Twelve-year-old Elwood McGee never asked to have “ghost-sight,” and it involves a lot more drool-dodging than he expected. Ghosts are the WORST—and they're all over the place in this sharp-witted middle grade debut novel. Did you know that ghosts love coffee? They’re not trying to be scary. They’re just deprived of an appropriate amount of caffeine! They also bump into things by accident, are occasionally nosy, and get a little nervous when they’re seen by the living. Elwood McGee knows these ghost facts because he’s one of those rare people with the gift of ghost-sight. And it turns out ghosts are everywhere! Especially in the small Tennessee town where Elwood and his family had to move following the death of his big brother Noah, which Elwood thinks was his fault. Once Elwood figures out he can see ghosts, he becomes single-mindedly determined to use his powers to see Noah and talk to him one last time. With the help of two girls who live on his street, Elwood embarks on a journey through the surprisingly funny world of ghosts and faces the realities of letting go. At once hilarious and heart-wrenching, Adam Rosenbaum makes his middle grade debut with a supernaturalish novel about grief that’s perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.

A brand new edition of the long unavailable children’s story, written and illustrated by the author of The Hobbit and Letters from father Christmas, with newly scanned manuscript pages and redesigned text. Now available as an audio edition. Professor J.R.R. Tolkien invented and illustrated the book of Mr Bliss’s adventures for his own children when they were very young. The story is reproduced here exactly as he created it – handwritten with lots of detailed and uproarious colour pictures. This is a complete and highly imaginative tale of eccentricity. Mr Bliss, a man notable for his immensely tall hats and for the girabbit in his garden, takes the whimsical decision to buy a motor car. But his first drive to visit friends quickly becomes a catalogue of disasters. Some of these could be blamed on Mr Bliss’s style of driving, but even he could not anticipate being hijacked by three bears. As for what happened next – the readers, whether young or old, will want to discover for themselves. Thankfully all ended well, and even the yellow motor car with red wheels (to which Mr Bliss has taken an understandable and great dislike), came in useful at the end…

TodHunter Moon, Book One: PathFinder

Pirates! Magic! Treasure! A gargoyle?! Caroline Carlson's funny tween novel The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates #1: Magic Marks the Spot is perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events and Trenton Lee Stewart's Mysterious Benedict Society. Hilary Westfield has always dreamed of being a pirate. She can tread water for thirty-seven minutes. She can tie a knot faster than a fleet of sailors, and she already owns a rather pointy sword. There's only one problem: The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates refuses to let any girl join their ranks of scourges and scallywags. But Hilary is not the kind of girl to take no for answer. To escape a life of petticoats and politeness at her stuffy finishing school, Hilary sets out in search of her own seaworthy adventure, where she gets swept up in a madcap quest involving a map without an X, a magical treasure that likely doesn't exist, a talking gargoyle, a crew of misfit scallywags, and the most treacherous—and unexpected—villain on the High Seas. Written with uproarious wit and an inviting storyteller tone, the first book in Caroline Carlson's quirky seafaring series is a piratical tale like no other.

Il segreto della famiglia Tenebrax

Dory ha un problema: non sa leggere. DEVE imparare a tutti i costi se non vuole perdere l'amicizia di Rosabella, che è la più grande lettrice mai vista. Mentre lei ha sempre in mano enormi tomi, Dory fatica a finire persino una storia piena di figure. Servirebbe una pozione magica del signor Bocconcino, ma le cose non vanno come previsto. Una pecora esce da un libro seguendola ovunque, la signora Arraffagracchi appare sotto mentite spoglie e Dory sperimenta un modo bizzarro di diventare lettrice... con un tuffo dentro le pagine!

L'Acchiappastorie

Dory Fantasmagorica. Una pecora nera a scuola

Dory ha sei anni, un'immaginazione incontenibile, un fratello e una sorella che non vogliono mai giocare con lei, e un'amica che nessun altro vede. Passa la sua estate in camicia da notte a scovare i mostri sparsi per casa, a scappare dalla prigione (anche detta castigo) e a combattere la signora Arraffagracchi con l'aiuto di una fatina-gnomo. Il divertimento non manca nella vita di Dory... e in queste pagine ricche, dei suoi disegni e fumetti. Pubblicato in 17 Paesi, nel 2014 è stato definito miglior libro dell'anno secondo "Publishers Weekly" e "Kirkus Review".

Come se non bastasse ci si mette pure lei Signora Arraffagracchi, con tanto di benda sull'occhio. Nel frattempo Mary trova uno nuova amica (come come??) e il signor Bocconcino si trasforma in una sirena. Cos'altro mai potrebbe succedere?

Dory Fantasmagorica. All'arrembaggio!

Ricomincia la scuola e i fratelli di Dory la avvertono che quest'anno è meglio lasciare a casa Mary, la sua amica immaginaria. Anzi, meglio lasciare a casa tutta la sua fervida immaginazione, altrimenti "nessuno vorrà fare amicizia" con lei. È così che Dory si convince a trovare un amico vero, per dimostrare ai fratelli che si sbagliano. Ancora non sa che nella sua classe c'è una bambina nuova che vive in un castello e possiede un drago... Sarà reale?

Dory Fantasmagorica trova un'amica (per davvero)

Dory sta per perdere il primo dente e non vede l'ora che arrivi la Fatina a portarle un soldino. Ma quando la perfida signora Arraffagracchi lo scopre, impazzisce di gelosia: anche lei vuole entrare nelle case di tutti i bambini senza finire nei guai! Così decide di sbarazzarsi della Fatina e di rubarle il lavoro. Ci mancava solo questa! Dory deve subito escogitare un piano astutissimo per salvare la Fatina dei denti e ottenere le giusta ricompensa!
