School of Fear

By Gitty Daneshvari
Face your phobias at the elusive and exclusive School of Fear. The school is unusual to say the least -- "terrifying" would be a good description.

Farewell, My Lunchbag

A Chet Gecko Mystery
By Bruce Hale

Chet Gecko's hunger for mystery is matched only by his appetite for cockroach casserole, mosquito marshmallow surprise, and stinkbug pie. So, he is more than happy to help catch the food thief of the cafeteria.

The Unfinished Angel

By Sharon Creech

In the ancient stone tower of the Casa Rosa, in a tiny village high in the Swiss Alps, life for one angel has been the same, well, for as long as she (or he?) can remember. Until Zola arrives, a determined girl who wears three skirts all at once. For neighbors who have been longtime enemies, children who have been lost, and villagers who have been sleepily living their lives: hold on. Zola and the angels are about to collide.
