Twelve-year-old Ava finds an old pencil in her family's junk drawer and discovers, during a math test, that it will answer factual questions, so she and her best friend Sophie have a great time--and Ava grows in self-confidence--until the pencil reveals a truth about her family that Ava would rather not know.

Linus hopes to win the family art show but his eraser, Ernie, obliterates his work, his self-confidence, and his joy until a word from Smudge inspires Linus to try again.

"Relegated to the junk drawer after his boy Jackson becomes enamored with a new tablet, Pencil rallies his fellow tools and office supplies in a pun-punctuated text. Together, they find a creative way to catch Jackson's attention: a flipbook created using their many combined talents."--

Fifth-grader Bob and his best friend Clementine are visited by the superhero Hot Dog from the planet Dogzalot to warn of an invasion of evil pencils with plans to erase the whole world.
