CLUELESS MCGEE
MACK, JEFF
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Clueless McGee is just your average fifth-grader: snarky, awkward, and a magnet for trouble. The only
difference: he's also an amateur detective. Determined to make his absent father proud, he uses the skills he's
learned playing video games to solve mysteries. Only he's no Sherlock Holmes. Or Encyclopedia Brown. Or
even Scooby-Doo. When the school bully is framed for filling the orchestra teacher's tuba with macaroni and
cheese, Clueless is on the case. But can he catch the culprit before he strikes again? His only obstacle, as Jeff
Mack shows us in his hilarious new illustrated series, is his own ineptitude . . . questionable talent . . . and limited
intelligence. No problem!

PATTERSON, JAMES
In the fifth installment of James Patterson's action-packed Daniel X series, Daniel must now face an alien whose
origins appear nearer to the depths of Hell than the outer reaches of the galaxy. Number Two is an unstoppable
criminal that's slowly been amassing an underground army of disgusting, disgruntled, and dangerous aliens to
help him enslave Earth's population. And it's all in preparation for the arrival of Number One, the most powerful
alien in the universe and Daniel's arch-nemesis.

THE DARING ESCAPE OF THE MISFIT MENAGERIE
RESNICK, JACQUELINE
Smalls the sun bear and his friends Tilda (an angora rabbit), Rigby (a komondor dog), and Wombat (a wombat)
happily while away their days under Mr. Mumford's doting guardianship. That is, until one fateful evening when
Mumford, loopy from elderberry wine, loses his prized animals in a bet against Claudius Magnificence in Texas
Hold 'Em. The dastardly "Grand Master Claude" seizes Smalls and the others, forcing them to join his traveling
circus. In the circus caravan, they're crammed into a tiny slop car and forced to perform ridiculous tricks for
money. Bertie, Claude's young nephew, is the only bright spot in the animals' otherwise miserable lives. When
Bertie uncovers a dark secret about Claude, he and Smalls set in motion a heroic plot to help the animals
escape their tyrant and find their way home.
