  In book one of this Christian chapter book series, two doves are charged with keeping Adam and Eve from succumbing to the serpent’s evil influence.   When God first created the world, He hung the sun and the moon in the sky, He filled the oceans and carved the mountains—and then, in His first garden, He created the very first flying creatures—Coo and Flutter, two very special doves on a mission of love.   In The Gardener’s Helpers, Coo and Flutter are given the important job of guiding and protecting Adam and his mate, Eve. Coo’s wacky ways and selfish desires blind him to the true mission God set out for him. He believes he can easily accomplish this seemingly simple task on his own. But when Flutter, his mate, discovers that Eve is missing, Coo finally takes the lead in a race against time to save her from the evil one. Tragically, they are too late. But God’s gift of forgiveness prepares Coo for the incredible journey that lies ahead. His mission is not over . . . it’s about to begin.

  A girl navigates the chaos of eighth grade while handling a family tragedy in this funny and honest novel by the author of Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie.  Claire’s life is a joke . . . but she’s not laughing. While her friends seem to be leaping forward, she's dancing in the same place. The mean girls at school are living up to their mean name, and there’s a boy, Ryder, who’s just as bad, if not worse. And at home, nobody’s really listening to her—if anything, they seem to be more in on the joke than she is.  Then into all of this (not-very-funny-to-Claire) comedy comes something intense and tragic—while her dad is talking to her at the kitchen table, he falls over with a medical emergency. Suddenly the joke has become very serious—and the only way Claire, her family, and her friends are going to get through it is if they can find a way to make it funny again. Praise for Falling Over Sideways“It’s a powerful and profound look at a family coping with unexpected change.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review“Authentic, funny, dramatic, fantastic.” —Kirkus Reviews “[Sonnenblick]does an exceedingly good job developing his adolescent characters . . . I would highly recommend this novel for any collection serving a middle school audience.” —School Library Journal

  A novel “filled with very credible teen angst, morality, and an intriguing blend of science fiction and fantasy” from the author of A Wizard Abroad (School Library Journal).   Still recovering from an overly eventful vacation in Ireland, teenage wizard Nita Callahan is looking forward to some peace and quiet in her suburban New York home. Instead, her close friend Kit seems to be acting a little weird, and Nita keeps running into problems for which wizardry either isn’t the answer or else it’s the wrong one. How do you fix what can’t be fixed? Only the Transcendent Pig knows, and it’s not telling. But Nita needs to find out—and soon. Her wizardly partnership with Kit starts to fall apart. Much worse, her mother gets sick . . . so sick she may never leave the hospital.Only one person can help Nita—the One she’s devoted her life to fighting.   “Powerful and satisfying.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   “A gripping and dynamic fantasy . . . Fans of the author will flock to this new adventure, which likely will bring new readers to the series.”—VOYA   Praise for the Young Wizards series   “Duane is tops in the high adventure business . . . This rollicking yarn will delight readers.”—Publishers Weekly   “High Wizardry is . . . high entertainment.”—Locus   “Recommend this series to young teens who devour books about magic and wizards . . . or kids looking for ‘Harry Potter’ read-alikes.”—School Library Journal   “Stands between the works of Diana Wynne Jones . . . and Madeleine L’Engle . . . An outstanding, original work.”—The Horn Book
