New Kid's Books August 3rd

Justin Case by Rachel Vail

It's the start of the school year, and nothing feels right

to Justin.  He didn't get the teacher he wanted, he's not

in the same class as his best friend, and his little sister,

Elizabeth, is starting kindergarten at his school.  Elizabeth

doesn't seem nervous at all.  Justin is very nervous about

third grade.  And to top it off, he's lost his favorite stuffed animal,

but he can't tell anyone, because technically, he's too old

to still have stuffed animals. Right?

Trading Faces by Julia DeVillers and Jennifer Roy

On the first day of seventh grade, twin sisters

 Payton and Emma have been assigned entirely different

schedules - for the first time ever.  Without telling anyone, the twins

switch places: Cool Payton goes incognito as quiet Emma, while mathlete 

Emma impersonates fashionista Payton.

No one - from their new teachers to

their clueless classmates - realizes they've made a switch.

The twins quickly find out that playing a different role in life

can be a lot of fun - and that no one is exactly the person

the rest of the world thinks they are.

Spot it again! by Delphine Chedru

Where are the creatures hiding? Look closer..little animals 

lurk on every bright and colorful page of this beautiful

seek-and-find treat.  Can you find each of the hidden

animals?

Energy Island by Allan Drummond

The island of Samso in Denmark was once a very

ordinary place, and the people who lived there were

ordinary, too.  In fact, the only thing that made Samso

unusual at all was that it was very, very windy.

Then the ordinary citizens of this ordinary island

decided to do something extraordinary: they drastically

reduced their carbon emissions and became almost

completely energy independent.  And they did it all

with the help of the wind!

This inspiring true story proves that, with a big

idea and a lot of hard work, anyone can make

a huge step toward energy conservation.
