From the author of SHUFFLE, REPEAT comes a story of missed connections, missed opportunities, and how not to miss out on the love of your life.
Rainie doesn’t have a “passion” like her friends. She tries many activities, eventually dismissing each. When her classmate Tuck recites a monologue at a school assembly that puts into words exactly how adrift she’s been feeling lately, Rainie takes it as a sign — she’s supposed to follow Tuck to theater camp so that they can be together. Unfortunately, Tuck’s monologue was actually written by Milo, a smart, attractive boy who has immediate chemistry with Rainie, but who also happens to be her former best friend’s ex-boyfriend. After many miscues, Rainie finally figures out who — and what — she really wants out of life and love.

New York Times bestselling author Andrew Clements’ first book for Random House is a terrific, kid-friendly novel that celebrates the love of reading.
Sixth-grader Alec can’t put a good book down. He reads in class instead of paying attention. He reads at home instead of doing his homework. When Alec is forced to participate in an after-school program, one of the requirements is to join or create a club. He decides to name his club “The Losers Club”, a deliberately unattractive name designed to keep other kids away. Alec intends to be the only member — so that he can keep reading undisturbed. But when more and more kids find their way to the Losers Club, including a former friend turned bully and the girl Alec likes, Alec starts to notice something: he just might be missing out on the greatest story never written — his own.
Featuring humor, warmth, and themes of family and friendship, THE LOSERS CLUB is classic middle grade fiction at its best.
We’ll be doing a huge marketing campaign, including starting our own “Random House Losers Club” as well as providing classroom and retail merchandise kits that will include stickers, bookmarks, and instructions on “How to Start Your Own Losers Club”.

It’s Christmas Eve in Harlem, but twelve-year-old Lolly Rachpaul and his mom aren’t celebrating. They’re still reeling from his older brother’s death in a gang-related shooting just a few months earlier. Then Lolly’s mother’s girlfriend brings him a gift that will change everything: two enormous bags filled with Legos. Lolly loves architecture and he loves Legos; he prides himself on following the kit instructions to make elaborate buildings. Now, faced with a pile of building blocks and no instructions, Lolly must find his own way forward.
His path isn’t clear — there are financial pressures, academic pressures, and pressures to join a gang. But Lolly has a loving family, great friends, and wonderful mentors — and the people in his life, coupled with his own creative spirit, make all the difference.
David Barclay Moore paints a powerful portrait of a boy teetering on the edge — of adolescence, of grief, of violence — and shows how Lolly’s inventive spirit helps him build a life with firm foundations and open doors.

The novels, written by noted children’s author Lisa Yee, will follow Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Katana, Harley Quinn, Bumble Bee, and Poison Ivy — depicted as multi-ethnic teenagers prior to full development as superpowered adults — as they navigate their superhero training at Super Hero High. Super Hero High is the place for young Super Heroes to gain acceptance while being taught to hone their unique super powers. Each of the characters will have her own storyline about mastering her power and growing up, with storytelling designed to help build character and confidence, and empower girls to discover their true potential. The ancillary titles will support the plots of the original novels and the webisodes.
Featuring DC Comics’ most powerful and diverse line-up of female characters as relatable teens, DC SUPER HERO GIRLS is an exciting publishing event.

A terrific adventure story about an ancient evil that has been unleashed in today’s world from New York Times bestselling author, D.J. MacHale (the PENDRAGON series).

He is suddenly seeing and hearing things no one else does and a ghostly figure keeps telling him “to surrender the key.” It turns out the key can be inserted into any door’s keyhole to transport the user to an ancient library filled with books, many of which have no endings because the stories are still unfolding.

Only Marcus, Lu, and Theo can stop them.

Kid-friendly and full of heart and unforgettable characters, this new series will be embraced by fans of Rob Buyea’s popular MR. TERUPT books.
Lake View Middle School: Mrs. Woods’ class of eleven-year-olds: • Under pressure to be the top gymnast her mother expects her to be, Randi starts to wonder what her destiny truly holds. • Football-crazy Gavin has always struggled with reading and feels as dumb as his high school drop-out father. • Trevor acts tough and mean; but as much as he hates school, he hates being home even more. • Scott has a big brain and an even bigger heart, especially when it comes to his grandfather; but his good intentions always backfire in spectacular ways. • Natalie, aspiring lawyer and know-it-all, loves to follow the rules; however, this year she’s about to break them all.
These kids don’t agree on much except for one thing: the upcoming student assessment tests are horrible. Even their ancient, wrinkled, no-nonsense teacher, Mrs. Woods, thinks so. She doesn’t like having to do away with activities the kids enjoy in order to prep for the big day. As test day looms, someone’s big idea draws each one of them into a situation that gets ugly before it gets better.

THE PURLOINING OF PRINCE OLEOMARGARINE is an unfinished story by Mark Twain, resurfaced after a century and now brought to life by Caldecott-winning duo Philip and Erin Stead. This unprecedented project is a Lead title for Random House Children’s Books with a six-figure first printing.
One night in Paris in 1879, Mark Twain settled in to tell a bedtime story to his two young daughters. The story followed a poor, hungry boy who ate a magic flower, giving him the abil- ity to talk to animals. The unfinished story, discovered over 100 years later in one of Twain’s journals, is believed to be the only children’s story the author ever wrote down. When a scholar visiting the Twain archives in Berkeley realized the significance of this text, he brought it to the attention of The Mark Twain House and Museum, who then sold it to Random House Children’s Books.
The one problem was that the story left off on a cliffhanger — at the entrance to a cave guarded by dragons, with no hint of a resolution. To flesh out and finish the text, Random House Children’s Books called on two of today’s most notable names in children’s literature, Philip and Erin Stead.
The result is a beautifully illustrated storybook that explores themes of charity, kindness, and bravery in the face of tyranny. With stunning artwork throughout and occasional interruptions by the imagined voice of Twain himself, this is a book for all ages and all readers.

Exploring the feelings of helplessness and anger that happen in the wake of seeing a classmate treated badly, Kerascoët uses •Author: Kerascoët playfully expressive illustrations to show us how a single act of kindness •Page count: 40 can lead to an entire community joining in to help. •Ages: 4 – 8 •Pub Date: February 6, 2018 With themes of acceptance and kindness, this timeless and profound story will resonate with readers young and old, and show children how to be allies without needing to say a word.
PENGUIN PROBLEMS
It’s not easy being a penguin . . .
Little Penguin has problems: his beak is cold; there’s snow everywhere; it’s too bright out; the water smells salty; he waddles; he looks the same as everybody else. The list goes on. Eventually a walrus comes along with some sage advice:
Penguin, have you noticed the way The mountains are reflected in the ocean like a painting? Have you gazed upon the blue of that cloudless, winter sky? I am certain that, when you think about it, you’ll realize that you are exactly where you need to be.
Obviously, walruses don’t know anything about Penguin Problems.
Random House Children’s Books is thrilled to have such a charming book from this acclaimed author-illustrator duo.

VINCENT CAN’T SLEEP: VAN GOGH PAINTS THE NIGHT SKY
Barbara Rosenstock and Mary GrandPré, the team behind THE NOISY PAINT BOX, return with a new gorgeously illustrated picture book about another celebrated artist.
From his boyhood in the Dutch countryside to his adulthood in Paris and the south of France, Vincent van Gogh often found himself unable to sleep. At these times, he would rise from his bed and wander through fields and cobbled streets, gazing up at the “lemon-yellow . . . pink . . . green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance” of the stars. Those nighttime experiences provided the inspiration for many of his paintings, including his most famous: The Starry Night.
This gentle picture book focuses on the beauty and imagination of van Gogh’s life, telling his story with respect and reverence. Mary GrandPré’s stunning illustrations merge with van Gogh’s painting to create a fascinating backdrop. Readers inspired by this art are sure to also enjoy the three featured Van Gogh paintings, and the author’s note, in the back matter.

NON-FICTION PRIDE: THE STORY OF HARVEY MILK AND THE RAINBOW FLAG
“Harvey Milk was an ordinary man, but he had an extraordinary dream.” So begins this beautifully told and beautifully illustrated story about love, acceptance of others, and pride in oneself.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay person to be elected to United States political office, and he was dedicated to the cause of LGBTQ rights. In 1978, he and his artist friend Gilbert Baker gave the LGBTQ movement its most enduring symbol: the rainbow flag. Since the flag first flew at a gay pride march in San Francisco on June 25, 1978, it has been embraced by the gay rights movement across the world, and has flown outside churches, museums, city halls and homes. In the nearly 40 years since the flag first appeared, the rainbow colors have come to represent love and acceptance all over the world. For LGBTQ people everywhere, the flag is a proud reminder of their worth and beauty.
With stirring words and stunning, intricate illustrations, Robert L. Sanders and Steven Salerno have created an important book sure to inspire kindness and pride in children and adults alike.
