  Celebrate the defining moments of a great American painter’s journey to creating his own voice in this stunning portrait of Andrew Wyeth. Andrew Wyeth is one of the greatest American painters of the twentieth century. Before he found his creative voice, he was a boy growing up in an artistic family, spending his time in rural Pennsylvania and Maine. Andy, as he was called by his family, was trained by his father, renowned artist N.C. Wyeth, but they didn’t always see eye to eye. Pa wanted his son to work in bold, bright colors, and to fill his compositions with exciting characters and places. But to Andy, the most exciting stories to paint were the ones he lived every day, that featured the familiar people and places he loved most. Here's a portrait of a masterful American painter whose childhood shaped the painter he would become. It showcases Andrew Wyeth’s unique world. The back matter includes six reproductions of celebrated Wyeth paintings.“A truly fantastic book for those who are young and young at heart. Gene Barretta does an incredible job of tracing my grandfather’s evolution as an artist from a little boy to a ninety-one-year old man.  This thoughtful book takes readers inside Andy’s head and allows us to look at the world through his eyes.” – Victoria Browning Wyeth

  National Book Award winner Pete Hautman explores a friendship like no other—and the universal truth that dogs make life better, especially for underdogs.  
  Evan doesn’t seem to fit in at school or at home. He goes out of his way to avoid attention. He sits at the back of the bus, keeps his head down in class, and keeps to himself. But when a burr-covered border collie—a survivor with a gut instinct about the Boy—starts following him around and joining him on his runs, Evan’s simple duck-and-dodge existence becomes a lot more complicated… a lot more like life.  
  Evolving from wary companions to steadfast friends, Evan and the dog run fast and far together, thwart an abusive dog breeder and the school bully, and find the courage to stand up for themselves and open up to those who matter most. Narrated in alternating viewpoints, this relatable contemporary novel with classic coming-of-age themes has all the hope, pathos, and emotional complexity that mark Pete Hautman’s books for middle-grade readers—and is a deeply satisfying read for animal lovers.
