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
Key Player (Front Desk #4)
“The Women’s World Cup is coming to Southern California, and everyone has soccer fever—especially Mia Tang! The U.S. team is playing China in the finals, and Mia feels like her two identities are finally coming together. But when her P.E. teacher gives her a C, Mia tries to pull up her grade by scoring interviews with the championship teams. It’s not so easy when . . . 1. The two teams are hunkered down in secret hotels in Pasadena and not taking any media requests. 2. Mr. Yao is back at the motel—as a co-owner! Jason is sure his dad deserves a second chance. Mia is not so sure. 3. Mia’s parents are trying to buy a house of their very own, which turns out to be a LOT harder than they thought!” — publisher
Old Clothes for Dinner?!
“Magaly enjoys the yummy Cuban food her Abuela has been cooking since arriving from Havana, but when Magaly’s sweater goes missing, she discovers that Abuela is making ropa vieja for dinner. Old clothes for dinner? Yuck! Magaly needs to hide the rest of her clothes before her family eats them up.” — publisher
The Fall of Whit Rivera
“Frenemies Whit and Zay have been at odds for years (ever since he broke up with her in, like, the most embarrassing way imaginable), so when they’re forced to organize the fall formal together, it’s a literal disaster. Sparks fly as Whitney—type-A, passionate, a perfectionist, and a certified sweater-weather fanatic—butts heads with Zay, a dry, relaxed skater boy who takes everything in stride. But not all of those sparks are bad. . . . Has their feud been a big misunderstanding all along?” — 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
A Rainbow in Brown
“In art class, Jo wants to paint all the wonderful things she loves. With a palette of red, yellow, and blue, Jo knows she can mix them together to make a new color. Her imagination takes flight as she explores painting with primary colors and making her own secondary colors, each as beautiful as the last. But through her exploration of the colors of the rainbow, Jo finds that her favorite is a combination of them all: brown.” — publisher
Mango Memories
“Every summer, the branches of a little girl’s favorite tree droops heavy with mangoes. And this year, she is finally old enough to help her family harvest them. Her brother shares a memory about his first time mango picking: his father holding him steady as he reached high above for the fruit. But when the girl climbs the tree, she becomes too dizzy. Then her grandma shares a mango memory: learning, many years ago, to toss a stone that knocked the fruit from the branches. But when the girl throws her stone, she keeps missing.” — 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
Eighteen Roses
“Lucia Cruz is turning eighteen this year. She should be having a debut, but she is not the debutante type. Everything about a traditional Filipino debut feels wrong for her. Besides, custom dictates that eighteen friends attend her her debut, and Lucia only has one friend—Esmé. But Esmé wants something different out of her senior year. And, on top of that, Lucia’s mom has planned a debutante ball for her birthday behind her back. She’ll be forced to cobble together a court before her beloved lola arrives from the Philippines. How far will Lucia stray from her comfort zone in order to appease her family—while staying true to herself? Packed with humor and heart, this is an unforgettable novel by a powerful voice in YA fiction.” — publisher

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
