Orris and Timble : the beginning / Dicamillo, Kate
Beginning
"Orris the rat lives alone in an old barn surrounded by his treasures, until the day his solitude is disrupted by a sudden flutter of wings and a loud screech. A small owl has gotten caught in a trap in the barn. Can Orris "make the good and noble choice" (as the king on his prized sardine can might recommend) and rescue the owl, despite the fact that owls and rats are natural enemies? And if he does, will he be ready for the consequences? With humor and tenderness, two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo brings us this first of three tales celebrating unlikely friendship and the power of sharing stories and doing the right thing--a soon-to-be classic brought to expressive life by the full-color illustrations of Carmen Mok"--

But this year, Camp Sylvania is back and under new management -gentle, hippie-dippie Luna Lupowski. So the girls are convinced to give camp another try. All Nora wants is an unforgettable experience with her best friend. But it's hard to have fun with Maggie fixated on all things otherworldly -and spending time with Logan, the boy she met at camp last year. When creepy things start happening, Maggie insists on investigating. But Nora has found an interest of her own -the strange effects of Luna's homemade moon water. It removes zits, adds lustrous shine to hair, and even seems to straighten teeth! No braces? No problem! It isn't long before the girls are caught up in another supernatural adventure. But when their friends find themselves in danger, can Maggie and Nora put their differences aside to save them? Is it possible to just have one normal summer, please?

Mortified / Jackson, Kristy

"When someone secretly signs up Belinda Houle, the school's shyest kid, to audition for a play, Belinda turns to her best friend, Sally, for help. Sally isn't like the other kids. Unlike Belinda, she isn't embarrassed by anything. Also, Sally thinks she's a witch. Belinda doesn't believe in magic, but if Sally has a spell for confidence -- well, it couldn't hurt to try it. Could it? What follows the spell is a series of tragedies so tragic they would have been funny -- if only they weren't happening to Belinda! First, Belinda's ex-best friend tricks her into eating dog food. Next, she's forced to wear a wig when her hair-straightening session goes very wrong. And then, Belinda slips on a plate of paint, wrecking a mural, and ends up with globs of green, brown and yellow paint all over her head! Things get worse and worse, until Belinda must face the facts: One piece of bad luck can be explained away, but this? This is a straight-up curse! Can she break the curse before the dreamy Ricky Daniels takes more notice of her crooked wig? More importantly, how can Belinda battle the very thing she hoped the spell would take away: her embarrassment?"--
