Dinosaur Boy by Cory Oakes
Years ago, Sawyer's grandfather was infected with a virus containing dinosaur DNA. As a result, Grandpa became part stegosaurus. The summer before fifth grade, Sawyer sprouted a tail and spikes too. Being a fifth grader is hard enough. Being part dinosaur is bound to make him stick out, and not in a good way. When the kids that bully him start to disappear, it's up to Sawyer and the few friends he has left to figure out what is going on.
I've never read a concept like this one so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it plays out in the novel.

Stinky Cecil in Operation Pond Rescue by Paige Braddock
Cecil and his friends are pretty happy with their simple lives. They have splash contests in the pond and visit with Jeff the free-range hamster. Their only worry, usually, is the local hawk who'd like to eat most of them. Things just got more complicated, though. The humans are building a highway that will go right through their pond. Can Cecil and his friends find a way to stop the highway?
This was a really cute graphic novel. It is simple enough to appeal to young readers.
