| 9780440420927 | Soupy Saturdays with the Pain and the Great One (Pain and the Great One Series) | Blume, Judy | Favorite author Judy Blume perfectly captures kids' feelings in these seven warm-hearted stories that offer a peek into the important relationship between a brother and sister. Meet The Pain: My sister's name is Abigail. I call her The Great One because she thinks she's so great. It's fun to make her mad. Who cares if she's in third grade and I'm just in first? That doesn't make her faster. Or stronger. Or even smarter. I don't get why mom and dad act like she's so special. Sometimes I think they love her more than me. Meet The Great One: My brother's name is Jacob Edward but everyone calls him Jake. Everyone but me. I call him The Pain because that's what he is. He's a first grade pain. And he will always be a pain--even if he lives to be one hundred years old. Even then, I'll still know more about everything. That's just the way it is. I don't get why mom and dad act like he's so special. Sometimes I think they love him more than me.Publishers WeeklyThis energetic, comical collaboration rounds up seven new stories about the spunky siblings from Blume's The Pain and the Great One. First-grader Jake calls his older sister the Great One, because she thinks she's so great. Abigail, in turn, has dubbed him the Pain because that's what he is. In distinct, equally sassy voices, the two take turns narrating the tales, which capture slices of Saturday life. The Great One provides an imaginative solution when her brother refuses to get a haircut (because he's afraid that the barber will cut his ears off), and describes her disastrous half-birthday sleepover party, at which the one friend who shows up refuses to spend the night. The Pain explains how he successfully wiggles out of playing goalie for his bungling soccer team, and tells of pet-sitting for his aunt's dog and giving the malodorous mutt a shampoo and a tooth-brushing. And the Great One proudly recounts how she finally overcomes her fear of falling and learns to ride a bike. (I can jump rope, turn an almost-perfect cartwheel, and make pancakes with hardly any help. The Pain is hopeless at those things. So how come he can ride a bike?) Blume fills the duo's narratives with playful bickering, banter and baiting, while slyly and satisfyingly revealing their mutual affection. Further animating the kids' antics are Stevenson's (No Laughing, No Smiling, No Giggling) wispy illustrations, which feature many funny flourishes. Ages 5-9.

| 9781442494879 | Space Case | Stuart Gibbs | It’s a murder mystery on the moon in this humorous and suspenseful space adventure from the author of Belly Up and Spy School that The New York Times Book Review called “a delightful and brilliantly constructed middle grade thriller.” Like his fellow lunarnauts—otherwise known as Moonies—living on Moon Base Alpha, twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson is famous the world over for being one of the first humans to live on the moon. And he’s bored out of his mind. Kids aren’t allowed on the lunar surface, meaning they’re trapped inside the tiny moon base with next to nothing to occupy their time—and the only other kid Dash’s age spends all his time hooked into virtual reality games. Then Moon Base Alpha’s top scientist turns up dead. Dash senses there’s foul play afoot, but no one believes him. Everyone agrees Dr. Holtz went onto the lunar surface without his helmet properly affixed, simple as that. But Dr. Holtz was on the verge of an important new discovery, Dash finds out, and it’s a secret that could change everything for the Moonies—a secret someone just might kill to keep... | Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers |
