YA
The disappearance of high school physics nerd Tommy shakes up a small Texas town. Many chapters feature a character telling the sheriff what he or she knows about Tommy, while others are third-person stories; each is prefaced by a philosophical passage from Tommy's notebook. Complex and rich, the story hints at Tommy's fate, but with an open ending that's perfect for sparking discussion.

Illustrated by
Melissa Iwai.
Emma climbs Snuggle Mountain to wake the "two-headed Giant" to make her breakfast. Simple, descriptive language is supported by the brightly colored illustrations, which make clear what the mountain and the giant really are (a bed and two sleeping parents). While sentimental, the cheerful story will nevertheless fit into many morning routines.
