It's too bad girls are forbidden from becoming explorers. But Stella's father has never been one to play by the rules. Leaving behind her pet polar bear, Gruff, and beloved unicorn, Magic, Stella and Felix set off on an expedition to the snowy Icelands. There, Stella plans to prove herself as a junior explorer, worthy of membership in the Polar Bear Explorers' Club. So when Stella and three other junior explorers are separated from the rest of their expedition, she has the perfect opportunity. Can they explore the frozen wilderness and live to tell the tale?"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2300619</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2300619</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bell, Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2300619163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781534406469/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1077049736</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Forbidden Expedition]]></title><description><![CDATA[Stella Starflake Pearl, Ethan, Shay, Beanie, and Percifal set out for Witch Mountain, where a fearsome witch has taken Stella's father, Felix]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2323327</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2323327</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bell, Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2323327163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781534406490/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1048660766</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The White Octopus Hotel]]></title><description><![CDATA["Journey to a magical hotel in the Swiss Alps, where two lost souls living in different centuries meet and discover if a second chance awaits them behind its doors. London, 2015. When reclusive art appraiser Eve Shaw shakes the hand of a silver-haired gentleman in her office, the warmth of his palm sends a spark through her. His name is Max Everly-curiously, the same name as Eve's favorite composer, born one hundred sixteen years prior. And she has the sudden feeling that she's held his hand before . . . but where, and when? The White Octopus Hotel, 1935. In this belle époque building high in the snowy mountains, Eve and a young Max wander the winding halls, lost in time. Each of them has been through the trenches-Eve through a family accident and Max on the battlefields of the Great War-but for an impossible moment, love and healing are just a room away . . . if only they have the courage to step through the door."-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2476567</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2476567</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bell, Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2476567163</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798891647947/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1570485534</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crossing the Black Ice Bridge]]></title><description><![CDATA["Stella Starflake Pearl has been expelled from the Polar Bear Explorers' Club.  But that's not going to stop her and the rest of the junior explorers from embarking on another exceptionally perilous expedition. It hasn't been long since Shay was bitten by a witch wolf, but he's in danger of turning into one himself. Only an ice queen's long-lost spell book and Stella's ice princess magic has the power to break the curse. The one thing standing in their way is a treacherous monolith no explorer has ever returned from...the Black Ice Bridge.  In this final, daring installment of the Polar Bear Explorers' Club series, Stella and the rest of the gang embark on their most fearsome quest yet, plagued by distrustful mermaids, screeching red devil squids, irksome trolls, and a centuries-old curse." -- Amazon]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2358140</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2358140</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bell, Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2358140163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781534406520/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1139767513</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[1,339 Quite Interesting Facts to Make your Jaw Drop]]></title><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2085053</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2085053</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lloyd, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2085053163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393245608/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=881875842</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[1,411 Quite Interesting Facts to Knock You Sideways]]></title><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2123974</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2123974</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lloyd, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2123974163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393249873/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=902661334</image_url></item></channel></rss>
