Alan Gratz plunges readers into the chaos and split-second, life-altering decisions of an Okinawa battlefield in Grenade.

7-year-old Bana used Twitter to alert the world to the plight of Syrian families caught in the crossfires of a civil war.  Her incredible story is now in book form (Dear World).

Many have sighed for the chance to rocket into outer space - but could you spend an entire year there?  Astronaut Scott Kelly did, and shares his experience in Endurance. 

Large print titles are a fantastic resource for kids who are struggling to read but don't want to be seen with "little kid books."  Larger font size and more white space make it easier to detect and decode individual words.  Look for the books with green tape along the top of the spine!
