But, the characters in the book have a problem. They only have half of the code that they need to use to operate the LVR. The solution is...

Northward to the Moon (Hardcover)
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Schwartz & Wade, 02/01/2010
Anna says: A lot happens in the gripping novel, Northward to the Moon, by the Nebery Honor award winner Polly Horvath. In this amusing tale, 12 year old Jane lives with her mom, step-dad, and three younger siblings, one girl and 2 boys in the desolate town of Saskatchewan, Canada. When her stepdad, Ned gets fired from his job of a French teacher (he doesn't speak French) he family is forced to move. They decide to drive up to Alaska so Ned can connect with a few friends, but when they come into some unexpected cash they go on a wild goose chase to return it. I would recommend it for fans of Everything on a Waffle. You will love the crazy antics and hilarious peril in Northward to the Moon!
Summer According to Humphrey (Hardcover)
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Putnam Juvenile, 02/01/2010
Brody says: "This book is about Humphrey. He is sad that school is ending. But when he finds out he’s going to camp Happy Hollow, he gets exited because he’s going with his friend Og. It’s a really good book. I liked it because in Camp Happy Hollow there was a competition called clash of the cabins and there were sports like volleyball, canoeing, and swimming. Your cabin had to win the most points in all of the sports and you would get to go to a really spooky cabin. It was called Haunted Hollow. I would recommend it to my friends because I liked Humphrey and Og!"

Big Nate: In a Class by Himself (Hardcover)
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: HarperCollins, 04/01/2010
Cade says: One morning, Nate gets a fortune cookie from his friend Francis. Ever since then, Nate has been trying to "surpass all others" as the fortune cookie told him he would. But Nate has been working too hard at that, and at the end of the day he ends up in the detention room with seven detentions. The author of this book definitely has some imagination. I'd give this book 5-stars! I like this one even more than Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
Finn McCool and the Great Fish (Hardcover)
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Sleeping Bear Press, 12/01/2009
Brody says: "Finn McCool is about giant named Finn needing courage. An old man tells him to catch the great fish. So Finn goes to the river and catches the great Fish. And he is going to eat the fish, but actually gets some of the fish blood on his finger. And then he licks it and he feels courage build up in him. I liked the book because normally a fish can’t give you courage. It’s kind of magical. I would recommend it to my friends. The illustrations were good."
