  The author of Hamnet explores sisterly affection and what it means to rediscover your voice—and yourself—in this storybook.  
     
  This is the tale of two sisters . . .  
  who had no idea that everything was about to change.  
     
  Quiet Bea keeps her shoes polished, folds her clothes every night, and alphabetizes her books. Her rambunctious sister Min wears torn trousers and wades into ponds to collect frogspawn. Above all, Min is a storyteller who loves to chat with everyone. But one day she chokes, and the words forming in her mouth never make it out. Words suddenly feel dangerous, unwieldy. Min is no longer herself—not with some strange creature stealing her words, a creature not even her sister can see. But that doesn’t matter, because Bea sees Min. Award-winning author Maggie O’Farrell pulls from her own experiences with stammering to create a realistic portrait of shaken self-confidence and how sharing painful situations with a loved one can make all the difference. This book will speak to readers who have ever lost a part of themselves—and found something new in return.

  Across the endless sands of Saharion, where veil dancers swirl prophecies in silk and nomad warlords etch oaths in storm-scarred blades, dancer Mira unveils a visionary union with warlord Kael, whose nomadic heart yearns for a fate beyond the dunes. Their love, swirled in veil vows and sand-kissed caresses, unveils the desert's secrets—or buries them in tempestuous gales. As they traverse vision-haunted oases and oath-bound caravans, shadowed by oracle rivals and dune stalkers, Mira's silken grace merges with Kael's warlike resolve, revealing a desert oracle legend of unveiled destiny. When a fractured veil summons sand spirits, they must dance the union to calm the storm. In the swirl of silk veils, where every vision whispers promise and every oath carves the soul, their visionary bond becomes the oasis that quenches the wanderer's thirst.

  A search for buried treasure unearths more than the kids bargained for when an infamous pirate’s curse unleashes its deadly wrath. 
  When a friendly shopkeeper spins a sordid tale of pirate legend on their first day of vacation, Noah dismisses it as nothing more than a thrilling tale. Yet, following his souvenir treasure map through the Caribbean rain forest in pursuit of the elusive “X” sounds like a fun way to spend a day in paradise. 
  Little does he know the pursuit could change his life forever. 
  Because as he and his sister and best friend inch closer to the treasure, the unimaginable might just become reality. 
  And if it does, can the kids defy the odds and escape with their lives? 
  Follow this unforgettable adventure of three unlikely sleuths, filled with fast-paced thrills and tropical island fun. 
  Recommended for ages 9-12. 
  No graphic violence or language. 
  "...Pirate shipwrecks, buried treasures, vindictive ghosts, and buried treasure make this an exciting fictional story for middle grade and younger teens to enjoy. (Kids who are) old enough not to try this in real life but also old enough to enjoy an “Indiana Jones” adventure. 
  "Shana Gorian is a master storyteller. This fast-paced adventure has all the right ingredients for a memorable read - great setting, characters, mystery, and a wonderful plot."

  Buzz, buzz, buzz. A fascinating and beautifully written explanation of the life of the honey bee. Maeterlinck, who won the Noble Prize for Literature, wrote a more scholarly work called The Life of the Bee but then rewrote it in simpler terms so that children could appreciate what goes in a hive. The book describes in simple language the inner workings of a hive from its beginning with a swarm to the fully functional hive with thousands of workers, drones and a queen busily building, repairing and gathering.
