This week’s bestsellers list for young readers also includes a new Jeannie Baker picture book (hooray!), a new Julia Donaldson picture book (double hooray!), the first two of Aaron Blabey’s hilarious Bad Guys series (yes, this series is as good as everyone is saying), and an award-winning YA novel set during WWII.
