Three little Swedish brothers help their mother with all the chores at home to earn two bright yellow sleds, one for themselves and one for a poor, unhappy little boy.

As the Wanteds, Unwanteds, and Necessaries struggle to adjust to changes in their society, Mr. Today begins training fourteen-year-old Alex to replace him as Artimé's leader one day while Alex's disgraced twin, Aaron, connives to take over Quill.

Alex and his friends from Artimé are stranded on a newly-discovered island, and they are not alone. While in Quill, his twin Aaron's power base grows as he joins with an unlikely ally in a risky plan to finally conquer Artimé.

The magical world of Artimé is gone and the Unwanteds are looking to Alex Stowe for answers, but while his twin brother Aaron continues to build his army in Quill, a very dangerous common enemy is revealed.

"Aidan, a transgender boy, experiences complicated emotions as he and his parents prepare for the arrival of a new baby"--

In the first of two stories, zombie goldfish Frankie is good at saving the day, but the medieval day reenactment joust may be too much, and in the second story, Tom's evil brother clones a Jurassic carp, putting the school in danger.

Baby's loud. Baby's messy. Sometimes Baby really smells. Maybe Baby just doesn't know the rules? Good thing it's big brother time--he can show Baby how to be the best baby ever!

Growing up in 1970s Ohio, Mexican American brothers Pedro and Daniel, who are not like other boys, manage an abusive home life, school, coming out, first loves, first jobs, and the AIDS epidemic, leaning on each other always and forever.

"Pedro tiene la mejor tarea para la escuela: coleccionar insectos y elegir uno sobre el cual escribir. Llena un frasco con cada hormiga, catarina y escarabajo que encuentra. Pero se desata el caos cuando su hermano, Paco, ¡los deja escapar a todos!"--Page 4 of cover. Pedro collects a lot of different bugs for a class assignment, but when his brother lets them out in the house their parents are furious, and ban any further collecting.
