    <![CDATA[In the summer of 1971, Jack Gantos was an aspiring young writer looking for adventure, cash for college tuition, and a way out of a dead-end job. For ten thousand dollars, he recklessly agreed to help sail a boat loaded with hashish from the Virgin Islands to New York City.  But federal agents were waiting. Gantos was caught and, for his part in the conspiracy, sentenced to serve up to six years in prison.<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[The loveable, disaster-prone hero of <em>Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key</em> is back, this time in charge of his attention deficit disorder and ready to greet the world as a normal kid--with the help of his new and improved meds, of course. Now that Joey has a handle on his actions, he feels prepared to face the most mysterious member of his family--his estranged father, Carter Pigza. He convinces his skeptical mom to let him spend part of his summer vacation getting to know his dad again. The only problem is that Joey's dad is just as wired as  Joey used to be: &quot;I looked over at his mouth, which never seemed to close--not even the lips touched together--and it made me dizzy to listen to him.&quot; Carter believes that Joey can kick his ADD the way he himself kicked alcoholism--cold turkey. But when Carter flushes his meds, Joey has to decide if being friends with his dad is worth losing his hard-won self-control. &quot;That old Joey was coming to get me and I couldn't do anything about it... I closed my eyes and told myself to sleep while I could.&quot; <br/>Jack Gantos's second book about Joey Pigza is just as delightful and soulful as  his first. Joey's attempts to keep the fragile peace in his life intact are touching, and his intense longing to just be normal will mirror the feelings of most preteens, whether they have ADD or not. Joey Pigza may sometimes lose  control, but he never loses his heart. This is an exceptional sequel. (Ages 10  and older) <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Modern literature's unlikely hero Joey Pigza is back in Jack Gantos's  grand finale to the award-winning trilogy that began with <em>Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key</em>  and the Newbery Honor book <em>Joey  Pigza Loses Control</em>. Joey, the sweetest, funniest kid on meds you'll  ever meet, has enough trouble trying to keep his &quot;active&quot; self together. How can  he win in his new, self-assumed role as &quot;Mr. Helpful&quot; when his divorced parents  are out of control, his Grandma is surly and morbid, and Olivia, the mean blind  girl he's forced to homeschool with, calls him a &quot;hyper retard&quot;? Even Olivia's  religious mother can't save him with her &quot;What would Jesus do?&quot; refrain. As his  world of flawed adults spins around him in carnivalesque chaos, Joey has to  decide on a daily basis what he, Joey, should do. At least he has Pablo, his  loyal Chihuahua mutt, his lucky charm. Or at least he does until his maniacal  father (complete with restraining order) kidnaps the dog to lure Joey out of the  house.<p>  Joey is a wonderful character, and his first-person narrative is both hilarious  and heartbreaking. Sadly, it is his dying grandmother who knows him best: &quot;You  know, Joey, if you didn't wear those med patches, you'd just be thinking about  yourself, and you wouldn't care about making everyone happy. Your problem is  that you got better, and the rest of the world didn't.&quot; While it is more  rewarding to have read the previous Joey books before this one, it is not  mandatory. Still, all three Joey books are memorable, honest, fresh, exciting,  truly eye-opening, and should not be missed by child or adult. (Ages 10 and  older) <em>--Karin Snelson</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On an unseasonably warm Easter Sunday, a young girl named<br/>Ivy discovers a chilling secret in the basement of the Rumbaugh<br/>pharmacy across the street from the hotel where she lives with<br/>her mother. The discovery reveals a disturbing side to the<br/>eccentric lives of family friends Abner and Adolph Rumbaugh,<br/>known throughout their small western Pennsylvania town<br/>simply as the Twins. It seems that Ab and Dolph have been<br/>compelled by a powerful mutual love for their deceased mother<br/>to do something extraordinary, something that in its own<br/>twisted way bridges the gap between the living and the dead.<br/>Immediately, Ivy&#8217;s discovery provokes the revelation of a<br/>Rumbaugh family curse, a curse that, as Ivy will learn over the<br/>coming years, holds a strange power over herself and her own<br/>mother.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<br/>In his third book for young adults, Jack Gantos has scripted a<br/>completely original drama. With gothic flavor and black humor,<br/>he depicts a group of people bound together by love,<br/>compulsion . . . and a passion for taxidermy.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just when Joey Pigza&#8217;s wired world finally seems to be under control, his good-for-nothing dad pops back into his life. This time, though, Carter Pigza is a new man &#8211; literally. After a lucky lotto win, Carter Pigza has a crazy new outlook on life, and he&#8217;s even changed his name to Charles Heinz. He thinks Joey and his mom should become new people, too. Soon Joey finds himself bombarded with changes: a new name, a new home, and a new family business &#8211; running the beat-up Beehive Diner. He knows he should forgive his dad as his mom wants him to, and get with the new family program. But Joey is afraid that in changing names and going with the flow he will lose sight of who he really is. <br/> <br/>In this rocket-paced new chapter in Joey Pigza&#8217;s life, a favorite hero discovers what identity and forgiveness really mean, and how to cook a delicious turkey burger. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Rotten Ralph is a cat that brings no end of trouble to his owner Sarah and her family, but she still cares for him.  The reader follows Ralph from one escapade to another, and while his pleasure is usually at the expense of the happiness of others, Sarah gently admonishes him until one of his jinks goes to far.  This story shows the pleasure of being naughty while reminding readers of the importance of being nice.  Children will find Ralph entertaining since he is both fun and exasperating.  The illustrations are quirky and colorful, and children will be amused by Ralph's endlessly expressive face and mischievous smiles, so characteristic of cats everywhere.  This may be a good book for showing a child how a pet can be both a companion and a responsibility, since Sarah cares for Ralph even as she monitors his behavior.  This is a funny story about a cat that exceeds the bounds of patience and acceptance but not of love.    Ages 5-8; Grades K-3    Paperback; 48 Pages]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;<strong>A prequel to <em>Heads or Tails: Stories from the Sixth Grade</em></strong><br/><br/>Inspired by the author's childhood diaries, this new collection of Jack Henry stories depicts a fifth-grade year to end all fifth-grade years. Living in a Miami rental home with a busy railroad track running a stone's throw from the backyard, the author's alter ego is plagued by a know-it-all older sister, a bizarre Francophile teacher, a series of crazed cats, a slightly off-kilter father, a tapeworm, and a pair of escaped convicts -- to name just a few of his antagonists. But for Jack Henry, hailed by <em>School Library Journal </em>as &quot;an 'everyboy' whose world may be wacko but whose heart and spirit are eminently sane,&quot; no matter how rough the ride, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

Thanks to his rotten ways, he’s down to the very last of his nine lives!<br/>“One more slip and he’ll be gone forever,” warns the vet.<br/>Sarah, Ralph’s doting owner, is fiercely determined to keep her cat safe. But how much coddling can Ralph take before he has to do something totally and utterly rotten?<br/>In this ninth tale about the most delightfully disobedient cat in town, being naughty has never looked so good to Rotten Ralph. But then again, after a hard day’s rotten work, neither does the warmth and safety of Sarah’s lap!]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;<strong>He's really at sea this time</strong>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As the Henry family sets sail for a new life on Cape Hatteras, fourth-grader Jack is struggling to chart a course between his parents&#8217; contradictory advice on making friends and influencing people. Just tell people what they want to hear, Dad advises. Just tell the truth, Mom cautions. Jack finds there are no easy answers as he drifts through his crazy school year, falling desperately in love with his young teacher, getting suckered into becoming a bad-behavior spy for the principal, and being forced to make a presentable pet out of a duck with backward feet. Indeed, with an airheaded, air-guitar-playing neighbor the closest thing to a friend, and a judgmental older sister his relentless enemy, it&#8217;s all he can do to stay afloat.<br/><br/>This colorful and comic new collection of interrelated stories featuring the author&#8217;s hapless alter ego is a prequel to the other four books in the Jack Henry series, praised by <em>Booklist </em>for their &#8220;hilarious, exquisitely painful, and utterly on-target depiction of the life of an adolescent and preadolescent boy.&#8221;<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Ralph outdoes himself again in this picture book of wedding bliss and bedlam.</p><p>It's Aunt Martha's wedding day and Sarah is the flower girl, but Ralph is determined to turn this celebration into an event only our favorite rotten cat could enjoy. He begins by wrapping the wedding gift with that special Ralph flair, then selecting some choice &quot;petals&quot; for Sarah to spread over the guests. After a riotous ceremony, he tops the day by wreaking havoc at the reception.</p><p>&quot;Oh, Ralph you were so rotten,&quot; bemoans Sarah. Is there anything that cat will do to make her happy? You'll be surprised...</p> &quot;'I bet I know who did that'&quot;, Sarah said to herself. She peeked under the table and saw Ralph eating a monster slice of cake.<p>Sarah's the flower girl at Aunt Martha's wedding, and Ralph is ready to tie all kinds of knots--but are they the kind that will make for marital bliss? If they involve a red cat, a monster truck, and paws full of snails, you can guess the answer. The question to be popped is: After a day of nuptial sabotage, can Ralph still make Sarah smile? Once again, Jack Gantos and Nicole Rubel manage to bring equal measures of love and nastiness to Sarah's special cat. </p><p>00 Children's Choices (IRA/CBC)</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The new collaboration between author Richard Thompson and illustrator Martin Springett is an eerie picture-book poem perfect for late-night reading. What is following the young witch home every night past the frightening statues and the sinister life-like trees? Before the witch discovers the identity of &quot;the follower&quot; young readers will find the answer to the mystery in the shadowy illustrations.  Martin Springett's use of a new style for his illustrations sets the mood perfectly as the witch makes her way home night after night with the mysterious follower close behind. Richard Thompson's haunting poem is a perfect read-aloud for very young readers with plenty of repetition and rhyme.]]>
