Meet the Dullards 9780062198563 By Sarah Pennypacker $17.99 On Sale 3/24/2015
Does every kid think their parents are deadly dull killjoys who live to ensure there is no fun, no
adventure, nothing that isn't safe and reasonable? I think they must, I know I did. Beloved
bestselling author Sarah Pennypacker (the CEMINTINE series) has created a fantastic picture
book reminiscent of THE STUPIDS and Edward Gorey. AWESOME! JENNY'S PICK.
Aqualicious 9780062330161 By Victoria Kann $17.99 On Sale 3/3/2015
"Pinkalicious is back with a new adventure—and a new color! A day at the beach becomes an
AQUALICIOUS adventure when Pinkalicious meets a merminnie mermaid at the seashore.”
If You Plant A Seed 9780062298898 By Nelson Kadir $18.99 On Sale 3/3/2015
If you plant a carrot seed, carrots will grow. If you plant a lettuce seed, lettuce will grow. But
what happens if you plant a seed of kindness? Or selfishness…? This is a resonant, gently
humorous story about the power of our actions, and the rewards of compassion and generosity,
from award-winning, beloved author-illustrator Kadir Nelson.
Middle Grade
Joey & Johnny: The Ninjas Get Mooned 9780062299338 By Kevin Serwacki
$12.99 On Sale 3/31/2015
What THE FOUTH STALL series did for the Godfather franchise, this surprisingly clever middle
grade novel does for the Martial Arts genre. Kids I know all went through a martial Arts
obsession, be it Tae Kwan Do or Karate or something else with a cool costume and multiple
colors of belts, and I suspect the exact age group that gets into this stuff will find JOEY AND
JOHNNY, NINJAS GET MOONED hilarious and relatable. The hijinks are nonstop, the characters
quirky and, most impressive, the narrative voice is as snarky and clever as anything Lemon
Snicket has delivered. JENNY'S PICK
The Keepers: The Box and The Dragonfly 9780062275820 By Ted Sanders
$16.99 On Sale 3/3/2015
“Author Ted Sander's award-winning collection of short stories, NO ANIMALS WE COULD NAME
(Graywolf Press, 9781555976163) was beloved by indie booksellers. I have not yet read it but I
have read his first middle grade novel THE KEEPERS: THE BOX AND THE DRAGONFLY and
WOWSA is it terrific! There is NO HUNGER GAMES, TWILIGHT or FAULT IN OUR STARS here; this
one is completely its own. How refreshing! A quiet but brilliant boy named Horace stumbles
upon a dusty antique shop full of strange treasures, one of which, a strange little box that he
somehow must have will change his life forever. A girl name Chloe, with the dragonfly pendant
she found in the very same shop, has discovered that she now has some handy powers. Horace
finds that, with his box, he can and must protect Chloe from a highly sinister, strangely longfingered gentleman called Mr. Jerico and together they just might save the known world. Full of
completely accessible theoretical physics and wholly original adventure, this novel is truly a
wonder. JENNY'S PICK.”
Blackbird Fly 9780062238610 By Erin Entrada Kelly $16.99 On Sale 3/24/2015
“In this touching debut novel, 12 year old Analyn "Apple" Yengko and her mother emigrated to
Louisiana from The Philippines when she was small. The only thing she has to remember her
father is a battered cassette tape of The Beatles Abbey Road. Apple dreams of being a rock star
like George Harrison, her favorite Beatle, but her mother won't buy her a guitar and the kids at
school mock her for looking different, for being from a different culture. Then a new boy arrives
from California and Apple wonders if, with his support, maybe she can break away from the
outcast she has suddenly become.It is not often that I really feel that the characters are so true
to their depicted age group and I found myself simultaneously transported back to my own
struggles with self-assurance and self-doubt that were the forefront of seventh grade and aching
for my 11 year old daughter and what she will (inevitably) soon be facing. In my mind this
reaction defines a successful MG novel. JENNY'S PICK.”
The Wolf In The Wardrobe 9781869509064 By Susan Brocker $5.99 On Sale 3/31/2015
“When Finn comes across a car accident, little does he realize his life is about to change forever.
The huge, injured animal he discovers is no dog - but a wolf, escaped from the circus. Finn is
bewitched. Instinctively, he knows he must save the wolf, Lupa, and prevent her return to the
cruel circus. Where to hide the wolf, and how to feed her, are just the beginning of Finn’s
problems. For the sinister circus clown, Cackles, is hot on their trail and will stop at nothing to
get Lupa back. But Cackles doesn’t even like wolves, so why is he so determined to get her? In a
race against time to save Lupa, Finn gets help from unlikely quarters. But will it be enough?
I LOVED this sweet and compelling paperback original, originally published in new Zealand but
now available for I-Wish-I-Could-Have-a-Wolf-For-a-Pet fans here in America (including me!)
Skinny Mellon And Me 9780007424856By Jean Ure $6.99 On Sale 3/3/2015
“In the tradition of Junie B. Jones, Ramona, and Clementine comes the vibrant new voice from
the UK named Cherry, whose parents have divorced, whose mother has remarried a weirdo
whom Cherry has dubbed Slimey Roland. Slimey Roland draws elves for a living, and he takes to
writing coded messages to Cherry and sliding them under the door. The book is in the form of a
diary that Cherry is keeping, and is hilarious, full of awesome drawings and laugh out loud funny
observations of the world. Slowly Cherry comes around to not hating Roland (whose allergies
prevent her from getting the dog she so desperately wants, among other crimes). I just loved
this book! Author Jean Ure has published TONS of similar books in Britain, stand-alones of a
piece with this one, which we are beginning to publish through Harper 360. I think they are
PERFECT for 8 to 10 year old girls. I think they could be best-sellers here.”
Secret Meeting 9780007428038 By Jean Ure $6.99 On Sale 3/3/2015
“Megan is a bookworm whose single mother is over protective, not even allowing her dip into
chatrooms for authors and fans. Megan's best friend, Annie, has a computer and parents who
are never around. Annie's long-suffering teenage sister is assigned to keep an eye on them, but
of course she is distracted by a boy and takes her eyes off them just long enough for Annie to
arrange for a meeting with Megan's most favorite author of all time...but how can they make
this special treat a reality? Author Jean Ure has publihed TONS of similar books in Britian, standalones of a piece with this one, which we are beginning to publish through Harper 360. I think
they are PERFECT for 8 to 10 year old girls. I think they could be best-sellers here.”
YA
Little Peach 9780062266958 By Peggy Kern $17.99 On Sale 3/10/2015
In the vein of Patricia McCormick and Ellen Hopkins comes Peg Kern’s gritty and gorgeous YA
novel, the riveting story of a runaway who comes to New York City and is lured into prostitution
by a manipulative pimp. I loved the read, cringing with every page but unable to put it down.
Perfect for sophisticated teens and adults but not for the faint of heart.
Bone Gap 9780062317605 By Laura Ruby $17.99 On Sale 3/3/2015
From acclaimed author Laura Ruby comes a fascinating, powerful, and wholly original teen novel
about a beautiful girl who is kidnapped from a quiet Midwestern town and imprisoned by a
mysterious man, and a boy, the only witness, who cannot forgive himself for being unable to
identify her kidnapper. This is getting a lot of buzz in the indie world. Could be a sleeper!
How to Win At High School 9780062336866 By Owen Matthews $17.99 On Sale 3/3/2015
If Charlie Sheer could narrate a YA novel this would be it. It is unique and thought-provoking as
well as, ultimately and most importantly, a terrific and edgy read. Adam Higgs is a loser when he
starts the first day at a new school, but with the movie SCARFACE as a model for success he will
become a winner. He starts by selling his services doing homework for the popular kids, which
scores him their faux respect and a freshman girlfriend. Check. But before he knows it he is
stealing exams and dealing pills. Adams's world spirals out of control, (did he not finish watching
SCARFACE, one wonders.) The weird narrative voice starts out cool, then gets annoying than
endearing. Lots of content here (graphic three-way anyone?) but the message of paying the
piper is a fine one. JENNY'S PICK
Vanishing Girls 9780062224101 By Lauren Oliver $18.99 On Sale 3/10/2015
The latest novel from bestselling Lauren Oliver does not disappoint. I have had tons of interest
in this book. My Sister’s Keeper meets Gone Girl in this story of two sisters inexorably altered
by a terrible accident, and some shocking secrets.
Panic 9780062014566 By Lauren Oliver $9.99 On Sale 3/10/2015
NYT Best-selling author and indie favorite author Lauren Oliver can always be counted on to
come up with something wholly different from anything that has come before, from her or
anyone else. Her new offering appears on the surface as just another angst-ridden adventure
story of teens doing reckless things, but upon closer inspection the reader finds a highly
inventive take on the much-imitated HUNGER GAMES series, only this story has
a realistic setting. Instead of a dystopian setting where teens are pitted against one another in a
fight to the death for purposes of the fantastical amusement of a twisted, power-mad
government, the motivation here stems from financial need and a longer for a better life in the
real world. The kids in PANIC play a daredevil game out of a hope to win a pool of money
collected from classmates, a chance to escape their bleak working class community. Combining
the irresistible elements of dystopia with the realistic genre that is the forefront of popular
fiction at the moment, Oliver has created another dynamic and compelling read that teens will
love.
How To Love 9780062216366 By Katie Cotugno $9.99 On Sale 3/24/2015
When this stunning realistic novel opens, Reena runs into her ex-boyfriend Sawyer at the local 711 drinking a big gulp Slurpee and readers are hooked for the duration. Sawyer has been gone
for almost three years. Reena has had his child in the meantime and has tried to move on with
her life. But, as we learn in seamlessly drawn alternating flashback and flash-forward chapters,
Reena has loved the smoldery, bad boy next door since 7th grade. The story unfolds as a double
love story, the birth and rocky growth of their initial puppy romance and the rekindling after
much pain and healing into a much more mature partnership. From the first pages to the last,
debut author Katie Cotugno has created both a finely told, insightful literary novel and a
perfectly paced commercial read that readers will not want to put down. Teen readers will
adore Reena's strong sense of self in the "after" sections alongside her undeniable, unavoidable
crush in the "before" chapters, as well as the steamy but not explicate love scenes throughout.
Adult readers will revel in memories of early love lost, what could have been. HOW TO LOVE has
strong cross-over potential and is sure to be a hit across the board. JENNY'S PICK in hardcover.
