  A boy and his robot take to the stage in the series that’s “fast-paced and full of Amelia Bedelia–style gags” from the New York Times–bestselling author (School Library Journal). 
   
  Logan auditions for the school play and is chosen for the role of Chipmunk Number Three, but unfortunately, Java, Logan’s robot cousin, doesn’t get a part, which means he and Logan won’t be hanging out together every day after school. Logan’s excited to have something to himself and starts spending more and more time with his new friends. 
   
  Now with so much time on his hands, Java is determined to make some new friends, too—the dishwasher, the electric mixer, the refrigerator . . . But his favorite new friend is Spike, the voice activated program on Mrs. Applebaum’s cell phone.  
   
  While Java can’t be in the play, he ends up helping out with building the sets, and almost blows his cover! But when Logan freezes and forgets his lines on stage, and Java (who has memorized them in an instant) feeds them to him the Cyrano-style, it’s the android who saves the day. After all, that’s what friends are for. 
   
  Internationally bestselling author Nancy Krulik and her incredibly talented daughter, Amanda Burwasser, spin hilarious high jinks in the fourth book in the Project Droid series, which combines the literalness of Amelia Bedelia with a wacky modern edge, making for hours of laughter. And the fun continues with an activity in the back!

  “Adventure, magic, love, and knights of the realm collide in this delightfully witty tale . . . this romp through the land of King Arthur is a gem.” —School Library Journal   Luneta is tired of living in dull Orkney with her mother and father (who happens to be the most boring knight of King Arthur’s Round Table). She prides herself on always getting what she wants, so when the opportunity presents itself, she jumps at the chance to stay at a family friend’s castle near Camelot. Her handsome cousin, Sir Ywain—a young knight seeking adventure—arrives just in time to escort her to King Arthur’s court.   Along the way they pick up a knight-turned-fool named Rhience, whose wit and audacity set many a puffed-up personality in its place. Before arriving at Lady Laudine’s castle, the trio stops at Camelot, where they hear the story of the Storm Stone, a magical object deep in the forest that soon sweeps everyone into a web of love, betrayal, and more than a bit of magic.   Filled with broken promises, powerful enchantresses, unconventional sword fights, fierce and friendly lionesses, mysterious knights, and damsels in and out of distress, The Lioness and Her Knight proves itself as witty and adventuresome as the rest of Gerald Morris’s tales from King Arthur’s court.   “Morris balances farce and drama with ease, and his main characters are memorable, sympathetic, and frequently hilarious.” —The Horn Book   “Clever, funny and wise . . . Once again, Morris brilliantly re-animates an old story, keeping readers engaged while gently, genially urging them to ruminate over the truths at its heart.” —Kirkus Reviews

  'Twas the night before Christmas . . . but there's no snow and Santa wears a Hawaiian malo around his waist! The latest in Pelican's Night Before Christmas series, this island tale is sure to enchant readers with its tropical twist on the Clement C. Moore classic. Hawaiian Night Before Christmas written and illustrated by Carolyn Macy, is a delightful book for children of all ages.It's Christmas Eve and Mama, Papa, and the keiki (children) have decorated a coconut tree, placed the lauhala (woven baskets) on the porch, and left a snack for Santa, or Kanakaloka, to enjoy. The book details Hawaiian Christmas traditions as the story unfolds. Not a gecko was stirring as Santa Claus comes out of the night, not in a wintry sleigh but an outrigger canoe pulled by eight strong sea turtles. Complete with a glossary of Hawaiian terms, this vividly illustrated celebration of Christmas Hawaiian-style is an enchanting journey to a lush tropical paradise just in time for the Holiday gift-giving and gift-guide season.
