The Spick and the Span
"Imaginative, magical, wildly funny, and with a truly unique world, The Spick and the Span is an extraordinary, exciting fantasy middle grade adventure – perfect for fans of Jessica Townsend's Nevermoor, Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood and Co, Diana Wynne Jones' Howl's Moving Castle, and Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Thanks to many generations of careless magicians, the city of Helm is overflowing with magic, which has made it a very dangerous place to live. Leave anything alone for too long and it will transform into something else: your house will turn to gingerbread, your teapot will start pouring pond water or – if you're really unlucky – your floor will turn to lava. The magicians liked to pretend it’s them who keep the worst magical hiccups in check, but the real heroes of the whole sorry situation are of a wholly different occupation: equally well known but decidedly less respected. The heroes of the city of Helm are the cleaners. Ward, an ambitious twelve-year-old cleaner, wants nothing more than to belong to the League of Cleaners, who will grant him the prestige and popularity he's been looking for all his life – if only he can pass three near-impossible tests. Struggling toward this goal with a team he doesn't trust, Ward's world is upended when his friend disappears and mysterious magic-eating monsters appear all over the city and start tearing holes in the fabric of reality. Suddenly his ambitions are the least of his problems… Hugely funny and exciting, and with an incredibly imaginative, original story, The Spick and the Span is the unmissable fantasy middle grade debut of 2025 – you'll never look at magic the same way again…"

The (Mostly) True Story of Cleopatra's Needle
"When a kid is dragged to Central Park in New York on a Saturday (when he could be at home watching the ball game), the last thing he wants is a history lesson from his mom. But then his mother starts telling him a story. A story about the giant structure sitting in right in front of them—Cleopatra’s Needle. It turns out that an enslaved boy and hundreds of other people spent more than six hundred days carving the Needle out of stone and pulling it upright. And another kid’s drawings were used to create the hieroglyphs on its sides. And a girl tried sabotage to keep the Needle from leaving its home in Egypt—sabotage that nearly worked. And a boy stowed away on the trip the Needle took across the Atlantic Ocean—and when the ship nearly sank, it was the boy who saved everyone on board. And when the Needle finally made it to New York City, it became a sensation … but almost got stuck just a few miles from its destination. This thrilling story is told through the eyes of five kids who were there every step of the way. But only best-selling author Dan Gutman could blend fact and fiction to tell it. Reading The (Mostly) True Story of Cleopatra’s Needle is like watching a movie … a movie that will have you on the edge of your seat. This audiobook is narrated by Amin El Gamal, Michael Rahhal, Samara Naeymi, Alex Wingfield, Mark Sanderlin, and Laura Knight Keating."
