  If you had to name a statue, any statue, odds are good you’d mention the Statue of Liberty. Have you seen her?  
    
  She’s in New York.  
  She’s holding a torch.  
  And she’s in mid-stride, moving forward.  
  But why?  
    
  In this fascinating, fun take on nonfiction, Dave Eggers investigates a seemingly small trait of America’s most emblematic statue. What they find is about more than history, more than art. What they find in the Statue of Liberty’s right foot is the powerful message of acceptance that is essential to an entire country’s creation.

  A sweetly spooky ghost story about a Cuban American boy who befriends a pair of spirits and tries to break the curse on his island home . . . only to discover a seemingly lost piece of his family’s history in the process. This new middle grade standalone mystery from the author of the Muse Squad series is perfect for fans of Doll Bones and The Girl and the Ghost! 
  Frank Fernandez’s family never stays in one place for long. His parents renovate unusual buildings and turn them into homes, which means the family moves—a lot. This makes it hard for bookish Frank to make friends. So when his parents announce they’re moving to Spectacle Key, Florida, to live in a lighthouse—this time for good!—Frank is thrilled. 
  But Spectacle Key isn’t the perfect forever home they'd imagined. The lighthouse is falling apart. There are knocks on the door—but no one is there—and mysterious sighs and sniffles from nowhere. There’s even a creepy doll that seems to move on its own. Could Spectacle Key be haunted? 
  Then one day while exploring, Frank meets a girl in old-fashioned clothes, with no memory of who she is. What she does know, though, is that the island is under a curse—and she needs Frank’s help to figure out how to lift it. But what if learning the truth about Spectacle Key means losing the first real friend he’s ever had?

  Patsy Noakes’s life is rubbish. All she's got are her pet Guinea Pig Freddy, her best friend Timmy and her dance classes after school.…and she hates school because of horrible Brittani, but maybe things are about to change! 
  During a scary, freak thunderstorm Patsy discovers something unbelievable (and very strange). Can her favourite sweets really be magic? Sweets can’t grant wishes, can they? It seems to Patsy that they just might, when she wishes for something and it comes true. 
  Patsy’s going to have fun testing her theory out! Her best friend Timmy will definitely want to ‘help’, with a few wishes of his own. The first thing Patsy’s going to wish for is to stop horrible Brittani from calling her ‘Cow Pat’ every day at school. That’s when the fun really starts! 
  Can wishes really come true? Would it really be that brilliant to have what you wished for anyway? Join Patsy and Timmy to find out in this tale of friendship and school days. 
  Narrated by the author. From the author of the 5 star rated children's novel On My Back Paws.
