Splashdown In Cerulean City

Misty does not want to go to Cerulean City, where her older sisters are the Gym Leaders, with Ash and Brock, but when she gets there she finds a way to prove her skills as a trainer of Water Pokâemon and help defend her sisters from Team Rocket.

Ash recalls how he met his Squirtle, who was the leader of a group of practical-joking Pokâemon known as the Squirtle Squad, how Squirtle helped him in his quest to become a Pokâemon master, and how it helped free the Squirtles' home island from danger.

From the writer of the bestselling Dragon Masters series and the illustrator of the bestselling Diary of a Pug series comes a high-energy, illustrated chapter book series about four dogs who learn that being yourself is much more fun than being Best in Show. Welcome to the town of Barksdale, where the canine residents strive for perfection. Every shopkeeper claims to be the "best groomer" or sell the "best biscuits." And at Barksdale Academy, the pressure is on every year for one pup to be named Best in Show. Nova, Duke, Harley, and Peanut have never won Best in Show... which is okay with them! But they have to work together to pass their Agility Exam, because either the whole pack passes or the whole pack fails. Nova has convinced her pals to train, but on her practice course, Duke is afraid to climb the high ramp, Harley keeps chasing squirrels, and Peanut can't make it through the hoops. Nova's not doing much better -- she's so excited she keeps knocking the whole course over! Will the pups make the grade, or are they doomed to be Underdogs forever? With black-and-white illustrations on every page and hilarious antics throughout, this series is perfect for readers who are just starting to read chapter books on their own, or for anyone who loves a good underdog story!

Does Ash have what it takes to be an Orange League champion?

In order to defeat the Psychic Pokemon of Gym leader Sabrina and earn a Marsh badge, Ash and Pikachu must find and tame the Ghost Pokemon of Pokemon Tower.

Where could the lost Pokémon be? Battling, of course! Ash finds Grovyle facing off against a territorial Tropius. But the battle is more than Grovyle can take. Luckily, the local Pokémon Center has a Meganium whose healing powers help revive the injured Pokémon. Grovyle takes a liking to Meganium, but this Pokémon only has eyes for the very Tropius that injured Grovyle to begin with! It's tough to be the odd one out, but Grovyle has a plan....

Here's Hank stars the same Hank as in the bestselling Hank Zipzer series, only this time he's in 2nd grade! Hank is a kid who doesn't try to be funny, but he somehow always makes the kids in his class laugh. He's pretty bad at memorizing stuff, and spelling is his worst subject. (But so are math and reading!) In the second book in this new series, Hank has finally persuaded his dad to get the family a dog, and Hank couldn't be more excited! Mesmerized by a little wiener dog chasing his tail (making him look like a Cheerio) at the animal shelter, Hank declares him to be the new Zipzer dog. But when Cheerio gets loose in the park, Mr. Zipzer furiously announces that the dog must go. Can Hank convince his father that he wasn't the one who let Cheerio off his leash, or will he really lose his new pet and best friend?
