CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS AND THE TERRIFYING RETURN OF TIPPY TINKLETROUSERS
PILKEY, DAV
When we last saw our heroes, George and Harold, they were under arrest and headed for prison. Then Harold
foolishly uttered the fateful words "What could be worse than going to jail for the rest of our lives?" and changed
the course of human history. In this ninth epic novel, Dav Pilkey takes readers back in time to the carefree days
of kindergarten, when the worst thing George and Harold had to face was NOT evil mad scientists or alien
cafeteria ladies but a sixth-grade bully named Kipper Krupp, the nephew of their clueless school principal. And
because George and Harold don't actually invent Captain Underpants until fourth grade, the two clever
kindergartners are on their own -- using their brains to beat the bully.

CAUGHT
HADDIX, MARGARET PETERSON
Jonah and Katherine are accustomed to traveling through time, but when learn they next have to return Albert
Einstein’s daughter to history, they think it’s a joke—they’ve only heard of his sons. But it turns out that Albert
Einstein really did have a daughter, Lieserl, whose 1902 birth and subsequent disappearance was shrouded in
mystery. Lieserl was presumed to have died of scarlet fever as an infant. But when Jonah and Katherine return
to the early 1900s to fix history, one of Lieserl’s parents seems to understand entirely too much about time travel
and what Jonah and Katherine are doing. It’s not Lieserl’s father, either—it’s her mother, Mileva. And Mileva has
no intention of letting her daughter disappear.

piano. Victoria often wonders why she ever bothered being his friend. (Lawrence does too.) But then Lawrence

not what it appears to be. Kids go in but come out…different. Or they don’t’ come out at all.
