A #1 New York Times bestseller from two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo and two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall, this enchanting tale explores fate, love, and the transformative power of words. In a time of war, a mysterious girl named Beatryce is discovered by Gentle Brother Edik at a monastery, feverish and clinging to a goat named Answelica. As Edik cares for her, he learns of her perilous secret: the king is searching for her, and Edik knows the prophecy he wrote that ties them together. Beatryce, filled with stories of queens, mermaids, and wolves, embarks on a journey into a dark wood to confront the castle of someone who wishes her harm. Yet, she is not alone; those who care for her—a devoted monk, a former king, a brave boy wielding a sword, and a determined goat—will tirelessly seek her out. This knowledge gives her strength and purpose. With timeless themes, a memorable cast, and a magical medieval backdrop, DiCamillo’s lyrical narrative, complemented by Blackall’s evocative illustrations, creates a captivating collaboration between two literary masters.

Während sich draußen die Wellen brechen und sich das Wetter und die Jahreszeiten kontinuierlich verändern, geht der Leuchtturmwärter gewissenhaft seinen vielen Aufgaben nach: Erst wenn das Öl nachgefüllt, die Linse poliert und der Docht gekürzt ist, kocht er sich sein einsames Abendessen. Dann endlich kommt der Tag, an dem seine Frau zu ihm in den Leuchtturm zieht. Bald gibt es noch weitere Veränderungen – manche freudig, andere weniger. Denn obwohl der Leuchtturm für die Ewigkeit gebaut wurde, geht die Zeit doch nicht spurlos an ihm vorüber. Ihre eigene Faszination für Leuchttürme inspirierte Sophie Blackall zu diesem Buch. Akribisch recherchiert und mit einem Sinn für subtile Stimmungen lässt die zweimalige Gewinnerin der Caldecott Medal ein vergangenes Kapitel der Seefahrt aufleben. Völlig organisch fügt sich der Text in die mit Tusche und Wasserfarbe gemalten Bilder ein, sodass ein atemberaubendes Gesamtkunstwerk entsteht.

Edwin Speaks Up

Before his family leaves the grocery store, Baby Edwin makes sure their grocery cart contains the last ingredient needed to make his birthday celebration complete.
In her first book for adults, the artist Sophie Blackall creates a deeply felt, poignant book about love—a book that captures the mystery, the yearning, at times the cosmic humor behind the “what if?” of a missed connection. Like a message in a bottle, a “missed connection" classified (usually posted on a website) is an attempt however far-fetched, by one stranger to reach another on the strength of a remembered glance, smile, or blue hat. The anonymous messages are hopeful and hopeless, funny and sad. Ms. Blackall, award-winning illustrator of Ruby’s Wish and Big Red Lollipop, has turned some of the most evocative (or hilarious) of them into exquisite paintings. Missed Connections is a collection of illustrated love stories. There’s “We Shared a Bear Suit.” “If Not for Your Noisy Tambourine.” “Hairy Bearded Swimmer.” Each is told in the shorthand of a “missed connection,” and then illustrated in Chinese ink and watercolor. The paintings are extraordinary: delicate yet full of feeling, each springing from one little detail of the post into a fully imagined world. Each brings the voyeuristic pleasure of watching love at first sight, and the pleasure of watching an artist discover a fresh new way to tell a story. And not all the connections are missed. Hidden in the book are three pieces that conjure up the magic of love found.
When all the second grade students must enter the science fair, which has global warming as its theme, best friends Ivy and Bean team up to create an unusual project.
