  I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons. 
   
  Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.  
   
  In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, author and illustrator Jeff Kinney introduces us to an unlikely hero. As Greg says in his diary: 
   
  Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that. 
   
  Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

  Okchundang Candy

  I still remember that house filled with summer … 
    
  Growing up, Jung-soon spent every moment she could at her grandparents' house. Dressing up and watching cartoons. Dyeing each other's fingernails with crushed balsam petals. Getting the whole neighborhood together to sweep their streets. Falling asleep together … just the three of them, happy. 
    
  Grandfather was Grandmother's best and only friend. On every Jesa day, during the ancestral ritual, he would gently place the okchundang candy in her mouth, a big smile spreading across her face as it melted on her tongue. 
    
  But nothing ever stays the same, and as Jung-soon got older, so did her grandparents. She presents an achingly beautiful novel about the little joys and sharp sorrows that make up a life together as a family. 
    
  ★ “This sweet, poignant tale deserves to be appreciated by all audiences, particularly adults with aging parents. Queue the (cathartic) ugly tears, though, and prepare with plenty of tissues. Heartbreakingly glorious … stupendously affecting.”—Booklist (starred)

  Eleven-year-old Ash doesn’t have much to look forward to: math tests, a naggy Mum, and an Ah Ma who doesn’t know much about her. That is, until she discovers something that will change her life―Ah Ma is a superhero! The best part is, Ash discovers that she has superpowers too! 
   
  Life is so much more exciting as a superhero-in-training. However, Ash can’t help but notice that Ah Ma sometimes gets a little absent-minded while showing her the ropes. 
   
  Amazing Ash & Superhero Ah Ma is a funny and heartwarming story about family and acceptance. Growing up and growing old is never easy―and all the more perplexing when secrets and superpowers are added to the mix.

The stories are set in various, often surprising locations, from the bustling streets of Hamburg to the icy expanses of the North Pole.Each story begins innocuously enough, but soon the heroes find themselves in thrilling chases where they must use all their skills and creativity to catch the thief. They rely on a mix of modern technology, such as their souped-up Lamborghini Gallardo with afterburner and flight capabilities, as well as clever tactics to outsmart the ever-elusive thief.Despite the action and suspense, humor and family bonds are never far from the forefront in Thief Stories. The family sticks together, no matter how dangerous the situation becomes. Together, they overcome every challenge, whether it’s a high-speed chase through the city or a rescue mission in freezing waters.Thief Stories offer a perfect blend of adventure, fantasy, and family unity. With their vivid and imaginative storytelling, these tales transport listeners into a world full of excitement and unexpected twists. At the same time, the stories convey values like togetherness, courage, and the importance of justice.Though the family manages to catch the thief time and again, the question remains: when and where will he strike next? And that’s what makes Thief Stories so engaging — they keep readers on the edge of their seats, eager for the next adventure.
