The Wild World Handbook: HabitatsHow Adventurers, Artists, Scientists—

and You—Can Protect the Earth

By Andrea Debbink

Climate change is a defining issue of our lifetime, but research shows that awe is a more powerful motivator for action than fear. With that idea in mind, The Wild World Handbook: Habitats offers a guide to environmental stewardship and the diverse habitats we call home.

Inside middle grade readers will find inspiration, actionable advice, and tales of adventure and optimism about people whose encoun-ters with nature prompted them to act on its behalf. Each chapter explores a different habitat—Mountain, Forest, Grassland, Desert, Rainforest, Freshwater, Ocean, Arctic, and Cities—and includes stories of environmental stewardship, creative activities to engage with the natural world, and bios of diverse outdoor adventurers, scientists, and artists. Kids will discover that no matter where they live or how they engage with nature, they have the ability to make positive change in their world.

This is the first book in a new series, with a handbook on wildlife to follow.

ANDREA DEBBINK is a writer and a former editor at American Girl magazine, where she special-ized in creating nonfiction content that empowered girls to explore their potential. She is the award-win-ning author of Spark: A Guide to Ignite the Creativity

Inside You and Think for Yourself: The Ultimate Guide to Critical Thinking in an Age of Information Overload. She is currently managing editor at the Art of Simple and co-host of the top-ranked podcast Simple. Visit her website, andreadebbink.com.Author residence: Madison, WI

From a former editor at American Girl magazine comes

an inspiring illustrated guide to the natural world—empowering the next generation of climate activists and nature lovers to protect the earth’s habitats.

—Kirsten Miller, New York Times best-selling co-author of the Nightmares! series

After the dramatic events of Spark and the League of Ursus, everything seems to be returning to normal . . . until Spark is summoned before the mysterious Grand Sleuth, the high council of teddy bears. Its members, who haven’t been heard from in decades, task Spark with locating and closing the portals to the monsters’ domain.

During her investigation, Spark discovers that the Grand Sleuth is not what it seems: to save themselves, they have formed a terrible alliance with an army of monsters. Once again, the intrepid teddy must enlist the help of her fearful friends to stop the Grand Sleuth from ripping a hole between worlds so big that it can never be repaired. Meanwhile, Spark realizes that harnessing the growing power of Loretta, her owner, may be the key to saving them all . . .

Featuring a new cast of characters, fresh settings, and lots of action, thrills, and humor, this exciting installment in the League of Ursus series is sure to delight fans of Toy Story and Stranger Things, kids who love monsters and magic, and anyone who’s ever squeezed a teddy close at night.

Whisper Down the LaneA Novel

By Clay McLeod Chapman

Richard doesn’t have a past. For him, there is only the present: a new marriage to Tamara, a first chance at fatherhood to her son Elijah, a quiet but pleasant life as an art teacher at Elijah’s elemen-tary school, and the dream of becoming a real artist someday. Then the body of a rabbit, ritualistically murdered, appears on the school playground with a birthday card for Richard tucked underneath. Richard doesn’t have a birthday, but Sean does.

Sean is a six-year-old boy in 1980s Virginia. His father has just walked out and his mother is juggling multiple jobs while living on food stamps. Meanwhile, all the grown-ups in his life seem worried. Cult leaders, serial killers, and stranger danger is on the rise, with moral crusaders and televangelists stoking the fires of panic. In this pressure cooker environment, Sean’s school sends a note to parents alerting them that a teacher is under investigation. Sean likes Mr. Woodhouse, but when his mother asks if the bruises caused by the school bully were really caused by Mr. Woodhouse, a few small lies spiral into a terrible tragedy. Now, thirty years later, those lies have come back to haunt Richard: someone knows who he really is—and they’re out for revenge.

Inspired by the McMartin preschool trial and the Satanic Panic of the ’80s, this novel from the critically praised author of The Remaking delivers a nuanced portrait of parenthood and mass hysteria.

CLAY MCLEOD CHAPMAN is the creator of the storytelling session “The Pumpkin Pie Show” and the author of rest area, nothing untoward, and the Tribe trilogy. He is the co-author of the middle grade novel Wendell and Wild, with Nightmare Before

Christmas director Henry Selick. In the world of comics, Chapman’s work includes Lazaretto, Iron Fist: Phantom Limb, and Edge of Spiderverse, among others. He also writes for the screen, including The Boy (SXSW 2015), Henley (Sundance 2012), and late bloomer (Sundance 2005).Author residence: Brooklyn, NY

Inspired by the McMartin preschool trial and the Satanic Panic of

the ‘80s, the critically acclaimed author of The Remaking delivers

another pulse pounding true-crime inspired horror novel.


COFFEE BASICS 13

ANATOMY OF A COFFEE CHERRY

There’s a lot going on inside a single coffee cherry—much more than just the two beans that typically grow in each one. Let’s take a look at these layers.

Skin (exocarp): The outer skin of the cherry.

Pulp (mesocarp): Made up of water and sugar. Once the beans are removed, the leftover skins and pulp of the coffee cherry can be dried as Cascara (which comes from the Spanish for “husk”) and brewed to make a tea-like infusion.

Mucilage (parenchyma): A viscous sugar-rich layer that covers each seed.

Parchment (endocarp): The paperlike hull around each bean.

Silver skin (spermoderm): An additional layer around each bean, which comes off during roasting (when it’s referred to as “chaff”).

Bean (endoderm): Most coffee cherries contain two beans (or seeds). However, 5% of cherries produce only one bean, known as a peaberry (see page 21).
