The Magician's Elephant
In her eagerly awaited new novel, DiCamillo--the Newbery Medal-winning author of "The Tale of Despereaux"--conjures a haunting fable about trusting the unexpected and making the impossible come true.
This Book is not Good for You
Take two adventurous outcasts, add one evil organization intent on discovering the secret of immortality, a pinch of puzzles, a dash of clues, and a deliciously evil dessert chef and the result is a recipe for disaster.
Toby Alone
Translated into 22 languages, this imaginative debut is a gripping and witty eco-adventure set on a Lilliputian world where a tree is under threat and a boy hunted by his own people must protect his father's secrets. Contains some illustrations.
Ways to Live Forever
Living through the last stages of leukemia, Sam wants to know facts about UFO’s, ghosts, airships, what it feels like to kiss a girl... Sam is full of questions that nobody wants to answer, and he doesn’t have much time left. This moving and ultimately uplifting account of a boy’s final months is impossible to read with a dry eye. Written as a collection of journal entries, lists, questions, and photographs, Sam’s story answers one question on its own: What matters most when every minute counts?
