Vivi Conway and The Haunted Quest: 2

Lizzie Huxley-Jones

Sinopse

The gang have been hunting for Isabella for weeks, but there's no sign of her in the Unlands. They can't even find the portal through to Annwn. And Vivi hasn't told the rest of the gang about what happened with the villainous Arawn appearing in her dream. She definitely hasn't mentioned how scared she is to fall asleep, in case he reappears. Even Nimue has been quiet. As much as Vivi wants to hope that it's all over, part of her knows it isn't...

On Dara's birthday, an invitation comes from their cousin Meredith; come stay on Bardsey Island for a week, stay at their cottage, and celebrate Halloween. And bring all your friends! Vivi can't refuse an opportunity to go back to Wales, and her friends are immediately excited for star-spotting, foraging, hiking, and just general adventuring. Little do they know, they are about to be thrown into a huge high-stakes treasure hunt, with the fate of the world resting on them (again). And Vivi's feeling that Arawn is just waiting to reappear is only growing stronger...

Knots in My Yo-Yo String

Jerry Spinelli

Newbery medalist Jerry Spinelli has penned his early autobiography with all the warmth, humor, and drama of his bestselling fiction. 
 
 
 
"A master of those embarrassing, gloppy, painful, and suddenly wonderful things that happen on the razor's edge between childhood and full-fledged adolescence" —The Washington Post 
 
 
 
From first memories through high school, including first kiss, first punch, first trip to the principal's office, and first humiliating sports experience, this is not merely an account of a highly unusual childhood. Rather, like Spinelli's fiction, its appeal lies in the  accessibility and universality of his life. Entertaining and fast-paced, this memoir is a must-have for Spinelli fans of all ages.

The Great Vandal Scandal

Emily Ecton

The Secret Life of Pets meets Spy School as furry friends come out of retirement to do some secret spy work in this hilarious companion to The Great Pet Heist and The Great Ghost Hoax. 
 
 
 
Big plans are afoot! Butterbean is going to become a therapist (unless maybe she means a therapy dog?). The white cat is going to do a commercial for caviar-flavored pet treats. And Wallace is moving into a great new apartment. But these plans don't include a group of rowdy raccoons taking over the loading dock and throwing the building into turmoil. 
 
 
 
Now residents from the whole building are coming to the Strathmore Seven for help—from Second Floor Biscuit, a Yorkie with an unfortunate haircut who faces eviction for barking at the intruders, to the loading dock rats, who are feeling intimidated and upset. And even worse, Madison gets blamed for the vandalism! It's up to Butterbean and the rest of the pets to stop the raccoons and restore their friend's reputation—before it's too late.
