100 Cupboards  (100 Cupboards #1) by   N.D. Wilson   For the tween set, this mildly scary (actually, thrilling rather than truly scary) is a great world hopping fantasy read. There are definitely formulaic portions to the plot (kid doesn't feel special, turns out to be really special) but there are lots if very nice character moments. The family that the main character stays with is fun. The three girls are different from each other, but not stereotyped, and the dad is surprisingly engaging. Should appeal to girls and boys, an advanced 8 to 14 - Miss Kelly

Mythology for the littlest readers

Mini Myths: Don't Get Lost, Odysseus! (Mini Myths)  by Joan Holub , Leslie Patricelli (Illustrations)   Accurate re-tellings of Mythology these stories are NOT. Super-cute and wonderful Board Books anyway? Why, yes! Yes they are!  Using the names and the core element of a classic Greco-Roman mythological tale, these Mini Myths talk to pre-schoolers. Odysseus gets lost, Pandora touches something she shouldn't, Icarus isn't careful. These tales are couched in terms the little ones understand. Then, at the back, a more accurate summary of the actual tale is given, again at kid level. HIGHLY recommend this super stinking cute series.  ALSO: diverse cast and characters through the series  #BoardBooks #FamilyTies #StoriesReimagined #WeNeedDiverseBooks
