New Chapter Books

The new material has started to arrive.... 




Battle of Beasts by Columbus














The sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel, House of Secrets--hailed by J. K. Rowling as "a breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure"--this second installment is full of even more explosive twists and turns. Fans of Harry Potter and Rick Riordan books will enjoy.

Amelia Bedelia Goes Wild! 













Amelia Bedelia has moved from Easy Readers to Chapter Books. In this illustrated chapter book adventure, just right for fans of Judy Moody and Ivy + Bean, young Amelia Bedelia and her friends build a zoo in the backyard (complete with stuffed animals and attractions) and offer safari adventures to the entire neighborhood.


By the Grace of Todd by Galveston













Perfect for fans of Andrew Clements and "The Borrowers," "By the Grace of Todd" is the laugh-out-loud answer to what happens if you leave dirty laundry on the floor . . . and don't follow your mother's instructions to clean your room. 


Captain Awesome and the Missing Elephants
Captain Awesome and the Missing Elephants by Kirby 













Captain Awesome and his superhero pals must foil dastardly distractions at the zoo in this animal adventure. 

Nick and Tesla's High Voltage Danger Lab by Pflugfelder













Nick and Tesla are bright 11-year-old siblings with a knack for science, electronics, and getting into trouble. When their parents mysteriously vanish, they're sent to live with their Uncle Newt, a brilliant inventor who engineers top-secret gadgets for a classified government agency. It's not long before Nick and Tesla are embarking on adventures of their own--engineering all kinds of outrageous MacGyverish contraptions to save their skin: 9-volt burglar alarms, electromagnets, mobile tracking devices, and more. Readers are invited to join in the fun as each story contains instructions and blueprints for five different projects.













When Emily Vole inherits an abandoned shop, she discovers a magical world she never knew existed. And a fairy-hating witch, a mischievous set of golden keys, and a train full of brightly colored bunnies are just a few of the surprises that come with it. With the help of a talking cat called Fidget and a grumpy fairy detective called Buster, it is up to Emily to save the fairies and get to the bottom of Operation Bunny.

Just a few to get you interested. Stop by the new book area in the children's room to see more.
