Dog Wants to Play by Christine McDonnell

“Dog wants to play. When? Today!

It’s Fall, Dear Dragon by Margaret Hillert

“A boy meets his pet dragon after school to rake and jump in leaves, carve a pumpkin, and enjoy a pretty fall day.” One of the Dear Dragon series, a Beginning-to-Read book.     [JE HILLERT]

In Too Deep by Jude Watson

In Book 6 of The 39 Clues, Amy and Dan track the next clue to a remote corner of the world,  and they make discoveries about Cahills’ power and their parents’ deaths. They must decide whether they can avenge their parents of if they’re following a fatal path.”              [J WATSON]

The Monsterologist: A Memoir in Rhyme by Bobbi Katz

“Open this memoir…if you dare! For inside this rare collection of letters, notes, and interviews lie the choicest fruits of the monsterologist’s bone-chilling research. In engaging rhyme, the monster master tells all about Count Dracula (“When you visit Transylvania, be sure to stay with me”); issues a werewolf warning; and dishes on trolls, ghosts, witches, ogres, and myriad mythological and literary creatures!

Designed to look like a treasured scrapbook, every page features an eye-catching mix of drawings, photos, and handwritten text. Plus, kids will love the die-cut, gatefolds, and other cool surprises throughout!
