They are fascinated by what he holds in his handa tiny silver donkey. As the girls and their brother devise a plan for the soldiers safe passage home, he repays them by telling four wondrous tales about the humble donkeyfrom the legend of Bethlehem to a myth of India, from a story of rescue in war to a tale of a family close to the soldiers heart.

Henry has a clubfoot and he is the target of relentless bullying. One day, in a violent fit of anger, Henry lashes out at the only family he hashis mother. Sent to live with other troubled boys at the Home of Lesser Brethren, an isolated farm perched in the craggy lava fields along the unforgiving Icelandic coast, Henry finds a precarious contentment among the cows. But it is the people, including the manic preacher who runs the home, who fuel Henrys frustration and sometimes rage as he yearns for a life and a home. Author Fridrik Erlings offers a young adult novel that explores cruelty and desperation, tenderness and remorse, but most importantly, kindness and friendship.
Fridrik Erlings is a novelist, screenwriter, graphic designer, and musician. He is the author of the Icelandic classic Benjamin Dove as well as Fish in the Sky. Boy on the Edge, he says, is a story about an individual with a rich inner life but with severe limitations about expressing his feelings. Fridrik Erlings lives in Iceland. Henry is based on several individuals I knew as a child. They werent as lucky as Henry, and were defeated by their inner darkness. This story is meant to show that there always is hope, even though its existence may sometimes be denied. Fridrik Erlings

Thirteen-year-old Sophie isnt happy about spending the summer of 1960 at her grandmothers old house in the bayou. Bored and lonely, she cant resist exploring the houses maze, or making an impulsive wish for a fantasy-book adventure with herself as the heroine. What she gets instead is a real adventure: a trip back in time to 1860 and the race-haunted world of her familys Louisiana sugar plantation. Here, President Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation is still two years in the future and passage of the Thirteenth Amendment is almost four years away.

And President William Howard Taft, a man of great staturewell, he got stuck in a bathtub. Now how did he get unstuck?

John Muir loved the land. Born in 1838, he was a writer, a scholar, an inventor, a shepherd, a farmer, and an explorer. But above all, he was a naturalist. John Muir was particularly devoted to the high cliffs, waterfalls, and ancient giant sequoia trees that, through his careful influence, were set aside as Yosemite, one of the first national parks in America. Here is the life story of the man who, moved by a commitment to wilderness everywhere, founded the Sierra Club in 1892, a conservation group that carries on his crucial work to this day.

Stephen Biestys extraordinarily detailed illustrations take us inside famous buildings throughout history and demonstrate just how these marvelous structures fit together.

He is the author of The Story of Britain from the Norman Conquest to the European Union, a narrative history for children, and of two highly acclaimed history books for adults.

forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Avain all other ways a normal girlis born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the summer solstice celebration. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Avas quest and her familys saga build to a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.
Leslye Walton says that The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender began as a short story that came to her while listening to a song. She has an MA in writing, and this is her first novel. Leslye Walton is a native of Tacoma, Washington, where she currently teaches high school.

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender began as a short story that came to me while listening to the song I Just Dont Think Ill Ever Get Over You by Colin Hay. At one point in the song, he says, If I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs/I just dont think Ill ever get over you. I remember listening to these lyrics and pondering the logic, or lack thereof, in lovethe ways we coax ourselves to love, to continue loving, to leave love behind. And through this thinking arose Viviane Lavender, a girl who loved a boy for her whole life. I imagined the burden of this love, the many ways shed try to free herself from it. I imagined the heavy weight of loving someone who didnt, or perhaps couldnt, love you back and how it would define every step you took from that point on. Leslye Walton
FROM
To many, I was myth incarnate, the embodiment of a most superb legend, a fairy tale. Some considered me a monster, a mutation. To my great misfortune, I was once mistaken for an angel. To my mother, I was everything. To my father, nothing at all. To my grandmother, I was a daily reminder of loves long lost. But I knew the truthdeep down, I always did. I was just a girl. I was born Ava Wilhelmina Lavender on a remarkably clear Seattle night on the first of March in 1944. My birth was later remembered for the effect it had on the birds on the street where I lived, the auspiciously named Pinnacle Lane. During the day, as my young mother began experiencing labor pains, the crows collected mounds of tiny cherry pits in their beaks and tossed them at the house windows. Sparrows perched on womens heads and stole loose strands of hair to weave into their nests. At night nocturnal birds gathered on the lawns to eat noisily, the screams of their prey sounding much like my own mother in hard labor. Just before slipping into a deep twilight sleeprelief granted by a nurse and a cold syringemy mother opened her eyes and saw giant feathers fall from the ceiling. Their silky edges brushed her face. As soon as I was born, the nurses whisked me away from the delivery room to explore a matter that was later described on an anonymous medical report only as a slight physical abnormality. It wasnt long before the devout gathered in the light from the hospital windows, carrying candles and singing hymns in praise and fear. All because when I was born, I opened my eyes, then unfolded the pair of speckled wings that wrapped around me like a feathery cocoon. Or so the story goes. Where the wings came from, no doctor could ever determine. . . . My entire muscular, skeletal, and circulatory systems were irrevocably dependent on my wings. The option of removing them was quickly deemed out of the question. I would lose too much blood. I could end up paralyzed. Or dead. It seemed there was no separating the girl from the wings. One could not survive without the other.

An exuberant picture book applauds the man behind the 1869 National Peace Jubilee, the largest and loudest concert the world had ever seenor heard.
When I first read about Patrick Gilmore in my neighborhood newspaper, I couldnt believe that I had never heard of him or the concert, which took place a few blocks from my home in Boston. As a former school band member, I had to find out more about this incredible event and the man behind it. Alicia Potter
As a young boy growing up in Ireland, Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore loved musicthe louder, the better! This love of music followed him to Boston in 1849, where he became a bandleader. During the brutal Civil War, it was music that kept up his spirits and those of his fellow soldiers. So when the war ended and peace was restored to the country, Patrick had an idea. He would create the biggest, boldest, loudest concert the world had ever known to celebrate. A peace jubilee! But with twelve cannons, forty church bells, one thousand musicians, and ten thousand singers, just how would all of this sound? Matt Tavaress spirited illustrations burst with sound words in perfect harmony with Alicia Potters triumphant story of the joy of music.

In her, the Tootings had traveled through the dinosaur swamps of prehistoric Earth. They had seen the Ice Age come and go. They had partied in jazz-age New York and looked upon El Dorado, the fabulous lost city of gold. But now Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had been stolen. If an ordinary family car is stolen, its owners might have to walk home, or wait for the bus. When Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was stolen, the Tootings were stranded where no bus could help them. They were stranded . . . in the past. In London in 1966, to be precise.

Get the anchor line! Captain barks as he follows me and leaps aboard. My first orders. I stumble toward the bow, grab hold of the taut rope, and pull with everything Ive got, but the last part of the anchor line is cinched tight on the cleat by the tremendous strain of the wind. Its stuck, I yell. Captain rushes forward, a huge machete in his hand, and slashes it through the air. The line pops like a guitar string. He races back to the steering post to goose the huge twin engines, and we blast out from the dock and into the raging river. I look over my shoulder and can see my familys diner on the rising shoreline. The lights are on in the upstairs apartment, glowing like a lighthouse in the storm. Everything is there, and Im out here, in this boat, in this storm, with this nut job. He motions for me to come behind the console as the boat jumps up and down in the swells. We pass a sunken sailboat at its mooring, bobbing and lifting, showing only her tethered bow and her mast leaning over at an odd angle. Captain punches the throttle forward, and the boat rises to the top of the five-foot waves, skipping along with the back end pounding like exploding dynamite. This boat will definitely break in half. Ive seen worse! Captain screams above the engine noise, and somehow I cant imagine a worse storm, but at this moment I plan on believing everything Captain says because my life is in his hands. Where are we going? I ask, grabbing on to the console to get my balance. Strap in, he says, nodding to the metal post Im leaning against. I look down, and there is a safety harness attached to it; I fumble with the latch, strapping in just as we lift into the sky. The engines scream as the boat catapults from wave to wave. Captain stands, holding on to the steering wheel, while Im strapped to the post like a pirate lashed to the mast.

In a wry new early reader, the worlds most optimistic pig and his nervous hamster sidekick set out on an exploration to find the Ends of the Earth.
First in a new series
Pigsticks is the last in a noble line of explorers, and hes decided its time for him to follow in his forepigs footstepswith an assistant to do the heavy lifting, of course. When his help-wanted ad draws a motley crew of candidates, he chooses a hapless delivery hamster
Pigsticks and Harold and the Incredible Journey
named Harold. As the unlikely duo set off from Tuptown with plenty of tea cakes in tow, Pigsticks is breathless with excitement (and Harold is struggling for breath under all the gear). But after a long trek through jungles, over deserts, and up a giant ice-topped mountain, the last crumb of cake is stolen by a herd of thieving goats, and their goal is nowhere in sight. Will they ever discover the Ends of the Earth? Could it be in the last place theyd ever think to look?

With his Mythical 9th Division series, the author-illustrator mastered the art of drawing a troop of yetis whose main purpose was to save the world. Alex Milway works from his home in London.

If her parents had never divorced, Laura wouldnt have to live in the shadow of Bruce, her moms unpredictable boyfriend. Her mom wouldnt say things like Be groovy, and Laura wouldnt panic every weekend on the way to Dads Manhattan apartment. But when Laura spots a boy on a facing platform, lifting a camera to his face, looking right at her, Laura feels anything but afraid, and she cant forget him. Jonas, meanwhile, thinks nonstop about the pretty hippie girl he glimpsed on the platformtrying to comprehend how she vanished, but mostly wondering whether he will see her again in a city of millionsand whether if he searches, he would have any chance of finding her. In a lyrical meditation on love, Nora Raleigh Baskin explores the souls ability to connect, and heal, outside the bounds of time and reason.

Red Pandas sweet tooth puts him in a sticky situation in this scrumptious tale of friendship and fairness.
Red Panda is selling homemade candy apples. They are very sticky and quite delicious. So delicious, in fact, that Red Panda cant help but feel a little reluctant to let them go. Like most preschoolers, he would rather eat treats than sell them. He munches one, then another, and sets aside a third for later. What will happen when theres only one apple left to sell, but two friends waiting to buy? The lovable, friendly characters from Hedgehogs Magic Tricks are just the right size to discover that sometimes the best treats are those shared with friends.

Were happy to say that weve got something to crow about! Once again, we have been named Childrens Publisher of the Year by the U.K. Independent Publishers Guild. We won this award in 2012, and were amazed and delighted that our second year of publishing won us this accolade again. We also won the Independent Publishers Guild International Achievement Award, thanks, in no small part, to the support of the American and Canadian booksellers, librarians, reviewers, teachers, parents, and children who have embraced and enjoyed the books we love to make. Nosy Crow is gaining a reputation for our digital storytelling, having won many awards for our apps. Exploring new technologies, though, has only made us more aware of the brilliance of the printed paper or card page and what we can do with it. The simple transformation that occurs through the lifting of a flap is a source of fun in several of our titles this season. There are 121 new animals to meet in Flip Flap Farm, a rhyming split-page book illustrated by Axel Scheffler in which a couse has the top half of a cow and the bottom half of a mouse, while a hurkey is part horse and part turkey. When my own children were learning to talk, they were able to identify animals, even those theyd never encountered in real life, by pointing and making the sounds that they madeor approximations of them. (I remember with fondness my older childs rooster noise: cock-a-liddle-liddle). Can You Say It, Too? is a new series of sturdy lift-the-flap books revealing animals gloriously illustrated by Sebastien Braun, for the youngest reader to recognize and imitate. And with its huge fold-out pages, Digger Dog, written by William Bee and illustrated by Cecilia Johansson, plays with ideas of scale as a determined pooch uses ever bigger machines to get to the bone of his dreams. Axel Schefflers Pip and Posy have a new adventure in The Bedtime Frog. Posy has come to visit Pip butoh, dear!shes left her favorite toy behind. Once more, preschoolers can recognize their own feelings and explore ways of resolving the situation. And just in time for Halloween, an earlier adventure, Pip and Posy: The Scary Monster, is publishing as a board book. Leigh Hodgkinsons new picture book, Troll Swap, celebrates being different with a boisterous girl, whod rather pick her nose than a flower any day, who swaps places with an unconventional troll. Leighs artwork is also showcased in the fourth Magical Mix-up book, Spells and Surprises, which invites children to draw their own adventure.

When Posy goes to stay at Pips house, they have lots of fun together before bedtime. But just as they switch out the light, disaster strikes: Posy realizes that she has forgotten her favorite frog toy. Desperate to help his distraught friend, Pip offers Posy a range of different toys to substitute for her frog, but none of them will do. It is only when Pip gives Posy his very favorite pig toy that Posy is comforted and the friends can get a good nights sleep at last. When Pip comes to Posys house wearing a scary monster mask, he gives Posy a bit of a fright! Oh, dear! But when she works out its only Pip, she feels much better, and they share the cupcakes shes made. Hooray!

With the TOON Books, a new generation of kids is falling in love with traditional printed books. Even with the migration from print to digital, childrens literature continues to flourish on shelves and in bookstores. Picture books and comics are a visual art form designed for intimacy and permanence. When parents are reading to their kids, they want to hold a beautiful bound book. Our newest titles, Tippy and the Night Parade by Lilli Carr and Hearts by Thereza Rowe, deliver just that. They are both stunning visual narratives that further the trail blazed by our best-selling A Trip to the Bottom of the World with Mouse by Frank Viva. These are gorgeous stand-alone picture books that still incorporate all the best qualities of Level One TOON titles. Vetted by a team of expert educators, these two new books enter the canon of great childrens literature. Although they are as innovative as any app, both of these lovingly produced TOON Books are also a reminder of why kids adore reading so much. They ground a generation not only in literacy but in love.

In 1897, whaling in the Arctic waters off Alaskas coast was as dangerous as it was lucrative. And in that particular year, winter blasted in early, bringing storms and ice packs that caught eight American whale ships and three hundred sailors off guard. Their ships locked in ice, with no means of escape, the whalers had limited provisions on board, and little hope of surviving until warmer temperatures arrived many months later. Here is the incredible story of three men sent by President McKinley to rescue them.
