| By (author): Patti Edgar, Patti Edgar |

| On the last day of elementary school, eleven-year-old Anna finds a leather-bound book about handwriting analysis. Anna could use help deciphering people. Her best friend has started wearing mascara and plans to spend the summer with a more fashionable classmate. And her parents threaten to give away her tortoises just because she's a little forgetful about taking care of the sick one.Why does everyone expect Anna to change before middle school starts? She's going to stay exactly the same. After all, large loopy letters, like Anna's, show she's perceptive and generous. It's everyone else's sloppy writing that is so hard to understand. But a mysterious note forces Anna to make a choice between her graphology obsession and the people â and tortoises â she cares about the most. |

"Bossy, inventive Anna is authentic and endearing. Her dilemmas and struggles -- especially when her creative solutions breed new problems -- are convincing, at once familiar and fresh
A droll, deftly executed debut.” -- Kirkus Reviews

“Anna is a relatable heroine” –Highly Recommended, CM Reviews
|
|
“Patti Edgar’s lighthearted debut novel perfectly captures all the difficulties and dramas of the early middle school years. Anna is a refreshingly complex character; her often misguided endeavors lead to one predicament after another and will resonate with middle grade readers. Full of heartbreak and humor, Anna, Analyst charmed me from start to finish.” – Tara Gilboy, author of Unwritten and Rewritten
|
|
“A funny, insightful book about what it’s like to be on the precipice of middle school, when you know who you are but not necessarily how you fit. Fair warning: You may never look at your own handwriting, or tortoises (not turtles), the same way.” – Craig Battle, author of the Camp Average series"

| ISBN10-13: 177337124X : 9781773371245 |
| "Guaranteed to hook teen readers ... Pam Withers has crafted such a thrilling yet utterly believable text that this reader stopped at several points to Google details, not believing it was fiction ... It's a gripping story that makes tough choices relatable, difficult concepts understandable, and adventure unforgettable." â Canadian Teacher Magazine Hudson Greer and his caving partner, Jett, are determined to become teen legends who discover a long-sought passageway that connects two giant cave systems in their little mountain town. But they're haunted by the history of a giant sinkhole that opened up and swallowed the town's fully-packed church, steeple and all. Dozens were killed, including Hudsonâ s grandfather. Hudson knows it's in danger of happening again; he just doesn't know when or where. Can his caving instincts and science knowledge predict or prevent the next disaster? Are the shoddy logging practices of the town's main employer tempting fate? And who's on whose side when business and political shenanigans mix with evaded environmental codes? |

"“It’s hard not to like this realistic, convincing, coming-of-age summer-camp story with a hint of mystery.” — Kirkus
|
|
“Told in the first person by Cedar, this engrossing and believable story captures perfectly the angst of a pre-teen trying to find his place in the world. Cedar’s story is told with wry, self-deprecating humor while subtly revealing that, despite his doubts about himself and his dubious athletic abilities, he is very much his own person, stronger and wiser than he is aware. The main characters in this book are pleasingly portrayed as real people doing their best according to their lights
a fast-paced and intriguing read.” — Highly recommended, CM Magazine
|
|
“Surrender yourself to Cedar Dance! You have to love him as he fights to assert himself against his hippy mother (Moon Dance), his strong-willed friend (Jessica), and the coolest boy at camp, who may be trying to humiliate Cedar every chance he gets. Add in a camp mystery in the dark woods and a family secret – and you have a page turner that’s both funny and touching. This is a coming of age story that deals with serious topics – saving the wilderness, searching for identity – but which never loses its humane heart or its sense of humour. A treat to read.” — Shaena Lambert, author of Oh, My Darling and Radiance
|
|
“The search for his father provides adventure, mystery, suspense, and an unexpected conclusion. While the action is successfully maintained throughout, much of the pleasure comes from Cedar’s first person narrative, and the immediacy created by his direct address to the reader
This satisfying novel depicts a non-traditional family, who overcome their different opinions and life choices to be mutually supportive, bonded by tolerance and affection.” — Joan Givner, author of the Ellen Fremendon series"

IODE Violet Downey Book Award - Shortlist “real and true to life
As the story moves along, [Anita Daher] does a good job of slowly revealing more and more background information about Tia and Tag’s relationship with their mother and their life situation with her. Tia’s relationship, hot and cold, with her foster mom also rings true to life as Tia wrestles with all of her emotions.” — Recommended by CM Magazine!

| Title: Game's End |
| By (author): Natasha Deen |
| ISBN10-13: 1927855853 : 9781927855850 |
| Selected for the Best Books For Kids & Teens Selected for The Moonbeam Childrenâ s Book Awards Maggie Johnson is dealing with too much â the rising distrust and hate of the townspeople, her growing (and unpredictable) supernatural powers, and the dead, waiting to be transitioned from this side to the next. Right now, theyâ re her saving grace. But when a soul-eater steals the ghost sheâ s transitioning, things donâ t just take a turn for the worse, they take a turn for the personal. This thing has a connection to her and to her family, and itâ s coming for revenge. As Maggie races to stop the entity, the body count ticks up, and the soul-eaterâ s touch reaches close to home. The answers Maggie seeks are coming to a head, but will she survive the revelation? "[I]f youâ re a new reader to the Guardian series, youâ ve got three books of robust plotting, clever characters and bright banter ahead of you. Enjoy!" â CanLit for Little Canadians "Once again, Natasha Deen has produced an interesting mix of events, characters and genres within one young adult novel. There are elements of murder and mystery, horror, fantasy and the paranormal all within the same story. Yet, with all of this mix, Gameâ s End remains a coming-of-age novel at its core" â CM Magazine |

| Title: Gatekeeper |
| By (author): Natasha Deen |
| ISBN10-13: 192785539X : 9781927855393 |
| Selected for The Moonbeam Childrenâ s Book Awards Short-listed for the Alberta Readersâ Choice Awards A month after solving her first murder (and almost getting killed in the process), Maggie Johnson and her soul brother Serge Popov are hoping for some peace and quiet to figure outâ ¦well, everything. But the dead wait for no one. Especially a dead guy like Kent Thomas. He was every parentâ s dream, the kind of good kid who excelled at school, and never caused trouble. And he was the kind of guy all the guys liked. Add in a hot factor that made him every girlâ s fantasy, and he was the least likely person to be murdered. So who tossed him off a cliff? Maggieâ s determined to find the killer but if sheâ s not careful, sheâ ll end up just like the soul sheâ s trying to save. "Deen is able to make this mixture of the paranormal and mystery genres work beautifully â ¦ Natasha Deen has left some tantalizing clues at the end of the book, suggesting that there may well be a sequel to Guardian and Gatekeeper. Readers can only hope this will happen and that there will be more novels to challenge and interest so many fans â whether of horror, paranormal or mystery â and keep them happily reading." â CM Magazine |
