FORT by Cynthia DeFelice
Kirkus, February 1, 2015 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
**CONFIDENTIAL TO THE TRADE UNTIL January 20, 2015**
« “[The] plan to defend the fort and protect Gerard (and even provide some justice) leads to a glorious, feel-good climax…Upbeat, engaging and satisfying; altogether a very fine book, especially for boys looking for a bit of believable, achievable adventure.”
MAX’S MATH by Kate Banks, illus. by Boris Kulikov
Publishers Weekly, January 9, 2015 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “Kulikov’s visual flights of fancy will set readers’ imaginations soaring as Banks slyly introduces a bevy of math concepts.”
TUCK EVERLASTING by Natalie Babbitt
Publishers Weekly, January 15, 2015: “Tuck Springs Eternal: Natalie Babbitt’s Novel at 40”
“Of Tuck’s 40-year lifespan, Babbitt says, ‘I’m astonished by it, but I like the thought that it’s lasted this long. I’m dazzled by the teachers who know how to use it as an answer to a question we have never had the courage to ask.’”

I SEE A PATTERN HERE by Bruce Goldstone
Booklist, February 1, 2015 issue

Kirkus, February 1, 2015 issue

WEIRD AND WILD ANIMAL FACTS by Jessica Loy
Kirkus, February 1, 2015 issue
**CONFIDENTIAL TO THE TRADE UNTIL January 20, 2015**
“There are plenty of strange animals in the world, with equally strange characteristics. But Loy doesn't focus on them. Instead, she takes a look at the kangaroo, the hippopotamus, the flamingo and others that at first appear fairly familiar, and she surprises readers by uncovering traits that they may not know.”
