    <![CDATA[In ancient Greece lived a little girl called Medusa Jones. Medusa was a Gorgon, but apart from that, pretty normal. So she has snakes for hair instead of gorgeous blond ringlets like Cassandra. So her best friend is half horse. Is that any reason for the popular kids to be SO mean? <br/><br/> Medusa's sure the school camping trip is going to be a nightmare. But a rock fall puts the popular kids in peril, and Medusa's the only one who can help. Will she be a hero  -- or is her monster side finally going to come out? It's Freaks versus Heroes, brought to life by Ross Collins's hilarious illustrations! <br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> The Pires are cursed with new neighbors. Things were just fine on Nostfer Avenue until the Wolfsons arrived. There seems to be no end to the new family's strange rituals. They stay up all day long, lock their windows at night, and bathe—in sunshine. What's a nice vampire family to do? </p> <p> Ross Collins has created an ironic, laugh-out-loud story that invites you to think about accepting others—perhaps your neighbors are less different than you think. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Pox is not an ordinary germ. Sure, like other germs he takes the bubonic bus to Germ Academy, and he proves that he is unhealthy before he attends school. But Pox just doesn't understand why he should want to make a person miserable. Poor Pox is stuck at the bottom of his class. Luckily, Pox is smarter than his friends and teachers believe, and when he's sent to infect an innocent little girl named Myrtle, he makes some new friends and finds himself a much more suitable, healthy home. A delightfully silly-and educational-story from the nearly germ-free Ross Collins.<br/><br/>A hilarious and unique look at how we get sick-from the germ's point of view!<br/><br/>A Junior Library Guild Selection<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;During what turns out to be one very eventful night, a little boy named Ben is hoping to exchange his loose tooth for something special from the Tooth Fairy, but before she can do her work, she has to get past the Sandman. A turf battle ensues as some ghosts, The-Thing-Under-the-Bed, and even Santa Claus show up to create some nighttime havoc. Only when these precocious characters make enough noise to wake Ben up and hear him shout, &quot;Clear off!&quot; do they get the hint and move on to Mary's house across the street. Parents will appreciate this light-hearted approach to calming nighttime anxiety-what could be better than putting a child to sleep with a laugh and a smile? <br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
