Harriet tells the truth [sound recording] / Elana K. Arnold.

There are some things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She used to lie a lot, but not anymore. Seriously, she only tells the truth now. Even though she hadn't wanted to come to Marble Island in the first place, now she doesn't want to leave. It's the truth. With her mom and new baby brother home from the hospital, it's almost time for Harriet to pack up and head home from Marble Island and all the friends she's made. But Harriet doesn't have time to think about that - not when she discovers that Moneypenny, her Nanu's adorable basset hound, has been poisoned! Harriet suspects the culprit is one of the guests staying at Nanu's bed-and-breakfast, and she and her best friend, Clarence, are once again on the case. But when someone else falls ill, Harriet's going to have to sleuth harder, spy sneakier, and be willing to see that sometimes the truth is more complicated than it seems.

The grimmelings / Rachael King.

Thirteen-year-old Ella knows that words are powerful. So she should have known better than to utter a wish and a curse on the same day, even in jest. When the boy she has cursed goes missing in the same sudden, unexplained way as her father several years earlier, Ella discovers that her family is living in the shadow of a vengeful kelpie, a black horse-like creature. With the help of her beloved pony Magpie, can Ella break the curse of the kelpie and save not just her family but the whole community?

Not quite a ghost / Anne Ursu.

The house seemed to sit apart from the others on Katydid Street, silent and alone, like it didn't fit among them. For Violet Hart -- whose family is about to move into the house on Katydid Street -- very little felt like it fit anymore. Like their old home, suddenly too small since her mother remarried and the new baby arrived. Or Violet's group of friends, which, since they started middle school, isn't enough for Violet's best friend, Paige. Everything seemed to be changing at once. But sometimes, Violet tells herself, change is okay. That is, until Violet sees her new room. The attic bedroom in their new house is shadowy, creaky, and wrapped in old yellow wallpaper covered with a faded tangle of twisting vines and sickly flowers. And then, after moving in, Violet falls ill -- and does not get better. As days turn into weeks without any improvement, her family growing more confused and her friends wondering if she's really sick at all, she finds herself spending more time alone in the room with the yellow wallpaper, the shadows moving in the corners, wrapping themselves around her at night. And soon, Violet starts to suspect that she might not be alone in the room at all.

Jack's Island / Norman Jorgensen.

John Jones, that's my name, though everyone calls me Jack. Or 'that Jones brat', which is a bit unfair. I'm not that bad I just get caught a lot. Living on a small island off the coast of Australia during World War II, Jack and his friend Banjo have the run of the place and a knack for adventure and trouble. From exploding hand grenades and crashing hill trolleys, to sailing in shark-infested waters, there's nothing these boys won't try. But life isn't all fun, and the hardships of war and entrenched prejudices of the time cast a long shadow. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad -- always engrossing.

He just knows that his father is black. But a surprise visit has Sam questioning who he really is. Is he a white kid with a black dad? Or a black kid with white skin? Or half-black and half-white? Not only does Sam want to know these answers for himself, he has to know to complete his annoying 'Who Am I and Where Do I Come From?' assignment in time to perform in the school's annual community concert.

The great Gallipoli escape / Jackie French.

Sixteen-year-old Nipper and his Gallipoli mates Lanky, Spud, Bluey and Wallaby Joe are starving, freezing and ill-equipped. By November 1915 they know that that there is more to winning a war than courage. The Gallipoli campaign has been lost. Nipper has played cricket with the Turks in the opposing dugout, dodged rocket fire and rescued drowning, freezing men when the blizzard snow melted. He is one of the few trusted with the secret kept from even most of the officers: how an entire army will vanish from the Peninsula over three impeccably planned nights. Based on first-hand accounts of those extraordinary last weeks of the Gallipoli campaign, this is the fascinating 'lost story' of how 150,000 men - and their horses and equipment - were secretly moved to waiting ships without a single life lost. An unforgettable story told through the eyes of a boy who lied about his age to defend his country.
