  READERS, BE WARNED!  
   
  This book is full of yawns. And not just your average yawns, either—there are seafaring yawns, giant yawns, miniature yawns, royal yawns, and even yawns with fire coming out of them. This book also contains three precious eggs, one confused  
  dragon, a very silly wizard, and the tiny ghost who haunts his hair. The ghost’s name is Butterscotch. The wizard’s name is Gumluck, and he is a bumbling noodlehead.

  Rain Remembers

  ""A satisfying, well-written, and authentic sequel highlighting the ways healing and self-love are ongoing processes."" —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  
  ""Comrie again proves skilled in discussing topics of harassment, mental health, and (via a subplot about a friend’s uncle) the deportation system, in verse as lyrically captivating as that of its predecessor. Rain and her friends remain sympathetic characters to connect with and root for."" —Horn Book Reviews 
  In the companion novel to the critically acclaimed Rain Rising, Rain must once again find the strength to rise above. 
  The start of the school year is bringing a lot of changes for Rain: New school. No Circle Group. No Dr. McCalla. No Miss Walia. No step team. And Xander, her older brother and superhero, is away at college. 
  Although everyone else seems okay with change, Rain struggles to open up to her new counselor, her mom, Umi, Alyssa, and even Xander, who seems to have forgotten all about her while away at college. But when an older boy starts giving Rain more attention than she asked for—will she be able to open up again before things go too far? 
  As Kirkus Reviews said of Rain Rising: ""A gorgeous debut: a necessary, cathartic, immersive healing experience.” Readers will be eager to follow Rain in this companion novel. Like the rain, she is both gentle and a force, finding strength to rise again. 
  Praise for Rain Rising: 
  ""A gorgeous debut: a necessary, cathartic, immersive healing experience.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
  “In this gut-wrenching verse novel by debut author Comrie, thirteen-year-old City Middle School student Rain Washington grapples with the aftermath of a violent racist attack. . . . Comrie sensitively tackles myriad topics, including colorism, fiscal scarcity, and structural racism, as well as their effects on mental health, in this impressive volume."" —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
  “This lovingly crafted novel-in-verse is a much-needed reminder that compassion, both for oneself and others, can help make the world right as rain.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) 
  “A searing exploration of the intricacies of racism, privilege, and self-worth within the confines of the Black community. Rain’s journey is one that includes an acceptance of all the pieces of her identity that make her whole and unique.”—ALA Booklist

  This undead collection contains: 
  1. Peter Green and the Unliving Academy  
  Fourteen-year-old Peter Green can’t remember how he died.  
   All he has are his pajamas, a silk tie, and a one-way bus ticket to Mrs. Battisworth’s Academy and Haven for Unliving Boys and Girls, a strange and spooky school for dead orphans like himself. 
  As Pete learns to fit in with his new supernatural schoolmates, he starts to discover his own uniquely undead abilities, and even begins enjoying his life after death...but he just can’t shake the feeling that he’s forgotten something (or somebody!) important. Somebody he left behind in the land of the living. Somebody he loved very much. 
  Somebody who’s in terrible danger.  
  2. Peter Green and the Skeleton Crew 
  Breaking through the veil that separates the dead from the living was just the beginning.? 
  Peter Green’s exploits in the world of the Unliving have earned him quite the reputation, but some are still questioning if he’s the real deal. In fact, he’s not too sure himself if his first great and successful adventure wasn’t just… a stroke of luck, perhaps?? 
  However, he won’t get any time to figure it out – his uncle needs him and two new friends to venture out on a mission. And not just any mission… Vicious pirates, killer, shape-shifting mermaids, and danger unlike any they’ve ever faced await Peter and his friends. Failure is NOT an option.? 
  3. Peter Green and the Desert Disaster  
  Harnessing true power requires a sacrifice. 
  Pete thinks he understands this... until he's forced to face the consequences. 
  Barely having survived his last adventure, it isn’t long before Peter Green is cast into peril once more. Thankfully, he seems to be getting a grasp of his “Other” abilities – his magic abilities – and it's starting to give him an edge in the battle against the victims of the otherworld. 
  But what happens when disaster strikes where it hurts him the most, and I placed his new best friends in great danger?

Zira and her grumpy older sister must find Rolo before the earthling catchers take him away. But along the way, they must face the challenges of growing up, loss, and empathy.

  In this beautifully written contemporary middle grade debut, an eighth grader's study of asexuality in science class leads her to understand her own asexual identity as she embarks on a journey toward self-discovery and self-advocacy. For readers of Alex Gino and Ashley Herring Blake. 
  There’s the part of me that doesn’t understand kissing or cuteness or attraction, and then there’s the part of me that feels so lonely. How do I make sense of those two parts? Maybe I’ll never make sense of them. 
  What do you do when there's a question inside you that feels so big, you don't know how to put words to it? How do you even begin to ask it? 
  Fourteen-year-old Lizzie is experiencing a lot of change: Her family had to move after the incident with their neighbor, leaving behind not only her beloved apple tree but what feels like her childhood along with it. Lizzie's brother is too busy for her in his first semester of college, and her friends are more interested in dating than dolls. It’s hard not to feel left behind, especially as she tries to explain the fact that she still has zero interest in boys, girls, or the baffling behavior known as “flirting.” 
  But just as Lizzie’s world feels like it's closing in, a class lesson on asexual reproduction in plants piques her curiosity, leading her to look up whether people can be asexual too—and suddenly, her world opens up. Lizzie finally finds an identity, a word for all her messy, unnamable feelings that feels like it fits, although she quickly realizes that a label isn’t enough if no one believes it’s real. 
  Accessible, moving, and compassionate, Just Lizzie effortlessly braids a nuanced individual journey of identity with the bittersweet angst of growing up, growing apart, and learning there are many ways to live and love. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
