Starting high school brings big changes for Immie and Jack, who’ve been everything to each other ever since Jack crashed his skateboard into Immie’s yard when they were seven years old. All of a sudden, a game-winning goal catapults Jack into star status with the soccer team, and Immie is meeting new girlfriends whose questions are making her wonder about the identity of her father for the first time in her life.
And amidst all of this, they’re both realizing their feelings for each other might run deeper than they thought. Can their friendship—and the promise of something more—weather the storm that is growing up?
ALL MY BESTS (available now) a smart and emotional romance told through playlists and memories follows two young teens struggling to hold onto each other as their friendship changes.
This is a fun book to read!
| An energetic squirrel isn’t ready to give up on winter fun and go to bed in this cozy picture book about animal friends who spend an unforgettable night romping in the snow! The snowstorm is over. The stars are out. But one little squirrel is not in bed. He’s having far too much fun building snow animals and gliding and skating on glittering ice with his friends Squirrel, Owl, Fox, and Bear…until drowsy eyes and sleepy yawns begin to slow the animals’ steps. Could it finally be time for Squirrel to turn in for the night? |

This comprehensive guide, which just earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly, is a must-read for kids and their grown-ups when talking about the election this season.
This inclusive, non-partisan book is packed with archival photos, did-you-know facts, masterful breakdowns of complicated systems, and best of all: original reporting. Brower interviewed carpenters, cooks, barbers, and other Hill staffers about their perspectives and patriotism. She also contextualizes the Capitol and our democracy within history, including recent events like the January 6th insurrection, which features firsthand accounts from people on the ground, including one of the Capitol’s catering managers and young staffers from both sides of the aisle, providing a new and important oral history.
I found this book to be very educational and entertaining!
