The Daredevil’s Guide to Outer Space
by Anna Brett (Author) and Mike Jacobsen (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Blast off!

Having survived some of the scariest destinations on Earth, Eddie and Junko are off on another epic adventure–this time to outer space.

Join our intergalactic explorers as they travel across our Solar System and beyond. Find out what it’s like to live on the Moon, visit the International Space Station and fly through Saturn’s rings, before you head deeper into space to escape black holes and watch stars explode.

Snippet:
BLASTOFF! When accelerating so quickly, it’s as if gravity increases up to three times. We feel this increased weight, known as G-force, pushing us into our seats.

JUNKO: This is the most dangerous part of the trip!

EDDIE: What did you say, Junko? The noise from this blastoff is double the maximum threshold for human ears. Good thing we’re wearing our earplugs.

What Are You Doing, Benny?
by Cary Fagan (Author) and Kady MacDonald Denton (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Benny’s little brother is really good at a lot of things — making potions and paper airplanes, building forts, putting on puppet shows, even petting the neighbor’s cat (he has a special way of scratching her just behind the ears). But whenever he tries to join in Benny’s activities, all Benny ever says is “No.” Maybe his little brother can watch him do cool stuff, if he’s lucky. What is a little fox to do, except give Benny a taste of his own medicine? This picture book is illustrated with panels of many sizes like a comic.

Snippet: Benny!

Hey, Benny!

What are you doing, Benny? Making a paper airplane?

I’m a genius at making paper airplanes. I have a special way of bending the wings up at the tips.

It makes them soar and swoop and then land perfectly.

So can I help, Benny?

No, said Benny.
