This Week’s Top 5 Picks

  • Celebrate Easter with Bluey, Bingo, and all their friends and family in this search-and-find activity book, based on the wildly successful animated series Bluey, as seen on Disney+!

    Hooray, it's Easter! The Heeler family has so many plans to celebrate. But with the chaos of the holidays, it's easy for things--and family members--to get lost. Help Bluey and her family search for painted eggs, baskets, sweet treats, and more in this colorful and exciting activity book that's perfect for celebrating Easter! Filled with fun surprises and an answer key in the back, this interactive seek-and-find is Easter fun the whole family can enjoy.

  • From New York Times bestselling author​ James Patterson, an undercover FBI agent investigates a family with suspected ties to organized crime--by posing as their live-in nanny.

    No one sees her, but she sees everything. Elinor Gilbert was once a young woman with a thriving career at the FBI.

    Now decades past solving crimes with the bureau, she is personally and professionally forgettable.

    Which is exactly what her former FBI boss needs. He disguises Elinor as a middle-aged nanny, and casts her as an agent on the inside of his investigation into a New York art dealer suspected of ties to organized crime.

    But as Elinor pushes toward the truth, her superpower--anonymity--morphs into a fatal flaw.

    The more the invisible woman integrates into her "host" family, the more dangerously memorable she becomes.

  • From the bestselling author of The Taking of Jemima Boone, the unbelievable true story of a real-life Swiss Family Robinson (and their dog) who faced sharks, shipwreck, and betrayal.

    On December 10, 1887, a shark fishing boat disappeared. On board the doomed vessel were the Walkers--the ship's captain Frederick, his wife Elizabeth, their three teenage sons, and their dog--along with the ship's crew. The family had spotted a promising fishing location when a terrible storm arose, splitting their vessel in two and leaving those onboard adrift on the perilous sea.

    When the castaways awoke the next morning, they discovered they had been washed ashore--on an island inhabited by a large but ragged and emaciated man who introduced himself as Hans. Hans appeared to have been there for a while and could quickly educate the Walkers and their crew on the island's resources. But Hans had a secret . . . and as the Walker family gradually came to learn more, what seemed like a stroke of luck to have the mysterious man's assistance became something ominous, something darker.

    Like David Grann and Stacy Schiff, Matthew Pearl unveils one of the most incredible yet little-known historical true stories, and the only known instance in history of an actual family of castaways. Save Our Souls asks us to consider who we might become if we found ourselves trapped on a deserted island.

  • Splash into a fun-filled adventure with Red and Blue! This adorable Little Golden Book, based on Netflix's new series Dr. Seuss's Red Fish, Blue Fish, teaches the littlest readers about opposites.

    Red Fish and Blue Fish drank tea in the park,

    But swimming nearby was an awfully big shark!

    Follow Red Fish and Blue Fish as they try to avoid a big, scary shark and learn along the way that he might not be so dangerous after all! This playful, rhyming Little Golden Book features a story from Netflix's preschool show Dr. Seuss's Red Fish, Blue Fish, based on the beloved Dr. Seuss classic One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

    Little ones will giggle while they learn that you should never judge others based on their looks!

  • Laura Dave continues Hannah Hall's pulse-pounding journey in the riveting and deeply moving sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Apple TV+ show, The Last Thing He Told Me.

    How far would you go for a second chance?

    Five years after her husband, Owen, disappeared, Hannah Hall and her stepdaughter, Bailey, have settled into a new life in Southern California. Together, they've forged a relationship with Bailey's grandfather Nicholas and are putting the past behind them.

    But when Owen shows up at Hannah's new exhibition, she knows that she and Bailey are in danger again.

    Hannah and Bailey are forced to go on the run in a relentless race to keep their past from catching up with them. As a thrilling drama unfolds, Hannah risks everything to get Bailey to safety--and finds there just might be a way back to Owen and their long-awaited second chance.

    A gripping, rich, and deeply moving novel about the power of forgiveness, The First Time I Saw Him picks up right where the epilogue for the "genuinely moving" ( The New York Times) The Last Thing He Told Me left off, giving readers the eagerly awaited and absolutely exhilarating sequel to Dave's global blockbuster.

  • From the beloved author and illustrator behind the wintertime classic The Mitten comes an adventurous Christmas tale of a boy and his adorable pug who saves the day with his holiday sweater.

    "Brett's legions of fans will delight in this new Christmastime story, with plenty to pore over in the detailed, wintry illustrations." --Kirkus Reviews

    It's Christmas morning, and Theo's Yiayia has knitted his dog, Ari, a special red sweater. But when Ari shows his disinterest in the gift, Theo steps in to show his grandmother just how much they appreciate her kindness. He proposes a hike to Echo Lake, just him and Ari, where he can use his new snowshoes and Ari can sport his new sweater!

    The woods are a winter wonderland, and more snow swirls as they hike. But just when they reach the lake, Theo realizes Ari's sweater has disappeared, along with their tracks and every familiar landmark. Could they have lost Yiayia's gift and the way home?

    Luckily, Ari spots something in the snow that turns out to be a surprising solution to their predicament. And when they get home, they find an even bigger surprise from that amazing Christmas sweater.

    Jan Brett's story of the bond between boy and dog radiates warmth and charm, while her signature border details hint at a final Christmas miracle sure to wow any crowd. The Christmas Sweater is a beautiful tale that's sure to become an instant Christmas classic in every household.

  • A viral Booktok hit for fans of Sarah A. Parker, Jasmine Mas, Penn Cole, and Kerri Maniscalco, The Book of Azrael is the first in the internationally beloved, slowburn, high-stakes epic romantasy featuring a villainous shapeshifter heroine and a tortured God King in a steamy, monstrous world.

    ***DELUXE LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVER with stenciled edges, a beautiful foil-stamped hardcover, exclusive endpaper design with full-color illustrated character art, and an EXCLUSIVE BONUS SCENE!***

    Where there are gods, there are also monsters...

    A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Eoria to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her.

    In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago.

    Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.

  • A propulsive, never-before-told story of one family's shocking involvement as Nazi and Japanese spies during WWII and the pivotal role they played in the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

    It began with a letter from a screenwriter, asking about a story. Your family. World War II. Nazi spies. Christine Kuehn was shocked and confused. When she asked her seventy-year-old father, Eberhard, what this could possibly be about, he stalled, deflected, demurred, and then wept. He knew this day would come.

    The Kuehns, a prominent Berlin family, saw the rise of the Nazis as a way out of the hard times that had befallen them. When the daughter of the family, Eberhard's sister, Ruth, met Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels at a party, the two hit it off, and they had an affair. But Ruth had a secret--she was half Jewish--and Goebbels found out. Rather than having Ruth killed, Goebbels instead sent the entire Kuehn family to Hawaii, to work as spies half a world away. There, Ruth and her parents established an intricate spy operation from their home, just a few miles down the road from Pearl Harbor, shielding Eberhard from the truth. They passed secrets to the Japanese, leading to the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. After Eberhard's father was arrested and tried for his involvement in planning the assault, Eberhard learned the harsh truth about his family and faced a decision that would change the path of the Kuehn family forever.

    Jumping back and forth between Christine discovering her family's secret and the untold past of the spies in Germany, Japan, and Hawaii, Family of Spies is fast-paced history at its finest and will rewrite the narrative of December 7, 1941.

  • A Baby-sitters Club graphic novel adapted by National Book Award longlister and Eisner-nominated cartoonist Ellen T. Crenshaw!

    The Mancusis don't have any kids... but they sure do have a lot of pets! So when they're desperate for a sitter, who do they call? The Baby-sitters Club! Kristy feels pretty sure that the BSC does not pet-sit. But Jessi has always liked animals, and she talks Kristy into being okay with her taking the job.

    With snakes on the loose and sick hamsters, Jessi's got plenty of pet-sitting troubles, and things don't get any easier when she and her friends get into a big fight. Will Jessi be able to handle her pet-sitting job when things are going wrong with the baby-sitters, too?

  • The first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series, now in a special edition paperback with colorful stenciled edges! This edition includes never-before-seen sketches, a Q&A with author Tui T. Sutherland, and an alternate opening chapter. A must-have for FanWings of all ages!

    Clay has lived his whole life under the mountain. The MudWing dragonet knows that war is raging between the dragon tribes in the world outside -- a war that he and four other dragonets are destined to end, according to the mysterious Prophecy they've been taught. The five "chosen" dragonets were stolen from their homes while they were still in their eggs and hidden away ever since -- all to fulfill the Prophecy.

    But not every dragonet wants a destiny. And when danger threatens one of their own, Clay and his friends must choose freedom over fate...leave the mountain...and set the dragon world on a course that no one could have predicted.

  • In the thirteenth book in Stuart Gibbs's New York Times bestselling Spy School series, superspy middle schooler Ben Ripley goes off the grid to eliminate a cybersecurity threat.

    After a devious computer hacker pulls off the CIA's worst-case scenario, shutting down power networks all over the world, Ben and his fellow spies-in-training are forced to make a harrowing emergency landing of their plane in Indonesia. While chaos begins to erupt around the planet, Ben deduces that his team is closer to the mysterious hacker's base than anyone else. But with all computers and phones down, there's no way to communicate with anyone at the CIA. On their latest mission to save the world, Ben and his friends face a conniving villain, assassins, pirates, sharks, and very big lizards in the most remote--and deadly--location of any spy school yet!

    Ember is in charge while the baker takes a trip and he's excited to show what he can do! When an opinionated fairy princess swoops in demanding a cake, he eagerly agrees. So what if he's only baked bread before? How hard can it be?

    The sugar hits the fan when Ember's first attempt is a complete disaster. He tries again and again, but the royal customer is not happy. Everyone told Ember he was such a good baker, so why can't he get this right? If he doesn't figure it out soon, the only thing on the menu will be humble pie.

    Magic shimmers on every page of this whimsical story about how to bake a cake, make new friends and learn from your mistakes.
