Becky Lennox has an opinion on simply everything to do with grade six, but hers are not the kinds of tips you get from teachers.

The five interconnected stories in this middle-grade comedy take Becky through an entire school year, as she shares everything she learns about the real problems tween girls face, from jealousy and forgiveness to crushes, first dates, and class trips to remember.

Quick-witted, prank-pulling graffiti artist Maxwell Connors is more observant than the average New Middletown teenager. And he doesn't like what he sees. New Middletown's children are becoming frighteningly obedient, and their parents and teachers couldn't be happier. As Max and his friend Dallas watch their classmates transform into model citizens, Max wonders if their only hope of freedom lies in the unknown world beyond New Middletown's walls, where creativity might be a gift instead of a liability.

This book is for those who like their dystopias with a rich character sauce and a side of humour.

Thousands of years ago, Isis was worshipped as an Ancient Egyptian goddess, the revered daughter of Earth and Sky. Today, there is a cat named Isis who is just as special in one boy’s eyes.

This dazzling work of paper- and photo-collage, painting, and pen-and-ink illustration is both an homage to a beloved family pet and a journey into the realm of Ancient Egyptian myth. Through a series of light-hearted comparisons between his cat and its goddess namesake, a young boy reveals surprising and playful similarities and differences between their two worlds. The most obvious similarity? Isis the cat may not be a goddess, but her people couldn’t adore her more!

My Cat Isis is an ideal book for pet lovers and lovers of ancient history alike. Tongue-in-cheek text and striking illustrations bring this unusual story to life.

When Josh's mother dies in a phobia-induced car crash, she leaves two questions for her grieving family: How did a snake get into her car? How do you mourn with no faith to guide you?

Twelve-year-old Josh is left alone to find the answers. His father is busy building a time machine. His four-year-old brother has befriended a plastic Power Ranger. His psychiatrist offers nothing more than a blank journal.

Isolated by grief in a home where every day is pajama day, Josh makes death his research project. He tests the mourning practices of religions he doesn't believe in. He tries to mend his little brother's shattered heart. He observes, records, and waits—for his life to feel normal, for his mother's death to make sense, for his father to come out of the basement.
