    Someone’s heading for a time-out in this clever picture book that “translates a ‘terrible twos’-style tantrum into a movie-monster rampage” (Kirkus Reviews).   Watch the unstoppable destructive force of a raging temper tantrum! Tremble at the enormous mess and disrespectful roaring! Despair as no amount of scolding can stem the heedless fury! Someone is heading for a time-out, Mister!   Anyone who has witnessed (or been) a toddler in the throes of a full-blown fit will delight in this clever book’s movie-monster rampage, and may just come away from it with a bit more sympathy for both toddler and caregiver.   “Dinosaurs are pretty much the ideal picture-book stand-in for a toddler’s rampaging id. . . . Reynolds makes the connection explicitly and hilariously.” —The Wall Street Journal   “This over-the-top tale that pushes the limits of the narrator’s authority will delight readers.” —School Library Journal   “Very funny.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    In this historical adventure for middle grade readers, a dog travels through time and rescues a family in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. 
     
    Ranger, the time-traveling golden retriever with search-and-rescue training, arrives in New Orleans as Hurricane Katrina approaches and residents start to evacuate the city. Ranger meets Clare Porter, who is searching for her grandmother. Once Ranger helps Clare find Nana, he takes shelter with them at their home in the Lower Ninth Ward, and they wait for Clare’s father to return from the gas station. But there’s no sign of him as hours pass and the weather gets worse. The wind picks up and rain pours down. And when the levees break, floodwaters dangerously rise, and Clare and Nana are separated. Can Ranger help Clare navigate the flooded streets to safety and back to her family? 
     
    Praise for the first book in the Ranger in Time series: 
     
    “This excellent story contains historical details, full-page illustrations, and enough action to keep even reluctant readers engaged.” —School Library Journal 
     
    “The third-person narration expertly balances Ranger’s thoughts between the appropriately doglike (squirrels! bacon!) and the heroic (Ranger’s drive to find and protect).” —Kirkus Reviews 
     
    “McMorris’s richly rendered illustrations heighten the plot’s many moments of danger and drama, and Messner incorporates a wealth of historical details into her rousing adventure story.” —Publishers Weekly
