Smashie McPerterBy N. Griffin

Illustrated by Kate HindleyWho stole the hamster from Room 11?

The day the hamster disappeared from Smashie McPerter’s class began like any other day. Well, except for the fact that the teacher

was out sick and Smashie’s class was stuck with Mr. Carper, the worst substitute in the world. And except for the mysterious business

with the glue. As the peaceable and productive days of the class of Room 11 turn into paranoia-fueled chaos, as natural suspects

produce natural alibis and motives remain unmotivated, Smashie and her best friend, Dontel, are forced to the limits of their parlor-room

detecting to set things right.

A classic tale by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo, America’s beloved storyteller,

featuring black-and-white illustrations and a refreshed cover by Bagram Ibatoulline.

Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he

was owned by a girl named Abilene, who adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost...

Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net

of a fisherman, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way, we are shown a miracle – that even a heart of the

most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

A classic tale by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo, America s beloved storyteller.

When a fortuneteller’s tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus

Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can

he find her? The fortuneteller’s mysterious answer (an elephant! An elephant will lead him there!) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible,

that you will hardly dare to believe it’s true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka,

here is a dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be narrated by Newbery Medalist Kate

DiCamillo. In this timeless fable, she evokes the largest of themes - hope and belonging, desire and

compassion - with the lightness of a magician’s touch. With dreamlike illustrations and a new cover

by Yoko Tanaka.
