| Tumble & Blue by Cassie BeasleyBlue Montgomery is a born loser. All Montgomerys are cursed with unusual "fates," and Blue's is that he just can't win. At anything. Ever. Not even help from his new friend, aspiring superhero Tumble Wilson, can change that. But for the first time in 100 years, a red moon is rising over Murky Branch, Georgia. It's a sign that kicks off a quest for Tumble and Blue: if they venture into the Okefenokee Swamp and find a golden alligator named Munch, the family curse can be broken. Quirky characters and a sprinkling of fantasy make Tumble & Blue perfect for fans of Natalie Lloyd's A Snicker of Magic. |

| The Wizards of Once by Cressida CowellPrincess Wish is the daughter of the Warrior queen, but she prefers her enchanted pet spoon over fearsome weapons. Prince Xar is the son of the Wizard king, but he can't do any magic (yet). When the two of them meet in the wildwood between their kingdoms, each recognizes a fellow misfit, and soon they're sharing an unexpected journey in search of dangerous Witch. Similar to author Cressida Cowell's popular How to Train Your Dragon books, this series starter is set in a detailed fantasy world and filled with funny, scribbly drawings to draw you deeper into the adventure. |

| The Night Garden by Polly HorvathWorld War II brings a lot of changes for 12-year-old Franny and her parents, but Winifred, Wilfred, and Zebediah are the biggest. The three siblings have come to stay on the family's Vancouver Island farm while their parents are off doing something mysterious involving a secret military plane, and things only get weirder from there. A terrible cook, some strange letters, a wish-granting garden, and a UFO -- not to mention a host of eccentric characters -- all add intrigue to this whimsical read from Canadian author Polly Horvath. |

| Saving Lucas Biggs by Marisa De los Santos and David TeagueThe O'Malley family lives by a solemn vow to never use their "quirk" of being able to travel back in time. But after her dad is falsely accused of murder and sentenced to death, 13-year-old Margaret O'Malley is willing to break that vow in order to save her father's life. Here in 2014, cruel, corrupt judge Lucas Biggs isn't willing to change his mind, yet back in 1938 Margaret might still be able to influence him for the better. Suspenseful pacing and lots of heart make this time travel mystery a good choice for fans of Rebecca Stead's When You Reach Me or Charise Mericle Harper's Dreamer, Wisher, Liar. |

| Foxheart by Claire LegrandRaised in a convent, orphan girl Quicksilver has no friends except for her dog, Fox, and no skills except for stealing -- or so she thinks. After meeting a boy named Sly Boots and an old witch named Anastazia, Quicksilver discovers that she's a witch too, and that it's her destiny to travel throughout time in order to prevent the powerful Wolf King from destroying all the witches in the Star Lands. Friendships, both old and new, are the driving force in this time-twisting tale that's sure to tempt fantasy fans. |

| Target Practice by Mike MaihackAs if ruling ancient Egypt wasn't enough pressure, 15-year-old Cleopatra is suddenly transported to an alien planet in the far future, where she discovers that she's destined to save the entire Nile galaxy. But before she can defeat the power-hungry villain Xaius Octavian, she's got to endure boring classes at Yasiro Academy, practice her skills with a ray gun, and get to know her teacher/sidekick, a talking cat named Khensu. This 1st book in the Cleopatra in Space series has enough exciting action and eye-catching artwork to tempt fans of Ben Hatke's Zita the Spacegirl books. |
