About the books:

Loch Ness Monster’s Unbelievable Science written and illustrated by ANNE APPERT

Ness -- AKA the Loch Ness Monster -- is pleased to present its book of very accurate scientific facts about birds. Only, does Ness really know anything about science? Did the blue-footed booby really get its blue feet from a feather-dye accident? Luckily, Puffin is there to point out all the nonsense, and to teach young readers (and Ness) some real facts about birds!

The Hidden Dominion of Geordie James written and illustrated by MIKE DAWSON

When Geordie becomes obsessed with the fate of a pig who escaped from a factory farm, the group project is put in jeopardy. As Geordie starts to push harder into difficult questions, he finds everything changing—his friendships, his ability to express himself, even how he plays his favorite online role-playing game, Dominion.  

Karen’s Surprise (Baby-sitters Little Sister #12) adapted and illustrated by SHAUNA J. GRANT

Karen and her classmates are putting on a play about a grand Thanksgiving feast. She wants the starring role, of course, but she is given the worst part of all -- the Thanksgiving turkey! All she gets to do is walk across the stage in a big brown costume and say one or two lines. Will everyone laugh at Karen the Turkey? Not when they see her big surprise!

Unicorn Boy and the Slumber Party of Doom! written and illustrated by DAVE ROMAN

Unicorn Boy is back, and this time he's going to a slumber party held in a castle with the few other remaining unicorns -- but everything isn't as it seems! With the ruler of the underworld still living in his belly, social anxiety to contend with, and some strangeness afoot, he'll have to put his best horn forward!
