Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate
Jackson and his
family have fallen on hard times. There's no more money for rent. And
not much for food, either. His parents, his little sister, and their dog
may have to live in their minivan. Again. Crenshaw is a cat. He's
large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into
Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save
this family from losing everything? Beloved author Katherine Applegate
proves in unexpected ways that friends matter, whether real or
imaginary.
Switch by Ingrid Law
Gypsy Beaumont has always been a whirly-twirly free spirit, so as her
thirteenth birthday approaches, she hopes to get a magical ability that
will let her fly, or dance up to the stars. Instead, she wakes up on her
birthday with blurry vision . . . and starts seeing flashes of the
future and past. But when Momma and Poppa announce that her very
un-magical, downright mean Grandma Pat has Alzheimer's and is going to
move in with them, Gypsy's savvy--along with her family's--suddenly
becomes its opposite. Now it's savvy mayhem as Gypsy starts freezing
time, and no one could have predicted what would happen on their trip to
bring Grandma Pat home . . . not even Gypsy.
