The Great Blue Yonder—Alex Shearer

After finding himself dead

from a bike accident, Harry

emerges on the Other Side,

a strange land where dead

people wander about, wait-

ing to move on to the Great

Blue Yonder. Harry's not

sure exactly what the Great Blue Yonder is,

but he doesn't want to go there until he's

found some way to let his sister know that

he's sorry for the mean things he said to her

just before the accident. To do that, he'll

have to return to Earth as a ghost--and face

what life there is like without him.

Wonder—R.J. Palacio

August (Auggie) Pullman

was born with a facial de-

formity that prevented him

from going to a mainstream

school—until now. He's

about to start 5th grade at

Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the

new kid then you know how hard that can

be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid,

with an extraordinary face. But can he con-

vince his new classmates that he's just like

them, despite appearances?
