  Before Neverland, there was Kensington Gardens—the place where Peter Pan first learned to fly. 
  In Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, J. M. Barrie introduces listeners to the origins of his most beloved creation. Here, Peter is not yet the boy who never grows up, but a baby who escapes from his home to live among the birds and fairies in the magical heart of London’s famed park. Beneath the whispering trees and beside the silver lake, he encounters wonder, mischief, and the bittersweet magic of eternal childhood. 
  Narrated with warmth and charm by Melissa-Marie Shriner, this timeless tale blends whimsy and melancholy in equal measure, offering a glimpse into the dreamlike world that would later become Peter Pan. 
  A perfect listen for children, families, and all who believe in fairies—or wish they still did.

  Something made me look from the amahs to the frangipani tree in the corner. And there she was—Ying. She was looking up at me. I shivered. Was my fever making me imagine things? I needed to tell Ma and Papa right away, but at this very moment, they were at Bidadari, tending to Ying's funeral. Ten-year-old Bee Ling grows up wealthy and privileged in 1940s Singapore, jealous of her beautiful, perfect elder sister, Ying. When the Japanese attack Singapore, Ying is killed in an air raid at school. Shortly afterwards, Singapore is occupied by the Japanese and the family endure the wartime hardship and horrors that ensue. Her sister returns as a spirit to guide, protect and reassure her that she will survive the war. Bee Ling grows to appreciate what she has left and gains an understanding of the bonds of love that exist even in the face of devastating loss. Written with unflinching clarity through the innocent eyes of a child, this coming-of-age novel is an intimate portrait of love, family, resilience, and the power of sisterhood.

  The first in a young middle grade animal series in which an anxious Boston Terrier and an exuberant potbellied pig team up to solve crimes in their barnyard—from debut author PJ Gardner.   
  Perfect for fans of the Mercy Watson series, The Trouble with Chickens, and A Boy Called Bat.  
  Horace Homer Higgins III despises dirt. And the outdoors. And ducks. But when his person, Eleanor, moves to a farm called the Homestead, the anxious Boston Terrier is forced to adapt. As if that isn’t enough to strain his nerves, Ellie adopts a perpetually cheerful potbellied pig named Bunwinkle to be his baby sister.  
  Bunwinkle is delighted to be on the farm despite the stuffy demeanor of her new canine brother. She’s sure she’ll crack his shell eventually—no one can resist her cuteness for long—especially once they bond over watching a TV pet-tective show.  
  When the duo discovers that neighborhood animals have been disappearing, they decide to use their new detective skills to team up to solve this barnyard mystery. Is it a mountain lion? Or their suspiciously shot-loving veterinarians? 
  Only one thing seems certain: if they don’t figure it out soon, one of them might be next!
