  A Texas armadillo tries to fit in on the bayou—and learns a few Cajun words—in the beloved series that provides “plenty of fun” (Publishers Weekly). Texas native Andrew Armadillo is unfamiliar with Cajun phrases, making him an outsider on the bayou. Plus, his loud voice and large size frighten the local creatures! However, when one of Clovis Crawfish’s friends becomes stuck in a tall thorn bush, Andrew’s height just might come in handy . . . Illustrator Scott R. Blazek joins Mary Alice Fontenot yet again to present this fun story about friendship and Cajun culture. With the inclusion of sheet music for the Cajun song “Fais Pas des Bêtises,” Cajun phrases, and definitions and pronunciations of Cajun words, this book is a delight for anyone who’s ever felt like the new kid in town.  Praise for the series   “In Louisiana’s bayou country, Clovis Crawfish is a favorite folk hero of children who have met him in Fontenot’s lively tales. . . . The stories have suspense, lessons in nature lore, French words, and plenty of fun.” —Publishers Weekly   “Stories that are simply fun to read.” —Houston Post

  From the author of Guardians of Ga’Hoole, “nature, magic, and legend combine to create a world like no other” in a tale of polar cubs on a rescue mission (Kirkus Reviews). 
   
  For generations, the noble polar bears have ruled the Northern Kingdoms. But now, their society is on the brink of collapse. A group of power-hungry bears has seized control, and darkness is creeping across the snow. Cubs First and Second don’t know any of this. Although they’re twins, they couldn’t be more different. First loves imagining stories, while his daring sister, Second, wants to live them. When their mother is taken prisoner, the cubs’ world falls apart. They know they have to rescue her, but how can two cubs who’ve barely learned to hunt survive a treacherous journey across the ice? Their only chance is to learn to trust each other and—even more important—trust themselves. But survival is only the beginning. And soon, these two unlikely heroes find themselves at the heart of a battle unlike anything Ga’hoole has ever seen. 
   
  “Readers will lose themselves in the life-and-death adventure of the cubs and succumb to human feelings of fear, loss, and hope . . .” —Booklist 
   
  “A series opener that promises to deliver action and adventure.” —School Library Journal
