evil game for Gameknight999 to play.
Herobrine, the artificially intelligent virus, was

destroyed. Without their leader, the few survivors
of its evil army were cast away into the shadows.
It looked as if there would finally be peace and
happiness throughout the servers of Minecraft.

is the creator of the Gameknight999 series, actionadventure books set in the world of Minecraft conceived

MARCH
But suddenly, and mysteriously, software began
misbehaving. Sheep fell from the sky. Snowballs
appeared out of nowhere. What seemed at first
like harmless glitches quickly became dangerous.
Wolves turned vicious without warning, gaping holes
appeared in the ground, and crops began to die.
Gameknight999, the User-that-is-not-a-user, returns
to Minecraft at his friends’ urgent request—just as
a village is covered with lava and then drowned in
water. Another village is completely destroyed. Then
another. Examining the clues, Gameknight realizes
that Herobrine, before he was deleted, programmed
command blocks to inflict terrible death and
destruction on all of Minecraft. Navigating through
mind-numbing riddles and treacherous landscapes,
Gameknight and his friends will race to find the
command blocks and thwart the vile trap Herobrine
has set for them all.

Minecraft was designed to allow other people to
modify it. And while there are several successful
game guides on the market already, this book is
the first unofficial “hacker’s” super-guide dedicated
to adding mods (modifications) to your Minecraft
game.
Mods add content to the game to alter gameplay,
changing the creative feel of the game or giving the
players more options for how they interact within
the Minecraft world. Mods can make your game
run faster; they can add new mobs, mechanics,
and quests, and even entirely new dimensions to
play in. Change the rules of your world with each
mod you add—anything is fair game! This book
explores today’s range of modded Minecraft play,
from the must-haves to the fanciful—from utilities
like Inventory Tweaks and JourneyMap, to fullfledged gameplay extensions and modpacks, like
Thaumcraft, Twilight Forest, and Agrarian Skies.
Written for seven- to twelve-year-old Minecrafters,
this is the ultimate guide on Minecraft mods. Keep
your game new and exciting with all these expert
tips and tricks.

Hypnosis Harry
Written by Catherine Bailey
Illustrated by Sarita Rich
Harry’s mind-control adventures are ideal for reading (and laughing) aloud!
No pajamas at the park. No toys in the toaster.
Harry’s parents say no to everything! That is, until
Harry learns about hypnosis.
With a little practice, and Grandpa’s watch, Harry
puts his parents in a trance and envisions a future
full of fun and yeses!
CATHERINE BAILEY’s prior job titles include lawyer (interesting), sailboat deckhand (fun but occasionally seasick), and
Cartoon Network intern (best job ever, besides writing).
Her hobbies include reading, 1980s movies, and travel.
She is the author of the upcoming picture books Mind
Your Monsters and Lucy Loves Sherman. She resides in
Stuart, Florida, with her husband and three children.
SARITA RICH grew up in northern Alaska spending
afternoons snowed in, decorating the living room walls
with abstract compositions in purple crayon. Once, she
may or may not have been caught warming her Barbies
in the toaster. Later, she became a middle school English
teacher and then studied children’s book illustration at
the Rhode Island School of Design. She lives with her
husband and daughter in New Haven, Connecticut.

Comic books by the crate, night-vision goggles for
his teddy bear, a pet monkey (or two)—no request is
too big or too bizarre. Harry loves his new freedom,
not to mention all that bacon. So what if his robot
goes rogue and playmates are hard to find? But
when his ninja moves result in a playground pile-up,
Harry starts to wonder if he really wants his every
wish granted.
Hypnosis Harry is a wildly funny, sweetly silly look
at the real meaning of the word no. Children
will delight as little Harry answers the delicious
question: What would you do if you could do
anything? This charming romp is perfectly captured
in the lively, layered illustrations of Sarita Rich.
Harry’s parents said
no to everything.
“No toys in the toaster.”
“No pajamas at the park.”

game of capture the flag, someone vandalizes their

cat that prowls the camp.
During the next round of capture the flag, Team
Treecko bands together and tries every Pokémon
trick they know. But when Sam gets hit by a stone
mixed in with the mud bombs, the game comes to a
screeching halt—and Team Treecko discovers that

Just as Pokémon can Mega Evolve with Mega Stones,
can a bully change his ways? Team Treecko is about
to find out!

Divah
Susannah Appelbaum
Eloise meets Rosemary’s Baby in New York City’s very
own Carlyle hotel.
Seventeen-year-old Itzy Nash is spending the
summer at the exclusive Carlyle hotel in New York
City. But the hotel harbors more than the rich and
privileged; it is host to a gorgeous fallen angel,
reclusive movie stars, and—Itzy soon learns—
demons of the worst sort. When the Queen of the
Damned checks in, all Hell breaks loose. Itzy is
called upon to save herself—and all of humanity—
from the ravages of the Underworld. There’s only
one problem. Itzy’s possessed.
SUSANNAH APPELBAUM realized at an early age that the
world contains both good and evil—and she wanted
nothing more than to write about it. She is the critically
acclaimed author of the Poisons of Caux series. By day,
she dabbles in gardening. By night, she keeps the world
safe from pernicious shadows and repugnant demons.
She has lived for years in both Paris and the Carlyle hotel,
where the room service is really quite delicious. Susannah
resides in New Paltz, New York.

Queen of the Damned. Marilyn Monroe is an expert
demon hunter. To kill a demon, Hermès scarves,
Evian water, and a guillotine are the weapons of
choice.
For anyone who loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone,
this has an epic battle between angels and demons
with a doomed love story at its core. But it’s also
darkly funny, for fans of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer,
and more than anything it’s something original—
dark, funny, clever, and glamorous.

Alien queen Kora has a problem as vast as the
endless crimson deserts. She’s the first female ruler
of her territory in generations, but her people are
rioting and call for her violent younger twin brother
to take the throne. Despite assassination attempts,
a mounting uprising of nomadic human rebels,
and pressure to find a mate to help her govern,
she’s determined to protect her people from her
brother’s would-be tyrannical rule.
Eros is a rebel soldier hated by aliens and human
alike for being a half-blood. Yet that doesn’t stop
him from defending his people—at least until
Kora’s soldiers raze his camp and take him captive.
He is given an ultimatum: be an enslaved bodyguard
to Kora, or be executed for his true identity—a
secret kept even from him.
When Kora and Eros are framed for the attempted
assassination of her betrothed, they flee. Their
only chance of survival is to turn themselves in to
the high court, where revealing Eros’s secret could
mean a swift public execution. But when they
uncover a violent plot to end the human insurgency,
they must find a way to work together to prevent
genocide.
“Ava Jae’s Beyond the Red is a sand-swept fantasy of court
politics, rebel attacks, and forbidden romance. While
reading, I had flashes of Star Wars—a new planet, a
fascinating culture, a fresh look on a ruler struggling to
keep her power—and I had to know what happened next.
Dangerous, exciting, and fast-paced, Beyond the Red is a
story not to be missed.” —Francesca Zappia, author of

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Han Solo
avenged the destruction of an innocent planet by
helping Luke Skywalker blow up the Death Star.
Han walked away with a gold medal and the love of
his life. But when Solo Hahn—named in honor of
the beloved action hero—tries to avenge the death
of his gray-and-white kitten, he gets eight months
of community service. Eight months of working at
the local raptor center helping owls—his now sworn
enemies.
For the first time in his life, Solo is labeled a
troubled kid, an at-risk youth. He’d always gotten
good grades, had good friends, and gotten along
with his parents. He used to volunteer to read
Reader’s Digest to old people at the retirement home
next door, and his favorite thing in the whole wide
world was to surf. He wrote screenplays for fun. But
when his parents uproot him and move the family
from California to backwoods Oregon, Solo starts to
lose track of the person he was. Everything is upside
down, and he finds himself dealing with things
way beyond his understanding. He’s the new kid in
town, and he’s got a bad reputation. The question
is: What will he do next?
This is a story about staying true to yourself when
things get tough. Avenging the Owl deals with the
difficult issues of suicide and depression, but more
than anything it captures the powerlessness of
being a kid. It won’t be easy, but the wild beauty of
Oregon, its cold, empty beaches and captivating
wildlife, may be just what Solo and his family need
to help them start over.

“witch” more times than she cares to count. But
that’s all about to pay off. She has finally landed the
role she was born to play—Kate, in The Taming of the
Shrew—in the summer apprentice program of a renowned Shakespeare theater company in the forests
of Vermont.
But Cass can barely lace up her corset before
her troubles begin. Her leading man, Drew, is
a complete troll, and he’s going to ruin Cass’s
summer. Even worse, Cass’s bunkmate Amy has
somehow fallen head over heels for Drew. Cass can’t
let Amy throw herself at a total jerk, so she comes
up with a genius plan to give Drew the personality
makeover he so desperately needs: they’ll
tame Drew just as Petruchio tames Kate! But as
Shakespeare’s classic plays out offstage, Cass finds it
harder and harder to resist falling for Drew herself.
The best kind of entertainment, The Taming of the
Drew is smart, funny, fresh, and original. You’re
going to love this badass heroine and her friends.
You might even end up liking Drew, too.

The call up is sweet, for all of them have overcome
insurmountable odds to get where they are. But
life in the Major Leagues is filled with fast-paced
action both on and off the field. The bright lights of
Boston hold a new series of challenges, hardships,
and life lessons—especially for Mickey, who finds
himself a long way from throwing apples into a

have each other to lean on, as well as a new group
of fans who are swept away by pennant fever, but
balancing everything this new world has to offer

From the Boston Massacre in 1770 to the Los
Angeles riots of 1992, mob violence in the
United States is often sparked by unjust court
decisions, unfair taxes, unpopular wars, the fear of
unemployment, and racial and ethnic prejudice.
But there are also seemingly senseless riots over wild
concerts and sports championships. What causes a
peacefully assembled crowd to turn into a mindless,
violent mob? What causes a police force or militia to
lose control?
In this timely, comprehensive overview, Jules Archer
describes and explains the causes of mob violence in
the United States and suggests that unless we make
some basic changes in the nature of our society,
the despair and rage that ignite mob violence may
always be with us.
“The nature of various sparks to violence—religious,
governmental, prejudicial—suggests that we Americans
can be a miserable lot. Archer dedicates the book to his
granddaughters, who might, if we’re lucky, benefit from
the remedies he proposes.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A subject not routinely covered in books for young people receives some timely, close-up attention by a respected
chronicler of modern history and politics.” —Booklist

To Save the Earth looks at the lives of four
extraordinary Americans who fought to save our
earth. John Muir, a pioneer of conservationism, was
the founder of our national park system. Rachel
Carson, biologist and author, educated our country
about the effects of pesticides and chemical waste.
David McTaggart, the organizer of Greenpeace,
introduced nonviolent protest into the struggle,
while Dave Foreman, cofounder and former
leader of the activist group Earth First!, shook up a
movement that had grown complacent.
The biographies of each of these figures, as well
as personal interviews with David McTaggart
and Dave Foreman, help us to understand the
environmental movement specific to the United
States. With current issues of excessive pollution
and climate change, this is an excellent resource for
introducing young readers to the cause. Upon first
publication, To Save the Earth was chosen as a Junior
Library Guild Selection, and now this fascinating
and important book is back in print to teach a
whole new generation of readers the importance of
environmental conservation and preservation.
“Readers step into the minds, lives, dreams, and struggles
of all the subjects for a fascinating look at their careers as
well as various facets of the environmental movement.”

The inhabitants of the Overworld barely had any
time to celebrate their victory when the fires started
occurring. Flames were devouring more land with
every tick of the CPU. The User-that-is-not-a-user
knew something was terribly wrong. He also knew
who was responsible.
With the fires growing both in size and frequency,
entire villages were reduced to piles of smoldering
ash. Entire biomes followed. But unlike before,
there were no mocking signs or arrogant clues for
Gameknight to follow. Only a single blaze rod was
found in the rubble. But if this was the work of
monsters from the Nether, where was the portal?
And how could Herobrine be controlling fire
from beyond the digital grave? The answer lay in
a dark land filled with countless rivers of lava and
hundreds of monsters lying in wait for them.

This little girl has been watching her grandpa
for a very long time, and she is almost absolutely
certain that he is a dinosaur. So why is it that
nobody believes her? Why can’t anyone else see
what she sees? He roars! (And no, it’s not just a
snore.) He has green skin! (And no, he’s not from
outer space.) He even has a tail! (And no, he’s not
a horse!) Determined to get to the bottom of this
mystery, the little girl goes straight to the source.
It’s time to ask Grandpa once and for all: Is he a
dinosaur?
Just like Gorillas in Our Midst, this book is all silliness
and fun. Comic artist Richard Fairgray’s illustrations
are filled with wonderful, quirky details for kids
to discover with each read. Kids will love that they
can see that Grandpa is a dinosaur when nobody
else can. And, of course, a story like this can’t end
without a surprising twist!

why she misses him so much—it’s not like he’s her
boyfriend or anything. She needs a distraction.
Enter Mr. Bosserman, the grouchy camp leader. The
old man needs some softening up, and Lucy knows
just the person for the job: Grandma.
One successful match made, Lucy starts to see
potential lovebirds everywhere. And setting up
couples keeps her from facing the question: Is she
in love with Sam? But when the wrong campers fall
for each other, the pack falls apart, all under the
watchful eye of a supersecret blogger who’s been
writing about the camp’s activities Gossip Girl–style.
Even worse? A thief is targeting everyone but Lucy,
setting her up to look guilty. Soon Lucy again finds
herself alone, left to fix the messes she’s made and
face her own feelings. If she fails, the pack may be
splintered for good.
“Lucy’s perfectly feisty narration, emotionally resonant
situations, and the importance of the topic all elevate
this effort well above the pack.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred

Jessica Taylor
“I believe in possibility. Of magic, of omens, of
compasses, of love. Some of it’s a little bit true.”
Sixteen-year-old Tal is a Wanderer—a grifter whose

keep her fed. With her brother, Wen, by her side,
it’s the only life she’s ever known. It’s the only one
she’s ever needed.
JESSICA TAYLOR adores sleepy Southern settings, unrequited love, and characters who sneak out late at night.

write her own stories than read dusty law books. She lives

The founding fathers and mothers of the United
States were not, as history often makes them out to
be, stuffy cardboard figures of virtue and nobility.
They Made a Revolution introduces them as the real
people they were—complete with their inevitable
flaws and weaknesses. Through their letters, diaries,
and reminiscences, discover what was going on in
the minds of this country’s revolutionary leaders as
they committed treason against the most powerful
nation on earth, risking their lives for the sake
of freedom. Meet “The Sly Fox,” Sam Adams;
“The Rich Rebel,” John Hancock; “The SilverTongued Bumpkin,” Patrick Henry; and the very
brave Abigail Adams and full-of-secrets Martha
Washington. Each of these characters comes alive in
this fabulous collection of historical biographies.
These are the stories of the courageous men and
women who stood up to the British king and made
a revolution happen. To England, they were traitors.
To the United States, they became patriots.
“Sure to be one of many comparable retrospectives . . .
and one of the more appealing.” —Kirkus Reviews

Treason in America
Disloyalty Versus Dissent
Jules Archer
Foreword by Brianna DuMont
What, exactly, is meant by the word treason?
BRIANNA DUMONT is a self-proclaimed history buff with a
degree in art history and archaeology as well as classics.
She has traveled extensively in search of great museums
and historical sites to visit. When she is home, she is an
independent historian and full-time writer who is quickly
becoming best friends with her local librarian. She resides
in Chicago, Illinois.
• Co-op available
Treason can be defined as “the breach of the
allegiance which a person owes to the state under
whose protection he lives.” But what exactly does
it mean to be guilty of a “breach of the allegiance”
owed to your country? In a country that guarantees
freedom of speech and dissent to all citizens, the
extent to which dissent becomes unlawful may
not always be clear. Treason is punishable by the
death penalty, underscoring the importance of
the question: How do we go about proving that
someone is indeed an enemy of his country—a
traitor?
In this book, renowned historian Jules Archer
explores different cases of treason throughout
our history, while encouraging young readers to
really question the definition of treason and how
it should be treated. He asks readers to consider
the similarities between disloyalty and dissent and
ultimately urges this generation to take it into their
own hands to redefine American duties and liberties
for our time.

More glitches are appearing across the Minecraft
server. An entire forest of treetops have
disappeared. A mountain fell to the ground as if
sliced in two by a giant scythe. The banks of lakes
and rivers overflowed, wiping out entire biomes and
leaving the landscape in ruins. It was as if Minecraft
itself were dying. Gameknight knew it could only
mean one thing: before being deleted, Herobrine
had discovered how to overload the server, and now
it was on the verge of crashing once and for all.
No one knew what would happen if and when
the Minecraft software had to reboot. Would the
NPCs retain their lives and memories? Would they
even be alive? Gameknight999 and his friends will
travel deep underground, facing what remains of
Herobrine’s henchmen and searching for a way to
avoid the end of Minecraft as they know it. But in
his quest to defeat his nemesis’s plans, Gameknight,
in his hour of greatest need, will receive help from

Ming goes to school, where she learns to say
hello and good-bye. She meets new friends and
introduces them to old friends (including her
favorite teddy). She builds sandcastles and makes
snow angels; she traces, glitters, and glues. She is
so fearless that when held at sword point, she even
walks the plank! And when she’s playing in the mud,
she reaches out and touches the worms with her
bare hands. But despite those brave deeds, she isn’t
quite ready for the big red slide—not yet.
This is a very sweet story with soft, evocative
watercolor illustrations that will help kids to grow
comfortable with the idea of starting preschool.
Ming is curious and playful and ready for adventure,
but even she gets scared of new things sometimes.
Kids will relate to her desires and fears and will be
excited to see Ming at the top of the slide by the
story’s end.

Unfortunately, Liliana’s circumstances are anything
but normal. Only a few people know what caused
her sudden change from model student to the
withdrawn doomsayer she has become, but her
situation isn’t about to get any better. When people
begin coming down with a quick-spreading illness
that doctors are unable to treat, Liliana’s worst
fears are realized. With her parents called away
on business before the contagious outbreak—her
father in DC covering the early stages of the disease
and her mother in Hong Kong and unable to get
a flight back to New Jersey—Liliana’s town is hit by
what soon becomes a widespread illness and fatal
disaster. Now, she’s more alone than she’s been
since the “incident” at her school months ago.
With friends and neighbors dying all around her,
Liliana does everything she can just to survive. But
as the disease rages on, so does an unexpected
tension as Liliana is torn between an old ex and a
new romantic interest. Just when it all seems too

Yuriko is happy growing up in Hiroshima when
it’s just her and Papa. But her aunt Kimiko and
her cousin Genji are living with them now, and
the family is only getting bigger with talk of a
double marriage! And while things are changing at
home, the world beyond their doors is even more
unpredictable. World War II is coming to an end,
and where Japan stands is not entirely clear, with
any battle losses being hidden from its people.
Yuriko is used to the sirens and air-raid drills, but
things start to feel more real when the neighbors
who have left to fight stop coming home. When the
bombs hit Hiroshima, it’s through Yuriko’s twelveyear-old eyes that we witness the devastation and
horror.
This is a story that offers young readers insight
into how children lived during the war, while
also introducing them to Japanese culture. Based
loosely on author Kathleen Burkinshaw’s mother’s
firsthand experience surviving the atomic bombing
of Hiroshima, The Last Cherry Blossom hopes to warn
readers of the immense damage nuclear war can
bring, while reminding readers that the “enemy” in
any war is often not so different from ourselves.

Before Stinkville, Alice didn’t think albinism—or
the blindness that goes with it—was a big deal. Sure,
she uses a magnifier to read books. And a cane
keeps her from bruising her hips on tables. Putting
on sunscreen and always wearing a hat are just part
of life. But life has always been like this for Alice.
Until Stinkville.
For the first time in her life, Alice feels different—
like she’s at a disadvantage. Back in her old
neighborhood in Seattle, everyone knew Alice,
and Alice knew her way around. In Stinkville, Alice
finds herself floundering—she can’t even get to
the library on her own. But when her parents start
looking into schools for the blind, Alice takes a
stand. She’s going to show them—and herself—that
blindness is just a part of who she is, not all that
she can be. To prove it, Alice enters the Stinkville
Success Stories essay contest. No one, not even her
new friend Kerica, believes she can scout out her
new town’s stories and write the essay by herself.
The funny thing is, as Alice confronts her own
blindness, everyone else seems to see her for the
first time.

The Well of Prayers
The Temple of Doubt, Book 2
Anne Boles Levy
The follow-up to The Temple of Doubt, which
Jonathan Maberry called “a powerful new voice in
teen fantasy fiction. . . . Expect great things!”
Hadara, now sixteen years old, is still recovering
from the night she assisted the Azwans, mighty
magi, in destroying a demon that fell from the stars.
She has a new job as an apprentice healer and wants
to put her past—and her doubts—behind her.
ANNE BOLES LEVY currently teaches English to middle
schoolers after more than two decades of writing and
editing for print, web, and radio. Anne is a graduate of
Smith College and studied abroad at University College
London. She also has her master’s in journalism from
Columbia University. Anne is an amateur silversmith and
the absentminded wife to her long-suffering husband,
Brett. They run around after two children and a cat in
Scottsdale, Arizona.

On the planet Kuldor and beyond, it is deemed
a sin to doubt the god Nihil’s magic, and heresy
to fail to worship him correctly. The Azwans, still
on Hadara’s island home, have begun punishing
disbelievers with a vengeance.
Hadara can’t shake her own skepticism, though,
especially when she suspects that the demon they
destroyed isn’t entirely gone. What if bits and pieces
are, in fact, floating around inside her and maybe
taking root? Since she stood at the altar that fateful
night, she’s developed the ability to understand
foreign tongues, among other odd talents she never
had before. Had she perhaps absorbed some part of
the dying demon? She suspects no one can answer
that question for her, but she doesn’t trust anyone
enough to ask it.
Then a temple guard she once thought was dead
comes back into her life and points her toward new
truths and a new sense of purpose: somewhere in
the murky jungles surrounding her city, another
people beckon her and demand she fulfill the
destiny foretold by the falling star.

Wanderer
Roger Davenport
If the desert doesn’t kill them, the city will. Two
teenagers come together in a future where staying
alive is the only ambition.
Here in a vast lost valley, society has split into two:
the Wanderers, who team together to battle against
the elements and each other in the harsh world of
the desert, and those who live in the pyramid-city
of Arcone, whose closed environment and tightly
controlled society enable them to maintain a more
civilized existence in the face of an environmentally
devastated planet. Conflict is inevitable . . .
ROGER DAVENPORT became a writer after careers as an
actor, advertising executive, and theater manager. Among
his TV writing credits are episodes of All Creatures Great
and Small, Bergerac, and The Bill, and his books for
young people have been published by The Bodley Head,
Bloomsbury, Red Fox, Scholastic, and Oxford University
Press. He lives with his wife, Joanna, in London, England.
• Co-op available
Also available:
Kean is a Wanderer, adopted into a team that has
protected him since he was a child. Essa lives with
her parents in the pyramid and chafes at the mental
and physical restrictions the government enforces
to protect its people. But when a rogue Wanderer
plans an attack on the city to gain its resources for
his people, Kean and Essa’s paths collide with an
impact that will alter their lives forever.
The next in a line of postapocalyptic coming-of-age
stories that began with Lois Lowry’s masterpiece The
Giver and moved on through the Hunger Games
series, Wanderer is a journey of danger, growth,
friendship, and hope for a new generation.

because you never know when there might be a
gorilla around.

Political espionage and dirty tricks, secret slush
funds and illegal wiretaps—this story dives into
the cover-ups, the payoffs, the blackmailing, the
scapegoats, and Nixon’s impending impeachment, conviction, and removal from office. This
is the story of the scandal of a president trying
to steal an election that was already his.
