When stolen artifacts magically appear in their aunt's closet, cousins Jorge, Camila, and Siggy travel back in time to 1930 New York City to clear her name before history is irreparably altered in this companion to the "spellbinding" (School Library Journal, starred review) Cousins in the Time of Magic.

Cousins Jorge, Camila, and Siggy never imagined that dusty old puppets and a mysterious book would launch them into a time-traveling adventure. But when they discover their aunt has treasures belonging to Pura Belpré, the trailblazing Latina librarian and storyteller, they're transported back to 1930s New York City. Their mission? Race against time to return Pura's puppets and a signed first edition of her book, proving their aunt isn't a thief.

The past is full of danger, though. A powerful woman will stop at nothing to steal the book, the cousins' nosy neighbor is snooping around, and the hardship of the Great Depression is all around them. Luckily Jorge, Camila, and Siggy meet Antonia, a fierce Puerto Rican girl fighting injustice against her community.

The cousins will need courage, quick thinking, and a little help from history to protect Pura Belpré's legacy, clear their aunt's name, and make it back home. Can they pull it off before time runs out?

It's a totally zany story with some of the silliest illustrations to appear in many seasons--which is to say that Aliens Love Underpants will be a surefire hit among toddlers and beginning readers. When little aliens fly down to Earth, they don't come to visit because they want to meet the Earthlings. They simply want to steal everybody's underpants! They like them large or small, they like them red or green--and they like them in all other sizes and colors, too. They think that Mom's pink, frilly panties are a perfect place to hide. And Grandpa's woolly long johns make a super-whizzy slide! The text is in verse, the illustrations are big and bright, and kids who open this book will giggle from first page to last.

Ruby the little fox uses a hammer and other tools to overcome anxiety and anger during a school group project in this heartfelt sequel to Ruby's Tools for Making Friends by New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Apryl Stott.

Ruby has special tools to help her at school: a tape measure to count her breaths when she's feeling overwhelmed; safety goggles to remind her to see things in a different way; and pliers to remind her to be flexible. But when Ruby's friends start bossing her around during a group project, she finds that her tools aren't working!

Instead, Ruby loses her cool and makes a mess of their project and the classroom. Ruby instantly wishes she could take back her messy mistake, but she's too upset. At home, Pop Pop tells Ruby that anger is a normal emotion and encourages her to find a positive activity to let the emotion out the next time she feels angry. He even gifts her a hammer for her tool belt, as a reminder of what she's learned.

Armed with her new tool, Ruby is determined to set things right at school. But she's about to discover that even the messiest mistake can be fixed with a little help from friends.

Stitch Head returns in another fantastically strange and heartfelt adventure--this time, he and his friends are drawn to the high seas by a pirate's legend!

You haven't truly seen the world . . . until you've seen it through a pirate's eye.

So claims Dash Flashpowder, a legendary pirate, fearless adventurer...and the original owner of Stitch Head's pearly blue glass eye?!

When the first of Mad Professor Erasmus' creations discovers he might be part-pirate, he's taken aback. But soon he realizes that, perhaps, the dangers of the open ocean have been his calling all along!

With his creator seemingly having abandoned Castle Grotteskew and its 311 monsters, Stitch Head sets out with his crewmates Creature and Arabella to search for a new destiny, only to discover that old foes may still lurk in the deep!s

Join this motley group of sailors as they search for the world's greatest treasure--a place to belong.

Innocent wishes turn decidedly sinister in this chilling horror for fans of Katherine Arden and R. L. Stine.

Peter and his half brother, Adrian, live in the shadow of Old Splinter--a formerly lavish estate now in ruins. Rumored to have once housed an eccentric magician, it's now home to little more than spiderwebs and mold. Tasked with renovating the crumbling mansion on behalf of their wealthy uncle, Peter's stepdad is at his wits' end. And the cracks are beginning to show in their once-happy cottage.

A mysterious local legend may be their only hope. The wishing claw, a magical hand that grants your deepest desires, has spell-bound townsfolk for centuries. If it's real--if he can find it--then Peter might just save his family! But wishes are tricky things and they always come with a price. What starts innocently enough soon unearths much more than Peter bargained for, including a dark secret lurking in the walls of the mansion...and a monstrous hunger that comes knocking at his door.

The Tree That Could Not Change is a children's story that asks a simple question: what if you cannot do what everyone else seems to do? In the grove, the oaks are proud when autumn arrives. Their leaves turn yellow, orange, and red, and the forest celebrates with animals delaying their winter migration just to join in. All of this joy sets the stage for one small tree in the middle that has been waiting for this moment all year. He finally has green leaves after years of nothing, and now he wants to glow in shades of red like his neighbors. Spoiler: He does not.

The young tree watches the older oaks change first. Then the others follow. His moment comes. He pushes, he wills, he believes. Yet, his leaves stay green. The animals notice. The oaks notice. The little tree notices most of all. He mumbles, "I don't understand," and that line just about sums up the heartbreak.

Weeks pass. The tree works harder than any oak around. Some oaks offer advice, but most back away, confused and unsure. The season keeps moving without him. The oaks release their leaves. The little one cannot. Then comes snow. The weight bends his branches, the storm shakes him, and he starts to ask if he even matters.

That moment when he almost breaks, something shifts. Under his bent limbs a blue jay seeks shelter. The tree, nearly crushed by his own failure, suddenly becomes a protector. That changes everything. The night is filled with chatter, the storm passes, and the bird leaves. But the tree is no longer only thinking about himself. He finds a purpose.

From then on, each storm brings new animals. The tree bends but does not break. He grows into a role no one else in the grove can fill. By spring, he no longer cares about turning red. Word spreads. Animals come not to see colors but to find safety under his strong branches. The tree that once wished to be like everyone else becomes proud of what makes him different.

This is not a story about being the brightest in the crowd. It is about surviving when it feels impossible, and finding worth in what only you can do. Children see a tree that tries, fails, hurts, and then finds meaning. Adults reading along will probably nod and think, "Yep, that's life."

The pacing keeps the tension steady with storms, struggles, and survival. The main character is just a tree, yet he feels real because the problems are the same ones people face. Wanting to belong. Fearing being left behind. Learning that what makes you different might be exactly what others need.

The Tree That Could Not Change is more than a seasonal tale. It is a reminder that not fitting in is not the end of the story. Sometimes, it is the beginning of what you were meant to be all along.
