The Picks:

Double Booking Volume 1 The Tail Of The Mummy Cat GN – Papercutz introduces a new series where the perspectives of the characters create two different adventures. Otto and Nan are siblings on a trip to Egypt. When they stumble upon a sarcophagus, they accidentally free a mummy cat from a pharaoh’s chamber! Their search for the mummy cat turns into an adventure as they explore the city and learn historical facts while saving each other from danger and discovering truths about life. And with a flip of the book, see them survive the same adventure twice! The end of the book is just the beginning! This title is a great addition to any middle school library.

Surviving The Wild Rainbow The Koala SC – Henry Holt releases an early reader graphic novel filled with humor and suspense. Rainbow the Koala is ready to go off and live on his own—or so his mom says. Rainbow is scared as he struggles to find a tree to call his home while a kookaburra bird cackles at him. But his most dangerous test is still to come as Rainbow runs out of water from the scorching heat and he must somehow survive a bush fire. Reading like Planet Earth meets Narwhal andJelly, this inspired-by-a-true-story title also includes animal facts and steps kids can take to help protect the environment.
