Admittedly the tile was slipperier than usual, mostly because Butterbean had just thrown up on it. Now Butterbean and her fellow pets have to come up with a grand plan to support themselves in case Mrs. Food is unable to keep taking care of them. Can these animal friends can pull off the heist of the century?

Maureen and Francine are growing apart and there’s nothing Maureen can do to stop it. Are sisters really forever? Or will middle school change things for good?
Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet by Zanib Mian & Nasaya Mafaridik

As if I didn’t have a hard enough time staying out of trouble at home, now I’ve also got to try and make new friends. What’s worse, the class bully seems to think I’m the perfect target and has made it his mission to send me back to Pakistan. But I’ve never even been to Pakistan!

But Ryan is a girl who knows how to make sunshine out of setbacks. Because Ryan is all about trying to see the best.
