PINOCCHIO
The perfect gift for all ages, Pinocchio as you've never seen him before: telling his own
story through the master storyteller and award-winning author of WAR HORSE. "Now -
there's no point in pretending here - I was, and still am deep down, a puppet.
Everyone knows Pinocchio is a puppet. I reckon I must be just about the most famous
puppet the world has ever known. But the truth is I'm not just a puppet, I'm more than just
bits of wood and string. I'm me. So I thought it was about time that I, Pinocchio, told you
my story..." So begins this stunningly beautiful interpretation of the classic story.
Michael Morpurgo channels Pinocchio's words to tell the famous puppet's story in his own
inimitable, cheeky and always funny way. Lavishly illustrated throughout in black-and-white
by the acclaimed Emma Chichester Clark, this is a must-have for all book lovers, and an
utterly charming and surprising adaptation of a much-loved tale.

ONE AND ONLY IVAN
Winner of the 2013 Newbery Medal and a #1 New York Times bestseller, this stirring and
unforgettable novel from renowned author Katherine Applegate celebrates the transformative power
of unexpected friendship. Inspired by the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, this illustrated
novel is told from the point of view of Ivan himself.
Having spent twenty-seven years behind the glass walls of his enclosure in a shopping mall, Ivan has
grown accustomed to humans watching him. He hardly ever thinks about his life in the jungle. Instead,
Ivan occupies himself with television, his friends Stella and Bob, and painting. But when he meets
Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home, and his art, through new
eyes.
In the tradition of timeless stories like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, Katherine Applegate blends
humor and poignancy to create an unforgettable story of friendship, art, and hope. This paperback
edition includes an author's note highlighting the differences between the fictional story and true
events, a version of the author's Newbery Medal acceptance speech, Ivan's "signature," discussion
questions, and more.
The One and Only Ivan is a strong Common Core title that features these important strands and
standards: first-person narrative; author's use of literary devices (personification, imagery); story
elements (plot, character development, perspective).

P.S. BE ELEVEN
In this Coretta Scott King Award-winning novel and sequel to the New York Times bestseller
and Newbery Honor Book One Crazy Summer, the Gaither sisters return to Brooklyn and
find that changes large and small have come to their home. This extraordinary novel earned
five starred reviews, with Publishers Weekly calling it "historical fiction that's as full of heart
as it is of heartbreak" and The Horn Book considering it "funny, wise, poignant, and thought-
provoking."
After spending the summer in Oakland, California, with their mother and the Black Panthers,
Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern arrive home with a newfound streak of independence. The
sisters aren't the only ones who have changed. Now Pa has a girlfriend. Uncle Darnell
returns from Vietnam a different man. But Big Ma still expects Delphine to keep her sisters
in line. That's much harder now that Vonetta and Fern refuse to be bossed around. Besides
her sisters, Delphine's got plenty of other things to worry about—like starting sixth grade,
being the tallest girl in her class, and dreading the upcoming school dance. The one person
she confides in is her mother, Cecile. Through letters, Delphine pours her heart out and
receives some constant advice: to be eleven while she can.

dragged into Department 19, the government's most secret agency.

FIREFIGHT: RECKONERS #2
Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Words of Radiance, coauthor of
Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, and creator of the internationally bestselling Mistborn Trilogy,
presents the second book in the Reckoners series: Firefight, the sequel to the #1 bestseller
Steelheart.
Newcago is free.
They told David it was impossible, that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet
Steelheart--invincible, immortal, unconquerable--is dead. And he died by David's hand.
Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he
has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers.
Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though.
Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia, Babylon Restored is flooded and miserable, but David is
sure it's the path that will lead him to what he needs to find. Entering a city oppressed by a High
Epic despot is risky, but David's willing to take the gamble. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in
David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with
another Epic--Firefight. And now he will go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the
fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

RAGS & BONES: NEW TWISTS ON TIMELESS TALES
"The best writers of our generation retell classic tales." From Sir Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie
Queene" to E. M. Forster's "The Machine Stops," literature is filled with sexy, deadly, and downright
twisted tales. In this collection, award-winning and bestselling authors reimagine their favorite classic
stories, the ones that have inspired, awed, and enraged them, the ones that have become ingrained in
modern culture, and the ones that have been too long overlooked.
They take these stories and boil them down to their bones, and reassemble them for a new generation
of readers. Written from a twenty-first century perspective and set within the realms of science fiction,
dystopian fiction, fantasy, and realistic fiction, these short stories are as moving and thought provoking
as their originators. They pay homage to groundbreaking literary achievements of the past while
celebrating each author's unique perception and innovative style.
Today's most acclaimed authors use their own unique styles to rebuild the twelve timeless stories: - Sir Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" - Saladin Ahmed W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" - Kelley Armstrong Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla" - Holly Black "Sleeping Beauty" - Neil Gaiman The Brothers Grimm's "Rumpelstiltskin" - Kami Garcia Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" - Melissa Marr Rudyard Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be King"
- Garth Nix Henry James's "The Jolly Corner"
ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it's unclear who
saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the "natural wonders" of their
state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries. But as Violet's world grows,
Finch's begins to shrink.

ENDERS
The riveting conclusion to the sci-fi thriller STARTERS!
Someone is after Starters like Callie and Michael—teens with chips in their brains. They
want to experiment on anyone left over from Prime Destinations—Starters who can be
controlled and manipulated. With the body bank destroyed, Callie no longer has to rent
herself out to creepy Enders. But Enders can still get inside her mind and make her do
things she doesn't want to do. Like hurt someone she loves. Having the chip removed
could save her life—but it could also silence the voice in her head that might belong to her
father. Callie has flashes of her ex-renter Helena's memories, too . . . and the Old Man is
back, filling her with fear. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen body?
No one is ever who they appear to be, not even the Old Man. Determined to find out who
he really is and grasping at the hope of a normal life for herself and her younger brother,
Callie is ready to fight for the truth. Even if it kills her.
“Adrenaline-fueled . . . Fans of Starters will gobble this up.”—Booklist
