May 2006

Each month, Kidsreads.com will be spotlighting some of the books that are newly available in paperback. This is the perfect opportunity to catch up on the titles you may have missed when they originally released in hardcover --- or re-read past favorites.

May's roundup of New in Paperback titles includes THE SEA OF TROLLS, Nancy Farmer's bestselling tale of Vikings and magic; PETER AND THE STARCATCHERS by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, a swashbuckling pirate-adventure prequel to PETER PAN; the first two installments in Wendelin Van Draanen's Shredderman series about a young cyber-superhero; and THE BOYS OF SAN JOAQUIN, an historical fiction novel by D. James Smith that won the 2006 Edgar Award in the category of Best Juvenile Book.
