  Newbery Medal winner Erin Entrada Kelly’s alter ego—the effervescent Marisol Rainey—returns in this school story about overcoming stage fright and taking your turn that is just right for fans of Ramona, Clementine, and Ivy & Bean. 
  Under normal circumstances, Marisol loves language arts class. Mrs. Ruby is her favorite teacher and always makes her feel special...until the day Mrs. Ruby makes a horrible, terrible, downright dreadful announcement: All the kids have to write their own haiku. As if that's not bad enough, they have to read their haiku in front of the whole class! Marisol would rather swim through a pack of jellyfish than get up in front of the whole class to read anything, much less a haiku. 
  Maybe she can stay home sick. Maybe she can transfer schools. Maybe she can conjure a spell that makes her disappear. 
  Or maybe, just maybe, she'll figure out a way to take her turn. 
  Told in short chapters, this stand-alone addition to the Maybe Marisol series continues to uplift the small but mighty Marisol. Your Turn Marisol Rainey celebrates the joys of friendship, the triumph of overcoming fears, and the power of believing in yourself.

  "A dragon darkens our dells. A witch haunts our woods. Bandits roam our moors" . . . King Stromgard swept on. "In the tradition of so many monarchs, I offer my daughter's hand in marriage and half my kingdom to the prince who can rid us of these evils, restoring peace and prosperity to our realm."And so the contest in the Kingdom of Greeve begins. But Princess Margaret is not your traditional princess. Meg firmly objects to her parents' giving her away, and she certainly has no intention of remaining in the tower where she is sequestered. Instead, she sets out to win the contest herself by enlisting the help of her good friend, her loyal maid, an eager guardsman, a young wizard, and a tenacious witch. Does Meg find her distinct place in the kingdom, or is she doomed to fulfill her royal duties?Kate Coombs weaves a magical tale full of pesky princes, enchanted frogs, a beady-eyed scarf, and invisibility juice – a tale of wonder, but a story familiar to all who struggle to find their own place in the world.The Runaway Princess is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

  From author Jill Monaco comes a much-needed message for kids and adults alike - a reminder that we are all created in the image of God.  
  Miranda is a newborn baby when her parents buy a special, gigantic mirror for her bedroom that is a surprising source of fun. How cool that the person in the mirror makes the exact same movements and expressions she does? She soon blossoms into a fashionista and loves seeing her creative clothing choices in the mirror, and she always feels beautiful.  
  But a day arrives when she realizes she looks different from her friend. Miranda wonders - does different still mean beautiful?  
  Then one morning, Miranda wakes up and finds a sticky note attached to the mirror that reads: "You are fearfully and wonderfully made." The next day a new note is stuck to her mirror: "You are loved with an everlasting love." Each morning brings anticipation as Miranda rushes to read the new note attached to her special mirror.  
  As the years pass, Miranda's insecurities fade away, and her new identity becomes grounded and shaped by these scriptural affirmations.  
  But who is leaving the notes?  
  Join Miranda as she uncovers the mystery and learns the meaning behind the notes she finds on her mirror. This touching story will help your child see themselves as God sees them. An Activity Guide is also included so you can encourage your child to view themselves and others through the reflection of God's love.

  Winnie-the-Pooh

  Winnie-the-Pooh is a children's book by English author A.A. Milne and English illustrator E.H. Shepard. Published in 1926, it is a collection of short stories about an anthropomorphic teddy bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, and his friends Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo. It is the first of two story collections by Milne about Winnie-the-Pooh, the second being The House at Pooh Corner (1928).
  Milne and Shepard collaborated previously for English humour magazine Punch, and in 1924 created When We Were Very Young, a poetry collection. Among the characters in the poetry book was a teddy bear Shepard modeled after his son's toy. Following this, Shepard encouraged Milne to write about his son Christopher Robin Milne's toys, and so they became the inspiration for the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh.
  The book was well-received at release, and was a commercial success, selling 150,000 copies before the end of the year. Winnie-the-Pooh has been translated into over fifty languages; a 1958 Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, was the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Best Seller List, and the only book in Latin ever to have been featured. The stories and characters in the book have been adapted in other media, most notably by Disney beginning with Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966).
