In this graphic novel by Victoria Jamieson (author of Roller Girl) we follow eleven-year-old Imogene as she braves her first year of middle school. Imogene's family lives in Florida year round, but two months of that time is spent working the Renaissance Faire. Imogene has grown up being homeschooled and has always helped her mother in their Faire gift shop, while longing to train to be a squire for her father, the evil knight. All's Faire in Middle School is a bittersweet journey through the excitement and confusion of trying something new, and having to learn some hard lessons about yourself along the way. (Grades 4-8 School Library Journal)

Max, the black kitten from Max the Brave is back again.  He makes a new friend in this book. His name is Bird because he is a bird! Can birds and kittens be friends? Max helps Bird learn how to fly and by the end of the book they realize that staying friends is more important than anything else. The storyline is humorous and the illustrations are bright and very expressive. This book is a fun read about forming meaningful friendships and learning from others. Recommended for PreS-Gr 2.

Who doesn't like a good car race! This action packed, brightly illustrated picture book follows a group of cars through an unconventional road race. The cars race under a cat bridge and down a dinosaur tail mountain. The focus is on the smallest car, who, despite his small size keeps up with the rest.  The rhyming text is fun to read aloud.  Recommended for grades PreK-K.
