Six Thousand Doughnuts
Why would anyone need six thousand doughnuts?
Big family…little house… Fifth-grader Abe Mitchell is fed up with sharing. All he wants is something to call his own. And he just might get it when he finds a loophole in the fine print of a doughnut shop coupon. Abe thinks it entitles him to a fresh-baked mountain of crullers, dunkers, and chocolate-frosteds. But cashing in means war with Marlene Paczki, the daughter of the doughnut shop owner and Abe’s new crush.
The Curse of the Crummy Mummy
Miss Sorenson’s fifth-grade class at Green Hill Academy is going to make a movie… a mummy movie!
Brilliant but awkward Bernard Gawain is thrilled his crush, Bridget Matsumoto, has been cast as the leading lady, and he will be playing her hero. But this dream come true unravels when his domineering mother becomes the class substitute teacher and the film’s tyrannical director.
Squashed
Aah! Dude! It moved! I told you not to touch it!
Can the mysterious shuddering pumpkin the three kids found in the forest be alive? They’re going to find out when they lift it from its resting place and carry it home. But what happens if someone—or something—comes looking for it?
This evocative graphic novel is spooky yet ultimately gentle and charming. It presents a tale of unfounded fear of those who are different and the similarities we all share. Told in richly stylized full-color artwork from illustrator Meaghan Tosi whose previous work Kirkus Reviews praised as “delightful.”
June the Prune
June Comfy is a girl who surely loves her bath. She’ll do just about anything to relax in a mountain of bubbles.
When June manages to avoid her chores and finagle her way into Grammy Comfy’s claw-foot tub, she’s soaking in aromatherapy bliss. But she’s also soaking in trouble when the tub toys that Grammy has given her come to life. Shirking her responsibilities might have just landed June in more hot water than she can handle.
June the Prune is an imaginative adventure told in June’s own distinctive voice–full of contractions, slang, and idioms, with a glossary included at the back of the book. Since her debut on “The Amazing Adventure Series” website in 1997, June the Prune has entertained over a quarter-million readers worldwide.
Dribbles: The Original Screenplay
A talented high school artist who’s never played organized sports attempts to win a state championship basketball jacket and prove himself to his runaway father.
Film Threat calls Dribbles “A spiritual sibling to ‘Hoosiers’…a story of tenderness on the road to triumph.” A festival favorite, Dribbles is a beautifully written indie crossover of high school art & basketball—a surprisingly moving piece about teen life.
