Summary

In "The Missing Chums," Franklin W. Dixon continues the adventures of the Hardy Boys, blending elements of mystery and youthful intrigue into a compelling narrative. The book is notable for its fast-paced plot and engaging character development, engaging young readers with themes of friendship, bravery, and the pursuit of truth. The Hardy Boys series, originally launched in the 1920s, captures the spirit of American adolescence, and this installment resonates with the classic detective fiction of its time while introducing exciting twists and clever clues that keep the audience guessing. Franklin W. Dixon is a pseudonym used by several authors who were part of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing company that specialized in creating series for young readers. The combination of collaborative storytelling and popular character archetypes provided a unique backdrop for Dixon's work. Culling inspiration from the spirit of camaraderie and the burgeoning youth culture of early 20th century America, Dixon crafted a world where the moral clarity of youth offers an antidote to societal complexities. A must-read for fans of juvenile literature and mystery, "The Missing Chums" is an exemplary reflection of the Hardy Boys series, offering a perfect blend of excitement and values. Its timeless appeal fosters not only a love for reading but also critical thinking, making it an essential addition to any young reader's library.

    Oliver has a lot going on starting his first year of middle school: new friends, new classes, new everything. But at least there’s one thing that still makes sense: SCIENCE! Determined to be an astrophysicist one day, Oliver explains everything he learns—like how the sun burps, how ghost particles fly through you, and the uncanny similarities between Mercury and cafeteria meatballs. (Also, there are time-bending black holes, exploding supernova stars, and aliens! Well, there could be aliens.) 
 
Oliver finally feels like he’s starting to figure things out … but can he stay out of the principal’s office, or catch a break from his annoying sister? With laugh-outloud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.

Bernice Buttman is tough, crass, and hilarious, and she just might teach you a thing or two about empathy in this debut for fans of The Great Gilly Hopkins. 
 
 
 
When you're a Buttman, the label "bully" comes with the territory, and Bernice lives up to her name. But life as a bully is lonely, and if there's one thing Bernice really wants (even more than becoming a Hollywood stuntwoman), it's a true friend. 
 
 
 
After her mom skedaddles and leaves her in a new town with her aunt (who is also a real live nun), Bernice decides to mend her ways and become a model citizen. If her plan works, she just might be able to get herself to Hollywood Hills Stunt Camp! But it's hard to be kind when no one shows you kindness, so a few cheesy pranks may still be up her sleeve . . .  
 
 
 
Get ready to laugh out loud—and maybe even shed a tear—with this fantastic new middle-grade voice!
