The Avid Young Readers Bundle
Rat Rule 79 + The Casket of Time + The Wild Book
Journey through the Land of Impossibility with Rivka Galchen (an NPR Best Book of 2019!), time-travel through an Icelandic eco-dystopia, and venture through a Mexican story in which books literally come alive with these middle-grade novels for avid readers of all ages.
The Casket of Time: “[A] beautiful and haunting Snow White–inspired tale…. Magnason, a celebrated writer and the second runner-up in Iceland’s 2016 presidential election, has woven a literary fantasy with environmentalist themes that will find fans among thoughtful young readers.”
—Eleanor Roth, Booklist
Rat Rule 79: ”[A]stonishing, hilarious, mind-and-heart-expanding... As I read, I thought, ‘I can't wait to share this with my daughter, son, mother, brother, sister, best friend…’ a number set that eventually swelled to include: everyone.”
—Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia
The Wild Book: ”I'm absolutely envious of the young readers who are about to discover the magic of Juan Villoro's The Wild Book."
—David Gonzalez, Skylight Books (Los Angeles, CA)
