(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Matt Smith. Thirteen-year-old Lenny uses his scientific genius to shrink himself down to microscopic size in a bid to get a girl to like him by literally "chang[ing] her mind about me." Naturally, this backfires spectacularly. With likable characters and a good dose of humor, Schreiber pulls off this over-the-top premise, making the farce seem almost believable.

(4) 4-6 Adapted by Matt Smith. Illustrated by Matt Smith & David Tilton. Also adapted by David Tilton. This bright and colorful graphic novel is an adaptation of the 2008 movie based on Kate DiCamillo's Newbery Award–winning book. Digital images paired with dialogue and description create a well-paced and visually appealing narrative, though fans of the original story may be looking for more than they'll find here.
