      About This Book

      WHO KNOWS WHAT IT WILL MAKE YOU DO....
      When Mongoose finds a blue library card hidden among the candy he's shoplifted, his friend Weasel tosses the card away. But the card comes back.

      Brenda, a television addict, must endure the Great TV Turn-Off. No more "Teen Toons." No more "Dude Feud." Then the blue card appears...

      On a hot summer day, Sonseray wanders into a library knowing he'll find air-conditioning—and finds much more.

      And April Mendez takes a ride in a bookmobile unlike any other.

      In stories that range from humorous to heartbreaking, Newbery award-winner Jerry Spinelli reveals the amazing possibilities lurking behind library doors.
