An unlikely team of talkative plants, a curious spider, and a grumpy goldfish use their newfound magical abilities to defend…
their family from a greedy human in this charming middle grade novel from New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry, with illustrations from the award-winning Fan brothers. Ivy is the beloved houseplant of young Jillian Tupper of Number 3 Ramshorn Drive, much to the constant dismay of Toasty the goldfish, who is technically the family pet—swimming in his special place of honor, the antique octagonal fish tank—and should be the most loved. It seems that's how the cookie (or cheese puffs, in Toasty's case) crumbles in the curious Tupper household, but soon a sequence of thrilling and magical events challenges that way of life forever. First, there's the arrival of Arthur, a knowledgeable spider with a broken leg and a curious mind, hidden in an old typewriter. Then Jillian throws everyone for a loop when she brings home dear, sweet Ollie, a school houseplant who just wants to be friends and sing. When Toasty splashes the plants with his tank water out of frustration, the friends learn that they can do magical things—like lift heavy objects and turn things invisible! It turns out Toasty's fishtank isn't just for fish; it was made by a curious inventor who gave it special powers that, in the wrong hands, could disrupt everything forever. And a curious man with purple shoes just so happens to want that tank at any cost. Can Ivy, Toasty, Arthur, and Ollie grow to be friends in time to work together to save their beloved Tupper family from utter ruin?

When two ex-best friends get lost in the wilderness, can they outrun a storm and find their way back to…
safety? From Meika Hashimoto, author of The Trail , comes an action-packed adventure about rekindling friendship and doing what it takes to survive. Amos and Marlo have always been best friends. From hiking trips to backyard camp-outs, from playing soccer at the park to sitting together at lunch, they did everything together — until this past school year, when it all fell apart. Out of nowhere, Amos stopped talking to Marlo, and she has no idea why. Embarrassed and angry, Marlo distracts herself by looking forward to an end-of-year canoe trip with her mom. A special wilderness adventure, just the two of them (and their dog). But when they arrive at the trail-head in the Alaska wilderness... there's Amos! Their parents have surprised them with a trip together. Things couldn't be any worse. During the trip, Marlo and Amos do their best to avoid each other at all costs... until their parents pair them in a canoe together. When they start arguing, Amos and Marlo don't notice that the grownups' canoe has disappeared. They've taken a wrong turn — and they're heading straight for a waterfall. Lost in the wilderness, and with a storm brewing, can these two ex-best friends stop fighting long enough to find their way back to safety? Off the Map contains Meika's signature mix of outdoor adventure and loads of heart. It's about first crushes, friendship breakups, and learning to trust again. A perfect read for fans of Hatchet or Dan Gemeinhart

While at the ocean, a curious young girl goes searching for a seashell and finds an octopus friend instead. The…
encounter turns into an afternoon full of play and discovery. From eating, to napping, to playing, octopuses are just like us ... but are they really? Maybe not quite. For instance, when you spot an octopus, you might be tempted to shake its hand. Please don't. A friendly wave is just fine. "Hello, Octopus!" Here the sidebar explains, "All octopuses have eight arms. Some kinds of octopuses are able to detach an arm to help it escape when trapped or threatened. But don't worry, the arm will grow back again. Octopuses are one of the very few animal species that can regrow a part of their body." Throughout the underwater adventure, fun-to-read sidebars add context by describing a variety of fascinating facts about octopuses, including that they have three hearts but choose just one mate; they are boneless and can squeeze into (or out of) tight spaces; and they are expert hiders who can change their skin colour and texture to blend into their surroundings. Ends with a final page of Extra Octopus Facts.
