Now a major motion picture starring Alfre Woodard, Jessica Collins, John Heard, Jacinda Barrett, Cloris Leachman, and Talitha Bateman—in theaters October 2017!
From acclaimed author Sarah Weeks comes a touching coming-of-age story about a young girl who goes on a cross-country journey to discover the truth about her parents, which the New York Times called "a remarkable novel." Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead's When You Reach Me and Ali Benjamin's The Thing About Jellyfish.
She doesn't know when her birthday is or who her father is. In fact, everything about Heidi and her mentally disabled mother's past is a mystery. When a strange word in her mother's vocabulary begins to haunt her, Heidi sets out on a cross-country journey in search of the secrets of her past.
Far away from home, pieces of her puzzling history come together. But it isn't until she learns to accept not knowing that Heidi truly arrives.

Thirteen-year-old Guy Strang’s life seems to have turned totally upside down! Not only are his parents getting divorced, but he’s also been asked out to the movies by fascinating, hair-flipping Autumn Hockney. There’s just one problem: His best friend, Buzz, will desert him forever if Guy goes soft.
Can Guy find a way to go out with Autumn without losing Buzz?
Will his brilliant plan to reunite his parents succeed?
And will he figure out what may be the most important thing of all: What the heck girls mean when they talk about “guy time”?
– The Horn Book
“…a light, lively read with a likable protagonist, and plenty of wit.”
– Booklist
“A humorous romp. Weeks is a whiz at evocative imagery, and the pictures conjured by her descriptions are just this side of antic. Guy is a funny guy.”
– Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
In this third installment of the Guy series, Guy Strang thinks nothing could be worse than his parents getting divorced, until his crazy mom drops the bomb: She’s getting remarried! And not to just anyone. Her intended is a professional clown named Jerry—Jerry Zuckerman, father of Lana Zuckerman, the meanest, toughest girl in school.
Guy and Lana have never had anything in common before, but now they have a common mission, and they come up with a wacky, hilarious plan to keep the wedding from happening.
– Booklist
Guy Strang can’t imagine life without his best friend, Buzz. They’ve been inseparable since second grade, when fate tossed them together with a little help from a bad haircut, green boxer shorts, flying rice cakes, and a couple of hard-earned nicknames. So when an accident threatens to tear them apart, Guy finds himself clinging to precious memories of a friendship better than he could have wished for.
The ups and downs and inevitable complications of friendship have never been more funny, poignant, and sweet than in this fourth installment of the Guy series.
“A clever take on the search for one’s identity”
– School Library Journal
“Funny, fast, and a good response to the question, ‘Got anything that’ll make me laugh?’ “
– Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
“A virtual chain reaction of buffoonery.”
– Publishers Weekly
Guy Strang is convinced that the man and woman with whom he has lived all his life cannot possibly be who they claim to be: his parents. They’re too weird! Would anyone else’s mother tie-dye every pair of underwear in the house? Would anyone else’s father perform the famous oyster trick – sucking an oyster up his nose with a horrible noise and spitting it out of his mouth – in a restaurant? No. Except maybe the parents of the weirdest, most unappealing kid in Guy’s whole class, Bob-o. But Bob-o’s parents are as normal as parents come – just like Guy.
Could Guy and Bob-o have been . . . switched at birth?
Oggie Cooder loves cheese so much that he carries a slice of cheese with him wherever he goes. It’s not just for a snack—Oggie is an excellent charver. (Charving is when you chew a piece of cheese to carve it in the shape of something.) The kids at school think Oggie’s charving is a little strange. But when a big TV show comes looking for people with unusual talents, Oggie is suddenly Mr. Popular. Can Oggie charve a path to fame and score an invite to the party of the year without melting under the pressure?
No matter how you slice it, you’re going to laugh when you read about one small kid becoming a really big cheese, in this hilarious combination of Oggie Cooder and Oggie Cooder, Party Animal.
Praise for Oggie Cooder
“Oggie’s adventure delivers a message about staying true to oneself, but the lesson is never cheesy; it is as light-hearted and tasty as Oggie’s charving lessons.” —Kidsreads.com
“What is refreshing is that Oggie doesn’t have to change his nature to change his social status. Gentle humor with a satisfying message for middle-grade readers.” —Kirkus Reviews
Oggie Cooder has never set foot (or swim fin) in his neighbor Donnica Perfecto’s swimming pool. But now he has his chance—it’s Donnica’s birthday, and her mom has forced her to invite Oggie to the pool party! Donnica, though, isn’t about to let this happen. She has a plan to keep Oggie away. But what she doesn’t count on is the power of Oggie’s charving, an unexpected visit from a local rock band, a creative use of a cherry picker, a dog that tweets like a bird, and a boy in a bear suit whose identity will change everything when it’s revealed.
“A fast-paced chapter book with cheerful cartoon illustrations provided by Holgate, this can easily be read on its own and will certainly win Oggie new fans.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A truly delightful story.” —Kidsreads.com
Oggie Cooder has a talent—he can charve better than anyone else in Truman Elementary School. (Charving, for the uninitiated, is the carving of a piece of cheese with one’s teeth.) Oggie doesn’t think this is anything special—but his whole school will soon be disagreeing with him. Because after he inadvertently charves during a nationwide hunt for unusual talents, his charving puts him on the path to fame and fortune. Suddenly, he’s the star of the school . . . but he’s not sure that he wants to shine that way.
This is Sarah Weeks at her best—funny, clever, and kid-friendly.
