Expedition Backyard: Exploring Nature from Country to City by Rosemary Mosco and Binglin Hu.

Each day, two best friends- Mole and Vole venture out into the world - never forgetting their nature journal! - to see what they can find in their own backyard. From pigeons to swamp milkweed, these two explorers get to know every part of their local environment. But after an accidental move from the country to the city, Mole and Vole worry that everything will be different. As they explore, they discover plants to look at and animals to meet in their new home as well. This nonfiction graphic novel uncovers that nature is everywhere- no matter where you live.

Fenway and the Bone Thieves (Make Way for Fenway #1) by Victoria J. Coe.

Fenway is a little dog with a GIANT personality. There's nothing better than a brand-new bone! And nothing worse than sneaky squirrels trying to steal it! But Fenway is smarter than those squirrels, and he finds the perfect place to hide his bone. The only problem is the hiding place might be too hard for Fenway to find, too!

King of the Ice (Miles Lewis #1) by Kelly Starling Lyons.

Miles Lewis loves science and sports. But when his teacher announces a class field trip to an ice skating rink to learn about physics, he isn't so excited. He's never ice skated before, and his friend RJ won't let him forget it. RJ even challenges him to a bet: If Miles skates without falling, RJ will put a "Miles is the man" sign on his backpack. But if Miles falls, he has to put one on his that says the same about RJ. Miles can barely focus on the bet, though, because he suspects his beloved Nana has plans to move out of his family's house-and that's just too much to bear. Can he keep his cool with all the pressure from RJ while finding a way to make his grandma stay?

Mayra Khan and the Incredible Henna Party (Mayra Khan #1) by Saadia Faruqi.
