The Wild Book
Summary
“We walked toward the part of the library where the air smelled as if it had been interred for years.... Finally, we got to the hallway where the wooden floor was the creakiest, and we sensed a strange whiff of excitement and fear. It smelled like a creature from a bygone time. It smelled like a dragon.” Thirteen-year-old Juan’s summer is off to a terrible start. First, his parents separate. Then, almost as bad, Juan is sent away to his strange Uncle Tito’s house for the entire break! Who wants to live with an oddball recluse who has zigzag eyebrows, drinks 15 cups of smoky tea a day, and lives inside a huge, mysterious library? As Juan adjusts to his new life among teetering, dusty shelves, he notices something odd: the books move on their own! He rushes to tell Uncle Tito, who lets his nephew in on a secret: Juan is a Princeps Reader, which means books respond magically to him, and he’s the only one who can find the elusive, never-before-read Wild Book. But will Juan and his new friend Catalina get to The Wild Book before the wicked, story-stealing Pirate Book does? An unforgettable adventure story about books, libraries, and the power of reading, The Wild Book is the young-audiences debut by beloved, prize-winning Mexican author Juan Villoro. It has sold more than one million copies in Spanish.

The Lornea Island Detective Club
Summary
At just 14 years old, Billy Wheatley has already solved two murders - well sort of. So it’s only natural he should open a detective agency on the windswept and lonely Lornea Island. It’s less likely he should get an actual client - and a partner - but then both are a little crazy, in their own way. Billy rapidly finds himself investigating the case of a man who disappeared 40 years ago in mysterious circumstances. And though it seems like ancient history, his erratic efforts disturb clues that were meant to be long-buried. And the people that buried them. At the same time, Billy’s own hidden past comes back to haunt him in a way he least expects. Billy must use his unique combination of charm, youthful optimism, and scientific cunning to solve two mysteries before it’s too late. Because at least one of the people he thinks he can trust is out to kill him. It’s just not the one he thinks it is. The Lornea Island Detective Club is the sequel to The Things You Find in Rockpools, which was an Amazon best seller in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada in 2018. It sold over 100,000 copies and has over 2,000 international reviews with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5.
