A delightful new counting adventure starring fox and the bunnies from
Everybunny Play!
The critters enjoy a lovely woodland hide and seek game that helps little readers count up to 10. The bright, high-contrast illustrations and tight rhyming narration make this a great readaloud with ample story extension opportunities.

MIDDLE GRADE
By
Lindsey Stoddard
Robinson is the kind of girl we all applaud--strong, and unafraid to stand up to a bully. But the adults around her don't think it's so cool when that means punching said bully in the nose. She would resist teachers' efforts to teach her anger control, except her grandfather, who is her legal guardian, is beginning to have trouble remembering things. What will happen when he injures himself, and she's barely able to keep him from wandering off into the wood? Characters you really care about, and a satisfactory resolution, even though we, as adult readers, know that other changes in Robison's life are inevitable.
— Joan (RBB Staff)

YOUNG ADULT
By Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
Amelia and Jules are very different when they find their paths cross on an earth like planet searching for alien artifacts. They join together in an unstable partnership and end up uncovering disturbing information that could threaten the human race. This book is the definition of "nail biting", "heart reaching", "page turning", and "on the edge of your seat". You will enjoy this if you've enjoyed other books by Amie Kaufman or if you are a sci-fi fan.
— Amy L. (Teen Book Club)
