HENKES, KEVIN<br />
SUN & SPOON<br />
It’s been only two months since Spoon<br />
Gilmore’s grandmother died, but already<br />
he’s worried that he’ll forget her. He<br />
needs to own something of Gran’s,<br />
something special. But Spoon’s little<br />
sister, Joanie, won’t give him time alone<br />
to think, even when they go to their<br />
grandfather’s house. What happens there<br />
will stay with readers long after they finish<br />
Sun & Spoon. “Once again, Henkes<br />
captures young angst with respect and<br />
honesty....Images of supportive parents<br />
and love between generations shine<br />
through.” —School Library JournalH<br />

Then Sally announces that she and<br />
Andrew are going camping, which means<br />

an entire week. What is he going to do?<br />
“Henkes’s novelist’s hand is as sure as his<br />
illustrative talents. A touching and funny<br />
book.” —Publishers Weekly<br />

THE SANDS OF TIME<br />
A Hermux Tantamoq Adventure<br />
Mild-mannered watchmaker Hermux<br />
Tantamoq is up to his ears in trouble<br />
again. All of Pinchester is talking about<br />
his friend Mirrin Stentrill’s paintings,<br />
which are monumental portraits of cats!<br />
After all, cats are not a popular topic in a<br />
city of rodents and everyone knows they<br />
never really existed. Then a mysterious<br />
old chipmunk appears in Hermux’s shop<br />
with what he claims is a map of the royal<br />
library of a prehistoric kingdom of cats.<br />
“Hoeye’s galloping plot, evocative descriptions<br />
and exuberantly sophisticated<br />
wit keep the pages rapidly turning.”<br />

TIME STOPS FOR NO MOUSE<br />
A Hermux Tantamoq Adventure<br />
“[A]fur-raising mystery that will delight<br />
fantasy lovers. The watchmaker Hermux<br />
Tantamoq, a wonderfully pompous older<br />
mouse, becomes totally infatuated with<br />
Linka Perflinger, a noted “adventuress,<br />
daredevil, and aviatrix,” when she<br />
brings her watch into his shop for repair.<br />
But then she doesn’t return to pick up<br />
the valuable timepiece, and Hermux<br />
is certain that she has met with foul<br />
play…The book is structured as tonguein-cheek<br />
Dickens, and its short chapters<br />
with suspenseful endings make it a natural<br />
for reading aloud, especially to fans<br />
of such classics as Stuart Little and Brian<br />
Jacques’ Redwall series.” —Booklist<br />
