Philippa Fisher reunites with her spunky fairy godsister in a sparkling new adventure from the creator of Emily Windsnap.
Philippa
Fisher is trying to have a good time on vacation with her parents, but
she's feeling lonely. When she meets Robyn, a girl with sad eyes and a
strict father, she enjoys the company, but can't help wondering what
Robyn and her dad might be hiding. Meanwhile, Daisy, Philippa's best
friend (and fairy godsister), sneaks into her former charge's room for a
visit, but now has a furtive new mission and must dash away. Philippa
longs to uncover the reasons behind her friends' odd behavior, but
friendships can be tricky when there are secrets -- and unexpected
danger -- involved! Best-selling author Liz Kessler is back with a
sympathetic story about navigating between old friends and new, a tale
full of mystery, whimsy, and all the magic tween readers could wish for.

Circle, Square, Moose
In this companion to the acclaimed Z Is for Moose,
Moose infiltrates a book about shapes (because he loves shapes,
naturally) and it is up to his best friend, Zebra, to restore order and
save the day. Another triumph from the award-winning team of Kelly
Bingham and Paul O. Zelinsky.
This hilarious book manages to illustrate a fact or two about shapes while providing a three-dimensional stomping ground for best friends Moose and Zebra. What will happen? Who will save the day? It's all up in the air until the final page, where Moose and Zebra (and Cat, too) create a perfect--and perfectly heartwarming--ending. This stand-alone companion to Z Is for Moose features a multilayered story told through text, asides, conversation bubbles, and pictures. Themes of friendship, exploration, and conflict resolution--and of course the concept of shapes, including the shape of a book--make this an ideal read-aloud for the elementary school classroom and for home.
