Bestselling author Daniel Pinkwater (Lizard Music, The Hoboken Chicken Emergency) returns in classic form with the illustrated, middle-grade adventures of one young Molly O'Malley: a dwarf (well, dwarf-ish) girl who just won't settle for a boring life in the Catskills. "Daniel Pinkwater's books don't strive for greatness; they don't seem to be trying at all. That's the magic of them." --The New York Times Book Review Molly O'Malley is a clever, adventurous girl. She is also a Dwerg. Dwergs are strange folks who live very quietly in the Catskill mountains, have lots of gold, and are kind of like dwarves (but also not!). Molly isn't interested in cooking and weaving, as she is expected to be. So, she sets off to see the world for herself. Which means a new job, a trip to New York City, prowling gangsters, an adorable king, a city witch, and many historical ghosts. More importantly, it means excellent pizza, new friends, and very quick thinking. Now someone is pursuing the Dwergs for their gold. Can Molly O'Malley save the day?

A newly-arrived vampire in Blinsh, Pinksylvania, bites one resident, and the next night the two bite two more, then the four bite eight until all of Pinksylvania and, perhaps, the world, has been bitten.

Ein Knuffelchen zum Liebhaben. Bär und Hase sind beste Freunde. Sie stromern gern durch den Wald, singen Lieder und führen tiefgründige Gespräche. Mehr oder weniger jedenfalls. Eines Tages fragt der Hase, ob sie nicht ein Kuffelchen bräuchten. Aber was genau ist ein Knuffelchen? Vielleicht irgendein Tier? Eines, das einen lieb hat und um das man sich kümmern muss? Sie denken sehr viel nach. Könnte ein Tannenzapfen ein Knuffelchen sein? Oder eine Raupe? Nein, ein Knuffelchen ist doch ein Kätzchen. Das gefundene Kätzchen macht »Quak« und ist grün. Das stört die beiden überhaupt nicht. Zarte Illustrationen in sanften Farben unterstützen diese leichtfüßige und humorvolle Freundschaftsgeschichte.

An ALA Notable Book Kids ages 9-12 will “delight in [the] oddness” of this Home Alone-style tale set in the 1970s—from a prolific children’s author who captures “a magic that’s not like anyone else’s” (Neil Gaiman). With Victor’s parents out of town, he is free to investigate the mysterious lizard musicians who have recently appeared on TV . . . Things Victor loves: pizza with anchovies, grape soda, B movies aired at midnight, the evening news. And with his parents off at a resort and his older sister shirking her babysitting duties, Victor has plenty of time to indulge himself and to try a few things he’s been curious about. Exploring the nearby city of Hogboro, he runs into a curious character known as the Chicken Man (a reference to his companion, an intelligent hen named Claudia who lives under his hat). The Chicken Man speaks brilliant nonsense, but he seems to be hip to the lizard musicians (real lizards, not men in lizard suits) who’ve begun appearing on Victor’s television after the broadcast of the late-late movie. Are the lizards from outer space? From “other space”? Together Victor and the Chicken Man, guided by the able Claudia, journey to the lizards’ floating island, a strange and fantastic place that operates with an inspired logic of its own.
