Booksale at the Main Library
Brookline Library (Village branch) has a TON of great kids' books in their outdoor booksale area. They seem to have had lots of new or almost new books donated -- many from popular series like Wimpy Kid and Henry and Mudge and Ivy and Bean (and many more). Check it out if you're in the area (next to Pierce School and Town Hall).

Being a quadruplet can make it hard to stand out from the crowd. Becca's three brothers all have something that makes them...them. Bailey has his music and dancing, Jammer plays hockey, and K.C. thinks they're all living in a simulation and doesn't see the point of doing much of anything. Becca is the only one with nothing to make her special.
But when she finds a tiny, sick piglet on the side of the road, Becca knows this is it. This is her thing. She names the piglet Saucy and between her own pleading and Saucy's sweet, pink face, Becca convinces her family to take her in. Soon, Saucy is as big a part of the family as anyone else--and getting bigger. With each pound Saucy gains, the more capable she becomes of destroying the house and landing Becca in trouble. Becca's cause becomes bigger when she finds out there are more piglets out there who need her help! Great family story & could be a good read-aloud.
