The Case of the Missing Auntie

By Michael Hutchinson

In the store

A really interesting read! The Mighty Muskrats - Atim, Sam, Otter and Chickadee - are having lots of fun at the exhibition fair until Chickadee discovers a disturbing family secret: her grandpa’s missing little sister was adopted by strangers without her parents' permission. The Mighty Muskrats need to solve the mystery of Auntie's disappearance! I would rate this book a ⅘. - Gwen, 11

Donut Feed the Squirrels

By Mika Song

In the store

A funny and beautifully illustrated graphic novel about two squirrels that go on a massive adventure for some donuts. There are explosions of frosting, roller skates and lots and lots of donuts! My favourite part was when the squirrels were doing a funny chant because their dance was hilarious. A great book for kids new to chapter books - 4 out of 5 stars. - Lily, 8

When I Hit the Road

By Nancy J. Cavanaugh

In the store

Samantha loves journalling, but her mom wants her to try something different: writing to her future self about a trip she and her Grandma are embarking on. Samantha is worried that her grandma will still be the boring person she was before she moved to Florida, but no - her grandma is now a fun loving, awesome person! Their trip around Florida has its ups and downs, but Samantha now loves her grandma more than ever. My favourite part was when Samantha and her Grandma barely avoided a crocodile attack! I think kids aged 10-14 would like this book - it's really funny and I rate it 5/5! - Maggie, 11

Brother's Keeper

By Julie Lee

In the store

Brother’s Keeper is a historical book that really pulls you in! Two siblings make the long trek from North Korea to South Korea alone in the middle of winter. You really feel that you are with them in all their struggles and hardships. The way the characters are described make them seem like they are your friends. At the end of the book, I still wanted to know what happened next! Kids 10-14 would enjoy this book - I rate it 4/5. - Rebecca

Race to the Sun

By Rebecca Roanhorse

In the store

There are invisible monsters everywhere that no one can see except one girl. When Nizhoni's dad is kidnapped by a monster, she begins a quest to get him back. Using weapons that belong to the Sun, Nizhoni and her friends travel to four mountains, collecting gems to pay Spiderwoman! This book is full of adventure and good for kids aged 9-13, because there is some scary parts but not too much. - Parker
