Fifteen-year-old Maddie has won an art contest and gets to visit New York City.

On the 2014 CLA Book of the Year for Children Award shortlist New middle-grade fiction from the award-winning author of The Glory Wind Adam's summer is off to a disappointing start. His so-called "best friend" has bailed on him, choosing to stay behind to care for a sick dog, instead of joining Adam and his family at the seaside campground as planned. Adam is furious with Billy for abandoning him, impatient with his mother for her artistic obsessions, and embarrassed by his dad's lame attempts at being funny. At least an ever-changing cast of new summer friends proves to be an entertaining distraction: Joey, the shoe-thief with the cute sister; the mischievous Linden twins; enigmatic Nevin; and Ethan, the adventurer. But it is Theo, the blind gentleman up on the hill, with his magical stories of driftwood, who helps Adam to see the true nature of friendship -- and forgiveness.

Kayla could not be more excited to visit the carnival—a day filled with cotton candy and fun rides. But Kayla and her mean cousin Peter quickly discover that there's much more to be had at this particular festival. The sign at the entrance says “Magic Fair, Beware”—but will they? Humorous and imaginative, this beautifully illustrated story delivers a strong moral of not being greedy and looking out for others.

Jeska doesn't know why her mother keeps the curtains drawn so tightly every day. And what exactly is she trying to drown out when she floods the house with Mozart? What are they hiding from? When Jeska's grandmother accidentally calls her by a stranger's name, she seizes her first clue to uncovering her family's past, and hopefully to all that's gone unsaid. With the help of an old family photo album, her father's encyclopedia collection, and the unquestioning friendship of a stray cat, the silence begins to melt into frightening clarity: Jeska's family survived a terror that they’ve worked hard to keep secret all her life. And somehow, it has both nothing and everything to do with her, all at once. A true story of navigating generational trauma as a child, I'll Keep You Close is about what comes after disaster: how survivors move forward, what they bring with them when they do, and the promise of beginning again while always keeping the past close.

Maren has been very close to her mother, so she is not happy when she discovers that she will soon have a new stepfather, and when she meets his twin children she is not sure that even her three friends, Delaney, Ashley, and Willow, can pull her through--especially after the twins shave Ashley's dog Coco during a particularly disastrous sleepover.
