  After writing his first book, Oliver is kind of a celebrity around school. But when he gets caught in a cafeteria catastrophe involving some seriously explosive cherry cobbler, he quickly goes from being the “funny science kid” to one of the “Epic Barf kids.” Oliver needs to restore his reputation—and winning the Science Fair seems like the perfect way for everyone to forget about the whole barf thing.  
   
  There’s just one obstacle: Ana Lía Quintero, who wins every year. 
   
  Luckily, Oliver has the help of his geoscientist aunt (even though she’s a little, um, quirky). To have any chance of defeating his archnemesis, he’ll have to learn all about volcano burps and bacteria farts, how Earth’s layers are basically like a boba tea drink, and how school cliques and the solar system have a lot in common. 
   
  With laugh-out-loud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe: Volcanoes Are Hot! follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.

  Bobby Rooster often watched his favorite superheroes on T.V. He liked to watch Superman, Batman, and Spiderman. But his favorite superhero was Green Lantern. He always admired the powerful ring that John wore. Here he was again watching his favorite episode of Superman and enjoying himself. ‘Oh, if I were a superhero’ he pondered. ‘I would help everyone and ensure that the town of Chickenville was 99.9% safe.’ The constant thoughts rang through his mind. He knew if he were given such an opportunity it would be his best wish come true. 
  He then looked at the time and realized it was geared toward 11:00 a.m. It was a Tuesday. Bobby Rooster somewhat liked Tuesdays because he had no work, but he often just did fun activities. Sometimes he went to the park, other times the movies, and sometimes he went and visited Mama. Today, he wondered what he should do seeing it was not yet twelve in the afternoon. He decided to go for a quick walk around the block. His apartment was not that far from the park. At the park, he could do fun activities but his best friend Stuart the rabbit was still out of town, so he decided against going to the park today. But he changed his mind a few moments later.

  A moving story told in visual art and fiction about gentrification, aging in place, grief, and vulnerable Chinese Canadian elders
  		 
  Bringing together ink artwork and fiction, Denison Avenue by Daniel Innes (illustrations) and Christina Wong (text) follows the elderly Wong Cho Sum, who, living in Toronto’s gentrifying Chinatown–Kensington Market, begins to collect bottles and cans after the sudden loss of her husband as a way to fill her days and keep grief and loneliness at bay. In her long walks around the city, Cho Sum meets new friends, confronts classism and racism, and learns how to build a life as a widow in a neighborhood that is being destroyed and rebuilt, leaving elders like her behind.
  		 
  A poignant meditation on loss, aging, gentrification, and the barriers that Chinese Canadian seniors experience in big cities, Denison Avenue beautifully combines visual art, fiction, and the endangered Toisan dialect to create a book that is truly unforgettable.
