Sherman Oak and the Magic Potato
by S. William Shaw
On the last day of school, Sherman Oak is given an atomic wedgie in front of hundreds of cheering students. Upon returning home, Sherman wishes for courage. A plain baked potato in an aluminum foil wrapper explodes with green light, and grants Sherman his wish. Sherman Oak is taken away against his will to a strange land. There, he must complete a journey filled with mosquito skeletons, snakes that wind from the sky, a haunted cottage, cactus outlaws, and a one hundred foot pus-oozing behemoth. If Sherman fails, his family and school mates will remain trapped in the land forever.

Book
A Wrinkle in Time
by Madeleine L'Engle
Madeleine L'Engle's ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, soon to be a major motion picture. It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. "Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract." A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal. It is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time. A Wrinkle in Time is soon to be a movie from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling. This title has Common Core connections.
