Lost and Found by OSCAR WINNER Shaun Tan (Arthur A. Levine Books, April 2011).
Queen of the Falls by Chris Van Allsburg (Houghton Mifflin, April 2011). Nonfiction picture book about a lady who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Um, how awesome is that?
Across the Great Barrier (Frontier Magic #2) by Patricia C. Wrede (Scholastic Press, August 2011). I read the first book in this series (Thirteenth Child) and it was not my favorite, but I'm still intrigued by the idea of Wild West magical fantasy, so I think I will give this one a shot.
Behind the Gates (Tomorrow Girls #1) by Eva Gray (Scholastic, May 2011).
Brother/Sister by Sean Olin (Razorbill, June 2011). The tagline is "Just give them a chance to explain", which is very intriguing.

The Empire of Gut and Bone by MT Anderson (Scholastic Press, June 2011).

And for my Emerging Leaders work, I purchased What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy by James Paul Gee.
