Summary

Mother Nature is pissed.  Few will survive.   Jackie is loving her last year of summer camp, despite new-guy Xander, jerk extraordinaire. That is, until disaster strikes on the senior backpacking trip. At first, it seems like a nightmare, but Jackie quickly realizes that the huge fire and resulting carnage around her are as real as real gets.   Miraculously (and infuriatingly, in Jackie’s opinion), Xander survives the burning, too, but that’s the least of her worries. Mother Nature has wiped out millions and burned cities to the ground, plants are growing at a crazy-rapid rate, and fairytale creatures are very real—and very dangerous.   Jackie and Xander must learn to survive sans food, shelter, and soap, and battle their way across the wild American landscape in search of their families—all without killing each other. Along the way, the duo learns that maybe the other isn’t so terrible after all, but going months with no toothpaste isn’t exactly a recipe for romance. Will the journey be too much for their growing relationship? Will it even be worth it at all? Or will their homes and families be burned to a crisp?

    A servant boy becomes an unlikely hero when a thief strikes in this humorous historical mystery by the author of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. There are so many exciting things in this book—a Stolen Diamond, snooping stable boys, a famous detective, love, pickle éclairs—that it really does seem a shame to begin with ladies’ underwear . . . It all starts when M’Lady Luggertuck loosens her corset. As a result of “the Loosening,” all the strict rules around Smugwick Manor are abandoned. Shelves go undusted! Cake is eaten! Lunch is lukewarm! Then, when the precious family heirloom, the Luggertuck Lump (quite literally a lump), goes missing, the Luggertucks search for someone to blame. Could the thief really be Horton Halfpott, the good-natured but lowly kitchen boy who can’t tell a lie? A colorful and hilarious cast comes together in this entertaining mystery, Tom Angleberger’s loopiest novel yet!Praise for Horton Halfpott “A positively gleeful historical mystery farce. . . . A satirical homage to Dickens by way of Pratchett and Snicket. Short chapters, a fast pace and plenty of linguistic and slapstistic humor will have young readers hoping that a sequel is planned. The scribbly pen-and-ink chapter-heading cartoon illustrations are just icing on the cake—or pickle éclair. A romp from start to finish.” —Kirkus Reviews “Angleberger delivers many spoonfuls of sugar alongside the moral of this Victorian fable.” —Shelf-Awareness “Readers are in for a treat.” —Publishers Weekly

    Nana, in the endearing way of grandmothers, tells Sara of the importance of rice for their family and explains why her pa has to work so long and hard. Sara, reluctant at first, slowly begins to listen to the story and actually to participate in telling it. Together, they make a delicious, sweet rice pie, and, soon, the two are singing a song that spans the generations of their family.  Now anyone can make sweet rice pie by following the recipe included in this book.  The vivid artwork captures not only the story but the mood behind the story in its warm simplicity of style. Yet, each page utilizes an innovative story-telling mechanism. Atop of each page is a small band of illustration, with a gingham-framed picture at each end. While the main illustrations depict the action of the story, the top treatment serves to illustrate what the characters are thinking and talking about. The effect is to convey a wordless narrative that is woven seamlessly throughout the book, which raises the story to a completely different level. Laurie Lazzaro Knowlton is also the author of Why Cowboys Sleep with Their Boots On and Why Cowboys Need a Brand, both published by Pelican. She currently resides in Medina, Ohio. Joyce Haynes, a resident of Pineville, Missouri, has won numerous local, state, and national awards for her illustrations. Her illustrated books include Eyr the Hunter, When the Great Canoes Came, and A Good Soup Attracts Chairs, all published by Pelican.
