Minou claims that the tips come from her local feline friends, who are the eyes and ears of the neighborhood. Tibble is appreciative but can't help wondering: How could this be?

Synopsis: Brimming with dragons, goblins, and logic puzzles, this middle-grade fantasy adventure is perfect for readers who enjoyed The Princess Bride or Rump.
THE BOY is a nameless slave on a mission to uncover his true destiny.
THE GOBLIN holds all the answers, but he’s too tricky to be trusted.
PLAIN ALICE is a bookish peasant girl carried off by a confused dragon.
And PRINCESS ALICE is the lucky girl who wasn’t kidnapped.
All four are tangled up in a sinister plot to take over the kingdom, and together they must face kind monsters, a cruel magician, and dozens of deathly boring palace bureaucrats. They’re a ragtag bunch, but with strength, courage, and plenty of deductive reasoning, they just might outwit the villains and crack the goblin’s puzzle.
"An adventure bursting with wit and charm. The characters are fresh, the story is thrilling, and the puzzles are downright diabolical. A wonderful book." —Jonathan Auxier, author of The Night Gardener
"Brimming with sarcastic, cheeky, laugh-out-loud humor, this is a smart, original, and completely engaging adventure." —School Library Journal, starred review

Synopsis: A poignant and delightful story involving class, race, social customs, and a unique friendship that questions them all.
Though they’re divided by class, language, appearance—you name it—Chloe and Lakshmi have a lot in common. Both girls are new to Class Five at Premium Academy in New Delhi, India, and neither seems to fit in. But they soon discover how extraordinary an ordinary friendship can be and how celebrating our individuality can change the world.
"Whether describing the heat of a Delhi summer or the emotions of a homesick preteen in a strange land, Darnton gets the details right, bringing characters and story to life and also educating readers about the economic discrepancies rampant in India. Blonde American Chloe's perspective gives Western readers a way into this tale of inequality in a foreign culture."--Kirkus
"A solid multicultural offering for middle grade collections."--SLJ
"The heart of the story—standing up for others, despite social or economic class—can offer a good discussion for readers and hopefully get them thinking about those around them."--Booklist
"An informed and informative work of fiction that incorporates eye- opening facts about poverty and social systems outside of the United States while never losing the protagonist’s authentic and relatable voice. Evocative in setting, sympathetic in character, and noble in intent, this story is for armchair travelers and seekers of fairness and friendship."--The Bulletin

Synopsis: This award-winning true Holocaust story, newly updated, connects generations through one woman’s quest to find the truth behind a mysterious suitcase.
In March 2000, Fumiko Ishioka, the curator of a small Holocaust education center in Tokyo, received an empty suitcase from the museum at Auschwitz. On the outside, in white paint, were the words “Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, Orphan.”
Fumiko and the children at the center were determined to find out who Hana was and what happened to her all those years ago, leading them to a startling and emotional discovery.
The dual narrative intertwines Fumiko’s international journey to find the truth about Hana Brady’s fate with Hana’s own compelling story of her life in a quiet Czech town, which is shattered by the arrival of the Nazis, tearing apart the family she loves. This suspense-filled work of investigative nonfiction draws in young readers and makes them active participants in the search for Hana’s identity.

Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year - Puppy Action-Adventure Cartoon Novel
FREE Audiobook Inside!
Welcome to a very different kind of dog book.
For starters, this is not some made-up "say 'd' for 'dog'" book written for preschoolers. My dog seriously has it in for me!
At first she's all nipping and playing cute little chasing games with her puppy toy collection - then an hour later, when I try to teach her new tricks with little treats on the puppy's first Christmas, I realize there's no internet search for "naughty Yorkie puppy" that could do justice to raising, training, dealing with and trying to control this troublesome terrier!
Prissy Little Chloe: Time of the Year is a Bestselling, funny cartoon novel about my blonde Yorkie Chloe and all the trouble she gets herself into! This book in the series centers on how I ended up with a rambunctious little troublemaker for Christmas, after four years of begging for a puppy for my birthday and a puppy for Christmas - obsessing over "puppy images", "puppy photos", "puppies for sale" and "puppy breeds" like Malteses, Chihuahuas and Yorkies (see what I mean? Puppy everything!) - and after the puppy's first night home, her evolution from nice to naughty over the course of a few days!
What am I supposed to DO? If I had named my journal Chloe's Crazy Antics, its blurb would be:
"Chloe is a mischievous little puppy, as troublesome as she is precious. Come and see what she's been up to in these anecdotal and oddball days of trying to handle this little golden Yorkie pup!"
Yeah, right. I made that word bold for a reason.
That story actually sounds cute.
"Prissy Little Chloe is a humorous, helpful read for any youngsters who want a puppy of their own. It introduces children to the responsibilities of caring for a dog as well as the purely fun parts of dog ownership. Kids will enjoy the author's cartoon-like drawings of Chloe and the author's family, and the book even includes a chapter titled "How to Draw Chloe & Blue Bear in 5 Steps" for kids to try out their own drawing skills."

Be on the lookout for Prissy Little Chloe: Terrier Trouble! Chloe always wants to be the center of attention; she makes up her own rules everyday - and gets herself into problems running through the neighborhood - setting me on a (literal!) wild goose chase, every single day, without fail. She slips through the gate in the yard or runs through the door when she gets the chance and then runs across the street into peoples' backyard, homes ... or into their car.
