Real Siblings
“When adopted siblings Harper and Wyatt hear this, they start to question what it means to be a real sibling. They share experiences and emotions, and they help each other out in times of need, but most importantly, they have unconditional love for one another. Isn’t that enough?” — publisher
Super Spaghetti
“Meet Fred, a boy who loves spaghetti. Fred’s mom is an inventor, and when she builds a machine that can turn anything into spaghetti, Fred thinks life will be nothing but noodles from here on out. But when Fred himself accidentally ends up in the amazing spaghetti-making machine, Fred finds himself transformed. He becomes Super Spaghetti! (A superhero made entirely of spaghetti.) Is this spaghetti-crazy-boy-turned-superhero made of the right stuff to save his town?” — publisher
We Weren’t Looking to Be Found
“Dani comes from the richest, most famous Black family in Texas and has everything a girl could want. So why does sheep using drugs and engaging in other self-destructive behavior? Camila’s Colombian American family doesn’t have much, but she knows exactly what she wants out of life and works her ass off to get it. So why does she keep failing, and why does she self-harm every time she does? When Dani and Camila find themselves rooming together at Peach Tree Hills, a treatment facility in beautiful rural Georgia, they initially think they’ll never get along—and they’ll never get better. But then they find a mysterious music box filled with letters from a former resident of PTH, and together they set out to solve the mystery of who this girl was . . . and who she’s become. The investigation will bring them closer, and what they find at the end might just bring them hope.” — publisher
Be a Bridge
Rhyming verse describes different ways in which readers can “be a bridge,” from welcoming a new student and listening respectfully when someone else is talking to standing up to a bully and comforting a classmate who is upset.
Love Bubble
“Love bubbles are meant to protect us from the trouble that can find us in daily life. They require faith, hope, and persistence to give them power. Encouraging readers to dig deep and believe in themselves, Harold Green III’s Love Bubble reminds children of the power of love—for ourselves and everyone around us.” — publisher
The Stitch Clique (The Stitch Clique #1)
“When the store Zoey’s Closet opens its doors to offer sewing classes for beginners, Ava, Gracie, Lily, Maya, and Sophia walk in not knowing each other or what to expect. But as they talk about their favorite fashion looks and trade stories about their families, something just clicks. They discover they have a lot in common—in fact, their differences only make each other more interesting! Everything seems to be going well until a hurricane hits Maya’s old hometown, leaving it in devastation. Determined to help, the girls come up with an idea: they can raise money for the town’s recovery by putting on a charity benefit… plus a fashion show! They just need to contact the vendors, get the word out, design and sew all the clothes… Will the girls be able to pull it off in time?” — publisher
The Book That Almost Rhymed
“What do you do with an interrupting sibling? Especially when she’s stepping all over your story with wild ideas that don’t. Even. Rhyme. Knights riding rockets? Dancing pirates? Who’s ever heard of a fire-breathing armadillo?! But when this big brother realizes his sister just might be improving his yarn—and doing it with an impressive surprise of her own—it’s clear what you do with an interrupting sibling. You share the narrative! Turns out adventure is way more fun when you build it together, rhyme by daring rhyme.” — publisher
Freddie Ramos Sees in the Dark
“Every superhero has a super weakness, and Freddie’s is his fear of the dark. When a power outage hits Starwood Park Apartments, Freddie has to rely on a special new set of night vision goggles as he helps his neighbors. Meanwhile, Freddie’s friend Maria seems to be getting suspicious of him. Can he conquer his fear while keeping Maria in the dark about his Zapato Power?” — publisher
Give Back
“Follow a little girl and her multigenerational family as they prepare for a community meal and clothing drive. With charming, lyrical text from Gina Bellisario, Give Back celebrates kindness, community, and the various ways we can give to those around us. A perfect book for the holiday season and all year round.” — publisher
You’re Breaking My Heart
“Harriet Adu knows that her brother’s death is her fault. I mean, it’s not actually her fault, but it still kinda is, isn’t it? She would do anything to live in a world where she could take back what she said that morning. Then a strange girl shows up at Harriet’s high school – a girl who loves the same weird books Harriet does, who doesn’t vibe with anyone at school the same way Harriet does – and that different world suddenly seems possible. The girl speaks of a place underneath the subways of New York, where people like them can go and find a home. A place away from the world of high school, grief, cool people, and depression. A place where one may be able to bend the lines of reality and get a second chance at being a better person. Will Harriet open the door?” — publisher
