Rachel is still reeling from the news that Earth is secretly under attack by parasitic aliens, the Yeerks. Now she and her friends are the planet's only defense -- five kids who, purely by chance, stumbled onto a downed spacecraft and were given the power to morph into any animals they touch.

The team’s best lead is their assistant principal, Mr. Chapman, who is the human host to a high-ranking Yeerk official. It’s not much, but Rachel’s always been a daredevil, and she volunteers to infiltrate Chapman’s home.

Rachel is tough. She’s fearless. But what she finds inside may be more than even she can handle.

小嵐先是成了美豔絕倫的靖王府郡主，又成了朝廷上雄才大略的五皇子！最為離奇的是，明成祖朱棣居然認定她就是自己的親生女兒，御封福慧公主！小嵐真的是六百年前的公主嗎？她的身世之謎能否由此揭秘？而曉晴和曉星又都遭遇了哪些神奇經歷？他們將如何重回二十一世紀呢？

帶領孩子們在空空島展開大冒險

彼得．潘拒絕長大，喜歡冒險與刺激，為人勇敢仗義。一天夜裡，不小心把影子遺落在溫蒂家，當他再度回來找影子時，吵醒了溫蒂，會縫紉與講故事的溫蒂被邀請前往空空島，擔任空空島上所有迷失孩子們的媽媽。就這樣，溫蒂與兩個弟弟隨著彼得．潘前往空空島，學習飛行前往空空島的路上也是危機四伏，然而到了之後，才發現空空島的生活不像夢中那般無憂無慮。

空空島上有小仙子叮鈴鐘兒、迷失的孩子們、人魚、印第安公主、空空鳥、吞了時鐘而滴答響的鱷魚、惡名昭彰的海盜及被彼得潘砍斷手臂，一隻手裝著鐵爪的虎克船長……一連串驚奇與冒險就此展開。

最後帶著迷失孩子們和兩個弟弟回家的溫蒂，對照拒絕長大、想要永遠擁有純真童心的彼得．潘，就好似終究會成長的大人們，始終不斷思考，究竟要如何永保赤子之心，保留那個心中永遠的孩子的純真。

你看得見嗎？

如果告訴你有一顆種子就在你面前，你願意停下腳步，彎下腰來，趴在地上，仔細、仔細的看嗎？

故事就從發現一顆種子開始，而後擴散開來。然後，你會發現，即使是像龍葵這樣的一株小草，它也有著一個小小的、完整的連鎖與循環。然後，你會相信，這棵植物不僅僅只是龍葵。

趙自強 (如果兒童劇團團長)

從一個表演工作者的角度來看，「不說教、有感情」是這套書的重要特色，我認為這也將是新時代兒童書及兒童劇的趨勢。現今我們的孩子，腦中滿載了超量的資訊和知識，但心中卻不知如何去感覺與感動，也不懂人與人、人與自然之間如何相互尊重。

【福爾摩莎自然繪本】讓我想起小時候看到月亮一直跟著我、看到電線桿旁橫長一朵小野花時心中的悸動；希望透過這套感性與理性兼具的繪本，能讓我們的孩子不僅僅擁有知識，更能看到生活中的細微之美。

Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl's castle.

To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there's far more to Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye.

In this giant jigsaw puzzle of a fantasy, people and things are never quite what they seem. Destinies are intertwined, identities exchanged, lovers confused. The Witch has placed a spell on Howl. Does the clue to breaking it lie in a famous poem? And what will happen to Sophie Hatter when she enters Howl's castle?

All fans of classic fantasy books deserve the pleasure of reading those by Diana Wynne Jones, whose acclaim included the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. As Neil Gaiman stated, she was "quite simply the best writer for children of her generation."

The three books in the World of Howl are:

• Howl's Moving Castle
• Castle in the Air
• House of Many Ways

Other beloved series from Dianna Wynne Jones include the Chronicles of Chrestomanci and the Dalemark Quartet.

“‘If she can see it, she can be it.’ With this story, girls can see leaders and be inspired to become one. A book for all ages and genders!” - Geena Davis, Founder and Chair, Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media 

This edition of Margot Lee Shetterly’s acclaimed book is perfect for young readers. It's the powerful story of four African-American female mathematicians at NASA who helped achieve some of the greatest moments in our space program. 

Before John Glenn orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as “human computers” used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.

This book brings to life the stories of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden, who lived through the Civil Rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the movement for gender equality, and whose work forever changed the face of NASA and the country.

“Emerson's writing explodes off the page in this irresistible space adventure, filled with startling plot twists, diabolical aliens, and (my favorite!) courageous young heroes faced with an impossible task.” —Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Unwanteds series

Or so he thinks. Because before this day is over, Liam and Phoebe will make a series of profound discoveries about the nature of time and space and find out that the human race is just one of many in our universe locked in a dangerous struggle for survival.

"A publisher in New York asked me to write down what I know about the Greek gods, and I was like, Can we do this anonymously? Because I don't need the Olympians mad at me again. But if it helps you to know your Greek gods, and survive an encounter with them if they ever show up in your face, then I guess writing all this down will be my good deed for the week."

So begins Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, in which the son of Poseidon adds his own magic--and sarcastic asides--to the classics. He explains how the world was created, then gives readers his personal take on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus. Percy does not hold back. "If you like horror shows, blood baths, lying, stealing, backstabbing, and cannibalism, then read on, because it definitely was a Golden Age for all that."

Dramatic full-color illustrations throughout by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco make this volume--a must for home, library, and classroom shelves--as stunning as it is entertaining.
