How To Lose a Leumur
by Fran Preston-Gannon
“Everyone knows that once a lemur takes a liking to you, there is not much that can be done about it.” So begins this charming tale of a little boy and the lemurs that love him — so much, in fact, that the boy can’t escape no matter what he tries. When he finally loses them, he suddenly feels alone. Will his lemur friends come back?

Greenglass House
by S.A. Bodeen.
In the midst of a wild snowstorm, five unusual guests turn up unannounced at the creaky old Greenglass Inn. Milo, the innkeepers’ son, is annoyed by the interruption to his winter break, but his frustration turns to intrigue when several items go missing from the guests’ rooms. Milo draws on the skills of Negret (his character from the role-playing game Odd Trails) to investigate the strange thefts.
