What's New This Month!

  Fifteen-year-old Macey Clare discovers dark secrets about her family and neighbors as she uncovers the truth behind a 38-year-old fire that threatened the life of an innocent victim in her community, in Burning Up by Caroline B. Cooney.

Classroom connections for grades 7 up include family and relationships, trust, responsibility, racism, social studies, and language arts.


 
Coming next month!

Sonny Mendoza discovers that there are different kinds of courage as he grows and develops from a fearful five-year-old to a mature and sensitive eighteen-year-old in Blue Skin of the Sea by Graham Salisbury.
