This page-turning adventure packs a whollup of a lesson: what we fear most is the truth about ourselves. Luckily, it also helps us discover the magic of facing that truth. This cleverly crafted fantasy is full of magic, silliness, suspense and adventure and is an absolute hit with the little ones.

Editors Choice: small-press titles: Kendra Kandlestar and the Box of Whispers. Kendra Kandlestar is an 11-year-old girl from the Land of Een with seven brown braids that radiate out from her head. Vancouvers Lee Edward Födi wrote this fantasy story—which he says is, at the bottom, about confronting your fears—and created its better-than-average black-and-white illustrations.
