Un maestro increíble está a punto de cambiar la vida de siete estudiantes muy diferentes.

Comienza un nuevo año en la Escuela Snow Hill, y siete estudiantes se reúnen en la clase de quinto grado del Sr. Terupt.

Están... Jessica, la chica nueva, inteligente y perspicaz, a quien le cuesta encajar; Alexia, tu amiga un segundo, tu enemiga al siguiente; Peter, el bromista y alborotador de la clase; Luke, el cerebrito; Danielle, que nunca se defiende; la tímida Anna, cuya situación familiar la convierte en una paria; y Jeffrey, que odia la escuela.

No tienen mucho en común, y nunca se han llevado bien. No hasta que llega un profesor nuevo y los ayuda a encontrar fuerza dentro de sí mismos y en los demás. Pero cuando el Sr. Terupt sufre un terrible accidente, ¿podrán sus estudiantes recordar las lecciones que les enseñaron? ¿O sus vidas volverán a ser como antes, antes de quinto grado y antes del Sr. Terupt?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Seven students are about to have their lives changed by one amazing teacher in this school story sequel filled with unique characters every reader can relate to.

Spanish-language readers adapting to new school settings or pacing themselves across different academic pursuits will find this compact novel a treat that wraps up with a happy and comforting ending.-SLJ

It's the start of a new year at Snow Hill School, and seven students find themselves thrown together in Mr. Terupt's fifth grade class. There's . . . Jessica, the new girl, smart and perceptive, who's having a hard time fitting in; Alexia, a bully, your friend one second, your enemy the next; Peter, class prankster and troublemaker; Luke, the brain; Danielle, who never stands up for herself; shy Anna, whose home situation makes her an outcast; and Jeffrey, who hates school.

They don't have much in common, and they've never gotten along. Not until a certain new teacher arrives and helps them to find strength inside themselves--and in each other. But when Mr. Terupt suffers a terrible accident, will his students be able to remember the lessons he taught them? Or will their lives go back to the way they were before--before fifth grade and before Mr. Terupt?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR

The second installment in Rick Riordan's blockbuster Norse mythology series has Magnus and friends helping the god of thunder find his missing weapon before all Muspellheim breaks loose.

Thor's hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon--the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands.

If Magnus Chase and his friends can't retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn.

Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki--and the price he wants is very high.

From New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author Margi Preus, a gripping middle-grade fantasy about a girl who must save the children of her world from being Windswept.

In Tag's world, children are disappearing. "Youngers" who venture Outside are windswept--vanishing in the swirling snow--Tag's sisters among them. Many have tried to find the lost children; all have failed. And since the Other Times, the Powers That Be seem intent on keeping it that way.

Little remains from those times: snippets of songs, heaps of plastic trash, and a few banned texts--including a book of fairy tales.

An unlikely crew of Youngers join forces--Boots, who can climb anything, Ant, who will eat anything, Ren, who will say anything, and Tag, who doesn't appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills, the fairy tales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept "that's impossible," they set off to rescue their windswept siblings in this spellbinding fantasy.

Includes a map and black-and-white illustrations by award-winning artist Armando Veve

Ava's got brains, bravery . . . and a party-hat-wearing magic chicken. Good thing, too, because she'll need all three.

When eleven-year-old inventor Ava takes a wrong turn after school, she stumbles into a mysterious building that just happens to be run by an evil (and deeply odd) scientist named Dr. Heynis. Before she can say "bacon and cheese," Ava is locked in a cage, surrounded by strange traps, creepy clones, and a whole lot of questionable artifacts.

To escape, she'll have to outwit Dr. Heynis and his trio of not-so-bright henchmen using nothing but her imagination, her emergency BLT sandwich, and the lessons her parents taught her. Luckily, she is not alone. With the help of two new friends and Rocco, a magic chicken with great dance moves, Ava tries to make her way out of the facility filled with riddles, laser traps, time machines, a vicious puppy, and the occasional shark pool.

Fast-paced, hilarious, and packed with imagination, Trapped is the debut novel from eleven-year-old Bella Olson. Along the way, readers will find valuable lessons that parents will love and kids will enjoy--like how bravery doesn't always mean being fearless, how doing things while scared still counts, and best of all that weird is the new cool.

Ava's not just fighting for her freedom. She is discovering that being herself, quirks and all, is the most powerful escape of all.

A Caldecott Honor Book

"Owen is everychild." --Booklist (starred review)

Owen's fuzzy yellow blanket goes where he goes, even when others think he is too old for it. Will Owen's blanket go to school? A classic, evergreen, Caldecott Honor and Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor picture book about comfort and compromise from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Henkes.

"Owen had a fuzzy yellow blanket. He'd had it since he was a baby. He loved it with all his heart."

Owen's blanket is his favorite possession. Everywhere he goes, Fuzzy goes with him. Upstairs, downstairs, in-between. Inside, outside, upside down. Everywhere! When Owen is about to start school, their neighbor offers advice to Owen's parents about how to get rid of Fuzzy, but Owen foils each attempt. Then his mother comes up with the perfect plan that makes everyone happy.

Any child who relies on a comfort object will instantly relate to Owen. This is a story about compromise that speaks both to those not yet ready to let go and those who have moved on. The repetitive, rhythmic text is perfect for reading aloud and story times, and the artwork, in Owen and in all of Kevin Henkes's mouse books, is playful, funny, inviting, and timeless. School Library Journal says, "Most children have a beloved possession that adults expect them to give up, and Owen is sure to become their champion."

Kevin Henkes is a #1 New York Times bestselling author who has been awarded the Caldecott Medal for Kitten's First Full Moon, two Caldecott Honors, two Newbery Honors, two Geisel Honors, the Children's Literature Lecture Award, and Children's Literature Legacy Award, among numerous other honors.
