A neglected dog brings two misfits together in this adventure for middle schoolers who love animals and a story where the kids take charge.

For Caleb, September is off to a rough start. His parents have split up, he’s moved to a new town, and—worst of all—he misses his dog. Valery is his new neighbor, but apart from being in the same class, they have nothing in common. Valery is lonely and hurt since her best friend abandoned her for a boy, and she thinks Caleb is just obnoxious. Under normal circumstances, they’d never be friends. But these aren’t normal circumstances.

There’s a hurricane coming, and Valery and Caleb are both worried for Lyra, their neighbor’s terribly neglected dog. None of the adults in their lives will do anything, so they hatch a plan to rescue her themselves, no matter how risky.

The Dog Heist by @daniannejansen publishes on September 1, 2026. Cover design by @katy.dockrill. Pre-order the book from your local bookstore! For ages 9-12.

Come join Alina on a fun and brand-new adventure!

In the third book of The Alina Books series, Alina can’t wait to discover Nairobi with her cousin Safi.

Alina has grown up on the stories her family tells of Nairobi, Kenya, and now she’s going to see it all for herself! The street markets, the yummy food, and best of all, she gets to visit her cousin Safi. This summer, instead of the bulls at the Calgary Stampede, Alina is going to get up close and personal with a giraffe!

When Alina arrives in Nairobi, she finds it busy and loud. It’s not how she imagined, and she feels out of place. Will her adventures with Safi help her connect to her Kenyan roots? One thing is certain—Alina and Safi will make their own stories along the way!

Alina in Her Roots, written by Shenaaz G. Nanji, illustrated by @beenathemistry is publishing this Fall on September 15, 2026. Pre-order the book from your local bookstore! For ages 6-8.

Keep an eye out for more sneak previews of our upcoming Fall 2026 covers!

Congrats to Karin Wells, author of Women Who Woke Up the Law, on being a finalist for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing at the Politics and the Pen Gala in Ottawa. Women Who Woke Up the Law is a powerful biography of a group of women and the long-lasting legal legacy they created in advancing women’s rights in Canada. The jury said of the book: "For policymakers and voters alike, Wells’ book stands as an important and accessible reminder that progress toward equality is rarely an entirely organic process.”

Congratulations to Maggie Helwig and her publisher, Coach House Books. Maggie's book, Encampment: Resistance, Grace, and an Unhoused Community was the winner of the night. Such a profoundly moving and important book. In photo 1, Karin and SSP Publisher Emerita Margie Wolfe are with Maggie Helwig at the awards.

It was a wonderful night celebrating incredible writing and advocacy, and it didn’t end there. Karin also signed a copy of her book for the Speaker of the House of Commons!

We’re so proud of Karin and the recognition for this exceptional book!
