January 2009

The fourth installments of two popular fantasy/adventure series are now available in paperback: THE CURSE OF THE GLOAMGLOZER (The Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell) and THE BATTLE FOR SKANDIA (Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan). January’s roundup of New in Paperback titles also includes FEATHERS, a novel about differences, understanding, faith and hope from award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson, who introduces her audience to two memorable characters; CLEMENTINE’S LETTER, Sara Pennypacker’s third chapter book starring third-grader Clementine, who this time hatches a plan to return her beloved teacher to the classroom; and SWORD QUEST, teen author Nancy Yi Fan’s richly layered novel full of adventure, bravery, heroism and a fascinating bird world.
