About the Author

Bob Dylan has written more than 600 songs. His 46 albums have sold more than 110 million copies around the world. He has won numerous awards including the Kennedy Center Honor, the French Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, Sweden’s Polar Music Prize, an Academy Award®, a Golden Globe®, and Grammys® too numerous to mention. In 2008, Bob Dylan was awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture.” His most recent album of original material, Together Through Life, was released in 2009 and entered the number one slot in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

With words by one of the most admired songwriters of all time and illustrations by a Caldecott Honor

medalist, this powerful and timely picture book will be treasured by adults and children alike.

Following the success of Man Gave Names to All the Animals comes a stunning version of Bob Dylan’s beloved song: the anthemic “Blowin’ in the Wind.” Dylan’s poetic lyrics defined an era, and Jon J Muth is the perfect artist to interpret this iconic song for a new generation of readers.

This beautiful edition includes a CD of Dylan’s original 1963 recording of the song.

New York Times bestselling adult true crime author Gregg Olsen makes his YA debut with EMPTY COFFIN,

a gripping new fiction series for teens based on ripped-from-the-headlines stories. . .with a paranormal touch. Crime lives—and dies—in the deceptively picture-perfect town of Port Gamble (aka “Empty Coffin”), Washington. Evil lurks and strange things happen—and 15-year-olds Hayley and Taylor Ryan secretly use their wits and their telepathic “twin-sense” to uncover the truth about the town’s victims and culprits. Envy, the series debut, involves the mysterious death of the twins’ old friend, Katelyn. Was it murder? Suicide? An accident? Hayley and Taylor are determined to find out—and as they investigate, they stumble upon a dark truth that is far more disturbing than they ever could have imagined. Based on the shocking true crime about cyber-bullying, Envy will take you to the edge—and push you right over.

readers a touch of happy holiday spirit.

Everyone’s a little snowed under preparing for Christmas: a storm is

combines photographs and charming line drawings—helps make

Christmas very merry, indeed.

companionship. But will Crusoe ever see his home again? One of the most popular books of all time,

Robinson Crusoe will appeal to a new generation of readers.
