Can you solve this month's real-life math mystery? —¡Vamos alumnos, al pasillo de los dulces! —exclamó la señorita Hanson.

Día de las brujas psicodélico —Oye, tengo una foto vieja de mi abuela vestida como tú, solo que ella no estaba disfrazada —dijo Kassandra cuando Ingrid entró al salón de clases—. Dijo que en su época creían verse muy bien. Normalmente su colegio tenía un código de vestimenta, pero era Halloween, el día de las brujas, y todos habían ido a la escuela disfrazados. Ingrid estaba vestida de hippie. Traía puesta una camisa de colores al batik, cuentas de colores, sandalias, y unas gafas con lentes color naranja en forma de corazones. Ingrid se quitó las gafas durante la clase, pero se las volvió a poner en la tarde a la hora de prepararse para la fiesta. Los alumnos estaban decorando el salón y pintando letreros para el desfile de la escuela. Quan, que pensaba que era muy chistoso, estaba colgando decoraciones al revés. Preston fingía que luchaba a espadas en su disfraz de piratas, y Ricky jugaba con sangre artificial después de ponerse un poco en su disfraz de zombi. Al acercarse la hora del desfile, Kassandra se dio cuenta de que uno de los letreros había sido decorado con una calabaza roja en vez de naranja. —¿A ver, quién es el chistoso? —preguntó Kassandra. Miró alrededor del salón en busca de una cara culpable. REVELA RESPUERTA

Ship Shape “Ahoy, matey!” Liam yelled, running into his older brother Theo’s bedroom. “Go back to bed,” Theo growled. “It’s six o’clock in the morning! I need my sleep, you know.” “But Theo, there’s part of a shipwreck out in the ocean! It looks like it’s been there for a hundred years!” “Then it will still be there when I get up,” Theo grumbled and rolled over. It was their family’s first morning of vacation after arriving late the night before at a beach they had never been to before. Liam was an early riser and had walked down to the beach just after dawn. Since Theo didn’t want to get up and no one else was awake, Liam went to his room to read. When Theo finally woke up around noon and went to the beach where his parents had already set up chairs and blankets, he saw sunburned people under umbrellas and sand crabs scurrying around, but nothing in the ocean except waves. “Have you seen a shipwreck out there?” Theo asked his parents. “No, but we’ve only been here for an hour,” their father said to Theo. “We slept in a little. Then the three of us went straight to the grocery store while you slept.” “After we put away the groceries we came here,” their mother added. “Liam told us about a shipwreck, but we haven’t seen it yet.” “The shipwreck is out there, and I’ll prove it,” Liam said. “How?” Theo asked.

It's a wonderful addition that brings diversity to children's literature, inspiring the next generation to appreciate and protect our natural world." - Grant Ballard , Ph.D., Chief Science Officer, Point Blue "In Tiny Tern Takes Flight, Donna B. McKinney invites readers into Tiny Tern and their flock’s enchanting migration journey. With Fiona Osbaldstone’s vibrant illustrations, this delightful tale sparks imagination and fosters a love for nature in young readers.” – S. Cargill , @shontalthebirder “The best children’s books should be familiar enough to be relatable – and mysterious enough to be intriguing. ‘Tiny Tern Takes Flight’ achieves both of these by telling the story of the Artic Tern - one of the world’s most itinerate travelers – who ventures from pole to pole annually in search of sun and food. Avian migration is truly one of the world’s most intriguing natural phenomena - this story can only help engage future naturalists and ornithologists.” – Dick Evans , San Francisco-based Documentary Photographer, Birder and author About the Author About the Illustrator Donna B. McKinney lived most of her life in the Washington, D.C. area, where she worked at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, writing about science. Now she has another great job—writing books for kids, including her previous release titled Lights On. Donna currently lives in North Carolina with two full-of-mischief dogs. When she’s not writing, she enjoys hiking, fishing, and playing a game called pickleball (kind of like a mix of tennis and ping pong). Born and bred in Kent, England, Fiona Osbaldstone loved painting as a kid and used to paint her own versions of Disney characters. She always wanted to do something with art and went to the Kent Institute of Art & Design. She was inspired by the works of David Shepherd and Norman Rockwell for their detail and diversely different styles. Her work includes natural history, botanicals, people, and scenes. Outside of the artistic field, although not too far removed, she loves pottery and makes and sells her own pieces. She enjoys photography as well as cycling but is “not too good at that and will invariably end up in a ditch.”

Lawn Ranger “Dad, we really need a new lawn mower,” Murphy said. Of all people, Murphy would know. Since he’d turned twelve, it had been his job to mow the lawn every Saturday morning. The family rule was that it had to be done before any fun activities. Murphy had done it so often that he even knew the exact number of times he had to go up and down the yard: 20 times in each direction. His father looked at the old lawn mower. It was hard to start, ran rough, and left the grass in clumps. “You’re right. Let’s go to the store and see what they have,” he said. At the store, Murphy’s father pointed one out. “Here’s the newest version of the model we have, with the same cutting blade, 60 centimeters across,” he said. “And here’s one with a 75-centimeter blade.” Murphy’s little brother, Hugh, who had come along, said, “Here’s one with a 60-centimeter blade, but it’s a mulching mower. It says its blade spins 20% faster than regular mowers.” “I think we should buy the one that lets me finish the yard in only 4/5 of the time it takes me now,” Murphy said. “Which one is that?” asked Hugh.
