The Mermaid and the Shoe, by  K. G. Campbell.

Each of King Neptune's 50 mermaid daughters boasts a special talent, except for little Minnow, who seems to be good onlyat asking questions. When she finds a strange object, Minnow follows her questions to a wondrous place and finds answers, including the answer to the most important question of all: Who am I? A gorgeously illustrated story about finding one's purpose.

There Will Be Bears, by Ryan Gebhart.

Tyson is determined to hunt an elk—even if it means sneaking his grandpa out of a nursing home—in a debut novel sparked with dry wit and wilderness adventure. Thirteen-year-old Tyson loves hanging out with his roughneck Grandpa Gene, who's a lot more fun than Tyson's ex–best friend, Brighton. These days, Bright just wants to be seen with the cool jocks who make fun of Tyson's Taylor Swift obsession and dorky ways.

So when Grandpa Gene has to move to a nursing home that can manage his kidney disease, Tyson feels like he's losing his only friend. Not only that, but Tyson was counting on Grandpa Gene to take him on his first big hunt. So in defiance of Mom and Dad's strict orders, and despite reports of a scary, stalking, man-eating grizzly named Sandy, the two sneak off to the Grand Tetons. Yes, there will be action, like shooting and dressing a six-hundred-pound elk. Is Tyson tough enough? There will be heart-pounding suspense: Is Grandpa Gene too sick to handle the hunt, miles away from help? And, oh yes, there will be bears...

Knuffle Bunny, by Mo Willems. (Audio, narrated by Trixie Willems.)

Trixie, Daddy and Knuffle Bunny take a trip to the neighborhood laundromat, but their exciting adventure takes an unexpected turn when Trixie realizes something is missing. Brilliantly narrated by author Mo Willems and his real-life daughter, Trixie, this instant classic will keep viewers on the edge of their seats! (All descriptions from OverDrive.)
