Sinossi

One boy figures out how to survive New York City, his parents’ divorce, and a new sister named Sproggy Adam is a real New Yorker. He may only be a preteen, but he’s Manhattan through and through, from his boys-only club to his friendship with Charlie, the building’s doorman. And like all real New Yorkers, Adam takes bad news in stride. The night his parents walk into his bedroom to tell him they’re getting a divorce and his father is moving to England for two years is no exception. Adam knows he’ll be OK. After all, he’s got his mother, good friends, and nice teachers. But when his dad returns from Great Britain with a strange wife and a new sister for Adam, he isn’t exactly tap dancing for joy. Especially since his new sister’s name is Sproggy. Even worse, Dad expects Adam to show Sproggy around school. It seems like things couldn’t get any worse. But somehow they do. His friends? They actually like her! His teachers? They think she’s adorable! She’s taking over his comfortable Manhattan life, and everyone expects him to be happy about it. With absolutely no way out of this, it’s up to Adam to make things better. After all, everyone has to grow up eventually.

    A Times Children's Book of the Week
    A Guardian Top Teen Read of 2015
    "Happy birthday, Stanly. We hope you like your present…"
    Cynical, solitary Stanly Bird is a fairly typical teenager – unless you count the fact that his best friend is a talking beagle named Daryl, and that he gained the powers of flight and telekinesis when he turned sixteen.
    Unfortunately, his rural Welsh home town is not exactly crying out for its very own superhero. London is calling – but what Stanly finds there is a good deal weirder and more terrifying than anything he could have imagined. Perhaps he should have stayed in Wales …

    "The perfect potty training lesson ... a fun read for readers of all ages." —The US Review of Books 
    ~ From the Author of the International Phenomenon EVERYBODY POOPS! ~ 
    Everybody pees—yes, indeed! It’s time to blow the door right off the bathroom, and shine a light on what happens on the loo. 
    For the little ones just discovering the contents of their diapers and nappies, the bigger ones needing reassurance that the most frequent of their mysterious bodily functions is as natural as can be, and the biggest ones who still hold a fondness for toilet humor, Everybody Pees! is spilling over with bright and brazen illustrations and the truth about who’s doing the peeing: every body is doing it! 
    Sure to incite giggling fits and all-ages laughter, Everybody Pees! exposes one of the least talked about facts we all have in common the world over and among all walks of life, benefiting the youngest of us by opening the discussion, promoting comfort with their bodies, and helping them feel included. Pee pride!

    “[The] fourth of the light-hearted Arthurian Knights’ Tales . . . a 21st-century spin on the ancient legends” from the author of The Squire’s Tales (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant knights of the roundtable. While most of King Arthur’s knights freely chose a life of duty, for Sir Balin the Ill-Fated, destiny was foretold in a prophecy. And seriously, “ill-fated” is right there in his title, so Balin’s not surprised when things go sour. Still, no matter how dire the task, a loyal and gallant knight never refuses adventure! Will Sir Balin finally discover his true destiny? And which ill-fated path will he have to choose? Join Balin on this, the noblest quest of all.   “Lots of humor, wordplay, and numerous twists and turns.” —School Library Journal  Praise for The Knights’ Tales series   “With his quirky sense of myth and legend and tongue-in-cheek humor, [Morris] brings to life the court of King Arthur and his knights.” —Curled Up with a Good Kid’s Book   “The book’s brevity and humor make it accessible to reluctant readers, and it is a fantastic read-aloud.” —School Library Journal   “This trim novel, with simple vocabulary and brief, witty chapters, is an ideal fit for early readers . . . but fans of the legendary characters may find particular delight in this irreverent and unabashedly silly exploration of Arthur’s court and his most influential knight.” —The Bulletin   “This is often quite funny, and just exciting enough to capture the attention of budding young Arthur-philes.” —Booklist
