(4) 4-6 Psi Chronicles series. While Gevri and his father prepare to destroy telekinetic-powered Taemon--the True Son of Deliverance--and his people, both sides are blind to a third force that waits and watches for an opportunity to destroy them all. There's some predictability in this final book of the dystopian trilogy, but the satisfying ending should please series fans.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Pizzoli. On his first day of "spindergarten," spider Itzy wants everyone to recognize how grown-up he is; step one is losing the babyish nickname "Itzy Bitzy." Hoping to prove himself at school, Itzy finds himself in challenging situations readers will recognize from nursery rhymes--but his notorious climb up the waterspout brings things to a climax. Bright cartoon illustrations expand the text with witty details and visual drama.

(4) 4-6 Psi Chronicles series. Taemon has taken psi (telekinesis) away from the people of Deliverance, leaving them in chaos. When he hears a rumor that his father has been kidnapped, he runs away to rescue him and finds a greater threat. Characters' actions and emotions swing erratically and the plot feels rushed, but fans of the first book, Freakling, will enjoy seeing what Taemon does next.

(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Taemon's psi (mental ability to move objects) is strong enough to save him when his brother tries to kill him--the first time. Eventually exiled, Taemon must make his way back to overthrow his brother and rightfully assume the position of True Son. This book's fast pace, intriguing world-building, clever fantasy concept, and likable young hero will have readers hoping for further installments.
