"Windblowne", by Stephen Messer, is an engaging new fantasy-adventure about a boy named Oliver who grows up in the treehouse town of Windblowne. The highlight of the year is the kite festival, but Oliver struggles to make even one kite fly - or even hold together - successfully. Just when he is too discouraged to go on, Oliver is thrown into the middle of a magical mystery, facing peril and as many twists as a kite's tail. Messer uses simple language and straightforward writing with great effectiveness, conjuring up a memorable world that can be approached by keen younger readers as well as readers aged 9-12 in search of something new. Additionally, this novel features cover art by Erwin Madrid which makes for one of the best covers we've seen in years.

"The Quiet Book", by Deborah Underwood, illustrated by Renata Liwska.

The Quiet Book is a gentle and observant book perfect for naptimes and bedtimes. The illustrations have a soft, nostalgic quality, and contain a few surprises. Readers learn about different kinds of quiet - some good, like "First snowfall quiet", and some more difficult, like "Jelly side down quiet". A clever and beautifully composed book, this is a wonderful addition to any collection. Since the author and illustrator share their favourite kinds of quiet on the back flap, we'd like to add our own:
