Feisty Annie Magruder and her dog, Carson, live in British Columbia, and they're setting out to visit her sister, Elsie,…
in Newfoundland. In their little rattlebang car, packed with Carson's favourite toy, Squeaky Chicken, and plenty of baloney sandwiches, Annie and Carson hit the road! They travel province by province, taking in each unique landscape and experiencing something special to that particular part of this vast, grand country. They marvel at the beauty of the big, open sky -- and grasshoppers! -- in Saskatchewan and discover the gorgeous red earth and delicious lobster rolls in PEI, before finally being greeted by Elsie - and a surprise for Carson! Grades K-3. 2017.

Reece Hansen is missing two things: his father and his frog. His parents are newly separated, and his dad is…
now living in another city, fighting forest fires. Reece struggles to get used to daily life without him. When he loses his pet frog, Burgess, Reece puts posters up around the neighborhood. But frogs are difficult to find. It takes an unusual classmate, the boy who wears a bathrobe to school, to pull Reece's attention away from Burgess. Through his new friend and a camping trip with his mom, Reece learns that friends can come in human form and families are resilient even when things change.
