| Ms. Bixby's Last Day by John David Anderson; narrated by Jesse Bernstein, Ramon de Ocampo, and Maxwell GlickJuvenile Fiction: By the time they reach 6th grade, classmates Topher, Steve, and Brand have been taught by all kinds of teachers, but they've never had one quite like Ms. Bixby. She's one of "the Good Ones," the kind of teacher who really understands. When Ms. Bixby has to leave the school to start cancer treatments (sooner than expected), the three boys band together to cut class, sneak into the hospital, and give their teacher the kind of send-off she deserves. Topher, Steve, and Brand (distinctly voiced by the narrators) take turns describing their offbeat (and not entirely legal) plan, as well as the different ways in which Ms. Bixby changed their lives. |

| Serafina and the Twisted Staff by Robert Beatty; narrated by Cassandra Campbell Juvenile Fiction: Though she's firmly rooted in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Serafina is stuck between two worlds: in one, she's the Chief Rat Catcher at the grand, recently completed Biltmore Estate, but in the other, she's learning the ways of the wild from her mother, a shape-shifting catamount. When several unusual visitors arrive at the Estate just as the local animals begin acting strangely, Serafina realizes that it's up to her to figure out what's really going on. Narrator Cassandra Campbell quickly places readers in the "unrelenting action and excitement" (Booklist), but be sure to read Serafina's 1st adventure, Serafina and the Black Cloak (also voiced by Campbell) before you dive into this sequel. |
