      CELEBRATED NEWBERY MEDALIST CYNTHIA VOIGT INTRODUCES 'LITTLE BIRD', A TINY CROW WITH A BIG IMAGINATION AND AN EVEN BIGGER HEART, IN THIS TIMELESS STORY JUST RIGHT FOR THE YOUNG MIDDLE SCHOOL AUDIENCE. When a wild fisher cat attacks their nest, Little Bird and her flock are devastated. Not only does the fisher cat harm the fledglings, but it also makes off with the shiny pendant that the superstitious crows rely on for good luck. Little Bird believes that she can find the lucky pendant and return it to the nest before disaster strikes. The other crows aren't so sure - after all, Little Bird is so little and undependable and meek. But with the help of some new friends - including a very funny goat - Little Bird journeys through forests and over lakes and fields, challenging her wits and survival skills along the way. The crow who returns home is wiser, braver, kinder, and ready - at last - to spread her wings. Newbery Medalist Cynthia Voigt's gentle humor, sense of fun and adventure, and delightful main character sing in this timely short novel about bravery and friendship. A pause-resisting book for families and classrooms, and a terrific book for fans of 'Nuts to You', by Lynne Rae Perkins, and Avi's Poppy books.

      They're brother and sister, but Angus is bigger. He is a good, brave, and clever dog—and he likes that. Sadie isn't as quick to learn—or to obey. Angus thinks she's scared of everything, but Sadie knows that's not true. Newbery Medalist Cynthia Voigt's story of border collie puppies growing up on a farm in Maine is for animal lovers of all ages, and for anyone who's ever had—or ever wondered what it would be like to have—a brother or sister just like themselves, but very, very different.
