Summary

The big day is coming—but will her wild wish come true? “Fans of Clementine, Judy Moody, and Ramona will also want to unwrap this gem of a story.” —School Library Journal 
 
Sophie Hartley is almost sure that her dad said okay when she asked for a baby gorilla for her birthday. Soon the kids at school want to know every detail about the gorilla, and dealing with her enthusiastic classmates gets harder as the big day approaches. When teenage sister Nora leaves their shared bedroom for her own space in the attic, and close friend Jenna shows signs of becoming a shrieker, Sophie finds it hard to remain optimistic. Maybe painting her windowsills purple will help. And maybe she’ll get the perfect present! 
 
Funny and believable, the story of a big birthday will please Sophie fans old and new.

    The Fourth of July is no day for danger but that’s just what’s in store for the Bean Farm gang in Freddy and the Perilous Adventure. It all seemed so strange and exciting at first: Emma and Alice, Bean Farm’s favorite ducks, and the intrepid Freddy, off for a glorious balloon ride to celebrate the nation’s birthday. Of course, if Freddy and Emma and Alice and the other denizens of Bean Farm had known what was really in store for the brave aerialists in the Balloon Ascension they might just have remained quietly at home, listening to Freddy’s poetry or to the boastful crowing of Charles.

Before it’s all over with, he decides it’s better just to fall down on his bedroll, boots and all . . .   This beautifully illustrated, amusing story with its anticipatory suspense will delight kids and grown-ups alike, who’ll enjoy the nightly entourage of desert animals who play a key role—that is, until Slim Jim Watkins learns a thing or two and starts to sleep with his boots on!   “An amusing yarn . . .

    The Gaelic footballer who's won nearly every prize in the game:
    
    Including 5 All-Irelands & 8 All-Stars.
    'You need a boot to kick and hands and shoulders to mark
    
    your opposition. But without a sharp brain, you'll never make
    
    it as a Kerry footballer.'
    Follow Colm from his days as a tiny, freckle-faced kid – the youngest of seven in a GAA-mad family from Killarney – all the way to Croke Park, where he won five All-Ireland titles. This is the story of how a boy who everyone said wasn't big enough or strong enough to wear the green and gold jersey of Kerry became one of the greatest Gaelic footballers of all time.
