SCI-FI JUNIOR HIGH de John Martin and Scott Seegert
This gleefully illustrated space adventure is a laugh on every page. That’s a lot of laughs!
Kelvin Klosmo isn’t just the new kid at school – he’s the new kid in the galaxy! Welcome to Sci-Fi Junior High: an inter-galactic space station with students of all shapes, sizes, smells, and… slime content. As the son of Earth’s two most famous geniuses, Kelvin isn’t just the smartest kid in the world….he’s the smartest kid in the UNIVERSE. At least, that’s what everybody at Sci-Fi Junior High thinks.
So, maybe Kelvin lied a little about being a genius to fit in. And maybe a mad scientist is about to take over the universe unless Kelvin can stop him. Maybe everyone is doomed.
Well, at least Kelvin won’t have to worry about math homework anymore.
SCI-FI JUNIOR HIGH is an out-of-this-world story about friendship, accepting our differences, and the fight against evil… bunnies. Yes, evil bunnies – don’t ask.
Scott Seegert is the author of the “Vordak the Incomprehensible” series.

THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEWHERE de Julia Day
An emotional and poignant young adult romance debut!
THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEWHERE
by Julia Day
Saint Martin’s Griffin, September 2016
Ash Gupta is having an amazing senior year, hanging out with his tight circle of friends and cranking out the grades his wealthy, immigrant Asian-Indian parents expect. A model student in every way, Ash is on track to earn every school honor there is… except one. It looks as if valedictorian will go to the anti-social, foul-mouthed girl who has been a thorn in his side throughout high school, and that’s just not a part of Ash’s—or his parents’—plan. Eden Moore’s biggest goal is to escape the poverty that haunts her family. When she’s not babysitting a special needs boy, managing the high school website, or attending classes, she’s studying her ass off. To both of their surprise, when Eden and Ash are forced to work together on a school project, sparks fly. As they spend more time together, antagonism changes to romance.
THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEWHERE is Julia Day’s debut YA contemporary romance.
MOMOTARO: XANDER AND THE LOST ISLAND OF MONSTERS de Margaret Dilloway
In the spirit of HAYAO MIYAZAKI and PERCY JACKSON, a new middle-grade adventure series with high stakes and wonderful heart
MOMOTARO: XANDER AND THE LOST ISLAND OF MONSTERS
by Margaret Dilloway ; illus. by Choog Yoon
Disney Hyperion, April 2016
Xander Miyamoto would rather do almost anything than listen to his sixth grade teacher, Mr. Stedman, drone on about weather disasters happening around the globe. If Xander could do stuff he’s good at instead, like draw comics and create computer programs, and if Lovey would stop harassing him for being half Asian, he might not be counting the minutes until the dismissal bell. When spring break begins at last, Xander plans to spend it playing computer games with his best friend, Peyton. Xander’s father briefly distracts him with a comic book about some samurai warrior that pops out of a peach pit. Xander tosses it aside, but Peyton finds it more interesting.
Little does either boy know that the comic is a warning. They are about to be thrust into the biggest adventure of their lives-a journey wilder than any Xander has ever imagined, full of weird monsters even worse than Lovey. To win at this deadly serious game they will have to rely on their wits, courage, faith, and especially, each other. Maybe Xander should have listened to Mr Stedman about the weather after all. . . .
Margaret Dilloway is the author of three adult novels. Her novels often explore (among other things) what it means to be Japanese-American.
