January’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes KENNY & THE DRAGON by Tony DiTerlizzi, a fully illustrated retelling of Kenneth Grahame's classic short story "The Reluctant Dragon," about an epic battle between a sophisticated dragon and a retired knight; SPIRITS IN THE STARS, the sixth addition to Erin Hunter's Seekers series, in which Toklo, Lusa, Kallik and Ujurak meet a tribe of bears with a strange illness; THE FOURTH STALL, Chris Rylander’s tale of a rule-breaking problem-solver and his business manager who provide a unique service from the fourth stall in the East Wing boys bathroom --- they can solve any problem; and SKY BOYS by Deborah Hopkinson and James E. Ransome, a riveting brick-by-brick account of how one of the most amazing accomplishments in American architecture --- the Empire State Building --- came to be.
