Muppets Meet the Classics: The Phantom of the Opera
An additional purchase for most collections. Adults or kids who have been exposed to the classic Muppet movies will best appreciate this satirical retelling.
Curse of the Harvester
References to Nightmare Escape make this novel best suited for those familiar with the series. A quick, entertaining read that will have "Dream Jumper" fans awaiting the next book.
Waste of Space
Intriguing and at times hilarious, but ultimately muddy and too drawn-out. Purchase where funny YA is lacking.
Overturned
A fast-paced, compelling mystery and memorable characters and relationships make this selection a first choice for most YA collections.
Later, Gator!
Though the plot is a common one in children's books, Brooks's endearing characters and illustrations make this book stand out. A fun read-aloud and storytime selection for most children's collections, especially those with a transient patron base.-Celia Dillon, The Brearley School, New York
"'Later, Gator!' / 'See you soon, Baboon.'" In speech-bubble text, Gator bids farewell to his friends before his family moves. Lonely in his new neighborhood, Gator reaches out to make friends after receiving encouraging letters from his old buddies. The playful watercolor and acrylic-ink illustrations capture Gator's emotions as the text skillfully navigates the moving process, from goodbyes to hellos: "Howdy do, Kangaroo!"
Conjuror
A slow start gives way to a very strong first installment in this promising new series; purchase where fantasy is popular.
Monstress Vol. 1: Awakening
Intended for mature audiences owing to the violence and nudity and filled with rage and barely contained fury, this is a book that will be wildly embraced by all fans of graphic literature.
