Books of the Month March 2025

Our hero Luca is back for the second leg of the Race to Imagination Island! This time, our plucky Racers create team mascots to help them with the three challenges they must overcome: crossing a canyon full of tricks and traps, passing through a forest of evil icy-blue fairies, and quite literally pulling the plug out of the ocean … Who will pass? Who will fail? And who will be sent home forever?
THE RACE IS ON!

Cat and Dumpling are best friends, but they’re very different. Cat is an impulsive dreamer who loves to knit, and Dumpling is a cautious planner who loves gardening. In these chapter books for early readers, the pair’s far-fetched schemes and conflicting ideas wreak warm-hearted slapstick havoc, but always with a happy ending and a reassertion that despite their differences Cat and Dumpling will always be the very best of friends.
