Perfect for reading aloud, this spare, charming picture book about a day in the life of a pill bug in suburbia is also about an unusual friendship. Hank is a pill bug with a busy life—for a pill bug, that is. His daily routine involves nibbling a dead leaf, climbing up a long stick, avoiding a skateboarder, and playing pretend with his best friend, a human girl named Amelia, in her backyard. And when day is done, Hank likes nothing better than returning home to his cozy rock.

A pulsing ball of light gives two kids the astonishing ability to bring things back to life in this “eerie and hopeful” (Kirkus Reviews) and hugely fun look at what they’ll do to make their family whole again, from the author of The Last Invisible Boy. After a lightning strike, when twin brother and sister Fenton and Fiona find a ball of light in their backyard, things get…weird. Especially when Fenton figures out it can bring things back to life. Everything from bugs, to trees, to their old dog Scruffy, to…well…people. Namely, their grandfather. Because they really do miss him, and more than that, their father and their grandfather have unsettled business to take care of. But be warned: bringing things back from the dead gets a little more complicated when they stick around.

One new brother--assembly required. A "page-turner filled with fun, intrigue, and suspense" (Kirkus Reviews) from the author of The Last Invisible Boy. Matt Rambeau is officially a big brother--to a robot Matt''s super-computer-genius dad is always getting cool tech stuff in the mail, but the latest box Matt opens contains the most impressive thing he''s ever seen: a bionically modified lifeform that looks human and calls Matt "brother" (in French) Norman turns out to be a bit of an attention hog and a showoff, but Matt''s still psyched to have a robotic sibling--even if he flirts with (ugh) girls. Then strange things start to happen. First a computer worm causes Norman to go berserk, and then odd men start showing up in unusual places. Matt soon realizes that someone is trying to steal the robot--correction--his brother In this zany, action-packed story with spies, skateboards, and plenty of artificial intelligence, acclaimed author Evan Kuhlman gets to the heart (and motherboard) of one of the most special relationships known to man (or machine): brotherhood.

Spione tragen keine Schlapphüte! "Ich habe einen neuen Bruder. - Sein Name ist Nick. - Er kam vor sechs Wochen mit der Post. - Damit fing der Ärger an." Bens super genialer Computerfreak-Vater bekommt zwar ständig lauter cooles Zeug geschickt, aber als Ben das neueste Paket öffnet, ist selbst er platt. So etwas hat die Welt wirklich noch nicht gesehen: ein bionisch geformtes, technisches Wesen, das ausschaut wie ein Junge! Ziemlich geniale Sache, denkt Ben zuerst, aber dann flippt sein neuer Bruder aus, weil er sich einen Virus eingefangen hat und finstere Typen tauchen plötzlich aus dem Nichts auf. Und jetzt muss Ben beweisen, dass er mindestens so genial ist wie sein Vater und so perfekt wie sein neuer Bruder! Evan Kuhlman war Reporter und Restaurantmanager, bevor er anfing Bücher zu schreiben. Er wurde seither mit dem Short-Story Award for New Writers ausgezeichnet, mit mehreren Journalistenpreisen und sein Debutroman wurde für den Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis nominiert.

No university affiliations. No half-truths. No out-of-touch authors who haven''t been in school for decades. A class project turned company, College Prowler produces guidebooks that are written by actual college students and cover the things students really want to know. Unlike other guides that jam everything into a five-pound book and devote only two pages to each college, our single-school guidebooks give students only the schools they want and all the information they need. From academics and diversity to nightlife and sports, we let the students tell it how it is. In addition to editorial reviews and grades for 20 different topics, more than 80 percent of each guide is composed of actual student reviews of their school. Whether readers are looking for "Best and Worst" lists, "Did You Knows?" or traditions, College Prowler guides have it all. Our books are the only place for local slang, urban legends, and tips on the best places to find a date, study, or grab a bite to eat.

With the humanity and intimacy of "Ordinary People," this novel reinvents a classic narrative archetype to follow a young family coping with staggering loss. A graphic-novel subplot adds both humor and visual interest to this moving tale of hope and redemption. Illustrations.
