Leroy Ninker Saddles Up Leroy Ninker has a hat, a lasso, and boots. What he doesn’t have is a horse—until he meets Maybelline, when it's love at first sight. Can Leroy wrestle fate to the ground and lasso loneliness for good?
Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Raccoon Francine Poulet is the greatest animal control officer in Gizzford County. She is never scared. That is, until the day she meets her match: a screaming raccoon that may or may not be a ghost.
Where Are You Going, Baby Lincoln? Baby Lincoln’s older sister, Eugenia, is very fond of telling Baby what to do. But one day Baby has had enough. Will her impulsive adventure take her away from Eugenia for good?
Eugenia Lincoln and the Unexpected Package Eugenia Lincoln is a practical, cynical person. When an unexpected package containing an accordion arrives at her house, she is determined to be rid of it. But when all her plans fail, might she discover that a bit of unforeseen frivolity can be surprisingly . . . joyous?
Kate DiCamillo is the author of THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, which received the Newbery Medal; BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, which received a Newbery Honor; and THE TIGER RISING, which was named a National Book Award Finalist. She says, "Mercy Watson had been in my head for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to tell her story. One day, my friend Alison was going on and on and on about the many virtues of toast. As I listened to her, I could see Mercy nodding in emphatic agreement. Sometimes you don't truly understand a character until you know what she loves above all else."

Chris Van Dusen is the author-illustrator of DOWN TO THE SEA WITH MR. MAGEE, A CAMPING SPREE WITH MR. MAGEE, and IF I BUILT A CAR. He says, "When I first read Mercy Watson to the Rescue, the characters were very vivid in my mind, and they just came to life when I started painting. This is exactly the type of story I love to illustrate – a wonderfully silly adventure with lots of action." This is his first book with Candlewick Press.
