It’s yet another week in the top spot for Readings Kids Prize winner Carly Nugent! The Peacock Detectives is a moving, heartwarming story for middle-grade readers about dealing with change and finding out who you are. Plus, it has some peacocks with very creative names!
We also recommend Erin Entrada Kelly’s You Go First. The complicated world of middle school friendships has never been more authentic or more humorous in this story about two friends connected only by an online game of Scrabble. For teen readers (and all lovers of sci fi), you can’t go wrong with Aurora Rising. Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff’s new book follows a ragtag group of teens on a daring space mission; hijinks and boneheaded heroism will undoubtedly occur.
And lastly, fans of His Dark Materials are going to love Elementals. Aurora Rising co-author Amie Kaufman delivers heart-pounding adventure and breathtaking magical inventions in this unforgettable story about finding one’s place in a sharply divided world.
