  Out in the valley of Pink Painted Plums 
  Live the Hum Dinger Doblins, who love sucking thumbs. 
  They love it so much, they get carried away, 
  and sometimes suck thumbs for 10 hours a day. 
  But no, oh no, when they suck on their thumbs 
  It causes them to always sit on on their bums. 
  When they sit on their bums, they don’t do their jobs, 
  So no one’s out pruning with their thingamabobs. 
  This causes the ecosystem to all fall apart, 
  So tune in to learn how they make a fresh start!

  Thirteen-year-old Samim is a loyal friend, a gifted chess player -- and a refugee. After his family is killed in a bombing, Samim makes a long, dangerous journey from Afghanistan to the UK.

  Sylvia never expected to be at the center of a landmark legal battle; all she wanted was to enroll in school. 
   
   
    
  Aki never expected to be relocated to a Japanese internment camp in the Arizona desert; all she wanted was to stay on her family farm and finish the school year. 
   
   
    
  The two girls certainly never expected to know each other, until their lives intersected in Southern California during a time when their country changed forever. 
   
   
    
  Here is the remarkable story based on true events of Sylvia Mendez and Aki Munemitsu, two ordinary girls living in extraordinary times. When Sylvia and her brothers are not allowed to register at the same school Aki attended and are instead sent to a "Mexican" school, the stage is set for Sylvia's father to challenge in court the separation of races in California's schools. Ultimately, Mendez vs. Westminster School District led to the desegregation of California schools and helped build the case that would end school segregation nationally. 
   
   
    
  Through extensive interviews with Sylvia and Aki—still good friends to this day—Winifred Conkling brings to life two stories of persistent courage in the face of tremendous odds.

  Windy Creek Stables: Natalie and...

  In Natalie and the Summer of Surprises, Natalie has to discover if she can become the horse girl her mom has always wanted her to be. 
   
  Natalie is a city kid who loves indoor actives like reading and watching movies. So spending the summer stuck at her mom's riding school in nowhere, Virginia is the worst idea she's ever heard. But eleven-year-olds don't get to make the rules, which is why Natalie is at Windy Creek with a parent she barely knows and a bunch of horses she couldn't care less about. 
   
  Things go from bad to worse when Natalie realizes her mother actually expects her to ride. Windy Creek is full of horse-crazy kids Natalie has nothing in common with, and her mom clearly wishes she had any of them for a daughter instead. Natalie would give anything to get out of there and go back to the city, and even more than that, she wishes her mom didn't expect her to be someone she's clearly not. 
   
  With no choice but to learn to ride, Natalie begrudgingly participates in Windy Creek's summer horse camp alongside pretty, stuck up Harper, who is a million times better with horses than Natalie is and won't let her forget it, and energetic and fun Presley, who is at least happy to be Natalie's friend. Slowly, Natalie learns that a little perseverance and grit go a long way, and if she gives the riders (and horses) at Windy Creek a chance, they'll give her one, too. 
   
  Natalie and the Worst Summer Ever is the third book in Kaitlyn Sage Patterson's engaging Windy Creek Stables series.
