Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants Patrick are as different as can be—but that doesn’t stop them from being the best of friends. After all, they have a lot of important things in common, like having families and liking recess and loving books. But the rest of the kids don’t see it that way. They think that girls and boys are just too different to be friends. So one day, Freckleface decides NOT to play with Windy Pants Patrick. And he decides not to play with her. And nothing really changes . or does it? She still eats lunch and plays and reads books—and so does he. So why don’t those things feel fun anymore? Witty, warmhearted, and brought to life with LeUyen Pham’s gentle hilarity, Julianne Moore’s latest book celebrates the importance of recognizing—and keeping—a true friend.

There was just one problem: Roy Riegels was running the wrong way! Renowned author Dan Gutman recreates this painful (but funny) moment in sports history in a picture book play-by-play of the game’s most thrilling moments—all framed by a friendly grandpa remembering the game for his grandson. Told with the excitement of a sports announcer calling the greatest game of his life, and shown through vivid, cartoonlike illustrations by Kerry Talbott, The Day Roy Riegels Ran the Wrong Way is a feast of humor and history for any sports fan. DAN GUTMAN is the author of the Baseball Card Adventures, the My Weird School series, Casey Back at Bat, The Million Dollar Shot, The Homework Machine, and many other books for young readers.
