Judge is desperate. He's not doing well in science, not matter how hard he tries, and now his grade depends on the egg-drop competition he's entered with his twin brother. But will Jury cooperate? And even if he does, will it be enough to earn them a place in the competition? In Jacqueline Turner Banks's third book abut the "posse" at Plank Elementary School, it's Judge's turn to tell his story. Worried, sensitive, and learning to come to terms with dyslexia, Judge tells of his struggles with schoolwork, with a sometimes difficult brother, and with finding his own self-esteem. It's a story that readers will enjoy, sympathize with, and eagerly follow to a happy and logical conclusion.

Curious George and the Rocket

Polly Greene has always been considered strange, a girl who can see a person’s true colors, a thirteen-year-old more comfortable foraging in the woods with her eccentric grandmother than hanging out with friends. But all that is about to change when Polly’s older sister, Bree, vanishes into the woods. The only one who believes Bree can survive, Polly begins to leave food in the woods for her sister and finds a hidden grove she names Girlwood, where she believes Bree is burning a fire each night. Along with an odd but endearing group of friends, Polly clings to the hope that she can see her sister through the harsh, snowy winter. And, in the process, she discovers the cruelty, bounty, and magic of the woods. Will Polly save her sister? And even if she does, will Girlwood survive?

Jamaica's friend Kristin cannot keep her new kitten and hopes that Jamaica will be able to give her a good home. There's one problem - Jamaica's brother Ossie is allergic to cats. She wants to keep the kitten, but she also wants her brother to be healthy. In the end Jamaica and Kristin realize they should be thankful for everything they already have. Juanita Havill's down-to-earth storytelling, complemented by Anne Sibley O'Brien's warm watercolors, once again bring the inner lives of children to life and show there is a lot to be thankful for.
