Not a lot of new books on my list this week, so I will just cover them all in one section. New books on the horizon this week include the following:
Pete the Cat:Five Little Ducks – A new picture book starring kid-favorite, Pete the Cat!

The Case of the Counterfeit Criminals – Book 3 in the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency series. I loved the first book in this series! I need to catch up. In this book, the girls take on a case of blackmail.
The Someday Birds – This story about an autistic boy and his wild family traveling across the country while his father pursues treatment for injuries sustained in Afghanistan sounds fantastic! This is high on my list for this week.
The Ethan I Was Before – Two kids wrestle with secrets in their past as they hope for new adventures and a friendship that will support them both when they need it most. This also sounds fantastic! Middle grade books are some of the best stories being written today, in my opinion
