When Cam and Eric go on a field trip to the museum with their fifth grade class, Cam-with her photographic memory-makes an interesting discovery: dinosaur bones are missing from one of the exhibits. When no one believes them, they decide to catch the thieves themselves. As they stake out the library, a mysterious milk truck stops by. Cam knows something is wrong. The logo on the truck does not match the logo on the milk carton they drank from at lunch. The game is afoot!

Adler is a former New York City math teacher. In addition to writing the Cam Jansen series, he has authored more than 100 books for children, including science and math text books, as well as biographies of world-famous historical figures.Show book

The first in the hilarious series from Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning author Philip Ardagh and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler. Mr and Mrs Grunt, who are neither clean nor clever, live with their adopted in fact, abducted son, Sunny, in a donkey-drawn caravan somewhere or other at some time that is a bit like now but not exactly now. Sunny is an odd-looking boy, what with his left ear being higher than his right ear and that kind of sticky-up hair which NEVER goes flat, even if you massage glue into it and then jump on it. Together the unusual family find themselves in frankly improbable but very funny adventures involving bendy railings, double-barrelled shotguns, full-fat yoghurt and, always, a beard of bees.Show book

This is poetry that expresses children's emotions, anxiety and mental trauma. The inner voice speaks and replies, seeking answers, often finding no response. When you read these poems, I want you to know the children who wrote these poems were of different races, cultures, identities and between the ages of 11-13 years old. What started out as a class assignment, turned into a journey I will never forget. This poetry book is for the children who ever wondered why and to know that they are not alone, the adult who needs to heal that inner child inside of them or the educator or parent who wants to understand today's child.Show book
