<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780763655990</link>
<description><![CDATA["Like Marilynne Robinson's Home was to Gilead, this is the other side of a beloved story -- but with a lot more giggles.  Klassen's deadpan fishies reimagine the plot of I Want My Hat Back from the perspective of the hat stealer, and the results are just as suspenseful, adorable, and laugh-inducing for kids and adults alike. Though parents will have to get creative once again to explain the darkly hilarious ending to little ones, this is a book that everyone is going to want to read over and over again!" -- Jessica Stockton Bagnulo, Greenlight Bookstore, Brooklyn, NY]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["This fantastic successor to Stead's Newbery Medal-winning When You Reach Me is a subtle mystery with a quirky and vulnerable protagonist and loving but fallible adults. Stead is a master of weaving big thematic questions with ingenious everyday details.  She tells this story about lies, games, rules, and friendship through facts about maps of the tongue, seasonal candy, and invented spelling.

<description><![CDATA["Mr. Jelliby, a member of Parliament, was too nice a young man to make a good politician. One day, he overheard the powerful Mr. Lickerish order the death of the tenth changeling -- a 'peculiar,' so named because they have the blood of both men and faery. Mr. Lickerish is planning to open a door to the faery world that would destroy London, and only Mr. Jelliby and Bartholomew, a changeling himself, can hope to stop him. Bachman has succeeded in creating a murder mystery, a faery fantasy, and an action adventure that middle-graders and older readers will devour." -- Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books and Hobbies, Oscoda, MI]]></description>

When a beautiful object that represents the heart of that faraway world hurtles through space and lands in Tommy's lunchbox, everything begins to change. This book will astonish you!" -- Joanne R.
