| Megabat by Anna Humphrey; illustrated by Kass ReichWhat it's about: After moving into his new attic bedroom, Daniel Misumi discovers an unexpected roommate: Megabat, a talking fruit bat who just wants to go home to Borneo.
Why you might like it: It's hard not to smile at Megabat's unusual way of speaking (smooshfruit, anyone?) and love of Star Wars (he's even got a bendy-straw lightsaber).
Series alert: This illustrated story of cross-species friendship is the 1st in a new series. |

| The Mystery of the Missing Everything by Ben H. WintersWhat it's about: After Mary Todd Lincoln Middle School's only trophy is stolen and the principal threatens to cancel the eighth grade class trip unless it's returned, semi-experienced sleuth Bethesda Fielding races to crack the case.
Why you might like it: With a huge cast of quirky characters -- some of them familiar to readers of Bethesda's first case, The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman -- this fast and funny mystery will keep you guessing. |
