Magician Next Door

Chivers Khoo, Rachel

Ten-year-old Callie is desperately homesick. She misses everything about living in London-the apartment building where everyone has known her since she was a baby, her best friend, all the places that remind her of her mother, who died three years ago. She doesn't care to get to know Northern Ireland, no matter how friendly her next-door neighbor Sam is. Then a magical house crash-lands upside down in Callie's backyard, and its magician, Winnifred, turns to Callie for help. The Wanderdust that powers the house and keeps it (and Winnifred) healthy has flown away, leaving Winnifred at the mercy of malicious fairies and dangerous giants. She can't leave her house, so it's up to an eager Sam and a reluctant Callie to find the missing Wanderdust and bring it home again. And maybe, along the way, figure out what home means to Callie.

The girl's like spaghetti : why, you can't manage without apostrophes!

Truss, Lynne.

Just as the use of commas was hilariously demystified in Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference!, now Lynne Truss and Bonnie Timmons put their talents together to do the same for apostrophes. Everyone needs to know where to put an apostrophe to make a word plural or possessive (Are those sticky things your brother's or your brothers?) and leaving one out of a contraction can give someone the completely wrong impression (Were here to help you). Full of silly scenes that show how apostrophes make a difference, too, this is another picture book that will elicit bales of laughter and better punctuation from all who read it.

Figuring out fluency in mathematics teaching and learning, grades K-8 : moving beyond basic facts and memorization

Bay-Williams, Jennifer M.,

What does fluency really mean and why does it matter? -- Fluency fallacies and related truths -- Good (and necessary) beginnings for fluency -- Seven significant strategies for developing fluency -- Automaticity beyond the basic facts -- Fluency practice is not a worksheet -- Beyond accuracy: What we need to assess and the tools to do it -- Engaging families in fluency -- Fluency is the focus: Planning, agreement, and action -- Appendix: Activity list -- Appendix B: Strategy and automaticity reference page. "This book lays out the what, why, and how of fluency so that we can get to a point in our classrooms where there is no more fake fluency, but rather real authentic fluency. It argues that fluency is a matter of equity, identity, agency, and access for all learners. It offers concrete fluency actions that encourage efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy, and offers the "Seven Significant Strategies" to teach students explicitly as they work toward procedural fluency"--

Sutherland, Tui, 1978-,

For every villain, there is a hero ...Turtle isn't one of the heroes he reads about in stories. If he were, he'd use his animus powers to help Pyrrhia -- instead of keeping his abilities a secret, even from his own sister. Now that Darkstalker, the sinister and impossibly old dragon from Pyrrhia's most notorious legends, has returned, Turtle knows his own role is simple: hide. And stay hidden. The more he watches Darkstalker from the shadows, the more Turtle knows that someone needs to stop the powerful dragon. A real hero. But Turtle is running out of time to find one, which means ... he might have to try to save the day himself.
