Just when we all need a friend most. When Emma loses Squeezy, her favorite stuffy, she finds something unexpected that’s even better: friendship. Friends for real, Ted and beloved illustrator Ruth Ohi have created warm and delightful proof that two imaginations are better than one.
In his video, Ted uses Friends for Real as an example of how to make your own picture book!

Add four ordinary kids, four oddly super powers, and four oddly super writers (Ted Staunton, Kevin Sylvester, Richard Scrimger, Lesley Livingston) and you get four SUPER BOOKS that are more than epic!
For Gary Lundborg, it’s literally mind over matter when his telekinetic power kicks in. Unfortunately, it only works between three and six in the morning, and a growth spurt is making Gary clumsy. Will Gary find the confidence to mind what really matters on a top-secret mission to foil a master criminal planning to rule the world from a farting blimp? Not even Doctor Fassbinder knows for sure…
Blurbs and Excerpts for Ted’s What Blows Up and Kevin’s Mucus Mayhem are at Scholastic Canada/Almost Epic Squad and Scholastic Canada/What Blows Up.

How can you liven up a boring camping trip with your grandpa and your younger brother? Lose the new cell phone you weren’t supposed to bring with you.
Spencer finds more than he was looking for as he dodges a War of 1812 reenactment, a student film crew, an old flame of Grandpa’s, a crooked history buff, and Laura Secord’s cowbell: a first taste of independence and maybe a glimpse of his future – by way of the past.
The third installment of Seven is ‘prequels’: stories that happened before the first two, when the boys were twelve and thirteen and Grandpa was there with them. Watch for Seven author events near you and at OLA!
