Etta spends most of her time alone, working on her comic book about Invincible Girl, the superhero who takes down super villain Petra Fide. Invincible Girl is brave, daring, and bold—everything Etta wishes she could be.But when Louisa May Alcott, a friendly Goldendoodle from across the street, disappears, Etta and the dog’s boy, Eleazar, must nd their inner heroes to save her. The catch? Louisa May has run onto a magical train that mysteri-ously arrived at the station near Etta and Eleazar’s houses. Onboard, they discover each train car is its own magical world with individual riddles and challenges that must be solved before they can reach the engine room and rescue Louisa May. Only, the stakes are even higher than they thought. The Little Green EnvelopeGillian Sze(Groundwood Books)$19.99Lean on Me: A Children’s Picture BookBill Withers (Akashic Books)$16.95FRIENDSHIP
