Written by Megan McDonald Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds
Megan McDonald’s story as featured in Judy’s uber-cool movie is back in a must have edition illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. RARE!
Roar! It’s not bad enough that Mom and Dad are heading to California, leaving Judy and Stink with Aunt Awful (er, Opal), but now two of Judy’s friends are going Splitsville, too. Just when it looks like her summer is going to be BOR-ing- eureka! Judy comes up with the most thrill-a-delic plan ever. Get ready for a race involving tightrope walking, Scream Monster riding, and way more! Add in a treasure hunt for Judy’s teacher, a midnight stakeout, a runaway ice cream truck, and a dash of Bigfoot, and what have you got? The Judy Moodiest summer ever!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again.
Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce Illustrated by Joe Berger
Buckle your seatbelt for the first-ever follow up to Ian Fleming’s only children’s story.
When the Tooting family finds an old engine and fits it to their camper van, they have no idea what kind of adventure lies ahead. The engine used to belong to an extraordinary car . . . and it wants its bodywork back! But as the Tootings hurtle across the world rebuilding the original Chitty, a sinister baddie is on their trail one who will stop at nothing to get the magnificent car for himself.
Fueled by wry humor , this much-anticipated sequel to the children’s classic by Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond featuring a contemporary family and a camper van with a mind of its own is driven by best-selling, award-winning author Frank Cottrell Boyce and revved up by Joe Bergers black-and-white illustrations.
Ruby Redfort Look Into My Eyes
Written by Lauren Child Illustrated by Lauren Child
Hey, buster! Crack open this new series starring Ruby Redfort Clarice Bean’s favorite all-action heroine and you will literally be on the edge of your wits.
Everyone knows that Clarice Bean is exceptionordinarily keen on the Ruby Redfort books. Now in her own starring role, Ruby, a genius code-cracker and daring detective, along with her sidekick butler, Hitch, work for a secret crime-busting organization called Spectrum. Ruby gets into lots of scrapes with evil villains, but she’s always ice-cool in a crisis.

Only the most exciting new middle-grade series since, like, ever.

My granddaughter will be reading Beverly Cleary’s Ramona Quimby at age 8 plus all the other Ramona books and the Ralph Mouse books too. She recently discovered one of her Mom’s favorite authors when my daughter was a child. My daughter was often discovered reading by flashlight after being given the warning “Lights out in 10 minutes.” Now it’s my bookworm granddaughter who is found using her crank style camping lantern after her “last 10 minutes to lights out” warning has expired. 🙂
