Uh-Oh…two friends and three tasty mushrooms. Sharing isn’t always easy…
Robin
I wish I could live in the world Rebecca Kim Wells has built in SHATTER THE SKY. This book has it all: adventure; intrigue; a culture that accepts queerness without question; a protagonist who is clever, practical, determined, and impossible not to love. And, of course, DRAGONS!
Kate
The only thing that would make me love this book more is if it had been published 15 years ago so I could have read it over and over again as a teenager.
Shana
What do you do when your dragon's flame goes out? Turns out he just needs some love and support.
Katie
This is a really cute story for all the people out there (cough, myself, cough) who need a reminder to slow down, especially during the summer months. And the art is a delight!
Caleb
An Ember in the Ashes is one of my all time favorite books. From the first chapter to the last, you will be consumed by Sabaa Tahir's fantastic writing. Right from the start, you enter the Martial Empire and the story sets off, pulling you with it. Laia and Elias happen to be the main characters, but Helene will surprise you. And Helene is who I'm rooting for to win it all. Who will you root for?
Sinny
Despite his small stature, Truman is a daring adventurer! This picture book is adorable (and also a great back-to-school title).
Rebecca
Kalyn's father murdered Gus's father seventeen years ago. Or did he? In Wild and Crooked, Thomas delves into the prejudices around the murder that split their small Kentucky town and their families in half, while also deftly exploring family, social class, sexuality, homophobia, poverty, and disability in a way that never feels forced. The book avoids the trap of a Romeo and Juliet romance and instead focuses on family and friendship in a gripping, heartfelt novel of forgiveness and love.
April
Who has teeny, tiny arms, a huge heart, and not a lot of sense? Tiny the T-Rex! Just try not to fall in love with him. Good luck with a hug though.
Stacey
Rabbit is searching for Lettuce, but finds some weird story-portals along the way in this rainbow-colored gem. Dog Man readers are going to devour this! If I brought this book into my after-school comics class there'd be an epic battle over who got to read it first!
Marika
When her dad returns from deployment, Emilia rebuilds her relationship with him in the welding shop. Meanwhile, her school friendships are in turmoil as the district considers relocating students.
