THIS
ONE SUMMER by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki
Shelf
Awareness,
October 31, 2014: Book Brahmin: Kristen Radtke
“I've read the graphic novel This
One Summer by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki three times in the past
two days. The word ‘beautiful’ is woefully insignificant. Everyone should read
it immediately.”
MCPG ANIMAL FRIEND OF THE WEEK
Happy Halloween! Samantha’s pug Olivia
is going trick-or-treating as an octopug this year.
Olivia’s favorite book right now is The
Fun Book of Scary Stuff, by Emily Jenkins and illustrated by Hyewon Yum. In
this hilarious and slightly-scary book, a boy, his terrier, and his pug talk
about all the things that scare them – and come up with a clever way to face
their fears.

A
WONDERFUL YEAR by Nick Bruel
Publishers
Weekly, October 24, 2014 issue: 2nd STARRED
REVIEW!
« “Bad Kitty creator Bruel
alternates between goofy humor and gentle reflection in four seasonal episodes
starring an unnamed girl in a small town…Surefire readaloud laughs as well as
space for pondering.”
HUNTERS
OF THE GREAT FOREST by Dennis Nolan
Booklist, November 1, 2014 issue
“This is sure to be popular with fans of
David Wiesner’s Mr. Wuffles (2013) and Flotsam(2006),
as well as Aaron Becker’s Journey (2013); be sure to provide
plenty of time to peruse the glorious mixed-media art.”
“Equipped with only a few tools, the
travelers have soon bravely penetrated a wilderness of colossal mushrooms,
gigantic toads and angry chipmunks the size of houses. And then—oh, joy!—they
find what they seek in this humorous, tender story.”
KATIE
FRIEDMAN GIVES UP TEXTING by Tommy Greenwald, illus. by J.P. Coovert
Kirkus, November 15, 2014
“Greenwald explores the complications
inherent in relying upon technology as a substitute for genuine social
engagement, comically highlighting both the pitfalls and the benefits of modern
communication practices.”
KID
SHERIFF AND THE TERRIBLE TOADS by Bob Shea, illus. by Lane Smith
Shelf
Awareness,
October 31, 2014
“Children will love being in on the joke
and will lap up the dinosaur trivia, as the Toad brothers grow increasingly
upset at prehistoric critters getting credit for their crimes. In a brilliant
spread, the boy (and tortoise) measures the jail door to figure out how to
corral the giant criminals, while the bow-legged brothers' legs frame the
scene. Yee-haw!”
Mysterious
Editor Shows Off Her Ninja Moves!
A very sneaky ninja came to our
Macmillan Halloween party today! She is showing off a spread from Arree Chung’s
awesome Ninja!, a story about a little boy creeping through his
house on a secret ninja mission.
« “High-flying fun.” –Kirkus,
starred review
« “Readers riding high on the ninja
craze will find this treatise on how to be a successful one quite
enlightening…Laugh-out-loud fun." –School Library Journal, starred

AND
AWAY WE GO! by Migy
Booklist, November 1, 2014 issue
“In this airborne version of the
folktale “The Mitten,” Mr. Fox receives a hot-air balloon he hopes will fly him
to the moon…Migy’s U.S. debut features a slightly retro New York City
resplendent in pinks and greens, full of scenes suggesting prominent works of
art.”
EINSTEIN
THE CLASS HAMSTER AND THE VERY REAL GAME SHOW by Janet Tashjian, illus. by Jake
Tashjian
Booklist, November 1, 2014 issue
“Einstein finally gets his chance to
step in and host a real live game show. But is he up to the challenge? Cute,
pop-eyed cartoon illustrations add to the book’s sense of silliness….An
enticing mix of information and fun that is sure to please.”
HOW

The
LA Times,
October 30, 2014: SCAN ATTACHED
“Deft storytelling […] Magoon's fifth
novel is a stark yet captivating read that is both relevant and necessary.”

RULE
OF THREE: Fight for Power by Eric Walters
Kirkus, November 14, 2014
“Less about physical survival, in
this sequel, the conflict concerns the community's morals and soul…The
philosophical questions and killer ending will prime readers for the next
book.”
