Praise for Hamsters Holding Hands
“This charming counting book features spunky, pear-shaped hamsters…engaging in simple yet unex-
pected fun…Debut talent Reich brings subtle,off-kilter humor—with props like balloons,pinwheels,
and snorkel gear—and an understated style to her spreads, with the hamsters' citrus hues playfully
smudged outside their outlines. It's hard not to smile at images of the happy hamsters jumping rope
or working on their tans.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Counting books are a dime a dozen,but few attain the outright adorableness of Montreal artist Kass
Reich's first board book. Rendered in earth tones with hints of hot pink, Reich's splay-toed rodents
frolic in the sun, eat some rice, and, yes, hold hands. The text is simple and fun, a combination that
will no doubt strike a chord with wee ones.”—Quill and Quire

Once Upon a Balloon
Bree Galbraith
Illustrated by Isabelle Malenfant
Theo tried to hold on,he really did. He stared at his hand and told it to stay closed,but it didn’t want to listen.
He clenched his fist so tight, his knuckles turned white, but his fingers had other plans. Theo watched the
string slip from his hand. The balloon drifted upward, slowly at first, and then in a hurry.
Zeke is brokenhearted when he accidentally lets go of the string of his party balloon. As he
watches it float out of sight, Zeke wonders where his balloon might have gone. Luckily, his older
brother Theo knows everything about everything.Theo explains that it is a little-known fact that all
lost balloons end up in Chicago, the Windy City.Then he tells Zeke about Frank, who is responsible
for collecting all the balloons in the world. Zeke is so touched by Frank's story that he decides to
send him a message of hope the only way he knows how.
A unique story filled with the magic and whimsy of childhood imagination, Once Upon a Balloon
will delight young readers and reawaken the child in all of us.
Bree Galbraith is a graduate of the Emily Carr University of Art + Design. She uses narrative in
much of her work and was thrilled when a class project became her first published children’s book.
Bree is surrounded daily by her amazing family, which includes her two children/muses, her husband
and the family dog. She draws inspiration from the little things in life that bring people closer together.
Bree works as a graphic designer in Vancouver, British Columbia.
For Isabelle Malenfant, illustration is like cooking and is always evolving, so she loves to try and
mix new mediums. Her miracle recipe: a pinch of watercolor, a dash of pencil, a big spoon of pastel
and a drop of numeric colors. Isabelle has illustrated more than a dozen children’s books, including
Maggie’s Chopsticks (Kids Can), which was nominated for the Christie Harris Illustrated Children’s
Literature Prize. Isabelle lives and works in Montreal, Quebec, with her family—a red bear, a sweet
dreamer and a little tiger. According to her girls, she has the best job in the universe.

Miranda has one messy desk. It’s full of books, pencils, science projects and…other stuff. Too
much stuff,says her teacher,Ms. Basil. On a family visit to her Uncle Aldo’s one night,Miranda
wonders if some of his magician’s tools might offer a solution to her messy-desk problem. Sneaking
off to the magic room,Miranda finds Uncle Aldo’s impressive collection of top hats. Miranda knows
that magic top hats can hold lots of things—why not the mess from her desk? At first, the hat
seems to do the trick, but soon things start to go horribly wrong. As Uncle Aldo says, you have to
be careful with magic.

can be very bossy, is having trouble sharing with Jacob. When Charlotte accidentally loses one
of Jacob’s best finds, a piece of driftwood that looks just like a pirate’s cutlass, it’s the final straw.
Feeling horrible for upsetting her brother, Charlotte is determined to set things right.

so many potential suspects—Steve Morrow and his gang,the tattooed guy who sits at the bus stop,
the owners of the secondhand bike store. There’s also Emily Grimshaw, Levi’s childhood nemesis,
who keeps popping up and showing a peculiar interest in the thefts. Does she really want to help
or is she involved somehow? And will Levi and Riley ever see their beloved bikes again?

Sylvia Taekema
Jake is through with being runner-up.
When it comes to cross-country running,Jake does everything right. He eats all the right foods,
trains like crazy and reads articles about running in his spare time. There’s nothing easy
about running, but the hardest part for Jake is that, at the end of the day, Spencer Solomon always
wins first place. Determined to take the lead for once, Jake continues to push himself even more.
His rigorous training schedule leaves no time for friends, family, pizza or joking around. When Jake
is invited to join the Diamond Running Club, he thinks he’s found an opportunity to train harder.
Instead, with the help of his coach, Jake begins to rediscover what he used to love about running
in the first place.
Way back when she was in grade school, Sylvia Taekema was asked to write about what she
would like to do when she grew up. She answered that she didn’t know exactly, but that it would
probably have something to do with children. She was right. In addition to all the fun she and her
husband have with their own children, Sylvia enjoys working as a supply teacher and as a volunteer
in programs for children at school, church and in the community. She loves to read, bake cookies
and go on camping adventures with her family. She lives in Chatham, Ontario.

Following up the success of their first two books about the Great Bear Rainforest, The Salmon
Bears and The Sea Wolves, Ian McAllister and Nicholas Read take readers on an expedition into
the wondrous and mysterious underwater world of the Great Bear Sea. This amazing part of the
northeast Pacific Ocean is home to some of the planet’s mightiest and most beloved residents:
whales, sea lions, dolphins, orcas, sea otters and wild salmon. Filled with spectacular images of this
largely unknown part of the world, the book also explores the uncertain future of the Great Bear
Sea in this age of climate change, overfishing, pipelines and oil tankers. Can a rainforest full of rare
spirit bears,fishing wolves and great grizzlies survive without a Great Bear Sea to feed and nourish it?
Ian McAllister,a founding director of the wildlife conservation group Pacific Wild,is an award-winning
photographer and filmmaker. He has spent more than twenty years working to preserve Canada’s
temperate rainforest. Ian lives with his family on an island in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest.

themes. He currently teaches journalism at Langara College in Vancouver, British Columbia, where
he lives with two rescued cats.

Reaching More Readers
Announcing the Fall 2013 debut of
Where did the idea for the
Limelights series come from?
I loved books about ballet and music
when I was a girl, and I noticed that there
weren’t many recent books about kids
involved in performing arts, even though
there has been an explosion of interest in
performing. Kids who want to make their
performing dreams a reality will love the
Limelights series.
How many books will there
be in the series?
I have signed enough titles to take us
through 2015, and I expect to sign more
as time goes on. A lot of writers have
experience in the performing arts—and
they want to write about it!
How did you choose which
performing arts to feature first?
I put out a call for submissions and was
pleasantly surprised by the positive
response. For the first season, I wanted
there to be variety (music, dance, theater)
and I wanted the subject matter to appeal
to both male and female readers.
Did you do any performing
arts as a kid?
Yes, I played the violin and piano, and I
danced. My son is a professional musician
and my daughter studied acting and dance
for many years.

There’s more to ballet than pink pointe shoes and tutus.
When Cassie comes to Vancouver from Australia for an intensive summer program at a pres-
tigious ballet school, she finds it hard to fit in. A clique of girls who have been at the school
a long time don’t want the newcomers to get any attention. At first Cassie tries to go along to
get along, but when she realizes that some of the visiting summer students are being bullied and
threatened, and that she herself is being sabotaged, she finally speaks out—and finds out how far
some girls will go to succeed.

When you step into the spotlight, you have to expect some heat.
Neil plays guitar with his family’s band, the Family McClintock, even though he can’t stand the
Celtic music they play, he doesn’t dance, he hates the outfits, and every single performance
reminds him that he isn’t as talented as the rest of the family.
When his buddy Bert convinces him to form a rock band and enter a local talent show, Neil’s
playing improves and everyone notices, including a girl who shares his musical interests. He starts
to think that all those years of practice might come in handy after all. But it all comes to a head
when Neil has to choose between an important gig with the family band and the talent show. He’s
only sure of one thing: whatever he decides to do, he’s going to be letting someone down.
Tom Ryan was born and raised in Inverness on Cape Breton Island. Like most transplanted
Cape Bretoners, he spends a lot of time wishing he was back on the right side of the causeway.
He currently lives in Ottawa, Ontario, with his partner and dog. He can be found online at

Who I’m Not
Ted Staunton
Danny has survived everything life has thrown at him: being abandoned at birth, multiple abusive
foster homes, life as a con man in training. But when his latest “protector” dies suddenly, Danny
has to think fast or he’ll be back in foster care again. He decides to assume the identity of a boy who
disappeared three years before. If nothing else, he figures it will buy him a little time. Much to his
astonishment, his new “family” accepts him as their own—despite the fact that he looks nothing like
their missing relative. But one old cop has his suspicions about Danny—and he’s not about to declare
the case closed. Inspired by a true story, Who I’m Not is a powerful portrait of a boy whose identity
is as fluid as a river and as changeable as a chameleon’s skin.

ship, she soon witnesses Mick’s darker side, and his temper frightens her. Before long, she becomes
the target of his rage, but she makes endless excuses for him. Isolated and often in pain, Iris struggles
to continue going to school, where she is preparing for her role as Ophelia. When her family and
friends begin to realize that something is terribly wrong, Iris defends her man, but she also takes the
first tentative steps toward self-preservation.

expresses an interest in her.

and three children. Her Newfoundland roots inspire much of her writing. For more information,

Summary
After being suspended from the force on suspicion of corruption, Detective Rick “The Spider”
Montoya knows his career as a police officer is over. It doesn’t matter that he was framed. Even if
Rick can prove it was a setup, the mark is still on his name, like a stain. Not only that, but Rick’s
drinking has driven away Angela, his wife and best friend. Their marriage is in shambles.
Rick returns home from five months away working on a farm. He discovers someone living in
his basement apartment. but before he can find out who it is, the house goes up in flames. Two
people die in the fire. One is Rick’s landlord, Cheryl. The identity of the other victim isn’t so
clear. At first many people believe it’s Rick who has died. After all, it was his suite.
The night of the fire, Rick goes over to the house to check things out. He’s attacked and
knocked unconscious. When he comes to, he’s really interested in figuring out who set the fire
and killed two people. He’s pretty sure he was supposed to be one of them.
As Cheryl’s daughter, Susanna, grieves the loss of her mother, the number of suspects mounts.
A young electrician; an insurance guy; Rick’s own wife (an ex-cop turned insurance investigator);
one of his colleagues; even Rick himself.Independent of the investigating officers, Rick weaves a thoughtful web of possibilities as he
sorts through different people’s connections to the people who died in the fire. The conclusion?
Susanna arranged to have her mother killed so she could collect on her sizable insurance policy.
Rick is offered a job as an insurance investigator, and he and Angela take one more crack at
making their marriage work.

Skate Freak by Lesley Choyce
Dorf has always lived by his personal motto: If it’s
worth doing, do it. If it’s not worth doing, do it anyway.
But now he’s in a new city, and the terrain has changed.
He’s no longer free to skateboard where he wishes,
school is hard, and he has the reputation as a freak.
With daring stunts he gains the grudging respect of
local troublemakers, but he needs to tap into a more
elusive kind of courage to effect real change in his life.

Neil has broken up with Jade but can’t end the relationship.
Neil decides that his long-term relationship with Jade is finally over. After ending it, he realizes
the hardest part will be saying goodbye to her little brother, Owen, who suffers from severe
migraines. Neil’s friends suspect that Jade’s constant calls for help are just too convenient to be
real. What are the chances Owen would relapse every time Neil is out with someone new? Neil
admits they’re not very good—but he’s seen the boy. A four-year-old can’t fake an illness like that.
Turns out both Neil and his friends are right.

“[There is a] consistent quality of writing in these Orca
Soundings books…and their messages withstand their
own edgy currency. For readers in a ruthlessly visual
age, this is no mean accomplishment.” —Resource Links
“When students tell me they hate reading and all the
books are boring, I take them to my Orca shelf. Once
they try one Orca Soundings title, they want to read
them all!” —Tori Jensen, John Glenn Middle School MN
“It is with enthusiasm I write to tell you, ‘Thank you
for nailing it!’ Many of my students have never com-
pleted a book in their lives. Now they are reading one
of these books in less than 24 hours. They have been
inspired to read! Thank you again.”
—Lorraine Wiener, Inglewood High School, CA
