'Horrid Henry' series
by Fracesca Simon
Perfect for young readers who are ready to make the leap from picture books, the Horrid Henry books feature the antihero who lives in a normal house in a normal town with his mom and dad and little brother Perfect Peter. Henry loves any and every opportunity to create mischief for anyone who might cross his path – with hilarious results. Get your fill with "Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb," "Horrid Henry and the Mega-Mean Time Machine," and "Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy."
'A Smart Girl's Guide to the Internet'
by Sharon Cindrich
Almost every young girl of a certain age know about the American Girl dolls. These popular playthings have rekindled a culture of tea parties and sleepovers among pre-'tweens who can sometimes feel like they are growing up too fast. The American Girl franchise has now branched into the how-to book industry. Their Internet guide is a good primer that is age-appropriate, and it can help girls understand the reasons behind their parents' online rules.
'Let's Do Nothing'
by Tony Fucile
Frankie and Sal have done it all. They've played every sport and read every comic book. They decide to challenge themselves to explore the Zen-like art of doing nothing, but even when they are as still as statues, their imaginations are busy. The book, by feature film animator Tony Fucile, celebrates those moments in between scheduled activities when kids can relax, imagine and daydream.
'The Dot and the Line'
by Norton Juster
Publishers Weekly calls this "romance in lower mathematics" a "poignant and humorous tale of a straight line in love with a red dot, and the line's attempt to woo her away from a slothful squiggle." From the author of "The Phantom Tollbooth."
