The Ninja Librarians: Sword in the Stacks
"Second in this swashbuckling middle grade series following 12-year-old Dorrie Barnes' adventures as a sword-wielding ninja librarian (apprentice). Dorrie and her brother have joined the Lybrariad, a secret society of heroic librarians—their mission: save people whose words get them into trouble. But now the Lybrariad itself is in danger from an ancient evil called the Stronghold. After stumbling upon the secret society of time-traveling ninja librarians, Dorrie has finally joined Petrarch's Library as an apprentice! One day, she'll actually go on missions to rescue people whose words have gotten them into trouble. For now she's taking some interesting classes: First and Last Aid: When Nobody Else is Coming Spears, Axes, and Cats: Throwing Objects with Precision and Flair Codes, Invisible Inks, and Smoke Signals: Keeping Secrets 101 But on a training mission to 1912 England, Dorrie finds herself dangerously close to a member of the Stronghold—the Library's biggest enemy. This is her opportunity! Dorrie can spy on the enemy, find the missing key…and become a real Lybrarian! But if she makes a mistake, Dorrie could lead their enemy right to the very place she's trying to save…and everyone she cares about. Praise for The Ninja Librarians: The Accidental Keyhand: 'Scrambles so madcap that it's hard to turn the pages fast enough to keep up.'—Kirkus STARRED Review '[A] melding of fantasy, adventure, and history…Readers who miss the collegial, magical setting of Hogwarts will enjoy exploring Petrarch's Library.'—School Library Journal 'Delightfully funny from the first page.'—Booklist 'A rollicking adventure with a smart heroine, heaps of mystery and the whole of history to explore. It's like finding Lara Croft running your local library!'—Lissa Evans, author of Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms"

"Jubilee lives with her beloved aunt Cora and her faithful Dog on a beautiful island. Years ago, when her mother left, Jubilee stopped talking. Now she communicates entirely through gestures and taps, and by drawing cartoons, speaking only when she's alone-or with Dog. This year, Jubilee faces a big change-leaving her small, special classroom for a regular fifth-grade class. She likes her new teacher, and finds a maybe-friend in a boy named Mason. But Jubilee's wandering feet won't stop until they find her mother. And now she discovers that her mother has moved back to the mainland, nearby. If Jubilee finds her, will her mother's love be what she needs to speak again?"

"So you think you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the girl with the unfortunate name and the inability to tell the difference between her grandmother and a member of a different species? Well, then, try your hand at answering these questions: Which character (not including Little Red herself) is the most fashion challenged? Who (not including the wolf) is the scariest? Who (not including Granny) is the most easily scared? Who is the strangest (notice we’re not “not including” anyone, because they’re all a little off.)? Who (no fair saying “the author”) has stuffing for brains? Master storyteller Vivian Vande Velde crafts eight new stories involving one of the world’s most beloved (and mixed-up) characters in literature. You may never look at fairy tales in quite the same way again."

The Watch That Ends the Night: Voices from the Titanic
"Arrogance and innocence, hubris and hope—twenty-four haunting voices of the Titanic tragedy, as well as the iceberg itself, are evoked in a stunning tour de force. Millionaire John Jacob Astor hopes to bring home his pregnant teen bride with a minimum of media scandal. A beautiful Lebanese refugee, on her way to family in Florida, discovers the first stirrings of love. And an ancient iceberg glides south, anticipating its fateful encounter. The voices in this remarkable re-creation of the Titanic disaster span classes and stations, from Margaret ('the unsinkable Molly') Brown to the captain who went down with his ship; from the lookout and wireless men to a young boy in search of dragons and a gambler in search of marks. Slipping in telegraphs, undertaker's reports, and other records, poet Allan Wolf offers a breathtaking, intimate glimpse at the lives behind the tragedy, told with clear-eyed compassion and astounding emotional power."
Allan Wolf (Author), Angela Dawe , Christopher Lane , Laural Merlington , Michael Page , Phil Gigante (Narrator)
