Loamhedge
Brian Jacques  
Penguin Putnam   Hardcover, 432pp  

The sixteenth full-length Redwall novel sheds light on the Abbey's ancient origins in a thrilling adventure. Loamhedge, the deserted Abbey, has been forgotten for countless seasons. What secrets do its ruins hold? When it becomes clear that wheelchair-bound Martha might be cured by a formula buried there, two old warriors are inspired by the spirit of Martin the Warrior himself to go on a quest for the ancient Abbey-and three young rebels are determined to go with them. Meanwhile, the giant badger Lonna Bowstripe thirsts for ven-geance as he relentlessly pursues Raga Bol and his murdering crew of Searats . . . who are on their way to attack Redwall itself! A rare glimpse into Redwall's history makes this volume a memorable addition to Jacques's epic. Fans will not be disappointed, and new readers will be eager to jump on board. Click To Order  

Diary of a Worm
Doreen Cronin  
Harper Collins   Hardcover,40pp  

This is the diary . . . of a worm. Surprisingly, a worm not that different from you or me: He lives with his parents, plays with his friends, and even goes to school. But unlike you or me, he never has to take a bath, he gets to eat his homework, and because he doesn't have legs, he just can't do the hokey pokey -- no matter how hard he tries. Oh, and his head looks a lot like his rear end. Doreen Cronin, the New York Times best-selling author of Click, Clack, Moo and Giggle, Giggle, Quack, teams up with illustrator Harry Bliss for this hysterical journal about the daily doings and the hidden world of a lovable underground dweller.
