  7. Name This Novel • The Familiars

  8. Name This Novel • “ ‘Are you lost?’ I asked. They looked awfully young to be a couple of runaways. • The older one shook his head. The younger one just stared at me. They were obviously brothers, they looked so much alike. Like a couple of bookends, just different sizes.”

  9. Name This Novel • Hide & Seek

  13. Name This Novel • The Clockwork Three

  14. Name This Novel • “ I probably should mention that feeding me is a real process. I can’t chew very well, so I mostly get soft foods like scrambled eggs or oatmeal or applesauce. Since I can’t hold a fork or spoon—someone has to place the food into my mouth, one spoonful at a time.”

  15. Name This Novel • Out of My Mind

  16. Name This Novel • “Once upon a time, Jack wouldn’t have been caught dead in a princess rescue. Yet here he was, in the middle of a cave—a dark and stupid cave—on his way to do just that.

  17. Name This Novel • Half Upon a Time

  18. Name This Novel • “The day after the accident, our class had a substitute. I don’t remember her name. I only remember our classroom being silent. We were given some silly worksheets to keep up busy, but no one could concentrate—not even Luke.”

  20. Name This Novel • “Grandmom was the person who first showed me all the fantastical things about our rhubarb farm—the truly weeping cherry blossom tree, the ruby flowers that cluster in the Learning Garden, the lake that never drowns anyone—so I had no reason to doubt what she said about dragonflies.

  23. Name This Novel • Twenty Gold Falcons

  25. Name This Novel • Belly Up

  33. Name This Novel • Out of My Mind

  34. Name This Novel • “ ‘It’s a beaut,’ he said, taking it from me. ‘This is valuable. Real gold. Fine engraving of a bird on the lid. It actually looks a lot like one of those coins your teacher was talking about.’ He traced a finger around the words engraved on the circle on the back. ‘The bird of time flies near,’ he read.”

  35. Name This Novel • Twenty Gold Falcons

  36. Name This Novel • “I could tell Mr. and Mrs. Pinella were wavering, but Mom looked furious. ‘You can’t take the law into your own hands,’ she said. ‘If someone’s guilty of animal cruelty, there are agencies to deal with that.

  37. Name This Novel • Ghost Dog Secrets

  41. Name This Novel • Because of Mr. Terupt

  44. Name This Novel • “Except the last thing recorded wasn’t a log. It was a message. • ‘HELP • WE NE’ • Help? Help Wene? What was that supposed to mean? I stared at the handwriting.

  45. Name This Novel • Hide & Seek

  46. Name This Novel • “And suddenly a pair of red eyes floated in the darkness directly in front of him. Jack heard the same growl as before, except this time, the growl came from behind teeth of pure white that glowed eerily in the light of the sword, each as big as one of Jack’s fingers.”

  49. Name This Novel • The Familiars

  50. Name This Novel • “ ‘Oh hey, Farmer Girl,’ said Marisa. She was wearing a yellow raincoat with butterflies all over it and walking a little brown Yorkie that was also wearing a yellow raincoat with butterflies all over it. ‘Why aren’t you out herding the cows?’ She and Quentin laughed.”
