"Ever since the Backyard Rangers saved turtles in their town, Miles thought his troubles were behind him. But adjusting to his new school hasn't been easy, and now there's a new wildlife problem. Birdwatchers and paparazzi are flocking to see Marsh Hollow's newest celebrity, "Bella" the barred owl. The crowds are putting all of Marsh Hollow's owls on a deadly collision course with humans.

When Miles discovers that someone is baiting and trapping owls, wildlife photographers, birders, neighbors, and kids all become suspects. Soon, owls aren't the only thing that's threatened-secrets, tensions, and a rival group of rangers put friendships to the test. Will this be the end of the Backyard Rangers? Or can they band together and solve the mystery before more owls get hurt?"--

"Klarke Ascher has a singular goal: to become an Ascenditure, a member of the kingdom's elite climbing team who scale the treacherous peaks of Miter's Backbone in search of an elusive medicine to treat the lung sickness that ails the populace. However, in a kingdom governed by centuries of tradition, where women are legally bound to home and hearth, owned by the men they are forced to marry, the Ascenditures have always been male. As the strongest climber of her generation, Klarke' s skill and strength are undeniable, and her courage and persistence prompt a civil uprising to which the king is finally forced to concede. Klarke' s fight for justice, however, quickly becomes a struggle for survival as fellow Ascenditures, one by one, are inexplicably murdered. For danger lies not only on the icy peaks of treacherous mountains, where ropes are cut and routes are compromised, but in the very halls of power. With the hope of an oppressed generation on her shoulders, Klarke must dig deep within herself to discover the greatest strengths-- of muscle and mind-- not only to survive but to unravel the sinister conspiracy upon which the foundation of their kingdom rests"--

After Romilly's mother's death of a strange fever years ago, neighbors and family fled her village. Bereft, her father becomes increasingly withdrawn, revealing little of their family history that Romilly longs to understand. When her beloved uncle mysteriously disappears from his boat on a cloudless night at sea, she senses her father's growing terror-- a terror she shares when she spies an enormous Being opening a sail-shaped flap of sky over their wheatfield. Romilly suspects these inexplicable events are connected, but how? With the help of unlikely allies-- the healer Arra, Robbie the boisterous crow, and the kestrel Mira-- Romilly must convince her father to dismantle the wall to his greatest secret, and that of the Being that exists in the world beyond.

Juana Méndez and Diane Conrad are going to save each other's lives. Not with super heroics, but with a friendship that gets them through everything.

Then another summer arrives, and ends in heartbreak and hope for the best amigas.

"Ben Snyder is ready for middle school. But his super picky eating, which has never been a big deal before, is about to take him down. Suddenly everybody's on his case about what he's eating and what he's not--his old friends, his new friends, his weird lab partner, the girl he's crushing on, and a bully--and Ben finds himself in social free fall, sliding toward the bottom of the middle school food chain. Even worse, there's an upcoming three-day class trip to a colonial campsite. Knowing he can't handle the gag-worthy menu, Ben prepares for the outing like it's a survival mission. Armed with new and unexpected information about his eating habits that could change everything, he sets out with three tactical goals: impress the girl, outsmart the bully, and avoid every single meal. But when epic hunger threatens to push him over the edge, Ben must decide how far he will go to fit in and if he has the courage to stand out."--
