The New Kid

Illustrated by Petra Brown

About The Book

Logan tracks down a stolen book with the help of his new friend in the sixth book in the Tales from Maple Ridge series.

There’s a new kid in Logan’s one-room schoolhouse! He’s quiet, has thick glasses, and the other students are sure he’s trouble. When a new book goes missing from the classroom’s bookshelf, accusations fly. Logan decides he must track down the book—with the help of his new friend—to show his classmates that there’s always room for another student in their small school.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Tales from Maple Ridge chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

About The Author

Grace Gilmore is a city girl, but she has always been fascinated by farm life. Growing up, she spent many summers riding horses, chasing chickens, and swimming in the creek at her great-grandparents’ farm in the hollows of Kentucky. When she isn’t writing books, she can be found playing the piano, baking cookies, or wrangling various pets. Grace lives with her family in Ithaca, New York.

About The Illustrator

Petra Brown lives at the foot of Mount Snowdon near the little Ffestiniog railway, in the beautiful country of North Wales, United Kingdom.
