The Accelerati Trilogy, Book Two: Edison's Alley by
For those of your who have kids that loved Tesla's Attic, this is the second book in the series. With out of this world inventions, a team of evil physicists, and plenty of humor, this action packed sequel continues the adventures of Nick as he and his friends hunt for the "lost" objects designed by the original inventor, Tesla himself.
The Tournament at Gorlan (Ranger's Apprentice: The Early Years) by
I know many of you have kids who have devoured all twelve books in the Ranger's Apprentice series and thought the good times had come to an end. Well you are now in luck because Flanagan has expanded this series by writing a prequel. For those who want to know what happened before Will became the apprentice, you wish has been granted!
The Tapper Twins Tear Up New York by
For fans of the first book, The Tapper Twins Go to War, this book will absolutely delight. This time instead of fighting each other, the twins are fixing up a mess with a charity scavenger hunt gone bad. The books are laid out with interview transcripts, photos and text messages, so for kids who enjoy a diary format, these books are right up their ally. Prepare for more laugh out loud moments.
I am a fan of the My Life series for kids who enjoy the Wimpy Kid books, and this new installment with Derek getting to be part of test group for a new video game will certainly reel in some reluctant readers. This one focuses on the importance of keeping your word and will hopefully have your child reaching for a book instead of the game controller!
Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes by
For those of you who have kids that enjoyed Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, this book is a continuation of the stories as told by Percy Jackson. Of course he considers them family anecdotes and retells the tales with sarcasm and a sly humor that will rope your kids into the book. The illustrations by John Rocco makes this book even more grand, along with the book's large size and girth.
