Synopsis Wed Wabbit by : Lissa Evans

A ten-year-old girl is transported to a world ruled by a toy bunny in this hilarious adventure perfect for fans of Chris Grabenstein and Lemony Snicket. Your name is Fidge and you’re nearly eleven. You’ve been hurled into a strange world. You have three companions: two are unbelievably weird and the third is your awful cousin, Graham. You must solve a series of nearly impossible clues. You need to deal with a cruel stuffed animal dictator and three thousand Wimbley Woos (yes, you read that sentence correctly). And the whole situation—the whole, entire thing—is your fault. Wed Wabbit is an adventure about friendship, danger, and the terror of never being able to get back home again. And it’s funny. It’s seriously funny. Praise for Wed Wabbit “This well-crafted journey of self-realization amuses at every turn.” —Publishers Weekly “Properly funny . . . Deceptively wise.” —The Guardian (UK)

Synopsis Man at the Helm by : Nina Stibbe

A New York Times Notable Book of 2015: From the writer of the hugely acclaimed Love, Nina comes a sharply funny debut novel about a gloriously eccentric family. Soon after her parents' separation, nine-year-old Lizzie Vogel moves with her siblings and newly single mother to a tiny village in the English countryside, where the new neighbors are horrified by their unorthodox ways and fatherless household. Lizzie's theatrical mother only invites more gossip by spending her days drinking whiskey, popping pills, and writing plays. The one way to fit in, the children decide, will be to find themselves a new man at the helm. The first novel from a remarkably gifted writer with a voice all her own, Man at the Helm is a hilarious and occasionally heartbreaking portrait of childhood in an unconventional family.
