by Barbara DeeFrom acclaimed author of Maybe He Just Likes You and Halfway Normal comes a powerful and moving story of learning how to grow, change, and survive.When twelve-year-old Zinnia Manning&’s older brother Gabriel is diagnosed with a mental illness, the family&’s world is turned upside down. Mom and Dad want Zinny, her sixteen-year-old sister, Scarlett, and her eight-year-old brother, Aiden, to keep Gabriel&’s condition &“private&”—and to Zinny that sounds the same as &“secret.&” Which means she can&’t talk about it to her two best friends, who don&’t understand why Zinny keeps pushing them away, turning everything into a joke. It also means she can&’t talk about it during Lunch Club, a group run by the school guidance counselor. How did Zinny get stuck in this weird club, anyway? She certainly doesn&’t have anything in common with these kids—and even if she did, she&’d never betray her family&’s secret. The only good thing about school is science class, where cool teacher Ms. Molina has them doing experiments on crayfish. And when Zinny has the chance to attend a dream marine biology camp for the summer, she doesn&’t know what to do. How can Zinny move forward when Gabriel—and, really, her whole family—still needs her help?

My Life Among the Aliens
by Gail Gauthierfrom the back cover: ""Counting the alien who crashed my birthday party, we had had three sightings. Sure things. By that point, there was no denying we had a problem with aliens. Maybe they don't come by my house any more often than they come by... say, for example... yours. Maybe I just notice them more than other people do. Personally, I find them hard to miss. There's never been a time when I've had to stop and think, 'Now, let me see. Was that the mail carrier or was that an alien?'" Meet Will Denis. Will's an ordinary kid. He's got an ordinary younger brother. His dad and mom are pretty ordinary too. Except for one thing: Mom's cooking. What she calls "cookies" and "bran muffins" (Dad says science hasn't yet classified them), seem to be attracting strange life-forms from other planets. You might think this would have a big effect on Will and his brother, Robby. And it's true, getting rid of pesky aliens is a tough business. But somehow, Will and Robby manage to stay just two ordinary kids . . . depending on how you look at it, of course."
My Librarian Is a Camel: How Books Are Brought to Children around the World
by Margriet RuursWhen we think of a library, we picture a building on a street or perhaps a room in a school. But some libraries aren't kept behind four walls. Some move from place to place in the most remarkable ways: by bus, by boat, by elephant, by donkey, by train, even by wheelbarrow. These unusual mobile libraries are often the only way that books can be brought to people in remote areas, such as the mountains of Thailand, the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, or rural areas of Zimbabwe. In places such as these, the arrival of the libraries is a major and much anticipated event. But the books would never reach the people without the hard work of dedicated librarians and volunteers. Margriet Ruurs, writer and educator, contacted librarians around the world and asked them to share stories about their libraries. In many cases, volunteers and librarians took camera in hand to photograph their mobile libraries and to record the happy faces of children receiving books. The result is this inspiring photo essay, which is a celebration of books, readers, and librarians. Why would librarians go to the trouble of packing books on the backs of elephants or driving miles to deliver books by bus? Because, as one librarian in Azerbaijan says, "the mobile library is as important as air or water." This text is listed as an example that meets Common Core Standards in English language arts in grades 4-5 at http://www.corestandards.org.]
