Glacier Stream Guardians

Damian Valentine

Summary

High in the Frostpeak Mountains, siblings Elun and Toro join celebrated hydrologist Dr. Marek to protect the life-giving Glacier Stream. They brave crevassed ice sheets, install flow meters to measure meltwater, and drill ice cores to unlock ancient climate secrets. Toro gathers caddisfly larvae and diatoms as water-quality detectives, while Elun designs sediment traps and mock wetlands to slow rushing melt. Venturing downstream, they map irrigation channels and teach villagers hands-on monitoring techniques. Their final water stewardship workshop, complete with willow-bank reinforcements and clear, colorful graphs, persuades regional planners to declare the Glacier Stream a protected watershed. An inspiring tale of youthful science and community action.

The Picasso Curse

Dan Gutman

What would happen if you accidentally bought a doodle worth millions? Edwin Hodge finds out in this middle grade novel by Dan Gutman, bestselling author of My Weird School series.
There were so many things Edwin Hodge didn’t know when he paid $10 for a cool poster of Kobe Bryant at the local flea market.
He didn’t know that hidden within the frame of the poster was an original drawing by Pablo Picasso, one of the most famous artists in history. He didn’t know the Picasso might be worth millions of dollars. He didn’t know that kids at school were going to treat him differently, or that he would become a world famous social media superstar.
And he sure didn’t know that people would tap his phone, follow him home, break into his house, or threaten to burn it down. He didn’t know the Picasso was going to ruin his life.
Have you ever had to make a decision—a really hard decision? A decision that would change the course of your life from that moment on? Edwin is faced with lots of crucial decisions in this gripping adventure, a blend of fact and fiction by Dan Gutman, an author who says, “I want my readers to think that reading my books is like watching a movie. One where you never know what’s going to happen next.”
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
"Brief, fourth-wall-breaking chapters dive into the history and lore of Picasso, an information free-for-all that Gutman delivers with his signature snark and panache. Propulsive and entertaining, this is an exciting adventure of complex ethical questions and derring-do that centers topics such as decision-making and independence."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
