My One Hundred Adventures by Polly Horvath - This is a beautifully written book by the author of Everything on a Waffle, which was a Newbery Honor book. Beach-house dwelling Jane prays for 100 adventures during her twelfth summer, and starts to get them! Along the way she learns about friendship, hot-air ballooning, and what thrombosis really is. She grows up a bit, but also appreciates the wonderful, rich life she has already. "I wish I were Jane!"
Grayson by Lynne Cox - This is a true story about a distance swimmer who meets up with a baby gray whale off the coast of California. Helping him find his mother on the long migration to the feeding grounds off Alaska stretches a routine morning work-out into an urgent quest. How can a person talk to a whale...and vice versa? Meet dolphins and turtles along the way, but watch out for the jellyfish!
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan - The last book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series came out in May, and we've got it! Find out how the story ends and what the prophecy brings!
