The Eyes and the Impossible
by Dave Eggers:

The book that will make you see the world in a whole new way. The story is told by Johannes, a free dog.  His job is to be the Eyes—to see everything that happens within the park and report back to the park’s elders, three ancient Bison. His friends—a seagull, a raccoon, a squirrel, and a pelican—work with him as the Assistant Eyes, observing the humans and other animals who share the park and making sure the Equilibrium is in balance. But Change is coming fast.  A magnificent story about friendship and beauty.

We Are All So Good at Smiling
by Amber McBride:

Whimsy is back in the hospital for treatment of clinical depression. When she meets a boy named Faerry, she recognizes they both have magic in the marrow of their bones. And when Faerry and his family move to the same street, the two start to realize that their lifelines may have twined and untwined many times before. They are both terrified of the forest at the end of Marsh Creek Lane. The Forest whispers to Whimsy. The Forest might hold the answers to the part of Faerry he feels is missing. They discover the Forest holds monsters, fairy tales, and pain that they have both been running from for 11 years.

What to do with a stick

by Jane Yolen:

Jane Yolen’s latest book is about an ordinary object with extraordinary uses. A stick becomes “a sword to tame monsters of dread” and “an oar for a rowboat in puddle or pond,” among other imaginative functions. This book will let a child’s imagination run wild.
