CHILDRENS BOOKS ON RESPONSIBILITY
Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability.
She’s spent years trying to teach David the rules from “a peach is not a funny-looking apple” to “keep your pants on in public” — in order to head off David’s embarrassing behaviors.
But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising, new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the next-door friend she’s always wished for, it’s her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?
11-year-old Alex Petroski loves space and rockets, his mom, his brother, and his dog Carl Sagan—named for his hero, the real-life astronomer. All he wants is to launch his golden iPod into space the way Carl Sagan (the man, not the dog) launched his Golden Record on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977.
From Colorado to New Mexico, Las Vegas to L.A., Alex records a journey on his iPod to show other lifeforms what life on earth, his earth, is like.
The funny, lost, remarkable people he meets along the way can only partially prepare him for the secrets he’ll uncover — from the truth about his long-dead dad to the fact that, for a kid with a troubled mom and a mostly not-around brother, he has way more family than he ever knew.
Larkin’s family welcomes Sophie into their home, caring for her and teaching her games and new words.
They come to love this baby as their own, all the while knowing that eventually Sophie’s mother will return one day to take her from them.
It’s the start of fifth grade for seven kids at Snow Hill School. Only Mr. Terupt, their new and energetic teacher, seems to know how to deal with all of the different kids.

Joel dares his best friend, Tony, to a swimming race in a dangerous river.
Both boys jump in, but when Joel reaches the sandbar, he finds Tony has vanished. How can he face their parents and the terrible truth?
Dewey Marriss is stuck in the middle of a crunch.
He never guessed that the gas pumps would run dry the same week he promised to manage the family’s bicycle-repair business.

Meanwhile, the crunch has stranded Dewey’s parents far up north with an empty fuel tank and no way home.
It’s up to Dewey and his older sister, Lil, to look after their younger siblings and run the bike shop all on their own.
Eleven-year-old Stella misses her (unreliable) mom, but she loves it at great-aunt Louise’s house. Louise lives on Cape Cod, where Stella hopes her mom will someday come and settle down.
The only problem? Angel, the foster kid Louise has taken in.
The two girls live together but there’s no way they’ll ever be friends.
Marvin is really excited to take care of his teacher’s dog while she’s away.
He’ll even earn a bonus if he does a good job! And he gets to be alone in his teacher’s house!
But when Mrs. North’s dog starts to look sick, Marvin isn’t sure he’ll get that bonus.
In fact, Mrs. North may never talk to Marvin again!

What is EllRay going to tell his teacher and the kids in his third-grade class?
