  Animals can be sneaky. But do you know who is especially sneaky? Undercover ostriches! They're everywhere, and they're masters at going undetected. You've probably seen one and just assumed it was another woodpecker or owl. The narrator of this book is on the case, following a single ostrich on his many adventures. Not until the final twist does author and illustrator Joe Kulka let the readers in on the narrator's true motivation: a peanut collection mission involving undercover elephants.

  Just before the United States enters the Vietnam War, eleven-year-old Bé and her three-footed kitten Mèo must rise above the injustices of war to find the comfort, safety, and love of a found family. 
   
   
   
  Eleven-year-old Bé hasn't spoken a word since her mother left. She hangs on to the hope that one day they will be reunited, but after two years of waiting, it's becoming more difficult. Her father can do little to protect her from her stepmother, Big Mother. Thankfully, Bè has a secret friend, her little kitten Mèo, to comfort her in the worst of times. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, Big Mother has other plans. She accuses her of stealing, and Bé is drugged and sold. When she wakes up, she finds herself in a locked underground bunker being held captive with a group of young women. Bé is too young to understand why they're prisoners, but at least she still has Mèo! As weeks pass, Bé makes a friend her own age, Ngân, even without speaking, and Mèo becomes a solace for the women. 
   
   
   
  A violent uprising enables the imprisoned women and girls to escape. Can Bé and Mèo, and their newfound friend, Ngân, find their way to a safe place they can call home—even though the world is literally exploding all around them?

  The Painter and the President -...

  George Washington hates sitting for portraits, but it’s the late eighteenth century and cameras have yet to be invented. The president understands that a great portrait is the best way to be remembered by future generations. And who better to help secure Washington’s place in history than Gilbert Stuart, the most talented portrait painter of his day? For his part, Stuart knows that his own name will go down in history if he can paint an exceptional portrait of Washington. 
   
  Sarah Albee tells the story of how Gilbert Stuart’s most famous portrait—the image that appears on the one-dollar bill—came to be. Despite clashing personalities and several setbacks—including Washington’s swollen, aching mouth caused by ill-fitting false teeth—the painter managed to create a portrait of the president that endures to this day. 
   
  “The Painter and the President spotlights the relationship between America’s first president and Gilbert Stuart, one of the many artists who tried to capture his image on canvas. By the time of Washington’s presidency, Stuart had made a fine reputation as a portraitist. Although many of his subjects loved sitting for him, the laconic George Washington was not one of them. Sarah Albee and Stacy Innerst cleverly celebrate this relationship by looking at the many ways the painter tried in order to get a true portrait of America’s first president.”—Mary V. Thompson, research historian emerita, George Washington’s Mount Vernon

  From New York Times bestselling author Molly Knox Ostertag and critically acclaimed illustrator Xanthe Bouma comes an all-new Dungeons & Dragons graphic novel series! 
  Middle school is a dungeon… At least, that’s how Jess sees it. 
  Luckily, she and her best friend Olivia know how to escape into the sprawling worlds of their own imaginations. The two friends have always loved making up stories, first with little kid games of make-believe, and more recently with the fantasy roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons. When they play, Olivia runs the game as Dungeon Master and Jess is the solo party member, playing a take-no-prisoners, lone-wolf fighter of her own design named Sir Corius. 
  But when Olivia wants to add new players to their group, Jess finds herself struggling to share their game—and her best friend. Will their epic campaign withstand all this change, or has their adventure—and their friendship—finally come to an end?
