July 11 2026 title: Fairy Door Diaries: Eliza and the Flower Fairiesby Megan McDonald To some, the low door in Eliza’s bedroom might look like an ordinary entrance to a crawl space under the stairs. But to a believer like Eliza of the Elves, it’s the door to the Land of UnderStair, a secret hideout all her own. In that crawl space, festooned with twinkling lights, Eliza keeps her favorite book, her collections of precious items, her stuffed animals, and her new diary. And in that crawl space is another door, a teeny-tiny one that can transport Eliza to a world of tangerine sun and lemon-pudding sky, a place where flower fairies perch on every bloom and a new flower springs up whenever you pick one. But things go awry after Eliza tries to pick a strange flower and her friend Poppy must rescue her before the Demon Wind steals the flower fairies’ scents. Tween Book Club: For tweens in grades 4-5! Para preadolescentes de 4º a 5º grado.

But this trip is different! Brooke’s mom just married Terrence, who happens to be the father of Brooke’s best friend, Jayla, which means Brooke and Jayla are BFFs turned sisters! While camping at North Cascades National Park, Brooke has her heart set on seeing a moose — the #1 animal she’s been longing to see. But when Brooke learns that Jayla, a nomad newbie, spots a moose on her first-ever camping trip, Brooke will do whatever it takes to track down that moose and spot it herself!”– Provided by publisher.
