CELEBRATING 150 YEARS
Dear fellow reader,
We are bursting with pride to be celebrating our sesquicentennial—150 years of publishing

books for young readers—in 2014. It means that HMH (called Hurd & Houghton at the
time) started publishing books for “boys and girls” during the Civil War—an incredibly rare
and enduring legacy. Many of our books have won awards, many have been bestsellers, and,
best of all, many have made a real difference in the lives of children and adults.
It’s exciting to consider that in 2014 we stand on the broad shoulders of colleagues who
came before us, publishing wonderful books such as these since 1864. This catalog contains
our new titles for Spring 2014, joining a long line of terrific books for children of all ages.
Thank you for your support in helping us achieve this historic milestone in our history
together, and, of course, here’s to 150 more glorious years!
Please celebrate with us as we start our sesquicentennial year with the Spring 2014 list.
Kind regards,
Betsy Groban

Five Little Monkeys Reading in Bed

Eileen Christelow
After their mama reads to them, it's bedtime for the Five Little Monkeys. But they can't
resist reading just one more book . . . or three! Soon Mama is so tired of trying to get
her monkeys to quiet down and go to sleep, she picks up their books and takes them
with her. At last, the monkeys are ready to settle down . . . until they hear strange
sounds from down the hall. Could it be that Mama likes to read in bed too?
This playful addition to the Five Little Monkeys series features a lively rhymed verse
and catchy refrain that's sure to keep young readers chanting along.
Eileen Christelow has created many picture books for Clarion, including the best-selling Five
Little Monkeys series, Vote!, and two books about Emma, the Desperate Dog. She and her
husband, Ahren, live in East Dummerston, Vermont. For more information visit

Big Bad Bubble

Adam Rubin, illustrated by Daniel Salmieri
An ordinary bubble may seem pretty harmless to you. To the monsters of La La Land,

learn to confront their fears and triumph over the bubbles! An original, offbeat, and
giggle-inducing take on conquering fears from the New York Times best-selling team
responsible for the groundbreaking Those Darn Squirrels! books.

Tiny Rabbit's Big Wish

Margarita Engle, illustrated by David Walker
Tiny rabbit dreams of growing as big as the forest and as tall as the trees, yet no matter
how hard he wishes, he stays the same small size. But in a jungle filled with beasts both

Afro-Cuban folk tales, the award-winning author Margarita Engle wrote this charming
picture book in honor of every child's favorite springtime animal.

Margarita Engle is a Cuban American poet and novelist whose work has been published in many
countries. Her books include The Surrender Tree, a Newbery Honor book, as well as The Poet

The Troublemaker
Lauren Castillo
Bored and restless on a summer day, a little boy steals his sister’s bunny and sends it on
an adventure. He is well satisfied with the results—until his own stuffed animal
disappears. Could it be that he is not the only troublemaker around . . . ?
A case of sibling rivalry is neatly resolved with the “assistance” of a hilarious raccoon
in Lauren Castillo’s warm, simple text and gorgeous classic illustrations.
Lauren Castillo is the illustrator of several acclaimed picture books. This is the second she has
both written and illustrated. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, and you can also find her at

The Emperor's New Clothes

Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by Virginia Lee Burton
Illustrated by the beloved creator of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, The Little House,
and Katy and the Big Snow, this is a delightful version of the tale that boys and girls have
loved for centuries. The Emperor himself, his court, and his clothes—or lack of them—
are as outrageous and comical as only the master storyteller Hans Christian Andersen
can make them, and Virginia Lee Burton adds to this tale of fun her own irrepressible
humor in pictures and design.
This lovely new Folk Tale Classics edition celebrates Burton’s lively concoction of
remarkable spirit and beauty.
Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) was a prolific Danish author and poet best known for his
fairy tales. His stories have crossed all limitations of time and space, having been translated into
more than 125 languages, and have become an integral part of children’s literature worldwide.
Virginia Lee Burton (1909–1968) was the talented author and illustrator of some of the most
enduring books ever written for children. The winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for The Little
House, Burton was the author of many classic children’s picture books, including Mike Mulligan
and His Steam Shovel and Katy and the Big Snow.

Martha takes the class under her wing—er, paw—but Helen's not sure their friendship

The Miss Nelson Collection

Harry G. Allard and James Marshall
More than forty years ago Viola Swamp slinked into Room 207 at Horace B. Smedley
School and whipped Miss Nelson's terrible, rude, worst-class-in-the-whole-school
students into shape. In the intervening generations since the publication of Miss Nelson
Is Missing!, millions of children have been fascinated by the legend of Miss Swamp. A
diabolical creation from the minds of Harry G. Allard and James Marshall, Miss Nelson's
alter ego illuminates the folly of misbehavior through amazing feats of disguise. And
she's never been more hilarious than now!
For the first time ever, Miss Nelson Is Missing!, Miss Nelson Is Back, and Miss Nelson Has a
Field Day are available in one volume. This comical, collectable treasury of stories
is a must-have for teachers and their mischievous students everywhere.
Harry G. Allard and James Marshall collaborated on three books about Miss Nelson and her
students, as well as four books about the incompetent and hilarious Stupid family. James Marshall
is also the creator of George and Martha and was posthumously awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder
medal for his lasting contribution to literature for children in 2007.

Eye to Eye
How Animals See The World
Steve Jenkins
In his latest eye-popping work of picture book nonfiction, the Caldecott Honor–
winning author-illustrator Steve Jenkins explains how for most animals, eyes are the
most important source of information about the world in a biological sense. The
simplest eyes—clusters of light-sensitive cells—appeared more than one billion years
ago, and provided a big survival advantage to the first creatures that had them. Since
then, animals have evolved an amazing variety of eyes, along with often surprising ways
to use them.
Steve Jenkins has written and illustrated nearly twenty picture books for young readers, including
the Caldecott Honor–winning What Do You Do with a Tail Like This?. He lives in Colorado with
his wife and frequent collaborator, Robin Page, and their children. Visit

The Race to Save Africa's Fastest Cat
by Sy Montgomery, photographs by Nic Bishop
Since the year 1900, cheetah footprints quickly dwindled in African dirt as the species
plummeted from more than 100,000 to fewer than 10,000. At the Cheetah
Conservation Fund's (CCF) African headquarters in Namibia, Laurie Marker and her
team save these stunning, swift, and slender creatures from extinction. Since the
organization's start in 1990, they've rescued more than 900 cheetahs, most of whom
have been returned to the wild.
Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop join CCF in studying the cheetah's ecological,
genetic, and behavioral patterns in order to chase down the fastest animal on land and
save the species—before it is too late.

Sniffer Dogs
How Dogs (and Their Noses) Save the World
Nancy Castaldo
Anyone who has ever spent time with a dog knows that dogs love sniffing! They sniff
out hidden food, dirty socks, and the visitor who comes to the door. But some dogs
work with police officers, soldiers, and even scientists to put their "sniffers" to
work. Sniffer dogs make use of the amazing biology behind their noses to protect
people from bombs, catch criminals smuggling drugs, or help researchers locate a hard
to find snail in a forest.
In Sniffer Dogs you will meet many dogs and their handlers and learn all about their
jobs. Some of these dogs are raised from birth to detect blood sugar levels in their
owners. Others are rescued from animal shelters and their boisterous personalities help
make them excellent sniffer dogs. Featuring a balance between science and social
science, Sniffer Dogs will appeal to dog lovers and science lovers alike.
Nancy Castaldo lives in New York state near the Adirondacks (Chatham, New York) and is the
regional advisor for SCBWI-Eastern New York. She is also a photographer. She has a husband,
daughter, and a huge English goldendoodle named Gatsby.

experience” lands him as a material witness in the police station with his librarian dad,
which is where the NYPD first discovers Edmund’s photographic memory and uncanny
sketch-artist abilities. Things get downright dangerous when Edmund is recruited to
help track down the infamous Picasso Gang that’s casing New York City’s famous
Museum Mile. This fast-paced, character-driven middle grade debut, first of a promised
pair, is as funny as it is suspenseful.
When Marcia Wells discovered the crime writing of Jorge Luis Borges in graduate school, she was

replace all the parents in town!—and the power to carry them out. Comedy and fantasy

Cold Calls
Charles Benoit
Three high school students—Eric, Shelly, and Fatima—have one thing in common: “I
know your secret.”
Each one is blackmailed into bullying specifically targeted schoolmates by a
mysterious caller who whispers from their cell phones and holds carefully guarded
secrets over their heads. But how could anyone have obtained that photo, read those
hidden pages, uncovered this buried past? Thrown together, the three teens join forces
to find the stranger who threatens them—before time runs out and their shattering
secrets are revealed . . .
This suspenseful, pitch-perfect mystery-thriller raises timely questions about
privacy, bullying, and culpability.
The Edgar-nominated author Charles Benoit is a former high school teacher and author of three
adult mysteries as well as the teen novels Fall from Grace and You. He lives in Rochester, New
York. Visit his website at www.charlesbenoit.com or follow him on Twitter (@BenoitTheWriter).

A Death-Struck Year
Makiia Lucier
For Cleo Berry, the Spanish influenza devastating the East Coast feels far from the
safety of Portland, Oregon. But then the disease comes west. Headstrong and foolish,
seventeen-year-old Cleo is determined to ride out the pandemic at home rather than in
her quarantined boarding school. But when the Red Cross pleads for volunteers, she
can't ignore the call. In the grueling days that follow her decision, she risks everything
for near strangers. Strangers like Edmund, a handsome medical student. Strangers who
could be gone tomorrow. And as the bodies pile up, Cleo can't help but wonder when
her own luck will run out?
Makiia Lucier’s journalistic skills shine in this riveting historical fiction debut. She has a master’s
degree in library and information science from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, where she
studied literature for children. She lives in Moscow, Idaho, with her family.

Barbarian Lord
Matt Smith
“A sword untried is a sword untested,” says one raven to another as they set out to
witness the fate of the finest farm in Garmrland and its owner, Barbarian Lord. When
he is cheated out of his lands and banished, Barbarian Lord begins a quest for allies and
for justice, encountering monsters, ghouls, gods, and mediocre poets along the way.
Combining the rich traditions of the Vikings and Nordic lore with sword-and-
sorcery—and slyly understated humor—this graphic novel introduces an original hero
with classic flair, brought to life in Matt Smith’s beautifully drawn, detailed, and action-
filled black-and-white illustrations.
Matt Smith drew his first Conan the Barbarian adventure when was eight years old. A children’s
book illustrator fascinated by traditional lore and comic book heroes, Matt lives with his wife and
their dog in Lexington, Massachusetts. Visit his website at www.barbarianlord.com. Find Barbarian
Lord on Facebook, or follow him on Twitter (@barbarianlord).

Ida M. Tarbell
The Woman Who Challenged Big Business--and Won!
Emily Arnold McCully
Born in 1857 and raised in oil country, Ida M. Tarbell was one of the first investigative
journalists and probably the most influential in her time. Her series of articles on the
Standard Oil Trust, a complicated business empire run by John D. Rockefeller, revealed
to readers the underhanded, even illegal practices that had led to Rockefeller's success.
Rejecting the term "muckraker" to describe her profession, she went on to achieve
remarkable prominence for a woman of her generation as a writer and shaper of public
opinion. This biography offers an engrossing portrait of a trailblazer in a man's world
who left her mark on the American consciousness. Notes, bibliography, index.
Emily Arnold McCully is known primarily as an artist. The illustrator of more than forty books
for young readers, she received the Caldecott Medal for Mirette on the High Wire. She is
also passionate about history, particularly on feminist subjects, and makes her YA debut with this
biography. She divides her time between Chatham, New York, and New York City.

Silver People
Voices from the Panama Canal
Margarita Engle
One hundred years ago, the world celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal, which
connected the world's two largest oceans and signaled America's emergence as a global
superpower. It was a miracle, this path of water where a mountain had stood—and
creating a miracle is no easy thing. Thousands lost their lives, and those who survived
worked under the harshest conditions for only a few silver coins a day.
From the young "silver people" whose backbreaking labor built the canal, to
the denizens of the endangered rainforest itself, this is the story of one of the largest
and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, as only the Newbery Honor–
winning author Margarita Engle could tell it.
Margarita Engle is a Cuban American poet and novelist whose work has been published in many
countries. Her books include The Surrender Tree, a Newbery Honor book and winner of the Jane
Addams Children's Book Award, the Pura Belpré Award, the Américas Award, and the Claudia
Lewis Poetry Award; The Poet Slave of Cuba, winner of the Pura Belpré Award and the Américas
Award; Tropical Secrets, The Firefly Letters; Hurricane Dancers; The Wild Book; and The Lightning
Dreamer. She lives with her husband in Northern California. Visit her at

Laura L. Sullivan
In 1938, Germany is no place for a half-Jewish girl, so teenage cabaret singer Hannah
goes to the grand country estate of Starkers, where she expects to be received as a
distant relative. British bombshell Anna is supposed to enter the household as a kitchen
maid and spy for her father’s Nazi sympathizer friends. But there’s a mix-up. When
Anna is introduced as family and Hannah is banished to the kitchen, the novel erupts
into a delightful and suspenseful comedy of errors. Romance, history, and philosophy
sparkle and waltz in this brilliant new book from Laura Sullivan.
Laura L. Sullivan is a former newspaper editor, biologist, social worker, and deputy sheriff. Her

A Creature of Moonlight
Rebecca Hahn
Sixteen-year-old Marni lives with her Gramps in a one-room shack, cultivating a
magnificent flower garden that attracts villagers and noblemen alike. Only the invasive
blue dragon flowers in her garden belie Marni’s secret: She is the niece of the king and
the daughter of a dragon. When events force Marni to claim her rightful place as
princess in her uncle’s court, King Roderick eyes the dragon-born girl with suspicion,
blaming her for the enchanted, rapidly encroaching woods that are destroying his
kingdom. Will the king kill Marni, as he did her mother, or will Marni get her revenge
first? A rich, compelling fantasy for the wild at heart.
Rebecca Hahn grew up in Iowa, attended college in Minnesota, and then moved to New York
City where she worked in book publishing and wrote her debut novel A Creature of Moonlight. She
now lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the winter cold, the wide sky, and many whispering
trees.

Dirt Bikes, Drones, and Other Ways to

Fly
Seventeen-year-old Arlo Santiago lives for the “Drone Zone”—that free, joyful, anti-
gravity feeling. He achieves the Zone with risky motorcycle stunts on New Mexico
roads, or while playing his favorite video game, Drone Pilot. His gaming skills are so off-
the-charts, he’s recruited by the U.S. Air Force to remotely operate real-life drones in
Pakistan. How can he refuse the paycheck when his little sister’s health is at stake? This
pull-no-punches novel’s poetic style, focus on friends and family, philosophical life-and-
death musings, and vividly drawn setting of a land “at the intersection of mesa dust and
tractor rust” make it soar.
Conrad Wesselhoeft has worked on the editorial staff of five newspapers and is the author of

Never Smile at a Monkey

And 17 Other Important Things to Remember
Steve Jenkins
“Visually stunning.”—School Library Journal, starred review
When it comes to wild animals, everyone knows that there are certain things you just
don’t do. It's clearly a bad idea to tease a tiger, pull a python's tail, or bother a black
widow spider. But do you know how dangerous it can be to pet a platypus, collect a
cone shell, or touch a tang fish? Some creatures have developed unusual ways of
protecting themselves or catching prey, which can make them unexpectedly hazardous
to your health.
In this dynamic and fascinating picture book by Steve Jenkins, you'll find out
what you should never do if you encounter one of these surprisingly dangerous animals.
Steve Jenkins lives with his wife, Robin Page, and their three children in Colorado. He is the

Jackalope
Susan Stevens Crummel and Janet Stevens
“A roaring good time.”—School Library Journal

You see, the jackalope didn't start out with horns. First he was a plain old hare. You
know, a jackrabbit. The horns came later, along with a corny fairy godrabbit and a
cranky coyote. And the trouble those horns brought—hoooo-wee!
With a gut-busting brew of sassy storytelling and outrageous art, Janet
Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel finally give the jackalope his due. After all, he's
long been part of American legend—isn't it time to tell the real story?
Janet Stevens is the author and illustrator of many popular books for children. Her picture books
have garnered such awards as a Caldecott Honor, a Texas Bluebonnet Award, an ABBY Honor, and

Comedies, Tragedies (and What the Neighbors Thought)
Kathleen Krull, illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt
* "There's enough substance here for a quick report or to enliven a longer one. . . . An
irresistible package."—Library Journal, starred review

Shakespeare wrote with a feather quill and ink; Emily Dickinson wrote with a fountain
pen; Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote on a Yiddish typewriter. But what did such writers do
when they weren't writing? What did Jane Austen eat for breakfast? What could make
Mark Twain throw his shirts out the window? Why would Zora Neale Hurston punch a
fellow elevator passenger? Lives of the Writers tells all that and more.

Masterpieces, Messes (and What the Neighbors Thought)

"Fresh, spirited, and unconventional."—Kirkus Reviews

Most people can name some famous artists and recognize their best-known works. But
what's behind all that painting, drawing, and sculpting? What was Leonardo da Vinci's
snack of choice while he painted Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile? Why did Georgia
O'Keeffe find bones so appealing? Who called Diego Rivera "Frog-Face"? And what is it
about artists that makes both their work and their lives so fascinating—to themselves,
to their curious neighbors, and to all of us? This book presents the humor and the
tragedy in twenty artists' lives as no biography has done before.

Exploring Nature's Mysteries from Perilous Places

"Kids who need convincing that science isn't all white coats and test tubes will have
their eyes opened here." —The Bulletin
Scientists in the Field to the extreme! When Paul Flaherty goes to work, he climbs into a
four-engine WP-3D Orion turboprop plane and heads directly into the eye of a
hurricane. Miles below, Hazel Barton's job in microbiology takes her to the depths of
the world's most treacherous caves. And on the other side of the topsoil, way, way
above the forest floor, Stephen Sillett passes his days (and sometimes his nights) in the
canopies of the tallest trees on earth. Welcome to the work—and worlds—of extreme
scientists.
Donna M. Jackson is an award-winning author of nonfiction books for children and holds a
master's degree in journalism from the University of Colorado at Boulder. When she's not writing

Wild Horse Scientists

Kay Frydenborg
*"The photography is outstanding, and the images of horses going about their daily
business put them front and center. . . . A worthy complement to most collections."—
School Library Journal, starred review
Wild horses have roamed the shores of Assateague Island for centuries. As their
population increases, however, they risk damaging the delicate area's ecosystem and
being taken off the island. Dr. Ron Keiper and Dr. Jay Kirkpatrick have each made these
wild horses their lives' work.
Descriptive prose, solid science, and never-before-seen images of the
reclusive Assateague herds reveal their fierce and untamed beauty.
Kay Frydenborg fell in love with horses at an early age, and now she often writes about them.
She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and three dogs, and rides her beloved horse, Remy,
almost every day. She is the author of Animal Therapist (Chelsea House, 2006) and They Dreamed
of Horses (Walker & Co., 1994). Wild Horse Scientists is her first book for Houghton Mifflin. Visit

“Another rewarding chapter book from the Lemonade War series.”—Booklist
Jessie and Evan Treski have waged a lemonade war, sought justice in a class trial, and
even unmasked a bell thief. Now they are at opposite ends over the right to keep

scandal makes good news. When anonymously sent candy hearts appear in Class 4-0,
self-appointed ace reporter Jessie determines to get the scoop on class crushes.

The Lemonade War Spanish edition

Jacqueline Davies, translated by F. Isabel Campoy and Alma Flor Ada
Fourth-grader Evan Treski is people-smart. He is good at talking with people, even
grownups. His younger sister, Jessie, (also in fourth grade), on the other hand, is math-
smart—but not especially good at understanding people. She knows that feelings are
her weakest subject. So when their lemonade war begins, there really is no telling who
will win—and even more important, if their fight will ever end.
Available for the first time in Spanish, by the award-winning translators Alma Flor
Ada and F. Isabel Campoy, here is Jacqueline Davies's clever blend of humor, math fun,
and business smarts. As it captures the one-of-a-kind bond between brother and sister,
this poignant novel subtly explores how arguments can escalate beyond anyone's
intent.

To Blood and Bone Alley, home of leech, barber-surgeon, and apothecary, comes
Matilda, raised by a priest to be pious and learned, and now destined to assist Red Peg

Frogged
Vivian Vande Velde
"Princess-loving girls will be charmed by this story." —School Library Journal
One should be able to say of a princess "She was as good as she was beautiful,"
according to The Art of Being a Princess, which almost-thirteen-year-old Princess
Imogene is supposed to be reading. Not feeling particularly good, or all that beautiful,
she heads for a nearby pond, where, unfortunately, a talking frog tricks her into kissing
him. No prince appears, as one might expect. Instead, the princess turns into a frog
herself! Thus launches a funny, wonderfully spun fractured fairy tale in which Imogene
wonders if she will be forever frogified.
Vivian Vande Velde has written many highly acclaimed books for teen and middle grade readers,
including Three Good Deeds, Heir Apparent, Deadly Pink, and the Edgar Award–winning Never
Trust a Dead Man. She lives in Rochester, New York. Visit her website at

They Called Themselves the K.K.K.

The Birth of an American Terrorist Group
Susan Campbell Bartoletti
* "Bartoletti tackles a tough, grim subject with firmness and sensitivity. . . . Exemplary in
scholarship, interpretation, and presentation." —Horn Book, starred review
Boys, let us get up a club. With those words, six restless young men raided the linens at a
friend's mansion, pulled pillowcases over their heads, hopped on horses, and cavorted
through the streets of Pulaski, Tennessee. The friends named their club the Ku Klux
Klan, and, all too quickly, their club grew into the self-proclaimed Invisible Empire with
secret dens spread across the South. Filled with chilling and vivid personal accounts
unearthed from oral histories, congressional documents, and diaries, this is a book to
read and remember.
Susan Campbell Bartoletti pored over 8,027 pages of congressional testimony, 2,300 slave
narratives, contemporaneous newspapers, and diaries. It is her hope that these stories told will
stand in memorial to the great courage of the Klan victims and of all freed slaves and to the
pivotal role they played in American history. www.scbartoletti.com

Dark Triumph
His Fair Assassins, Book II
Robin LaFevers
*"Sybella's an incredibly strong protagonist with whom readers will identify."—SLJ,
starred review
The convent views Sybella, naturally skilled in the arts of both death and seduction, as
one of their most dangerous weapons. But those assassin's skills are little comfort when
the convent returns her home to the life that nearly drove her mad. And while Sybella is
a weapon of justice wrought by the god of death himself, he must give her a reason to
live. When she discovers an unexpected ally imprisoned in the dungeons, will a
daughter of Death find something other than vengeance to live for?
Robin LaFevers was raised on a steady diet of fairy tales, Bulfinch’s Mythology, and nineteenth-
century poetry. It is not surprising that she grew up to be a hopeless romantic. She was lucky
enough to find her one true love, and is living happily ever after with him in the foothills of
Southern California. Visit her website at www.robinlafevers.com.

"Nail-biting suspense, magically-written characters and plot twists that no one sees
coming . . . you'll devour every minute of it."—Teenreads.com
Mermaids have been sinking ships and drowning humans for centuries, and now the
government wants to exterminate them. Luce, a mermaid with exceptionally
threatening abilities, becomes their number-one target. She takes refuge in San
Francisco, where she finds hundreds of mermaids living in exile under the docks of the
bay. These are the Twice Lost: once-human girls lost first when a trauma turned them
into mermaids, and lost a second time when they broke mermaid law and were rejected
by their tribes. Luce is stunned when they elect her as their leader. But she won't be
their queen. She'll be their general. And they will become the Twice Lost Army—
because this is war.

The Elementals
Saundra Mitchell
“A sumptuous read, as bittersweet as it is beautiful.” —Aprilynne Pike, author of Wings
Kate Witherspoon has lived a bohemian life with her artist parents. In 1917, the new art
form of the motion picture is changing entertainment—and Kate is determined to
become a director.
Meanwhile, midwestern farm boy Julian Birch has inherited the wanderlust
that fueled his parents' adventures. A childhood bout with polio has left him crippled,
but he refuses to let his disability define him.
Strangers driven by a shared vision, Kate and Julian set out separately for Los

The Goblin Wars, Book Three
Kersten Hamilton
“[A] spectacular conclusion .” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Locked doors are opening, and magical creatures are tumbling through portals from
Mag Mell, the world-between-worlds, into the streets of Chicago. Meanwhile, the
romance between seventeen-year-old Teagan, who is part goblin, and the alluring bad
boy Finn Mac Cumhaill is heating up . . . which is awkward, considering he is bound by
a family curse to fight goblins his entire life. Celtic mythology, adventure, and
paranormal romance fuse in the electrifying finale of the critically acclaimed Goblin
Wars trilogy.
Kersten Hamilton has worked as a ranch hand, woodcutter, lumberjack, census taker,
archeological surveyor, and dinosaur hunter. She has written several picture books and many
middle grade novels, but the Goblin Wars books are her first teen novels. She lives in
Albuquerque. Visit her website at www.kerstenhamilton.com.

“A satisfying mix of folktale, mystery, and family drama.”—The Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books
When high school senior Noah Gallagher and his adopted teenage sister, Lo, go to live
with their grandmother in her island cottage for the summer, they don't expect much in
the way of adventure. Noah has landed a marine biology internship, and Lo wants to
draw and paint, perhaps even to vanquish her struggles with bulimia. But then things
take a dramatic turn for them both when Noah mistakenly tries to save a mysterious
girl from drowning. This dreamlike, suspenseful story—deftly told from multiple points
of view—dives deeply into selkie folklore while examining the fluid nature of love and
family.
The debut author Betsy Cornwell graduated from Smith College in 2010. She was a columnist
and editor at Teen Ink before receiving an MFA in creative writing at Notre Dame, where she also
taught fiction writing as well as film and television studies. She is currently living in Inis Mór,

Catch Rider
Jennifer H. Lyne
“A standout. . . . Everything comes together here—setting, dialogue, horse details and,
most impressively, voice.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Tough-as-nails fourteen-year-old Sid may not have expensive boots like the privileged
teen riders in Virginia, but she knows her way around horses. Working with her
uncle since childhood, she's learned to evaluate horses, break and train them, care for
them . . . and ride like a professional. Amid turmoil at home, she dreams of becoming a
catch rider—a show rider who can ride anything with hooves. In this salty, suspenseful
teen novel, an opportunity to ride a top-notch horse in an equitation show takes the
small-town girl all the way to Madison Square Garden.
Jennifer H. Lyne was raised in Virginia, where she spent a lot of time around horses, and
eventually managed a small barn. She has worked extensively in the film industry as a location

The Wrap-Up List

Steven Arntson
* "Quirky, charming and life-affirming, supernatural style."—Kirkus Reviews, starred
review

In this modern-day suburban town, one percent of all fatalities come about in the most
peculiar way. Deaths—eight-foot-tall, silver-gray creatures—send a letter to whoever is
chosen for a departure, telling them to wrap up their lives and do the things they always
wanted to do before they have to "depart." When sixteen-year-old Gabriela receives the
notice that her days are numbered, she is, of course, devastated. Will she kiss her crush
Sylvester before it's too late? Friendship, first love, and fantasy artfully mesh in this
magically realistic world that ultimately celebrates life.
Steven Arntson is the author of the middle grade novel The Wikkeling. He's a writer and musician
who lives in Seattle, Washington. Visit his website at www.stevenarntson.com.

vicarious experience.”—SLJ
Fourteen-year-old Cameron Galloway of Lexington, Washington, understands that he

has schizophreniform disorder and needs to take pills to quiet the voices in his head.
But he likes the voices, especially the gentle, encouraging voice of The Girl. Conflicted,
he turns to his friend Nina Savage, who is clinically depressed and can relate to his
horror of the numbing effects of medication. They make a pact to ditch the pills. At first
they feel triumphant, but soon Cameron’s untreated mind goes haywire—to disastrous
effect.

Members Only
Secret Societies, Sects, and Cults Exposed!
Julie Tibbott
Clubs aren't just for kids anymore. Since the earliest days of human culture, people
have banded together to pass on traditions, climb up the social ladder, and sometimes
just avoid being excluded themselves. Some of today's groups have been around for
centuries and others have developed in just the past few decades. But members of these
clubs walk, talk, and live all around us; we just don't always know it. Members Only
provides a glimpse into the underground cults people love, fear, and cannot resist.
Delving into different groups like Opus Dei, the Knights Templar, and even the
omnipresent Trekkies, the book uncovers the how, what, when, where, and why of
these mysterious groups. From the infamous Hitler Youth to the more benevolent Elks,
Members Only reveals the shared beliefs and actions of these organizations so that we,
too, can access secret worlds we didn't even know were there.
Julie Tibbott is an editor of teen fiction at a major publishing house. She makes her home on New
York City's Lower East Side, once home to members of many mafia groups, gangs, and
underground anarchists. She's not a member of any secret societies . . . or is she?

Regine Stokke began to blog about her day-to-day life shortly after she was diagnosed
with an aggressive form of leukemia in 2008. Her stated purpose at the time was to give
people a sense of what it was like to live with such a serious illness, and her blog
became an almost instant classic. She writes openly about the emotional and physical
aspects of her 15-month struggle to survive and explains how her disease impacts her
life. In the course of her illness, Regine participated in photography exhibits, went to
concerts, enjoyed her friends and family, and advocated for registering as a blood and
bone marrow donor. She was a typical teenager with an incredible will to live, and the
lessons that she learned have relevance for us all. Through her eyes, readers will
discover a more vivid world, and a new appreciation for life, art, and the power of the
human spirit.
Regine Stokke was living on the west coast of Norway when she was diagnosed with MDS/AML.
Her blog about living with the illness developed a huge following and eventually became a book.
She died at home on December 3, 2009, with her family and cat by her side.

Lay It on My Heart
Angela Pneuman
This piercing, sly debut novel tells the story of one unforgettable month in a Kentucky
girl’s thirteenth year. Charmaine Peake’s prophet father has been committed to a
psychiatric institution. Her mother, forced to rent out their house and move them
down to a trailer on the river, won’t stop telling Charmaine things she doesn’t want to
hear—from marital details and middle-aged doubts to uncomfortable preoccupations
with Charmaine’s changing body. A sanctimonious missionary kid has taken over her
real bedroom, where Charmaine discovers his stash of strange and questionable
photos. She is being tested at every turn: Where will her choices take her? And her
faith? She tries to pray ceaselessly as her father taught, but with so much upheaval,
even God seems to have changed.
Like the beloved Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Lay It on My Heart unleashes Southern
humor on the effects of a parent’s mental illness. It brings us into the heart of a family
weathering the toughest patch in their lives. But most of all, it marks out the seemingly
unbearable realities of adolescence and the power that comes from discovering—and
accepting—who you are. A moving, hilarious portrayal of the relationship between
mothers and daughters, this book fulfills Angela Pneuman’s promise as “one of the most
astonishingly talented writers today”(Julie Orringer).
ANGELA PNEUMAN, raised in Kentucky, is a former Stegner Fellow and teaches fiction

writing at Stanford University. Her collection Home Remedies was hailed as “call[ing] to mind
Alice Munro” (San Francisco Chronicle).
