Join Chet the dog, "the most lovable narrator in all of fiction" (Boston Globe), and his human partner Bernie as they scramble to solve a case exposing the dark side of internet fame.

Chet the dog is less than enthusiastic about the Little Detective Agency's next case. Chet and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, have been hired to find a missing person--only the missing person is a cat. Miss Kitty, an internet sensation, has disappeared, and Chet and Bernie have been hired to find her before her many followers realize something is wrong.

Miss Kitty belongs to Bitty, a sweet teenage girl who lives with her mom. Bitty and her mother are struggling financially, but the arrival of Miss Kitty and the chance discovery of her social media appeal has changed everything. Bitty now has sponsors, a high-powered agent, and all the tools needed to thrive online, and real money is flowing in. At least, it was. With Miss Kitty gone, the family's income is on the line.

The case presents a slew of challenges for Chet and Bernie. For one thing, a potential witness is a pig named Senor Piggy who may be in possession of an important piece of evidence. For another, it seems like a possible perp has been killed twice--and there's evidence implicating Bernie in the crime.

He promised to help reclaim her memories.

Until she remembered another man.

NUNES OF SAVANNAHA Saga of Survival, from Lisbon to Savannah

One family. Three generations.

In 1733, the ship William and Sara arrives at the edge of a raw and fever-stricken Georgia colony. Among the weary passengers is Dr. Samuel Nunes, a man fleeing the terrors of the Portuguese Inquisition with nothing but his medical skill and a hidden heritage. When General James Oglethorpe bars the ship from the plague-ravaged docks of Savannah, it is Nunes who steps forward, trading his expertise for a sanctuary where his people can finally breathe.

But survival in the New World requires more than medicine. As the colony grows, the family must navigate the treacherous currents of the American frontier. From Moses Nunes, the legendary "Language Master" who brokers peace between the British Crown and the Creek Nation, to the brave men and women who carved a life out of the untamed Ogeechee, Altamaha, and Satilla rivers, the Nunes lineage becomes a bridge between two worlds.

From best selling author Cali Melle comes a new hockey romance filled with scorching tension, witty banter and a deal for the season between a hockey player with a reputation and a romance author who needs the story of a lifetime.

She writes love stories for a living. He doesn't believe in love.

When a terrible case of writer's block has her career on the line, bestselling romance author Jade Wilson needs inspiration-and fast. If she can't find a new muse soon, the publishing deal she's about to secure is off the table. With her deadline approaching, Jade thinks she's out of options, until she runs into him.

The only thing Matteo "Matty" Ford commits to is being the best player on the ice. He's the type of guy to visit your bedroom, but never your family. He dates, but not for love, and with his team on a losing streak, he knows he can't afford any distractions.

Until his teammates suggest that maybe he's the reason behind their dry spell. Since he's sworn off romance, he hasn't scored a single goal.

And now, he'll do anything to turn that around.

Enter The Plot Pact. Matty offers to help Jade with research for her new book while she becomes his carefully controlled distraction. It's temporary, strategic, and it comes with one ironclad rule: no falling in love.

But as the season unfolds, the lines between research and reality blur. She's writing the best story of her career, his team is on fire, and the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore.

What began as a calculated decision becomes dangerously real. Now they have to decide: was it all just for the plot or are they ready to risk everything for a chance at something real?

Follow the line that runs through this picture book and turns itself into all kinds of things: the waves above an octopus, the veins in a leaf, the wrappings curling around a mummy, and the trapping threads of a spiderweb. Candace Whitman's catchy rhyming text is brought to life by a host of creepy critters from first-time illustrator Steve Wilson.

Some say a journey starts when you leave your front door. Some say it starts far away from home, when you neither smell its scent, nor see it in your dreams no more.

In early twentieth century Japan, women have few rights. Yet one precocious poet--a brooding daughter, locked in her room at night by protective parents--runs away from home to live a life of her choosing.

She falls in love with a fellow poet and follows him across Siberia to Paris, where they witness the last days of the Belle Epoque. She perseveres through poverty, back-to-back pregnancies, infidelity, earthquake and fire, to become a name every Japanese schoolchild knows today as a pioneering feminist poet and the first person to translate the classical Tale of Genji into modern Japanese. In her single-minded dedication to her art, she inflicts wounds on a daughter that echo from her own childhood. She sets out to make amends, knowing it may be too late.

Based on the life of poet Yosano Akiko (1878-1942) and filled with original translations of her poetry, Girl in a Box will ignite the discussion about the female artist's challenge to create while juggling family, career, and personal freedom. Historical fiction at its best.

One fake relationship, a delicious dash of chemistry, and a recipe that's bound to get messy.

Is African American music relegated to Negro spirituals and field songs, or is there more?

And how well can Black gospel, hip-hop, and other genres actually represent our

present-day struggle for racial justice and equity?

In this in-depth look at America and its music, Dr. John Ware has the reader reflect

on our values as citizens and our expression through music. Ware describes and dissects

the nation's American, Christian, and Black nationalism and the music that defines each.

Ware provides readers with a fresh, concise, timely idea for a unified and diverse

American people through a new song.

This is no one's dusty history essay. The Mississippi native uses poetry, biblical

references, and more to bring home some controversial ideas about what it means to be

American for all Americans.

Written with the experiences of a musician, performer, and teacher, Ware opens our

eyes to some new truths and provides a stepping-off point for discussion and exploration

from all walks of life.

Ware hopes to promote a spirit of nationalism in our country while sharing his

perspective on racial justice and equity in the field of choral music.

According to Ware, "Art and music impact the emotion, psyche, and yes, the very

soul of humans. It is what unifies us."

He recognizes that choral directors and musicians are also our community's culture

bearers and deserve a place at the table.
