But to defeat the Dark Standardized Testing Forces they re going to need an even bigger, even more surprising ally: Principal Rabbski. With pressure from great forces the school board will this former enemy join the Rebellion, or will her transformation into Empress Rabbski, Dark Lord of the Sith, be complete? With this topical episode, Tom Angleberger demonstrates once again that his grasp of middle-school emotions, humor and behavior is spot-on ("Scripps Howard News Service"). Praise for "Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!" "Fans will devour this satisfying and nicely realistic conclusion to the story set up in the previous volume. Characters grow, and non Star Wars pop-culture references seep in. Readers new to the series are advised to go back to the beginning; they won t regret it." --"Kirkus Reviews" "These books are more popular than a working droid on Tatooine. Expect the usual army of young Jedis to come out swinging for a copy." --"Booklist""

Hope Wins

Every famous piece of art has an origin story—even Bach’s Goldberg Variations! When the richest dude in town can’t sleep, he hires a much-less-rich dude named Johann Gottlieb Goldberg to play him lullabies on the harpsichord. Goldberg does an OK job, but as the Rich Dude hollers for Goldberg each night, he wakes up the whole town in the process. As the town gets sleepier and sleepier and grumpier and grumpier, Goldberg worries he may be out of a job soon. But then, the one and only Bach enters the scene with a series of lullabies composed specifically for the Rich Dude. And, thus, the Goldberg Variations are born! This zany, nontraditional nonfiction picture book comes from the inimitable Tom Angleberger, author of the bestselling Origami Yoda series.
