Crow Call
Author: Lois Lowry
Drawn from her own personal experience as a child, two-time Newberry medalist Lois Lowry has crafted a story about the power of linguine and one girl's connection with her father, who has just returned from the war.
One of Liz’s favorite memories of her dad is the day they passed the window of Kronenberg’s department store. Daddy had bought her a very special gift – something warm and wonderful to remember him by. A gift she would never outgrow.

The Boy Who Loved Words
Author: Roni Schotter
Words. Selig collects them, ones that stir his heart (Mama!) and ones that make him laugh (giggle). But what to do with so many luscious words? After helping a poet find the perfect words for his poem (lozenge, lemon, and licorice), he figures it out: His purpose is to spread the word to others. And so he begins to sprinkle, disburse, and broadcast them to people in need.

Miss Alaineus
Author: Debra Frasier
Anyone who has ever been daunted: discouraged or disheartened, by a mere word in the dictionary will cheer wildly: in a manner lacking all restraint, as Sage transforms embarrassment into victory in Debra Frasier's touching story of loving—and mistaking—our glorious language.
