    1. BOOK: Wonderstruck

      Average rating: 4/5

      BOOK: Wonderstruck

      By Brian Selznick

      SCHOLASTIC INC | September 13, 2011 | Hardcover
      From Brian Selznick, the creator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the Caldecott Medal winner, comes another breathtaking tour de force.

      Set fifty years apart, two independent stories - Ben''s told in words and Rose''s in pictures - weave back and forth with mesmerizing symmetry. How they unfold and ultimately intertwine will surprise you, challenge you, and leave you breathless with wonder.

      Ever since his mom died, Ben feels lost.
      At home with her father, Rose feels alone.
      He is searching for someone, but he is not sure who.
      She is searching for something, but she is not sure what.
      When Ben finds a mysterious clue hidden in his mom''s room,
      When a tempting opportunity presents itself to Rose,
      Both children risk everything to find what''s missing.

      With over 460 pages of original drawings and playing with the form he invented in his trailblazing debut novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick once again sails into uncharted territory and takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey. Rich, complex, affecting, and beautiful, Wonderstruck is a stunning achievement from a uniquely gifted artist and visionary.

    2. BOOK: Wildwood: The Wildwood Chronicles, Book I

      Average rating: 4/5

      BOOK: Wildwood: The Wildwood Chronicles, Book I

      By Colin Meloy

      HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | August 22, 2011 | Hardcover

      Prue McKeel?s life is ordinary. At least until her baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows. And then things get really weird.

      You see, on every map of Portland, Oregon, there is a big splotch of green on the edge of the city labeled ?I.W.? This stands for ?Impassable Wilderness.? No one?s ever gone in?or at least returned to tell of it.

      And this is where the crows take her brother.

      So begins an adventure that will take Prue and her friend Curtis deep into the Impassable Wilderness. There they uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval, a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much bigger as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness.

      A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.

      Wildwood is a spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic that juxtaposes the thrill of a secret world and modern city life. Original and fresh yet steeped in classic fantasy, this is a novel that could have only come from the imagination of Colin Meloy, celebrated for his inventive and fantastic storytelling as the lead singer of the Decemberists. With dozens of intricate and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Carson Ellis, Wildwood is truly a new classic for the twenty-first century.

Determined to succeed, Leonardo sets himself to training and research. Finally, he finds a nervous little boy, and scares the tuna salad out of him! But scaring people isn''t quite as satisfying as he thought it would be. Leonardo realizes that he might be a terrible, awful monster-but he could be a really good friend.

      BOOK: The Man in the Moon

      By William Joyce

      Atheneum Books For Young Readers | September 6, 2011 | Picture Books
      Up there in the sky.

      Don't you see him?

      No, not the moon.

      The Man in the Moon.

      He wasn't always a man.

      Nor was he always on the moon.

      He was once a child.

      Like you.

      Until a battle,

      a shooting star,

      and a lost balloon

      sent him on a quest.

      Meet the very first guardian of childhood.

      MiM, the Man in the Moon.

      Average rating: 4/5

      BOOK: All These Things I've Done

      By Gabrielle Zevin

      Farrar, Straus And Giroux | September 30, 2011 | Hardcover
      In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city''s most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.''s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she''s to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight -- at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.

      BOOK: Tumford the Terrible

      By Nancy Tillman

      Feiwel & Friends | May 24, 2011 | Picture Books
      Tumford isn't really a terrible cat. He just has a way of finding mischief-tracking dirt into the house, knocking over breakable things, and disrupting fancy parties. But even though he feels bad, he has a hard time saying, "I'm sorry." Will the fact that his owners love him, no matter what, help Tummy say the magic words?
