STAR CHILD By James P. Hogan
(age: 12+)
Must the Creator be greater than the Creation?
Taya had always lived in the World. Her companion Kort had always been with her. She accepted these things, and why not? They were her world. But Taya wondered why everything she could see beyond the window was so different from all the things inside. She also wondered why the stars never changed if her world was really moving the way her metal friend Kort said it was…. Could Kort be wrong? That would be very strange, because Kort knew everything, and he was sure they were moving — just as she was sure the stars were not.
Then, one day, the World was born anew….
FLIGHT OF THE FIRE THEIF By Terry Deary
(age: 12+)
Flight of the Fire Thief continues the hilarious fantastical adventures of
Prometheus, the Greek demigod who stole fire from the gods and gave it
to the human race. To escape the gods’ revenge, Prometheus time-travels
to Eden City, arriving in 1795. There he befriends a brave and resourceful
twelve-year-old girl named Nell. Deary skillfully interweaves two plots,
with the action jumping at a whirlwind pace from ramshackle Eden City
to Mount Olympus and the battlefields of the Trojan War.
GONE WILD By David McLimans
(General)
Feast your eyes on these amazing creatures before they disappear. This stampede of wild animals, from Chinese Alligator to Grevy’s Zebra, are so rare, they’re all endangered. David McLiman’s bold and playful illustrations transform each letter into a work of art, graphically rendered with animal characteristics. Scales, horns, even insect wings transform the alphabet into animated life.
Once you take this eye-opening safari, you’ll never look at letters or animals with the same way again. A striking work of art and a zoological adventure, Gone Wild is sure to be loved by children and adults alike.

GOONEY BIRD GREENE By Lois Lowry
(age: 7-9yrs)
It seemed like an ordinary October day in Mrs. Pidgeon’s second grade classroom until the door opened and a red-headed girl introduced herself. “I’m Gooney Bird Greene,” she said. “That’s Greene with an ‘e’ on the end, and I’d like to have a desk right smack in the middle of everything.” Gooney Bird Greene was wearing pajamas and cowboy boots, and carrying a lunchbox and a dictionary. Mrs. Pidgeon’s classroom would never be the same.

The ‘Tao of Pooh’ explains Taoism by Winnie the Pooh and explains Winnie the Pooh by Taoism.
LEVEN THUMPS AND THE WHISPERED SECRET By Obert Skye
(age: 12+)
After escaping a deranged dream-master and destroying the hidden gateway, Leven Thumps and his band of travelers must now journey across Foo and restore Geth from his shape as a toothpick to the rightful king he once was. But Foo is still in chaos, and Leven must overcome several adversaries and survive the Swollen Forest in order to save his friends and keep hope alive. As fate would have it, nothing goes as planned, and even Geth begins to wonder if they will succeed. Bad goes to worse as Leven digs up a long buried seceret- one that stalks him, determined to whisper a truth that could be deadly in the wrong hands. Through it all, Leven finds the courage to do what is right and continues to discover an inner strength and a power he never thought possible.
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HUMPHREY By Betty G. Birney
(age: 12+)
You can learn a lot about life by observing another species. That’s what Humphrey was told when he was first brought to Room 26. And boy, is it true! In addition to his classroom escapades, each weekend this amazing hamster gets to sleep over with a different student, like Lower-Your-Voice-A.J. and Speak-Up-Sayeh. Soon Humphrey learns to read, write, and even shoot rubber bands (only in self-defense, of course). Humphrey has friends, adventures, and a cage with a lock-thatdoesn’t- lock. His life would be perfect, if only the teacher, Mrs. Brisbane, wasn’t out to get him!
PICTURE GANDHI By Sandhya Rao
(General)
PICTURE GANDHI heads off the beaten track and follows Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi himself, in spirit as much as chronology. The author views him with affection, but sparely, guided by what he himself valued most – truth and love – and what was important to him. Visually, too, the book enhances this perspective. Thought bubbles paraphrase Gandhi’s words and peep into his mind. Colourful hand-done elements add interesting extensions to old black and white photographs.
