 All Aboard! Elijah McCoy’s Steam Engine
(Great Idea Series)
By Monica Kulling
Illustrated by Bill Slavin
ISBN 9780887769450
Jacketed Hardcover | Nonfiction
32 Pages | Ages 5-8
“All Aboard! Elijah McCoy’s Steam Engine is an intriguing and readable introduction to Elijah McCoy that whets the appetite for more, but it also touches on other thought-provoking themes such as slavery, the Underground Railroad, racial discrimination, railroad history, everyday inventions and belief in one’s own ideals…. The wonderful effervescent illustrations of Bill Slavin bring the story to life, capturing the atmosphere of the age with authenticity…. Highly recommended.” – CM Magazine

 Lulu’s Piano Lesson
By Arlene Alda
Illustrated by Lisa Desimini
ISBN 9780887769306
Jacketed Hardcover | Fiction
32 Pages | Ages 4-7
“…Many readers will identify with the young protagonist who, despite good intentions, fails to find time to practice her music. The adults in Lulu’s life are sympathetic and do not force the issue. Alda’s text is nicely paced, and Desimini’s cheery and inviting, jewel-toned, mixed-media collages provide a playful, active accompaniment. Young musicians, parents, and teachers will appreciate this compassionate book about the connections between practice and play.” – School Library Journal

 A Night on the Town
By Caroline Merola
ISBN 9781770492004
Jacketed Hardcover | Fiction
32 Pages | Ages 3-6
“… Caroline Merola’s bold illustrations saturate every page with colour and create a rich, expressive backdrop to the story. The narrative flows naturally, with light, playful dialogue and a lively pace that will make reading aloud a pleasure. Pickles McPhee and Martha made loveable, spirited heroines…. A Night on the Town is a good-natured, charmingly illustrated book – just the ticket for a vicarious nighttime romp.” – Quill & Quire

 Dear George Clooney, Please Marry My Mom
By Susin Nielsen
ISBN 9780887769771
Jacketed Hardcover | Fiction
240 Pages | Ages 11-14
“Laugh-out-loud humor deftly mixes with insight into a troubled girl’s pain over her parents’ divorce, keeping readers involved on every page…. Nielsen has real talent for comedy…. The narrative's balance tips much more into comedy than drama, but it illuminates Violet’s psychological difficulties among the laughs. Best friends, stuck-up enemies and a possible love interest for Violet spice up the story…. This comic novel scores.” – Kirkus Reviews

 Lucy Unstrung
By Carole Lazar
ISBN 9780887769634
Trade Paperback | Fiction
256 Pages | Ages 10-12
Teens who get pregnant and raise their babies are often in the news. But what about those children who are growing up with parents scarcely half a generation older than themselves? In this wise and funny first novel by Carole Lazar, Lucy is a sensible, perhaps even rigid, thirteen year old who is convinced that Grandma, God, and the Catholic Church are on her side. She tries hard to make her twenty-eight-year-old mother see the error of her ways. However, she finds that while Grandma, God, and her church are still there for her, there are problems she has to solve for herself.
