The Book of Nonsense
By David Michael Slater
The book is ancient, ravaged and full of utter nonsense. But the moment it enters Daphna and Dexter’s lives, bizarre things begin to happen. Why is their father, who found the book, suddenly so distant? Is the old man who took it from him some kind of hypnotist? Why is a giant, red-eyed boy menacing them? And what does their thirteenth birthday have to do with all this? Daphna and Dexter can’t stand each other, but they’ll have to work together to learn the truth about the Book of Nonsense—before their lives unravel completely.

The Emerald Tablet
By P.J. Hoover
Benjamin and his best friend Andy love being different from the
other kids. They like being able to read each others minds and use
their telekinesis to play tricks. In fact, they are getting set to spend
their entire summer doing just that when Benjamin’s mirror starts
talking. Suddenly, he’s looking at eight weeks of summer school
someplace that can only be reached by a teleporter hidden in his
hallway. And the summer only gets stranger.
At school, Benjamin discovers that he isn’t really human but something
called a telegen. It turns out that the powers he always thought
made him special only make him normal. But then the mysterious
Emerald Tablet chooses him as its champion, and all chances of a
uneventful (well, as uneventful as summer school on a hidden, submerged
continent can be) disappears.

Dragon Wishes
By Stacy Nyikos
Alex and Isa’s world has been turned upside down by their parents’ deaths. They’ve had to leave their homes in Oklahoma to live with their Uncle Norbert and Aunt Ling in San Francisco. They’re both having trouble adjusting. Five-year-old Isa has stopped talking, and artistic eleven-year-old Alex can’t seem
to draw anything but dead trees. Alex doesn’t seem to fit into her new life, and she doesn’t want to. The only thing she seems to connect with is the bedtime story Aunt Ling tells each night. All Alex dreams of is going back home to Oklahoma. Will she finally realize her dream, or will she finally accept her new life?

Knowing Joseph
By Judy Mammay
Brian would give anything to have a normal six-year-old brother — one who doesn’t scream that normal sounds are too loud, or a brother who would play with other kids. Instead, he has Joseph, his autistic brother.
Life with Joseph isn’t easy. Brian constantly finds himself defending Joseph from kids that understand Joseph even less than Brian does. It takes a new friend and a school project before Brian can begin to know Joseph.
