Cleopatra In Space: Target Practice By Mike Maihack When a young Cleopatra (yes, THAT Cleopatra) finds a mysterious tablet that zaps her to the far, REALLY far future, she learns of an ancient prophecy that says she is destined to save the galaxy from the tyrannical rule of the evil Xaius Octavian. She enrolls in Yasiro Acade- my, a high-tech school with classes like algebra, biology, and alien languages (which Cleo could do without), and combat training (which is more Cleo's style). With help from her teacher Khensu, Cleo learns what it takes to be a great leader, while trying to figure out how she's going to get her homework done, make friends, and avoid detention!

When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods, where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.

Bethany cant let anyone else learn her secret, so Owen makes her a deal: All she has to do is take him into a book in Owens favorite Kiel Gnomenfoot series, and hell never say a word.

The Girl I used To Be By April Henry

Olivia was only three years old when her mother was killed and

everyone suspected her father of murder. But his whereabouts

remained a mystery. Fast forward fourteen years. New evidence

now proves Olivia's father was actually murdered on the same

fateful day her mother died. That means there's a killer still at

large. Now Olivia is determined to uncover who that might be.

But can she do that before the killer tracks her down first?

When By Victoria Laurie Maddie doesn't have a choice. The forehead of every person she sees is marked by the shadowy digits of their deathdate. Her unique, innate skill often feels more like a curse than a gift, and Maddie grudgingly puts it to use identifying deathdates for the paying customers her mother reels in. It seems like a straightfor-ward way to help support her family-until one client's young son goes missing on the exact date Maddie has pinpointed, and she gets pulled into a homicide investigation that turns her world upside down.

Other kids have their own word to describe him, but Zinkoff is

too busy to hear it. He doesn't know he's not like everyone else.

And one winter night, Zinkoff's differences show that any name

can someday become "hero."

On Day One, twelve-year-old Malú inadvertently upsets Posada Middle School’s queen bee, violates the school’s dress code with her punk rock look, and disappoints her college-professor mom in the process. Her dad, who now lives a thousand miles away, says things will get better as long as she remembers the first rule of punk: be yourself. The real Malú loves rock music, skateboarding, zines, and Soyrizo (hold the cilantro, please). And when she assembles a group of like-minded misfits at school and starts a band, Malú finally begins to feel at home. She'll do anything to preserve this, which includes standing up to an anti-punk school administration to fight for her right to express herself!

En el primer día, Malú, de doce años, molesta inadvertidamente a la abeja reina de la Escuela Intermedia Posada, viola el código de vestimenta de la escuela con su aspecto punk rock y decepciona a su madre profesora universitaria en el proceso. Su padre, que ahora vive a miles de kilómetros de distancia, dice que las cosas mejorarán mientras recuerde la primera regla del punk: sé tú mismo. Al verdadero Malú le encanta la música rock, el skate, los zines y el Soyrizo (sostenga el cilantro, por favor). Y cuando reúne a un grupo de inadaptados de ideas afines en la escuela y comienza una banda, Malú finalmente comienza a sentirse como en casa. ¡Hará cualquier cosa para preservar esto, lo que incluye enfrentarse a una administración escolar antipunk para luchar por su derecho a expresarse!
