This fall’s selection of titles for young readers provide excellent phonemic tools to help them gain confidence, while delivering entertaining stories children will want to revisit over and over.

Gripping, scientific, out-of-this-world stories of mythical creatures and mysterious circumstances await readers this fall.
 

This spring, students need only pack their curiosity and imaginations to travel—no tickets or suitcases required!

This spring, publishers are bringing forth compelling series not only about perpetually fascinating mythological creatures, but also about some of history’s most baffling, inexplicable puzzlers.

Who doesn’t love a great story? Legendary heroes, weird creatures, and unexplained phenomena are the foundations of tales that have always mesmerized listening and reading audiences and generated thrills and chills.

Students will be engrossed, entertained, and inspired as they delve into fascinating accounts of paranormal proceedings, vivid descriptions of legendary beings, and the exploits of mythic heroes and heroines whose origins are shrouded in the mists of time.

Eight new series explore the weird worlds of Bigfoot, Kraken, mermaids, and more. 

Beguiling series packed with great stories are forthcoming: ancient myths and gods’ exploits; literally haunting tales; descriptions of fanciful creatures; and odd, inexplicable experiences that plagued real people. While these stories are exciting and strange, what they really have in common is their humanity.

According to many adults, “If you have your health, you have everything!” Children and teens, however, may not be as familiar with this saying. But after reading these series, students will more fully understand their elders’ maxim and know much more about their bodies.
