Just Right for Two

Bedtime Math
by Laura Overdeck; illustrated by Jim Paillot
Families will find fun, mischief-making math problems to tackle — math that isn’t just kid-friendly, but actually kid-appealing. With over 100 math riddles on topics from jalapeños and submarines to roller coasters and flamingos, along with three different levels of challenge (wee ones, little kids and big kids), there’s something for everyone.

Tween
Shipwreck Island
by S.A. Bodeen
Sarah Robinson thought it was bad when her dad suddenly decided to remarry, but that was only because she didn’t know what was coming next: a mandatory family cruise with her dad, new stepmother and new stepbrothers, Marco and Nacho (who are just as angry about the situation). But when a freak storm leaves them shipwrecked, the reluctantly blended family has to pull together. Recommendation courtesy of Twinsburg Public Library.
