Neko loves playing double bass in the Butterfield Symphony Orchestra–until the Twigget family of mice takes up residence inside his instrument. Neko can’t ignore Mama Twigget’s intense staring, Papa’s boisterous dancing, or the twins who ride his bow and limbo at his feet. His playing suffers and, in a dramatic moment, Neko is fired in front of the entire orchestra and its audience. Neko is sad until something surprising happens that allows him–with the help of the Twiggets–to discover that playing music for himself is just as important as playing for others.

In Elinormal, her bossy mom threatens to sue if Elinor is not granted a spot in a prestigious ballet academy. The problem is, Elinor has no interest in ballet.

The people in her life finally converge—secret identities are revealed, and Elinor has an epiphany about the nature of relationships and the power of love.
In the sequel, New Girl: The Further Adventures of Elinormal, Elinor is ready for the first day of seventh grade when a last-minute phone call turns her world upside down. She misses the first week of school and when she gets back she’s called “the new girl” even though she’s not. Elinor quickly learns that people are complicated and relationships take work. Lots of work. As she discovers who she is, who she wants to be, and what she wants most in life, she struggles to balance friendships, both old and new, while also unraveling her mother’s mysterious past.
