The first book in a hilarious chapter book series about an accidental rule breaker from Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal–winning and bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan, Endling, and Wishtree.
When his classmates can’t sit still for a big performance at school, Roscoe Riley takes matters into his own hands with a liberal dose of Super-Mega-Gonzo Glue—which his mom calls the don’t-you-dare glue because Roscoe isn’t supposed to use it.
Roscoe doesn’t mean to break the rules—he just can’t help himself! After all, his teacher’s job might be at stake and desperate times call for desperate measures.
Roscoe and his comical misadventures will appeal to fans of Megan McDonald’s Stink series; Nancy Krulik’s George Brown, Class Clown series; Rebecca Elliott’s Owl Diaries series; and Dan Gutman’s My Weirder School series.

Seeing him again brings back a flood of memories both happy and sad of her life before the circus, and she recounts the time she spent in the African savannah to Ivan and Bob.
In the timeless way that only Katherine Applegate could craft, this highly anticipated novel in verse is the perfect mix of heartfelt and humorous, poignant and sweet.

The earth is old and we are not, and that is all you must remember . . .
Eleven-year-old Willodeen adores creatures of all kinds, but her favourites are the most unlovable beasts in the land: strange beasts known as 'screechers'. The villagers of Perchance call them pests, even monsters, but Willodeen believes the animals serve a vital role in the complicated web of nature.
Lately, though, nature has seemed angry indeed. Perchance has been cursed with fires and mudslides, droughts and fevers, and even the annual migration of hummingbears, a source of local pride and income, has dwindled. For as long as anyone can remember, the tiny animals have overwintered in shimmering bubble nests perched atop blue willow trees, drawing tourists from far and wide. This year, however, not a single hummingbear has returned to Perchance, and no one knows why.
When a handmade birthday gift brings unexpected magic to Willodeen and her new friend, Connor, she's determined to speak up for the animals she loves, and perhaps even uncover the answer to the mystery of the missing hummingbears.
A timely and timeless tale about our fragile earth, and one girl's fierce determination to make a difference.
Die Natur weiß mehr als wir
Willodeen liebt Tiere aller Art, aber ihre Lieblinge sind die unansehnlichen Kreischer. Die Bewohner von Purchance haben sie kurzerhand ausgerottet. Viel lieber haben sie die niedlichen Summbärchen, die jedes Jahr im Dorf überwintern und Touristen aus nah und fern anziehen. Doch dieses Jahr ist kein einziges zurückgekehrt, und niemand weiß, warum. Als ein selbst gebasteltes Geschenk ihres Freundes Connor für Willodeen unerwartet magisch wird, glaubt sie, dass es einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Leben der Kreischer und der Summbärchen geben könnte und dass alle Tiere eine wichtige Rolle im komplizierten Netz der Natur spielen. Willodeen setzt alles daran, die Kreischer zurückzubringen, denn nur so kann ihr Dorf überleben.

For Tobias, the fight against the Yeerks is more pressing than ever -- not just for humankind, but for his own humanity.

Rachel is still reeling from the news that Earth is secretly under attack by parasitic aliens, the Yeerks. Now she and her friends are the planet's only defense -- five kids who, purely by chance, stumbled onto a downed spacecraft and were given the power to morph into any animals they touch.
The team’s best lead is their assistant principal, Mr. Chapman, who is the human host to a high-ranking Yeerk official. It’s not much, but Rachel’s always been a daredevil, and she volunteers to infiltrate Chapman’s home.
Rachel is tough. She’s fearless. But what she finds inside may be more than even she can handle.
Das letzte große Abenteuer der Gefährten
Während ihrer Abenteuer in Nedarra und Dreyland wurde Byx und ihren vier Freunden eines bewusst: Krieg liegt in der Luft. Khara, inzwischen aufgestiegen zur Führerin der exilierten Familienclans, scharrt Freiwillige um sich, die die Friedenstruppen bilden. Gemeinsam wollen sie das Töten verhindern. Vor allem durch kluge Strategie und Verhandlungen. So wird Byx als Botschafterin zu den Wasserwesen entsandt und sorgt dafür, dass der Krieg zur See unterbunden wird. Die riesigen fliegenden Raptidons machen mithilfe kleiner gewitzter Wesen eine ganze Armee handlungsunfähig. Doch wird es den Freunden wirklich gelingen, den Krieg aufzuhalten? Mutig sind sie bereit, mit Kreativität und Fantasie für eine bessere Welt zu kämpfen.
Al principio, la misión de Byx era descubrir si había más miembros de su especie o si estaba destinada a convertirse en una superviviente, la última dairne con vida.
Aunque Byx encontró otros dairnes como ella e hizo nuevos amigos y aliados, pronto se dio cuenta de que no sólo los dairnes estaban en peligro de extinción, sino que todos, animales y humanos, corrían el mismo riesgo. En esta última aventura, y con el mundo ante una amenaza sin precedentes, Byx habrá de reunir a criaturas de todas las especies para liderar una revolución.
La conclusión de la trilogía La superviviente nos ofrece una vez más una historia fantástica y llena de acción con un entorno único y personajes fascinantes.
Et surtout, c’était avant qu’elle ne rencontre Khara, Renzo, Tobble et Gambler, sa nouvelle famille.
Aujourd’hui, Byx est devenue l’ambassadrice de l’Armée de la Paix. Sa mission ? Trouver des alliés aux quatre coins du royaume.
Accompagnée de son ami Tobble, Byx devra se montrer convaincante et faire preuve d’un courage sans faille. Car le sort de Nedarra est désormais entre ses mains…
