The beloved author of Because of Winn-Dixie has outdone herself with a hilarious and achingly real love story about a girl, a ghost, a grandmother, and growing up. It's the summer before fifth grade, and for Ferris Wilkey, it is a summer of sheer pandemonium: Her little sister, Pinky, has vowed to become an outlaw. Uncle Ted has left Aunt Shirley and, to Ferris's mother's chagrin, is holed up in the Wilkey basement to paint a history of the world. And Charisse, Ferris's grandmother, has started seeing a gh ost at the threshold of her room, which seems like an alarming omen given that she is also feeling unwell. But the ghost is not there to usher Charisse to the Great Beyond. Rather, she has other plans-wild, impractical, illuminating plans. How can Ferris satisfy a specter with Pinky terrorizing the town, Uncle Ted sending Ferris to spy on her aunt, and her father battling an invasion of raccoons? As Charisse likes to say, "Every good story is a love story," and Kate DiCamillo has written one for the ages: emotionally resonant and healing, showing the two-time Newbery Medalist at her most playful, universal, and profound.

She lives in fear -- of the two-legs, of the noisy, massive trains that scream in and out of the station, of cats and rats and dogs and the dark of the tunnels. She lives in the subway, where the hard shoes kick her ribs, where shrill voices beat her ears, where she subsists on the garbage of the humans. But the little cat walks alone. Until she meets Candlewax, a street kid exiled from the subway tunnels, and Katherine, a student photographer who loves her on sight. From these two she learns that trust can banish fear and love provides a home wherever you are.

Felix, pensionnaire de 16 ans, peine à comprendre ce qui lui arrive lorsque l’Abyssal, ce navire sous-marin qui est venu le chercher mystérieusement au cours de la nuit de même que 9 autres orphelins, émerge à la surface après plus d’une heure de descente en plein coeur d’un abysse de l’Atlantique. En sortant sur le pont, les 10 orphelins s’émerveillent devant ce qui s’avère être la plus vaste caverne de la Terre; si vaste qu’un continent entier s’y trouve à l’abri de la modernité. Le royaume où il accoste et où il suivra diverses formations comme apprenti chasseur, combattant et navigateur n’est toutefois pas aussi enchanteur qu’il en a l’air: depuis plusieurs années, des apprentis disparaissent énigmatiquement et ne sont jamais retrouvés. Le jour où l’un des amis de Felix se volatilise à son tour, il choisit de prendre un énorme risque pour remédier à la situation: suivre exactement les mêmes traces qu’ont empruntées deux autres disparus. Ses recherches le mèneront à de troublantes découvertes, où la magie, l’amitié, la trahison et la mort lui feront remettre tout en question, de son passé jusqu’à son avenir.

From the author of Blue Skies comes a lively middle grade novel about a young, alien-loving girl trying to clear her grandmother's name in this mystery that has humor, hijinks, and heart in equal measure. It's 1964, the Space Race is well underway, and eleven-year-old Magnolia Jean Crook and the other residents of Totter, Texas, are over the moon about UFOs. The whole town is gearing up for the First Annual Come on Down Day-in just one week, they are hoping to host any and all space aliens who would like to visit Earth. But right before the kick-off party, a meteorite goes missing-and MJ's beloved grandmother Mimi, who is the vice president of the Totter Unidentified Flying Object Organization, is the prime suspect. MJ is desperate to show the town that this Crook is not a thief. The only problem is that there is a lot of evidence against her, and Mimi herself isn't helping things. She's acting suspiciously, pulling disappearing acts, and worst of all, can't seem to answer any questions about where she was or what she was doing. But much like UFOs, extraterrestrial visitations, and sending people to space, the impossible has been known to happen.
