Acevedo, Elizabeth - Inheritance: A Visual Poem

They tell me to “fix” my hair.

And by fix, they mean straighten, they mean whiten;

but how do you fix this shipwrecked

history of hair?

In her most famous spoken-word poem, author of the Pura

Belpré-winning novel-in-verse The Poet X Elizabeth Acevedo embraces all the

complexities of Black hair and Afro-Latinidad—the history, pain, pride, and powerful love

of that inheritance. Paired with full-color illustrations by artist Andrea Pippins in a format

that will appeal to fans of Mahogany L. Browne’s Black Girl Magic or Jason Reynolds’s

For Everyone, this poem can now be read in a vibrant package, making it the ideal gift,

treasure, or inspiration for readers of any age.

Albertalli, Becky & Adam Silvera - Here’s To Us (What If It’s Us #2)

Ben survived freshman year of college, but he’s feeling more stuck than ever.

His classes are a slog, his part-time job working with his father is even worse,

and his best friend Dylan’s been acting weird for weeks. Ben’s only real bright

spot is his writing partner Mario, who’s been giving him a lot of Spanish lessons

and even more kisses. Mario’s big Hollywood dreams make Ben start to dream

bigger—and the choices he makes now could be the key to reshaping his

future. So why can’t he stop thinking about a certain boy from his past? Arthur is

back in New York City for the first time in two years, ready to take the theater world by a storm

as the world’s best…intern to the assistant of an off-off-Broadway director. Of course, it sucks to

be spending the summer apart from his sweet, reliable boyfriend, Mikey, but he knows their

relationship is strong enough to weather the distance. Which is why it’s no big deal when his

ex-boyfriend Ben stumbles back into the picture. And it’s definitely fine that Ben’s blissfully

happy with some mystery boy. First loves are special, but it’s way too late for what-ifs. Right?

Even as the boys try to shake off the past, they keep running into each other in the present. Is

this the universe trying to tell them there’s a do-over in their future?

that mean we should? In the pages of Glowing Bunnies!? you will encounter some of the

strange and wonderful genetically modified animals of tomorrow. Learn why scientists are going

to such lengths to mess with genes and what the ethical and health-related consequences might

be. By understanding both the science and the stakes, you too can judge the potential of this

budding science to save―or ruin―the world. Presented as a compendium of existing and

proposed creatures, this book describes the animals being created, the scientific techniques

When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident

and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been

turned upside-down. Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like

she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad

in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and

blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her

age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile...and no legs. Knowing how angry and

afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition — no one can

tell Tessa about his disability. And because she can't see him, she treats him with contempt:

screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But for Weston, it's the most

amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes back.

Again and again and again. Tessa spurns Weston's "obnoxious optimism", convinced that he

has no idea what she's going through. But Weston knows exactly how she feels and reaches

into her darkness to show her that there is more than one way to experience the world. As

Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him — and

Weston can't imagine life without her. But he still hasn't told her the truth, and when Tessa's

sight returns he'll have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessa's world...or

overcome his fear of being seen.

Gaku, Kaito - Boys Run the Riot (volume #1)

High schooler Ryo knows he's transgender, but he doesn't have anyone to

confide in about the confusion he feels. He can't tell his best friend, who he's

secretly got a crush on, and he can't tell his mom, who's constantly asking why

Ryo "dresses like a boy." He certainly can't tell Jin, the new transfer student

who looks like just another bully... The only time Ryo feels at ease is when he's

wearing his favorite clothes. Then, and only then, the world melts away, and

he can be his true self. One day, while out shopping, Ryo sees someone he

didn't expect: Jin. The kid who looked so tough in class has the same taste in

fashion as him! At last, Ryo has someone he can open up to—and the journey ahead might

finally give him a way to express himself to the world.

Grann, David - Killers of the Flower Moon

This book is an essential resource for young readers to learn about the Reign

of Terror against the Osage people—one of history's most ruthless and

shocking crimes. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were

members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma, thanks to the oil that was

discovered beneath their land. Then, one by one, the Osage began to die

under mysterious circumstances, and anyone who tried to investigate met the

same end. As the death toll surpassed more than twenty-four Osage, the

newly created Bureau of Investigation, which became the FBI, took up the

case, one of the organization's first major homicide investigations. An undercover team,

including one of the only Native American agents in the bureau, infiltrated the region, struggling

to adopt the latest modern techniques of detection. Working with the Osage, they began to

expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. In this adaptation of the adult

bestseller, David Grann revisits his gripping investigation into the shocking crimes against the

Osage people. The book is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward Native

Americans that allowed the murderers to occur for so long.

Hirsch, Rebecca E. - Where Have All the Birds Gone?

Birds are disappearing. Birds are nature's essential workers, and they are crucial

members of ecosystems around the world. Hummingbirds pollinate our flowers;

cardinals munch on beetles, grasshoppers, and other pests that damage crops;

owls eat rodents that can spread disease; vultures clean up roadkill and other

waste. Beyond their practical aspects, birds bring us joy through their songs and

beautiful feathers. But since 1970, nearly 30 percent of all birds in the United

States and Canada have vanished. Scientists are scrambling to figure out what

may be causing such a drastic decline. The answer: humans. City lights and tall glass

skyscrapers disorient migrating birds. Domesticated cats prowling outdoors kill billions of birds

each year. Pesticides contaminate fish and insects, which are then consumed by birds of prey.

And climate change might disrupt and even wipe out feeding grounds for entire species.

Discover the vast impacts birds have on ecosystems, food systems, and human communities,

and learn more about what scientists are doing to protect them.

shelter. She seeks to help all those in need, even the stray dog she's named

Lebowitz that follows her around. But as much as she does for the world

diagnosed with cancer. Her job as an adjunct professor of Jewish studies does

not provide adequate health insurance--and Willow can see that time is running

Nardo, Don - Gods of World Mythology

Greek mythology has long been one of the major literary underpinnings of

Western (European-based) culture. What many Westerners do not realize,

however, is that very similar tales exist in the mythologies of cultures and

peoples around the globe. Looking at the many similarities among the gods and

myths of past peoples around the globe, it is only natural to wonder how those

parallels came about. A number of modern scholars have concluded that it did

not happen merely by coincidence.

Naifeh, Ted - Witch For Hire

Faye Faulker isn’t popular, and that’s just fine by her. She spends her lunches at

the Loser Table with the other social rejects, aka her best friends, and brushes off

the uninspired taunts from the cool kids. But when lonely freshman Cody finds her

way to Faye’s corner of the cafeteria, it sets off a peculiar chain of events...To

Cody’s surprise, these kids aren’t so bad; an overdramatic theater nerd, a

handicapable girl in a wheelchair, an overweight boy, and Faye, who comes to

school every day dressed like a witch. But it’s no costume, Fay really is a witch!

While high school can be hell for many reasons, this year the ante has been raised when a series of

pranks swiftly go from mischievous to downright dangerous. From the lowliest debate team nerds to

the prom queen, no one is safe, not even the teachers! When things start to really get out of hand,

Cody owns up to Faye: in a moment of desperation, she signs up for an online challenge that

promises to grant popularity to those who follow the website’s twisted demands. Now Faye is faced

with a choice: Reveal her witchy nature to Cody and help her or stand aside and keep her secret

identity safe. Despite her misgivings, Faye takes on the case, but will her powers be strong enough

to solve this mystery? And will people ever stop asking her if she puts newts’ eyes in her homemade

baked goods? Witch for Hire is a gothic whodunnit about resilience, magic, and the power of

friendship.

Nelson, Marilyn - Augusta Savage: The Shape of a Sculptor’s Life

A powerful biography in poems about a trailblazing artist and a pillar of the

Harlem Renaissance—with an afterword by the curator of the Schomburg Center for Research

in Black Culture. Augusta Savage was arguably the most influential American artist of the

1930s. A gifted sculptor, Savage was commissioned to create a portrait bust of W.E.B. Du Bois

for the New York Public Library. She flourished during the Harlem Renaissance, and became a

teacher to an entire generation of African American artists, including Jacob Lawrence, and

would go on to be nationally recognized as one of the featured artists at the 1939 World's Fair.

She was the first-ever recorded Black gallerist. After being denied an artists' fellowship abroad

on the basis of race, Augusta Savage worked to advance equal rights in the arts. And yet

popular history has forgotten her name. Deftly written and brimming with photographs of

Savage's stunning sculpture, this is an important portrait of an exceptional artist who, despite

the limitations she faced, was compelled to forge a life through art and creativity.

Pellerin, Grey's best friend, disappeared six months earlier. Grey can't believe

Schlitz, Laura Amy - Amber & Clay

Welcome to ancient Greece as only genius storyteller Laura Amy Schlitz can

conjure it. In a warlike land of wind and sunlight, "ringed by a restless sea,"

live Rhaskos and Melisto, spiritual twins with little in common beyond the

violent and mysterious forces that dictate their lives. A Thracian slave in a

Greek household, Rhaskos is as common as clay, a stable boy worth less than

a donkey, much less a horse. Wrenched from his mother at a tender age, he

nurtures in secret, aided by Socrates, his passions for art and philosophy.

Melisto is a spoiled aristocrat, a girl as precious as amber but willful and wild. She'll marry and

be tamed—the curse of all highborn girls—but risk her life for a season first to serve Artemis,

goddess of the hunt. Bound by destiny, Melisto and Rhaskos—Amber and Clay—never meet in

the flesh. By the time they do, one of them is a ghost. But the thin line between life and death is

just one boundary their unlikely friendship crosses. It takes an army of snarky gods and

fearsome goddesses, slaves and masters, mothers and philosophers to help shape their story

into a gorgeously distilled, symphonic tour de force. Blending verse, prose, and illustrated

archeological "artifacts," this is a tale that vividly transcends time, an indelible reminder of the

power of language to illuminate the over- and underworlds of human history.

hates Santiago and that he hates her back. But as chance and destiny (and maybe,

probably, close proximity) bring the two of them in each other’s perpetual paths, Moon

starts to wonder if that’s really true. She even starts to question her destiny as the unnoticed, unloved

wallflower she always thought she was. Could this summer change Moon’s life as she knows it?

Weisenberg, Marit - This Golden State

The Winslow family lives by five principles:

1. No one can know your real name.

2. Don't stay in one place too long.

3. If you sense anything is wrong, go immediately to the meeting spot.

4. Keeping our family together is everything.

5. We wish we could tell you who we are, but we can't. Please—do not ask.

Poppy doesn't know why her family has been running her whole life, but she does

know that there are dire consequences if they're ever caught. Still, her curiosity grows each year, as

does her desire for real friends and the chance to build on something, instead of leaving behind school

projects, teams, and crushes at a moment's notice.

When a move to California exposes a crack in her parents' airtight planning, Poppy realizes how fragile

her world is. Determined to find out the truth, she mails in a home DNA test. Just as she starts to settle

into her new life and even begins opening up to a boy in her math class, the forgotten test results bring

her crashing back to reality.

Unraveling the shocking truth of her parents' real identities, Poppy realizes that the DNA test has

undone decades of careful work to keep her family anonymous—and the past is dangerously close to

catching up to them. Determined to protect her family but desperate for more, Poppy must ask: How

much of herself does she owe her family? And is it a betrayal to find her own place in the world?

life to please everyone else, discovering her late aunt’s diaries shows her she’s not the

only one struggling to hide who she really is. But was her aunt truly a Romanov

undeniably cute, local college student named Evan, Jess digs into the century-old

mystery. But soon Jess realizes there’s another, bigger truth waiting to be revealed:

Jess Morgan. Because if she’s learned anything from Aunt Anna, it’s that only you can write your own

story.

Zhao, Xiran Jay - Iron Widow

In Huaxia, the highest honor for a young girl is to be selected as a

concubine-pilot: supporters paired up with male pilots to power up Chrysalises,

the giant transforming mechas that humanity relies on to battle the massive

aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. But the honor often ends in death, and

when 18-year-old Zetian’s sister is killed by an ace male pilot, Zetian signs up

to avenge her. The vengeance is swift, brutal - and unexpected, leaving Zetian

labeled as an Iron Widow, a much-feared kind of female pilot who can sacrifice

boys to power up Chrysalises instead of the other way around. To tame her unnerving yet

invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial

male pilot in Huaxia. But now that Zetian has a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She

will miss no opportunity to leverage her and Shimin’s combined might and infamy, and survive

attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system relies so

heavily on destroying girls’ lives - and dismantle it for good.
