MICE WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD


Imagine a world where mice run everything. It really is only a matter of time, if you believe the story told in MOUSENET by Prudence Breitrose. This is a story about a young girl named Megan who's helped her uncle develop the world's smallest computer - the "Thumbtop." When the network of mice find out about a computer small enough to fit in their mouse holes, they will stop at nothing to get their paws on one! You can learn more about the underground, online mouse network at http://www.mousenet.org/.

For grades 5-8. JULY 2012

GEORGE CLOONEY FOR A FATHER?!

Her parents divorced and are now living separate lives. Her father has moved on and is living the good life in L.A. with a whole new family while she is left with her lonely mother, who has a knack for always picking the wrong guy.

Dudley Wiener is just the absolute last straw. How can her mother possibly date a man with that name, plus his jokes are horrible. It is time for Violet to take action and get the perfect man for them... George Clooney.

Dear George Clooney Please Marry My Mom by Susin Nielsen is a funny and heartfelt story about the messiness of love and family for readers in 6th-8th.
