As if being small and having S. Horten as his name isn’t bad enough, now 10-year-old Stuart is forced to move far away from all his friends. But on his very fi rst day in his new home, Stuart’s swept up in an extraordinary adventure: the quest to fi nd his great-uncle Tony—a famous magician who literally disappeared off the face of the earth—and Tony’s marvelous, long-lost work-shop. Along the way, Stuart reluctantly accepts help from the annoying triplets next door…and encounters trouble from
another magician who’s also desperate to get hold of Tony’s treasures.
A quirky, smart, charming page-turner, Horten’s Miraculous Mechanisms will enchant young readers—as well as teachers, librarians, and parents.
LISSA EVANS, who resides in London with her husband and two daughters, has traveled quite a mysterious path of her own to middle-grade novelist. After a brief career in medicine and an even briefer one in stand-up comedy, Lissa became a comedy producer and spent a decade running a red pencil through other people’s work before eventually beginning to write herself. Lissa has written three adult novels and a picture book. This is her fi rst work of middle-grade fi ction.

Three Little Dinosaurs
Charles Fuge
With its sweet illustrations, appealing characters, and clever concept, Charles Fuge's wonderful
new picture book really soars to imaginative heights.
Scratch, Spike, and Lofty--a friendly trio of dinosaurs--dream only about flying. So one day they
climb a volcano, hoping that if they jump off the edge and flap, they just might really take flight.
But it turns out that flying is harder than it seems--until a kind pterodactyl shows them the way,
and helps them turn “let's pretend” into reality.
Popular author Charles Fuge has won both the Macmillan Prize and the Mother Goose Award for
his first book, Bush Vark's Day Out. His credits include the hugely popular Sometimes I Like to Curl
Up in a Ball (“Highly Commended” for the Kate Greenaway Medal, 2001), I Know a Rhino, and
My Dad!, and he is widely recognized for his Little Wombat series. Fuge lives in Dorset, England.

Don't Copy Me!
Jonathan Allen
“Don't copy me!” It's a refrain that's well-known to children, parents, and caregivers. Now it's
Little Puffin's turn to say the words as three cheeky gull chicks follow him around, imitating his
every word and step. And the more the puffin protests, the more the gulls enjoy their silly game.
Can Little Puffin find a way to turn his frustration into a clever plan? With his usual wit and flair,
author and artist Jonathan Allen turns a simple concept into a wildly entertaining tale.
Jonathan Allen has created many wonderful picture books for children, including I'm Not Ready!,
The Little Rabbit Who Likes to Say Moo, When the Snow Comes, and a number of stories starring
Baby Owl. He lives happily in a quiet village in Cambridgeshire, England, with his wife, children, a
dog, a cat, two guinea pigs, several guitars, and three computers.

Little Critter®'s Bedtime Storybook
Mercer Mayer
It's bedtime for Little Critter and Little Sister--but something always keeps Little Sister awake,
whether it's a lumpy bed or a missing stuffed toy and blankie. So Little Critter tries to lull her to
sleep with a series of funny short tales. Will she ever drift off to dreamland? Beloved author and
illustrator Mercer Meyer tackles this age-old dilemma with his trademark humor and rollicking
antics in a picture book all parents and children will relate to.
After illustrating others' picture books, Mercer Mayer created his first truly original work with A
Boy, a Dog, and a Frog (The Dial Press, 1967), followed a year later by his classic picture book
There's a Nightmare in My Closet. In 1976, he joined Golden Publishing and soon began
publishing his phenomenally successful Little Critter® and Little Monster® series.

The Wind in the Willows
Kenneth Grahame, illustrated by Robert Ingpen
Another beautiful book by renowned artist Robert Ingpen in the popular Sterling Illustrated
Classics series.
For more than a century, The Wind in the Willows and its endearing protagonists--Mole, Mr.
Toad, Badger, and Ratty--have enchanted children of all ages. Whether the four friends are
setting forth on an exciting adventure, engaging in a comic caper, or simply relaxing by the River
Thames, their stories are among the most charming in all English literature. This keepsake edition
of Kenneth Grahame's beloved novel features gorgeous art throughout, making it a must-have for
every child's library.
Kenneth Grahame began writing in 1879 as an escape from the drudgery of his job at the Bank of
England. The Wind in the Willows started as a bedtime story for his son Alistair, and Grahame
later continued the story in letters to his son. The book was published in 1908 and has never
been out of print.
Illustrator Robert Ingpen studied illustration and book design at The Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology. In 1986 he received the Hans Christian Andersen Award for his contribution to
children's literature, and he was recently honored with the Membership of the Order of Australia.
- With publication timed to coincide with the major film release of The Wind in the Willows (Fall
2012, with Ricky Gervais as the voice of Mole), book sales should mirror the success of our Alice
in Wonderland, which published with Tim Burton's film and has sold more than 40,000 copies
- One of the most beloved and widely read children's classics of all time
- A lush and sumptuous edition with high-end production specs, ideal for gift giving
- Continuation of our illustrated classics series with Robert Ingpen

his friend Obelix rushing to the aid of a British village trying hold out against Roman invaders. But will
bad English food, drink, and weather do the Gauls in first? The Gauls face a Norman invasion in

Far Away Across the Sea
Toon Tellegen, illustrated by Jessica Ahlberg
More stories; more letters; more birthdays: Toon Tellegen and Jessica Ahlberg have again created a
unique collection of animal tales that will enchant children…and adults, too.
Tellegen's delightful short narratives conjure up a magical world where anything can happen: trees can
talk and walk, a sand fly can lift an elephant, and a squirrel wakes to find that the sky is green.
Ahlberg's delicate illustrations perfectly complement the beautiful and evocative writing.

Weird Science
Mad Marvels from the Way-Out World!
Matt Lake and Randy Fairbanks
What's WEIRD about science? How about two-headed cows, animals with ears on their knees,
crop circles, frogs falling from the sky, and scientists from the planet Venus? It's all here--and
more--as this continuation of the much-loved series takes kids on a scientific ride to the wacky
side. With two members of America's popular Weird hunter team at the helm, budding mad
scientists will enjoy a wacky cross-country journey they'll never forget.
Matt Lake is a journalist whose work has been published in the New York Times , the San
Francisco Chronicle, and the Baltimore Sun . He lives in Lutherville, MD.
Randy Fairbanks studied filmmaking at NYU Graduate Film School in New York City. He appeared
regularly as “Uncle Randy” on the weekly radio program Greasy Kid Stuff on WFMU, and his
stories about the character were featured in the online magazine WORD.COM. In 2007, he wrote
The Weird Club. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
- Over 29 volumes of the Weird series have been published since Weird New Jersey's 2003
debut, and the series has sold over one million copies and counting
- Weird Science follows Weird U.S., which sold 5,000 copies in just one month, in the kid-based
continuation of the Weird series for kids
