Jimmy loves reading so much that he's inspired to start a book company for kids - run by kids. It's a big dream for a 12-year-old boy - some would even say it's laugh-out-loud ridiculous! But that doesn't stop Jimmy from dreaming even bigger! His company will be as imaginative an...d fun as Willy Wonka's chocolate factory ... with a Ferris wheel instead of an elevator, a bowling alley in the break room and a river filled with floating books! He just has to believe in himself and his idea. (And maybe win the Lotto). In this hilarious story filled with clever references to children's book favourites, James Patterson shows that anything can be achieved if you believe in yourself no matter what! Read more

#1 New York Times bestselling author. James Patterson's newest middle grade story follows the illuminating journey of a very special mouse, and the unexpected friendships that he makes along the way. What makes Isaiah so unique? First, his fur is as blue as the sky - which until ...recently was something he'd never seen, but had read all about. That's right - Isaiah can read, and write. He can also talk to humans ...if any of them are willing to listen! After a dramatic escape from a mysterious laboratory, Isaiah is separated from his mischief (which is the word for a mouse family), and has to use his special skills to survive in the dangerous outdoors, and hopefully find his missing family. But in a world of cruel cats, hungry owls, and terrified people, it's hard for a young, lone mouse to make it alone. When he meets an equally unusual and lonely human girl named Hailey, the two soon learn that true friendship can transcend all barriers. Read more

In the second title in the slam-dunk new series from bestselling author Amy Ignatow, the Odds are back and trying to figure out just who inflicted these lame abilities on them in the first place. Nick can still teleport four inches to the left, and Farshad's thumbs are still supe...r strong. Cookie can still read minds, if they're thinking of directions, and Martina can still change the color of her eyes. But now, Martina can see the invisible, and when Nick is super stressed, he can move a lot farther than four inches. As their powers evolve in possibly dangerous ways, the Odds are even more determined to solve the mystery of their origin, but it means interacting at school--a serious social risk to popular girl Cookie. Soon, it becomes clear that Auxano, the chemical company that employs half the town, is involved. With the help of some renegade Amish teenagers and Ed, the invisible bus driver, this unlikely group of companions will uncover a nefarious experiment in which they've become unwitting test subjects. They'll also begin to become something even more incredible--friends. Read more

The ragtag Odds crew's useless gifts have gotten out of control. Farshad's thumbs are so strong that just trying to send a text will break his phone, and Cookie can now send mental directions instead of just listening in on them with her telepathy.

But Jay and Nick realize that all these whiz kids have parents who work for Auxano, so they race off to find out what's really going on. Fans won't want to miss the conclusion to the adventures of this motley group of heroes and their patchwork powers! Read more

To do that, he not only has to escape the Genesis ...authorities, he also must face the one person in the galaxy who still has the means to destroy him.

But together, the universe's most advanced mech and its first human-mech hybrid might have the power to change the galaxy for good. Read more
