Burro's Tortillas- In this humorous Southwestern retelling of The Little Red Hen, Burro
finds it hard to get help from his friends as he works
to turn corn into tortillas. Young children will love the repetition;
older children will enjoy the book’s many puns. In addition to its
Southwestern “flavor,” the story imparts an accurate picture of
the traditional way that tortillas are made. A Spanish/English glossary
and a simple recipe for making tortillas are included (Sylvan

Holdup-It
was just another ordinary Saturday night for the teens working at
Burger Heaven until everything changed in an instant. Suddenly, there
were guns drawn, a quick exit denied, and threats made. And when the
evening ended, neither the robbers’ nor the hostages’ lives would ever
be the same. Holdup is a novel in four parts. Parts
One and Two explore each person’s life before they are all thrown
together in this most unexpected and frightening evening. Part Three
allows the reader to live through the experience of the robbery itself,
and Part Four reveals the unexpected and surprising effects of that
night’s chance encounter one year later . (Roaring Brook)
