Bad Magic

Magic is BAD. As in fake. Cheesy. Unreal. At least, that's what Clay, who has seen one magic show too many, thinks. When words from his journal appear mysteriously on his school wall as graffiti, he never imagines that magic might be to blame. And when the same graffiti lands him at Earth Ranch, a camp for "troubled" kids on a remote volcanic island, magic is the last thing he expects to find there. But at Earth Ranch, there is one strange surprise after another, until Clay no longer knows what to expect. Is he really talking to a llama? Did he really see a ghost? What is the scary secret hidden in the abandoned library? The only thing he knows for sure is that behind the clouds of vog (volcanic smog), nothing is as it seems. Can he solve the riddle of Earth Ranch before trouble erupts? Elusive author Pseudonymous Bosch introduces an extraordinary new series that will have you believing in the unbelievable. <blockquote type="cite">

PEMDAS Gets Lost

A young squirrel named PEMDAS decides math is a silly game to play. But once he gets lost in the woods, a new friend shows him it can be fun to follow the steps back home. Written by a certified middle school math teacher, "Math Is Nuts" books read like entertaining children's stories, rather than educational texts. Each step to solving a math problem is illustrated simply and clearly, with the abstract numbers and operations facing whimsical watercolor characters and a plot to make the problem meaningful and memorable. The text is suitable for older children to read independently, but it is also great for parents, grandparents, teachers, and mentors to read and talk about with children of any age. "PEMDAS Gets Lost" focuses on using the order of operations to both simplify multi-step expressions and to solve equations. These skills are generally taught in the middle school grades. Only whole numbers and an exponent of two (squaring) are used to target the order of operations skills. Fractions, decimals, and more exponents can be found in other books of this series coming soon!

What Is Climate Change?

Learn more about what climate change means and how it's affecting our planet. The earth is definitely getting warmer. There's no argument about that, but who or what is the cause? And why has climate change become a political issue? Are humans at fault? Is this just a natural development? While the vast majority of scientists who study the environment agree that humans play a large part in climate change, there is a counterargument. Author Gail Herman presents both sides of the debate in this fact-based, fair-minded, and well-researched book that looks at the subject from many perspectives, including scientific, social, and political.
