The shape of lost things / Everett, Sarah

"Skye Nickson's world changed forever when her dad went on the run with her brother, Finn. It's been four years without Finn's jokes, four years without her father's old soul music, and four years of Skye filling in as Rent-a-Finn on his MIA birthdays for their mom. Finn's birthday is always difficult, but at least Skye has her best friends, Reece and Jax, to lean on, even if Reece has started acting too cool for them. But this year is different because after Finn's birthday, they get a call that he's finally been found. Tall, quiet, and secretive, this Finn is nothing like the brother she grew up with. He keeps taking late-night phone calls and losing his new expensive gifts, and he doesn't seem to remember any of their inside jokes or secrets. As Skye tries to make sense of it all through the lens of her old Polaroid camera, she starts to wonder: Could this Finn be someone else entirely? And if everyone else has changed, does it mean that Skye has to change too?"--

Tales from the forest / Burgess, Mark

"A delightful new collection of Winnie-the-Pooh stories, told in the style of A. A. Milne. Seven brand-new tales take readers back to much loved settings in the Hundred Acre Wood, like Eeyore's Gloomy Place and the Poohsticks Bridge, as well as new spots, like the British Museum and the Tower of London. Author Jane Riordan's writing is filled with the gentle humor, friendship and life lessons that echo the originals. She has a true gift for conveying the essence of Milne's characters and the Hundred Acre Wood, while showing her real affection for Winnie-the-Pooh. Mark Burgess once again takes inspiration from Shepard's original, iconic decorations with his gorgeous color illustrations. These sequel stories will be enjoyed by both new and long-standing Winnie-the-Pooh fans of all ages."--
