THERE’S SOMETHING IN MY ATTIC
If only nightmares would stay in closets
where they belong, then life would be
so much easier. but when a big, noisy
nightmare lives in the attic right over
your bed, making creaking noises when
you’re trying to sleep, you just can’t take
it lying down. That nightmare may look
and sound scary, but it’s no match for a
brave girl with a lasso. “nightmares have
never been so appealing.”

PETITE ROUGE
Illustrated by Jim Harris
“Set in the heart of the Louisiana
swampland, Petite Rouge blends lots
of Cajun French language and culture
into the lively storytelling. In Artell’s
funny, rhyming takeoff of ‘Little Red
Riding Hood,’ the wolf is an alligator,
and Petite Rouge is a sturdy young
duck who doesn’t need a woodcutter to
rescue her…With the help of her smart
cat, she tricks the predator, and then she
and Grand-mere sit down to a Cajun
feast.”—Booklist “Lyrical and visually
hilarious.” —KirkusH

COMING HOME
From the Life of Langston Hughes
“In the first book that artist Cooper has
written as well as illustrated, he combines
large, soft-textured, earth-tone paintings
with a warm, immediate storytelling
voice.... Like Hughes’ poetry, the power
of Cooper’s story is that it confronts the
sadness even as it transcends it. Children
like Hughes who dream of a ‘real home’
will take heart from the story of the boy
who found community and grew up to
write astonishing poetry about it.”

SWAMP ANGEL
Illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky
Caldecott Medal artist Paul o. Zelinsky
puts oils to cherry and maple for this
tall-tale competition between a Tennessee
woodswoman extraordinaire and a
hungry, fearsome bear. “Angelica Longrider
is the greatest woodswoman in
Tennessee. She can lasso a tornado. She
can toss a bear into the sky so hard that
it is still on its way up at nightfall....Isaacs
tells her original story with the glorious
exaggeration and uproarious farce of the
traditional tall tale with its typical laconic
idiom. You just can’t help reading it
aloud....Zelinsky’s detailed oil paintings
in folk-art style are exquisite.”

THE BEAR THAT HEARD CRYING
With Helen Kinsey
Illustrated by Ted Rand
In this fictional retelling of an event that
occurred in 1783, three-year-old Sarah
Whitcher wanders into the woods and
disappears. For three long days friends
and neighbors search fruitlessly for her.
Then a stranger leads the searchers to
a pine tree beneath which the child lies
sleeping. Sarah tells her rescuers of the
“big black dog” that kept her warm every
night—but the bear tracks encircling
her tell a different tale. “Rand’s settings—especially
the darkening forest, in
luminous shades of gray-green, and the
soft, furry bear—are beautifully painted.”

For many summers a turtle carved of
stone watched over the Delaware people
and their land, for he was the eyes of
Manitou the All-Father. As year followed
year, fewer children came to greet
the turtle. With sadness and fear, the
turtle watched as strangers arrived, destroyed
the land, and threatened his very
existence. Can the turtle, once a symbol
of hope and renewal, be saved? “This
striking book carefully avoides didacticism
as it treats the serious theme of pollution.
The reader is invited to open his
or her own eyes to nature—and, more
important, to have faith.”

“A young boy decides to design a better
car than the old family station wagon.
Driven by a robot, his sleek, supercharged
vehicle can drive underwater
and fly, and the interior includes a snack
bar and swimming pool. The story is
told in jaunty rhyming couplets, but the
fun really comes from the illustrations,
which perfectly parody 1950s’ visions of
the future, as depicted in such magazines
as Popular Mechanics.” —Booklist

TEN SLY PIRANHAS
A Counting Story in Reverse
Illustrated by Victoria Chess
Ten sly piranhas are swimming in a river,
but one at a time they disappear, until
there is only one left. Now that this
proud overeater is the only surviving
piranha, he is confident that he can eat
anybody. But while he may be the cleverest
fish in the river, he is no match for
the giant crocodile lurking on the bank.
Children will love learning to count
backward in this crafty tale.

COOLIES
Illustrated by Chris Soentpiet
Shek and his brother, Little Wong, arrive
in California and join hundreds of other
workers, to build a great railroad across

they endure many hardships. Inspired by
actual events, this story reveals the harsh
truth about life for the Chinese railroad
workers in 1865, while celebrating their
perseverance and bravery. “Soentpiet’s
impassioned paintings add new emotional
resonance to the heroic saga of
despised immigrants whose heroism
matched the towering mountains of the
west.” —School Library Journal

SEVEN BLIND MICE
“It’s a pillar,” says one. “It’s a fan,” says
another. One by one, the seven blind
mice investigate the strange Something
by the pond. And one by one, they come
back with a different theory. It’s only
when the seventh mouse goes out-and
explores the whole Something — that
the mice see the whole truth. Based on a
classic Indian tale, Ed Young’s beautifully
rendered version is a treasure to enjoy
again and again. “[A] perfect book.”

PURPLE MOUNTAIN MAJESTIES
Illustrated by Stacey Schuett
In the summer of 1893, a young professor
named Katharine Lee Bates took a
train west from Masachusetts to Colorado.
On her trip, she saw the beauty and
the grandeur of our nation — and was
moved to compose a poem that would
later be set to music and stir generations
to come. “Younger makes a living
character out of Bates, whose quirks and
full-bodied charm gracefully flow from
the letters and diary excerpts.”

THIRD GRADE IS TERRIBLE
Illustrated by Roni Shepherd
What was supposed to be a wonderful
year for Liza rapidly deteriorates when
she is moved from her best friend’s class
into the class of the meanest teacher in
school. But adversity breeds strength,
and eventually, Liza accepts new challenges,
makes new friends and comes
to new understandings. “A satisfying
realistic school story.” —The Horn Book

THE WILLIAM PROBLEM
Illustrated by Ann Iosa
Third grade is looking grim for Liza.
She’s stranded next to creepy William
Spear in the worst homeroom, and her
“best friend” is suddenly snobby. Liza’s
happy to have Bridget as a friend—until
Bridget makes friends with William. And
Liza has to make a choice. “Baker’s short
sentences and familiar situations should
appeal to new readers.” —Booklist

BARTLETT, SUSAN
SEAL ISLAND SCHOOL
Illustrated by Tricia Tusa
“Everything turns out right in this...
good-natured account of everyday life in
a one-room schoolhouse on an island in
Maine [for] nine-year-old Pru....Every
quiet episode is, by itself, smaller than a
breadbox—finding a message in a bottle,
making a new friend, participating in
pet day at school—but they fit together
neatly for a gratifying wishes-come-true
ending. The amicable characters and genial
tone harken back to simpler times.”

THE ARROW OVER THE DOOR
Illustrated by James Watling
“In alternating chapters, Bruchac
describes two 14-year-old boys, one
a Quaker and one an Abenaki Indian,
whose lives at the time of the Revolution
will eventually intersect…The parallels
between two thoughtful and deeply
devout groups are finely drawn without
being didactic or forced, as are the protagonists’
efforts to grow up, under the
guidance of strong mentors.”

EAGLE SONG
Illustrated by Dan Andreasen
Danny Bigtree’s family has moved to a
new city, and Danny can’t seem to fit in.
He’s homesick for the Mohawk reservation
where he used to live and the kids in
his class are teasing him about being an
Indian. His father says it takes a lot more
courage to make a friend sometimes
than it does to make an enemy...but can
Danny believe that?

“Takes advantage of kids’ fascination
with the gross to teach them about the

relies upon a ‘Handy Dandy Butt Candy

hyperbolic) mole, this charming
tale introduces Ossie, a young swamp
rat orphaned and injured after a snake
attacks his family. Saved by the wise alligator
Uncle Will, Ossie grows up with a
ragtag bunch of friends, including a timid
mouse and a slow-talking gopher…the
swamp itself is the star of this story, and
Crocker evokes its complex ecology with
clever phrasing and a laid-back southern
storytelling style…the writing is uncommonly
evocative, and this is the kind of
folkloric fiction that kids can treasure.”

the teen and his brother discover that
moonshiners have built a still in a nearby
deserted canyon on their property and
are making whiskey. Unfortunately, the
family also discovers that local lawmen
are either in cahoots with the bandits or
are too scared to help…With its historical
basis and accuracy, and its strong,
though perhaps somewhat stereotypical
characters, the novel rings true in its
portrayal of an exciting era in a setting
that is usually ignored.”

she’s dead. “[H]as several strong appeals:
new best friends solving a mystery
together, a just-scary-enough ghost girl,

I AM REGINA
The cabin door crashes open-and in
a few minutes Regina’s life changes
forever. Allegheny Indians murder her
father and brother, burn their Pennsylvania
home to the ground, and take
Regina captive. Only her mother, who
is away from home, is safe. Torn from
her family, Regina longs for the past,
but she must begin a new life. She
becomes Tskinnak, who learns to catch
fish, dance the Indian dance, and speak
the Indian tongue. As the years go by,
her new people become her family…but
she never stops wondering about her
mother. Will they ever meet again? “A
first-person narrative based on the true
story of a young woman held by Indians
from 1755-1763, related with all the
impact of a hard-hitting documentary…

MOON OF TWO DARK HORSES
“Like the simplistic Disney film Pocahontas,
this story of friendship between
a Native American boy and a white
settler boy is launched from a sliver of
a historical incident. But unlike Disney,
Keehn has produced an acutely insightful,
complex, and deeply moving tale.
Coshmoo, a Delaware, and Daniel are
longtime friends, but when the British
and the Senecas try to lure the neutral
Delawares into war with the settlers, the
boys’ alliance becomes dangerous…An
intricately layered and culturally and
historically enlightening book.”

Washington State ferry, Bonnie and Matt
must outsmart their abductor or pay

SECOND SIGHT
Washington, D.C., 1864.The Civil War
is dragging to a bloody close, and the
citizens are weary of the conflict. For entertainment,
they go to the theater to see
Joseph and his father read their minds.
It’s all an elaborate hoax, of course. But
Joseph enjoys the limelight—and the
chance to share the stage with such famous
actors as John Wilkes Booth. Then
he meets a girl who truly is clairvoyant.
And she’s had terrifying premonitions of
an attack on President Lincoln. “A mesmerizing
thriller with a stunning twist.”

CUMMINGS, PRISCILLA
A FACE FIRST
“Unable to remember the horrific automobile
accident and resulting explosion
that melted her earrings as well as much
of her skin, 12-year-old Kelley finds
her world of horses, ballet lessons, and
environmental projects reduced to a vise
of pain in a Baltimore hospital’s burn
unit…Cummings…really shines in showing
the careful balance of push, pull, and
nurturing that must be maintained by
the dedicated medical staff who choose
to work with fire victims. She understands
appearance-conscious adolescents,
and leads readers to pull with Kelley in
working through the layers of her inner
being to reach beyond the mask.”

RED kAYAk
“In this satisfying crime and coming-ofage
drama, a toddler drowns in a kayak
accident after friends of teenage Brady,
the victim’s neighbor, vent some anger
against the child’s dad by drilling holes
in the bottom of his craft. It was a meanspirited
prank—but no one was supposed
to die. What happens now? Revealing the
terrible secret would implicate Brady’s
friends in the drowning, and it clouds
his whole world with guilt and fear.
Cummings works plot and characterizations
skillfully, building suspense as the
evidence unfolds and as Brady wrestles
with his decision and tries to come to
terms with his own responsibility.”

TILTAWHIRL JOHN
His uncle wanted him to stay home and
work the farm, but the boy knew there
was a world out there he had to see. Yet
being a runaway meant he was outside
the law—fair game for anyone to use.
That’s how he got caught on the farm
gang, caught and almost killed. It was
Tiltawhirl John who saved him, taught
him how to be a carnie, to run the
traveling show scams, and to keep a step
ahead of the suckers.

It is wartime. Eleven-year-old Alice is on
a train with no seats, no lights, no sanitary
facilities. Her parents and her grandmother
are missing, and Alice doesn’t

Alice begins to realize that just when you
think things can’t possibly get any worse,
they do. “No reader will be immune to
the plight of these people, powerless in

SHAW, SUSAN
THE BOY FROM THE BASEMENT
“Imprisoned in the basement for many
years by his violent father, Charlie, 12,
is sure he’s being punished because he is
bad, and when he escapes and is placed
in a loving foster home, it takes him
a long time to feel safe in the strange
world outside. Through the truth of the
boy’s first-person, present-tense narrative,
Shaw transforms what could have
been a case study of abuse and recovery
into a searing story that is part thriller
and part gentle narrative about finding a
home.” —Booklist

DARkNESS CREEPING
Twenty Twisted Tales
Imagine being trapped forever in someone
else’s nightmare, with no means of
escape. Or caught on one of the most
terrifying roller coasters of all time, when
suddenly the tracks ahead just disappear.
Neal Shusterman walks on the dark side
with this classic collection of masterfully
creepy stories so horrifying, you
may have to read them twice to remind
yourself they’re not real.

“Shusterman brings a new and unique
perspective to the old Medusa story.
Parker Baer, 14, has plenty of material
possessions but is bored. Then Tara,
with her spirals of golden hair and dark
sunglasses, moves in next door. Within
a short time, Parker’s family and friends
are sick and behaving strangely…Shusterman
delivers the moral of the tale,
unusual in itself, for most books of this
genre rarely deliver a message so powerfully.
However, it is the gross-out factor
that readers will remember. Eating kitty
litter with milk, statues with fingerprints,
and other unexplained (until the very
end) behaviors will keep readers turning
the pages even as they shudder to think
what will come next.”

dance ballet like her mama used to. But
when Joyce’s ballet teacher cuts her from

BEHIND YOU
Even though Miah was black and Ellie is
white, they made sense together. Then
Miah was killed. It was the end of their
relationship, but it was the beginning
of grief for the many people who loved
him. Now Miah’s mother has stopped
trying, his friends are lost, and Ellie does
not know how to move on. And then
there is Miah, watching; unable to let
go. This beautiful novel explores the
experiences of those left behind after a
tragedy. “Woodson writes with impressive
poetry about race, love, death, and
what grief feels like—the things that
‘snap the heart’—and her characters’
open strength and wary optimism will
resonate with many teens.” —Booklist

katie’s life is one of drudgery, with her
only solace being her growing bond with
a mustang that is being mistreated by
Mr. stevens. katie is hopeful when the
stevenses decide to follow the oregon

plans to shoot his horse and abandon her
in an orphanage. Desperate to go West,

THE LARA QUARTET
“[t]his engaging story transports readers
to medieval ireland. nine-year-old lara
lays a solid foundation by detailing the
endless work, seasonal changes, and constant
threat of interclan raids that define
her life before the book’s signal event
launches the quartet’s main story…Writing
with a keen appreciation for everyday
goings-on in thirteenth-century ireland
and an unusual ability to bring the past
to life, Duey creates a convincing setting,
a thoroughly likable heroine, and a
strong narrative.” —BooklistH

how to ArrAnGe A sChool or lIbrArY VIsIt
wIth A PenGuIn Author
S
or IllustrAtor
Interested in having an author or illustrator visit
your school or library? here are a few tips for setting
up an appearance, along with a brief description of the
process.
we’re pleased to say that many of our authors and
illustrators are extremely popular, so we recommend
that you start planning for a visit six months to a year
in advance.
If you’ve already identified the author/illustrator
you’d like to have visit your school or library, great! If
you haven’t yet selected a specific author or illustrator,
please go to www.penguin.com/authorvisit for a listing
of authors/illustrators generally available for school
and library visits. You will find each author/illustrator’s
basic appearance information, including the author/
illustrator’s city of residence, their general honorarium,
the number of presentations they are able to do in a
day, and so forth.
once you have selected the author(s)/illustrator(s)
you’d like to invite (note that selecting two or three
authors is a good idea, in case of unavailability), please
consider the following:
• what is your budget for this event? will it cover
the author/illustrator’s honorarium plus travel,
lodging, and meal expenses?
• when, exactly, would you like the author/illustrator
to visit (date, time of day, etc.)?
• who will the audience consist of? what is their
age or grade range? will teachers, librarians,
adult students be present?
• what is the nature of the visit you envision? will
the author/illustrator participate in a panel discussion,
lecture, slide presentation, workshop,
storytelling…?
• what will the visiting author/illustrator’s schedule
look like? Does it include time for meal and
rest breaks? when will the author/illustrator be
expected to arrive and depart?
• how many books are you planning to sell at and
before the event?
the best author/illustrator event is one that the
school and its students are prepared for. the more
information regarding the appearance you envision that
you are able to provide, the better.
once you’ve prepared answers to the questions
above, it’s time to let Penguin help connect you to
the author/illustrator of your choosing! to do so,
send a complete appearance proposal to authorvisits@
us.penguingroup.com. Due to the high volume of
requests received, please allow approximately two weeks
for a response from the appearance coordinator, who
will contact the author/illustrator on your behalf. If
more information is needed at any point, it will be
requested of you.
You will be notified via email whether or not the
author/illustrator is able to accept your invitation and
commit to the appearance. If the author/illustrator
does accept, you will be sent a confirmation letter to
be signed and returned, and you will be encouraged to
touch base with the author/illustrator directly. You will
also be provided book ordering instructions granting
your school or library a discount on books ordered in
conjunction with the author/illustrator’s visit.
thank you for your interest in hosting a Penguin
author/illustrator!
