A classic coming-of-age love story from beloved Newbery Medal winner Beverly Cleary.

Sixteen-year-old Shelley Latham longs for her junior year of high school to be different from the stifling sameness of the years before. When she is sent from Oregon to California to stay with friends of the family for the school year, she gets her wish.

Right away, Shelley’s pretty looks and “Northern” ways endear her to her new classmates, including Hartley, the student body president. Meanwhile, Shelley sets her heart on star basketball player Philip—and when he asks her out, everything seems perfect. Shelley truly is the luckiest girl…but is it Philip or Hartley whom she really loves?

Here’s the set-up:

Babysitting a newborn dragon was not high on Kat’s list of extracurricular activities.

Katarina McCaber’s life revolves around maintaining good grades and avoiding trouble while she attends Lycée. Unfortunately, hatching and caring for a baby dragon wasn’t part of that plan, especially amidst an anti-dragon social order that could spell doom for her little friend.

Hiding a baby dragon isn’t the only thing Kat has to worry about. Her innate talent for finding herself in the wrong place at the wrong time lands her in the midst of a sinister plot unfolding at the heart of her school.

In her quest to uncover the truth, Kat, accompanied by her loyal friend Jonathan, stumbles upon a portal that transports them to an entirely new world. As Kat and Jonathan navigate this foreign realm, they unearth long-buried secrets, face mythical creatures, and encounter a charismatic yet malevolent figure known as Master Dolan.

Kat must summon every ounce of resilience, courage, and her newfound magical abilities to escape the clutches of this powerful enemy.

Will she unravel the mysteries, save her friend, and find a way back to Lycée?
