Class Pet Squad by Dan Yaccarino
Feiwel & Friends June 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ½; 160 pp.; Ages 6-10; 2c Art; Editor: Liz Szabla
Every school needs a little help now and then, especially PS 1000. Sure, just like your school, PS 1000 has teachers, a principal, and the school’s maintenance crew, who all keep everything running smoothly, but they don’t do it alone!
Who do you think makes sure everyone gets back on the bus after a class trip? Who doesn’t let the scenery in the school play accidentally fall over? Who fights off a gang of rampaging squirrels trying to steal chocolate pudding cups from the cafeteria for tomorrow’s lunch?
The Class Pet Squad, that’s who! And when a student leaves his beloved action figure behind in class, the CPS - a hamster, a turtle, a rabbit, and a lizard - have to find a way to get it back, even if it means crossing paths with a dog, and worse, a CAT.
Dan Yaccarino is the author and illustrator of numerous picture books, including Every Friday and Unlovable. He’s also the creator of the hit animated TV series Oswald and Willa’s Wild Life and the character designer behind The Backyardigans.

My Pet Human Takes Center Stage
Roaring Brook Press August 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 112 pp.; Ages 6-10; B&W Art; Editor: Katherine Jacobs
Freckles is new at school and Oliver wants to be sure she finds her niche. So when she joins the pet club and they’re putting on a talent show to raise money for the local animal shelter, Oliver has no choice but to help out. But when Freckles takes in a foster kitten, Oliver seriously reconsiders his opinion of the club. Turns out, while Oliver values his independence, he’s not so eager to give up being center stage. Not a comic book and not a traditional illustrated chapter book, the My Pet Human series is truly a hybrid of text and art that could only come from the whimsical and brilliant mind of Yasmine Surovec.
Yasmine Surovec loves kitties. She is the artist behind the popular comic blog and book Cat vs. Human and the picture books I See Kitty and A Bed for Kitty.

Rebel Genius: Geniuses Book 1 by Michael DiMartino
Roaring Brook Press October 2016, 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 368 pp; Ages 8-12; B&W Art; Editor: Connie Hsu
Giacomo is a 12-year-old orphan trying to survive in a Renaissance-like fantasy world where art equals power, and all artists have Geniuses, a living creature that embodies the artist’s creative spirit. But art is also dangerous. A new leader is killing off Geniuses to gain supreme power, and once a Genius is destroyed, so is its artist.
When Giacomo discovers he has a Genius, he knows he’s in trouble. Luckily, he finds a secret studio where young artists train in sacred geometry to use their art as weapons. But when the children learn that a rogue artist is after the three Sacred Tools - objects that would allow him to create an indestructible army - they must set out on a life or death adventure to stop him.
Magic, mystery, and math come together in this enthralling, page-turning new series.

For twelve-year-old Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that it’s the home city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger (a game where books are hidden in cities all over the country and clues to find them are revealed through puzzles).
Upon arriving, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch. Then Emily and her new friend James discover an odd book, which they come to believe is from Griswold himself. Racing against time, Emily and James try to uncover the secret at the heart of Griswold’s new game ...before Griswold’s attackers find them.

Emily and James’s teacher Mr. Quisling is up to something mysterious. First, there’s the scrap of a map he leaves at a book event. Then she and James discover their teacher has been receiving encrypted messages in a series of Mark Twain books hidden through Book Scavenger. When Emily and James decipher the messages, they begin to suspect Mr. Quisling is hunting a long-rumored treasure of buried gold. Intrigued by this prospect and what it could mean for her family’s financial struggles, Emily and James set out to best their teacher. But when they research Mark Twain and the Gold Rush era, they learn about a serial arsonist from the 1800s who called himself The Lightkeeper, and the seemingly unrelated string of arson fires around San Francisco suddenly seem more ominous. Especially when they realize the fires have been set in the exact locations where Mr. Quisling found the Mark Twain books. Is a copycat Lightkeeper trying to stop Mr. Quisling? Or could Mr. Quisling himself be the arsonist? COVER NOT FINAL
By the time Emily and James uncover the answers, much more is at stake than whether or not Emily will have to move again.

The Ones by Daniel Sweren-Becker
Imprint September 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 320 pp; Ages 15 & Up; Editor: Erin Stein
Cody has always been proud of being a One. She and her boyfriend James were two of the lucky babies from the 1% of the U.S. population that were randomly selected to benefit from genetic engineering. They are healthy, beautiful, and talented. They aren’t otherworldly, just perfect. And to some, that’s not fair. The Equality Movement, capitalizing on growing fear and jealousy, gains political traction and actually outlaws their existence. Society shows its darker side as The Ones are marginalized. The line between right and wrong blurs in the face of injustice and Cody becomes closer to a group of radical Ones intent on fighting back. James begins to fear just how far she is willing to go for the cause.
The Ones combines current events with frightening aspects of our past to create an all-too- easy-to-imagine reality. Thought provoking, thrilling, and complex, the first in this explosive new young adult series will appeal to fans of Divergent and The Fifth Wave.

Saving Montgomery Sole by Mariko Tamaki
Roaring Brook Press April 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 288 pp.; Ages 12 & Up; Editor: Connie Hsu Montgomery Sole is a square peg in a small town, forced to go to a school full of jocks and girls who don’t even know what irony is. It would all be impossible if it weren’t for her best friends, Thomas and Naoki. The three are also the only members of Jefferson High’s Mystery Club, dedicated to exploring the weird and unexplained, from ESP and astrology to super powers and mysterious objects.
Then there’s the Eye of Know, the possibly powerful crystal amulet Monty bought online. Will it help her predict the future or fight back against the ignorant jerks who make fun of Thomas for being gay or Monty for having two moms?

Hillary Rodham Clinton: A Woman Living History by Karen Blumenthal
Feiwel & Friends January 2016; 5 ½ x 8 ¼; 320 pp.; Ages 12 & Up; B&W Art; Editor: Christine Barcellona
As a young girl in the fifties, Hillary Rodham had an unusual upbringing. Her parents told her, “You can do or be whatever you choose, as long as you’re willing to work for it.” Hillary took those words and ran. Whether it was campaigning at the age of thirteen in the 1964 presidential election, being featured in LIFE magazine as the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley, or graduating from Yale Law School, she always stood out.
And that was only the beginning. Today, we have seen Hillary in many roles. From First Lady of the United States to the first female Senator of New York and most recently as the United States Secretary of State. An activist all her life, she has been devoted to health care reform, child care, and women’s rights, among others. And she’s still not done.
Karen Blumenthal is a long-time journalist for the Wall Street Journal and the author of Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different.

Strange Beauty by Joanne Oppenheim
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Books for Young Readers November 2016; 7 ½ x 9; 176 pp.; Ages 10 & Up; Editor: Susan Dobinick
Did you know that there’s evidence that makeup is older than the wheel? Or that when Marie Curie discovered radium, cosmetics companies marketed it as a healthy way to make your skin glow? Throughout history, men, women, and children have worn make-up for many reasons: to show social status, to express political opinions, and just for style. Through a combination of ancient home remedy recipes, famous images from art history, and amusing anecdotes, Strange Beauty shows what makeup can reveal about the people who wear it.

It doesn’t need a name - and people who try to give it one are, forever, outsiders. Kaidu is one such outsider. He’s a Dao born and bred - a member of the occupying nation. Rat is a native of the Nameless City. At first, she hates Kai for everything he stands for, but his love of his new home may bring these two unlikely friends together.
