Hélène Boudreau

Out now!

Quick! Close your mouth!

Especially if your eyes feel droopy, your shoulders feel sloopy, and your mouth feels like it wants to stretch open wide to let out a great big yawny yaaaaaawn — hey, you were supposed hold it in! Oh, dear. You know what happens next, don’t you?

(You were warned. You can’t say you weren’t warned!)

A hilarious—and infectious—cautionary fable that is so much fun, readers will beg for it again and again, whatever the consequences!

Praise for I Dare You Not to Yawn:

Publisher’s Weekly: “Boudreau… dispenses mock advice for children who want to avoid bedtime with a sly dose of comedy.”

Kirkus: “Just the ticket for nap-time or bedtime sharing.”

SLJ: “a fun selection”

Booklist: “Boudreau and Bloch work seamlessly here to deliver the funny…”

Just Your Average Teenage Mer-Girl

The only thing that terrifies Jade more than the ocean is dancing at the Fall Formal. Because Jade has two left feet—er, flippers. Who knew being a high school freshman is even more awkward than being a plus-size aqua-phobic mer-girl? At least her only drama is of the human variety…

Or not.

The Mermish Council has just declared that all land-dwelling mers but return to the ocean. Pronto. But there’s no way Jade is going to let her mom, or Luke, her…boyfriend? mer-guy-friend?, disappear into the deep, dark ocean. Again. After all, a girl’s got to have a date to her first dance.

If Jade can stop mer-mageddon, finding a plus-size dress that doesn’t look like a shower curtain should be a piece of cake.

Praise for Real Mermaids Don’t Need High Heels:

“The adventures of a part-time mermaid continue with more comedy and easy but suspenseful action…Frothy fun.”—Kirkus
