our appetites? Keep turning and a terrifyingly toothy shark tells you all about himself, while other spreads lay out
tons of tips on toys and games, mysteries of history, robots and reptiles, sports and spies, wacky words, and so

BAUER, JOAN
When twelve-year-old Sugar's grandfather dies and her gambling father takes off yet again, Sugar and her
mother lose their home in Missouri. They head to Chicago for a fresh start, only to discover that fresh starts
aren't so easy to come by for the homeless. Nevertheless, Sugar's mother has taught her to be grateful no
matter what, so Sugar does her best. With the help of a rescue dog, Shush; a foster family; a supportive teacher;
a love of poetry; and her own grace and good humor, Sugar comes to understand that while she can't control the
hand life deals her, she can control how she responds.

No doubt about it, little brothers can be monsters. For sixth grader Jake Doolittle, those words are more than just
an expression. Instead, they perfectly describe the way his adoptive brother, LD, sprouts pointy ears, thick fur,
and fangs in moonlight. Not only is LD a monster.... Other monsters have plans for him. But together with his
friend “Weird Lily” Carker, Jake isn’t about to let anything happen to the baby. The little guy is still his brother,
even if it turns out that LD may be the key to saving the world—or destroying it.
