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: May 26, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49094019580141,"sku":"43836","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/lolas-perfect-hideout-cover.jpg?v=1764096663"},{"product_id":"napesni-renegade","title":"Napesni Renegade","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing July 21, 2026.

One day, a truck and trailer arrive to take Napesni and his relatives to a new home. The trip is confining and confusing, and upon being unloaded, Napesni runs off through Minnesota’s “thick prairie dirt.” Alone and homesick, Napesni evades humans before finally being coaxed over to a ranch, where he reunites with his family. Napesni’s journey highlights differences in regional flora and fauna while reinforcing the presence of distinct and contemporary Native communities, further reiterated through textual incorporation of Lakota and Ojibwe languages. Rendon’s sensory-centered portrayal of the young bison appropriately involves copious stamping, sniffing, and snorting, and Zimmerman’s dynamic acrylic and ink artwork, a pointillistic array of creams and tawny browns, emphasizes the hearty texture of canvas beneath rolling green hills and an azure sky. Detailed backmatter underscores the cultural impact, spiritual importance, and environmental benefits of bison while also discussing the real-life events that inspired this story: the creation of a bison herd for the Red Lake Nation in Minnesota.\u003cbr\u003e\nA solid pick for fans of animal adventures with high engagement opportunities for young environmental stewards.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-627-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e11 x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: July 21, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096642035949,"sku":"46274","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/napesni-renegade-cover.jpg?v=1764794723"},{"product_id":"otters-new-neighbors","title":"Otter's New Neighbors","description":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/li-xingming\"\u003eLi Xingming\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eWelcome to the neighborhood!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOtter’s new neighbors near the lake turns up, each bringing a thoughtful gift to welcome him.

Then the neighbors begin to arrive. Beaver brings supplies to construct a bed. Mr. and Mrs. Antelope show up with a round table. The Sheep family would like to sew a quilt. Goose’s children deliver cattails to make cushions. With each knock at the door, the home—and the pages—grow fuller, brighter, and more alive. Just as Otter is settling in, a thunderous knock rattles the house. It’s Bear: large, unexpected, impossible to ignore. Bear can’t fit through the door. Everyone attempts to help him inside; they succeed, but in a burst of splintered wood and comic chaos, the thoughtful gifts are scattered. What might have been a breaking point instead becomes a turning point. Together, the neighbors rebuild. More importantly, they widen the doorway (literally and figuratively) so everyone can enter. The message is clear: Communal living requires flexibility, generosity, and room for the unforeseen. Soft, charming illustrations cleverly expand from spare to bustling as the cast grows, visually reinforcing the themes of inclusion and shared effort. An author’s note underscores the symbolism at play, with each visitor representing a different element of human connection. Sweet and sincere, this story celebrates kindness, resilience, and the grace of making space for one more.\u003cbr\u003eA gentle tale to foster community building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOtter has just moved into his cozy new lakeside home when a knock at the door announces his first visitor.

The steady rhythm of friendly visits is interrupted by Bear, whose enthusiastic entrance splinters the door and scatters the gifts. The neighbors rally to repair the damage with good humor, rebuilding the space and creating a larger door so Bear can visit comfortably. The tale echoes classic cumulative stories about making room for one more, calling to mind Jan Brett’s The Mitten and Mirra Ginsburg’s Mushroom in the Rain. Li’s softly realistic illustrations capture the kindness and the chaos, using expressive characters, generous white space, and dynamic full‑page spreads that bring the lakeside community to life.\u003cbr\u003e\nVERDICT A strong addition to collections seeking gentle picture books about friendship, cooperation, and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-755-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 2–5\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e9\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 9\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: May 26, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49098408460525,"sku":"47554","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/otters-new-neighbors-cover.jpg?v=1764096663"},{"product_id":"monsters-of-fife-terror-birds","title":"Monsters of Fife: Terror Birds","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing July 14, 2026.

The Anster Royal \u0026amp; Ancient (the R\u0026amp;A) monster hunters—Mr. Harris, Calum, Jamie, and Cat—spring into action when their quiet Scottish coastal town of Anster is suddenly overrun by bizarre, out-of-place animals. Cat’s Nan, herself a former R\u0026amp;A member, steps in to guide Cat through the trickier parts of the mission, including helping her better understand the region’s hidden magic. Together, the R\u0026amp;A rely on teamwork, research skills, and sharp observation to confront a flock of so-called “terror birds.” This sequel picks up where book one ends, but that doesn’t mean newcomers to the series readers will be lost. The author includes enough background information to follow the plot and meet the characters. Those readers who enjoy nonfiction interwoven into fiction will appreciate learning about real-life ­paleontologist Mary Anning as well as many of her discoveries that help the R\u0026amp;A solve their case. Another feature to hook readers is the graphic novel aspects that continue the storyline. Yolen is thoughtful about presenting unknown vocabulary; words are defined in the flow of the story, allowing readers to grasp the meaning along with the characters. A few words that are specific to the location and time period are not defined but readers will grasp them from the context. ­Primary characters are cued white.\u003cbr\u003e\nVERDICT Readers seeking historical fiction rife with ­adventure, monsters, and mysteries will be drawn in by the sequel, and to the series. \n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-476-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-791-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 8–11\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 160\u003cbr\u003e5\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 8\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: July 14, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49221464064237,"sku":"44768","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49221568921837,"sku":"47912","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/monsters-of-fife-terror-birds-cover.jpg?v=1764096667"},{"product_id":"the-little-green-witch","title":"The Little Green Witch","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing August 4, 2026.

Going home after practices and games is a relief for the girl, who feels unskilled at the sport, but who loves jumping into big piles of leaves. The persistent leaf becomes a fitting  etaphor for sticking with during one surprising game, though. The illustrations play on contrasts: subdued autumn tones and grays are applied to the girl’s sports-related tribulations; at home, all is aglow in the full spectrum of colors. Also engaging are details as of the loyal cat who accompanies the girl through the season—and of the leaf’s ultimate, glowing release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eA child learns lessons from autumn’s last lingering leaf.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pale-skinned, bespectacled young narrator is enjoying a beautiful fall day…before being decked in the face with a soccer ball. The scene abruptly shifts to the pitch as the child sighs: “I try hard. But I’m not very good.” Back home, the child jumps into a leaf pile in the yard. A final fall leaf clings to a tree branch, and though the protagonist is determined to reach it, the child’s attempts fail. As the leaf clings stubbornly to its limb, the protagonist persists, too, practicing soccer even as the color drains from the once vibrant pages, conveying the youngster’s despair. The leaf hangs on through winter while the protagonist plays indoor soccer, honing skills on the long march to spring. As buds bloom on the tree, the child notices the last leaf is still there and proudly notes, “I am, too!” The illustrations fill with color again, and the youngster remembers the leaf’s lessons: “Hang…in…there!” At last, the child leads the soccer team to victory during a championship game. Biedrzycki’s pencil illustrations are alive with the emotion, energy, and empathy readers will remember from his previous work. The author\/illustrator inserts clever details—the soccer team is the Leafs (in the final scene, the titular phrase applies to both the leaf and the child, who gets the chance to step up at last).\u003cbr\u003e\nJust the thing to plant the seeds of perseverance in young readers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-695-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4–8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 40\u003cbr\u003e9 x 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: September 22, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49994906075373,"sku":"46953","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/the-last-leaf-cover.jpg?v=1779116185"},{"product_id":"ege-and-avra","title":"Ege and Ávra","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing September 1.
