    *When you set foot in an abandoned village, it can be quite a shock to realize you aren't quite alone...* 
    Good news! Fun-loving, adventure-finding Steve is going on vacation! Bad news – *it's with the school!*  Not only will Steve have to endure the snore-worthy teachings of Mr. Notch, he also has to contend with Donnie Buggs – *the meanest school bully around*. Steve is heartened when his lady wolf Bob is able to go on vacation with them though – perhaps Buggs will be less likely to be so rotten with a full grown wolf staring him down. 
    But, suddenly, Bob has gone missing, and it's up to Dork Steve and his loyal friend Alex to hunt her down. As much as he would like to avoid to go, Steve knows that Bob has gone missing in a creepy abandoned village not too far from the camp site. Little do Steve and Alex know that someone – or something – is also in the village... and they have a bone to pick. 
    Abandoned Village is a page turning adventure that will engage any reader – whether they enjoy reading as a pastime or not. Just in time for the holidays, this book is a great read for children and an excellent way to spend the holiday vacation – on the edge of their seats!

    Joan Bauer meets Ruth Reichl in this charming middle grade foodie series.
    As the summer winds down and Gladys Gatsby prepares to start middle school, she is nervous about juggling schoolwork and looming deadlines from her secret job as the New York Standard’s youngest restaurant critic. When her editor pushes for a face-to-face meeting to discuss more opportunities with the paper, Gladys knows she must finally come clean to her parents. But her perfectly planned reveal is put on hold when her parents arrive home with a surprise: her Aunt Lydia, one of the only adults who knows her secret, fresh off the plane from Paris. Gladys and Aunt Lydia try one last ruse to fool her editor at the Standard, but even with her aunt’s help, Gladys just can’t manage the drama of middle school and a secret life. It’s time for Gladys to be true to herself and honest with her friends and family, regardless of what those around her think.

    The thing about Hank's new friend Inkling is, he's invisible. 
    No, not imaginary. Inkling is an invisible bandapat, a creature native only to the Peruvian Woods of Mystery. (Or maybe it is the Ukrainian glaciers. Inkling hardly ever gets his stories straight.) 
    Now Inkling has found his way to Brooklyn and into Hank's laundry basket on his quest for squash-bandapats' favorite food. But Hank has bigger problems than helping Inkling fend off maniac doggies and search for yummy pumpkins: Bruno Gillicut is a lunch-stealing dirtbug caveperson and he's got to be stopped. And who better to help stand up to a bully than an invisible friend?
