Clouds for Dinner
Lynne Rae Perkins's first book, Home Lovely, was hailed by Kirkus as [a] book to read, share, and treasure. Now the gifted author-artist tells the story of Janet, who lives in a house on top of a big hill. Her parents think it's like living in the clouds. But Janet thinks living in a more sensible house like Aunt Peppy and Uncle Tim's might be better--a house where beds are always made and dishes always washed. Janet spends the weekend with Aunt Peppy and Uncle Tim, but one morning she sees something magical and needs to share it with the people who understand magic best--her parents. Her story will have young readers on the lookout for the extraordinary in their everyday world, too.

All Alone in the Universe
"Before last summer Maureen and I were best friends....At least I think we were. I don't know what happened exactly. As some people who get hit by trucks sometimes say,'I didn't see anything coming.'" When her best friend since the third grade starts acting as though Debbie doesn't exist, Debbie finds out the hard way that life can be a lonesome place. But in the end the heroine of this wryly funny coming-of-age story--a girl who lives in a house covered with stuff that is supposed to look like bricks but is just a fake brick pattern--discovers that even the hourly tragedies of junior high school can have silver linings, just as a house covered with Insul-Brick can protect a real home. This first novel shines--fun, engrossing, bittersweet, and wonderfully unpredictable.
