Superb, detailed telling of exactly how Hitler took over the government and the church and one faithful priest's struggle against it all.

This is a perfect series to tide you over while you wait for the second coming of the Hunger Games. While the "compete for survival" premise might sound familiar, there are plenty of sci-fi twists to keep you frantically turning the pages. And it's in space, where no one can hear you scream! Or CAN they....?
Caleb
Barbara has to tackle challenges ranging from making friends to chasing ghosts, all while resentfully getting used to life in a wheelchair. A story that both warms and wrenches the heart about one of the most prominent disabled superheroes in comics.
Shana
Boarding school, scandal, royals, diverse characters, and a re-telling of Beauty and the Beast makes this book irresistible. Princess Jaya Rao is no Belle and Lord Grey Emerson is no Beast, which makes their story feel like a brand new one instead of a re-telling. If you're a fan of fun, you'll like this book.
Sinny
Follow a pair of clever fox kits through the spooky underbelly of the forest in this beautifully-woven tale, reminiscent of Watership Down by way of the Brothers Grimm. The dangers the foxes face will make you want to keep the light on and the door shut tight--but, as the wise old storyteller counsels, if you can make it to the end of the tale, you'll find a happy ending waiting there.
Kate
A great new fantasy series that combines Filipino culture, anti-ICE sentiments, and traditional fairy tale themes all in one.
Stacey
This is a story of a Russian writer’s immigration as told through his typewriter! Beautiful art work, and clever text complete the tale.

I've been a huge fan of Nina MacLaughlin for ages and this book blew me away. It's shocking, enraging, beautiful, and heartfelt. I loved this.

Lindy West is a brilliant cultural critic and in this collection she tackles an array of subjects from Adam Sandler to #metoo to abortion rights to (of course) Trump and the right wing. This book is broader in its ambit than Shrill, her last one, but what really makes it delicious to read is her incisive observation, brilliant wordcraft, and laugh-out-loud hilarity. She is making deep and important points and reading will make you laugh and be furious at the same time.

Anna-Marie McLemore has a gift for writing enchanting prose and lovingly detailed characters. Told in alternating points-of-view across five centuries, their queer retelling of the classic fairy tale "The Red Shoes" will keep you turning pages late into the night.

One of my favorite members of the bat-family is finally getting a spotlight moment! Whether you're excited about the new Birds of Prey movie or just looking for a charming tale about overcoming your past, this graphic novel makes for a great introduction to Cassandra Cain. Perfect for superhero fans young and old!
Caleb
A wonderfully colorful and joyous celebration of Haitian perseverance and culture. Includes a tasty recipe to boot!
Stacey
There are a lot of stories about cis children dealing with getting a younger sibling. Aidan's feelings are extra complicated because people keep asking his parents what gender the baby will be, and they didn't know his real gender until he was old enough to tell them. He wants everything to be perfect from the start for this baby! A beautifully written and illustrated book great for children of any gender.

Clever and fun, this book is a joy to read. It is the Harold and the Purple Crayon of word play.

Why are you smiling? Why are you showing this to your friend? Why do you love this book?
It is full of surprises as every page opens up to reveal the perfect explanation for each facial
expression. Great fun to read!
