However, sixth grade girls love them so I have purchased quite a number for my library. Taco Tuesday has a romance side, but it also contains a realistic look at the heartache of parents who are separated and contemplating divorce, dealing with fellow students who just irritate you and finding a way to put aside the irritations of a know-it-all older sibling!
Going into 7th grade Dulce’s family has owned a Mexican themed restaurant for generations, featuring mostly recipes handed down from mother to daughter but with the arrival of a chain taco place with cheap food and plenty of flash, Fidelia is in trouble. Dulce is torn between resenting that she must work at the restaurant all summer instead of the usual sleeping late, hanging out with friends or attending camps and her love of the eatery and all the memories and traditions wrapped up in it. Older sister Flor, a high school student who is taking classes in restaurant management already, is full of ideas for making Fidelia more popular-more tacos and less of the traditional and delicious family recipes and even hosting a cooking camp for tweens and teens.
Julian is new to Dulce’s California town and is angry to have been dragged from the busy, full of life New York City he has always known and the fact that his recently separated parents are selling the brownstone he loves. An embarrassing incident between Julian and Dulce results in his meeting of two fellow skateboard fans, Tanner and Luke, and sets the stage for Julian and Dulce’s enemies to something more storyline.
Cooking camp, family woes, friendship, a lot of cooperation and working together round out this romance for younger readers, making it a solid selection for libraries serving 5th-7th grade. Text is free of profanity, violence (except for a messy collision between a taco and a customer) and the only physical contact is pretty tame kiss. Representation: Main characters are Caucasian and Hispanic with their friend group and the cooking class filled with a variety of personalities and skin tones.

In it, readers will learn that the man wWith the passing of icon James Earl Jones came the discovery of Kari Lavelle’s biography ODE TO A GRAPEFRUIT. In it, readers will learn that the man with the instantly recognized, silky-smooth voice was a stutterer and all but stopped trying to talk at age 5 and that the love of poetry led to the mastery of his tongue. Lavelle’s text flows easily and is accentuated by illustrations by the talented Bryan Collier (Rosa, Martin’s Big Words, These Hands & more). Astute readers may note that given Jones’ birth year of 1931, he was born in a time of segregated schools yet Collier’s illustrations show classrooms filled with great diversity. Background research by the author indicates that he attended an integrated Quaker school in Mississippi, however, that fact is left for students to discover on their own.
Excellent picture book biography for those ages 4-12 plus artists and/or fans of James Earl Jones of all ages.
Note: For something completely different, check out Kari Lavelle’s terrific animal nonfiction series Butt or Face, volumes 1 & 2 (as of 2024)....more
Published in 2000, this picture book is multi-faceted, fall-themed, and for a broad range of ages. Young Tim thoroughly enjoys creating a Jack o’LantePublished in 2000, this picture book is multi-faceted, fall-themed, and for a broad range of ages. Young Tim thoroughly enjoys creating a Jack o’Lantern for the season and is saddened when his mom tells him to throw the deteriorating gourd into the garden but watches, with interest, the changes in “Jack” as the seasons pass. The cycle ends as Tim shares every pumpkin from his vine except for the one he keeps to start the cycle all over again.
What a great seasonal, cross-curricular picture book! Useful for study of ecosystems, life cycles, sequencing, emotions and their changes over time, cause & effect, and even a character study.
Excellent adaptation of the 1971 The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom and Elizabeth and John Sherrill!
Having loved the original work and read it repeaExcellent adaptation of the 1971 The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom and Elizabeth and John Sherrill!
Having loved the original work and read it repeatedly, I found myself nervous when I began this graphic novel but soon found myself, once again, drawn into the true story of Corrie ten Boom and her family as they worked with Holland’s underground during World War II hiding Jews, protecting young men who would be forced into Hitler’s army and doing whatever needed to be done to help defeat the Nazi army. Along with their activities as members of the Resistance, the ten Boom were strong witnesses for their faith in Jesus Christ and when they were betrayed by a fellow Hollander and ended up in concentration camps, it was this faith that enabled them to endure and help others to put their trust in a God who is bigger than any army.
Writer Mario DeMatteo kept the events from the ten Boom’s wartime experiences complete and much seemed to be almost word for word from Corrie’s work. Details that are missing do not detract from the overall tone or importance of the sacrifices made by the whole family. Debut illustrator Ismael Castro’s panels are dynamic and realistic and manage to convey the horror of the concentration camps without being overly graphic. Text states that female prisoners were forced to strip but illustrations do not display nudity. The abuse of guards on prisoners is described and illustrated as are shootings but in a manner that is appropriate for the target age of 10-14. Mention is made of those who were sent to gas chambers and smokestacks are pictured.
School libraries should be aware that the faith of the ten Booms is their motivation for the choices they made and their reliance on Christ is their strength. Scripture is included as well. However, I believe this graphic novel would find an audience in public, school and home libraries among those who enjoy hearing inspirational stories of the heroes during WWII.
Final note: Adult readers should investigate the original Bantam work and teens and adults might enjoy the illustrated, unabridged version from Tyndale House....more
Barbara Dee (Violets Are Blue, Unstuck, Haven Jacobs Saves the Planet) continues to tackle tough scenarios in the lives of young people such depressioBarbara Dee (Violets Are Blue, Unstuck, Haven Jacobs Saves the Planet) continues to tackle tough scenarios in the lives of young people such depression, death, anxiety, climate change and now, in TEAR THIS DOWN, social activism. Freya has always felt supported in speaking her mind on topics that affect her and when a school assignment reveals that Benjamin Wellstone, the town’s much revered hero, is not as perfect as she has always been told. Yes, he opposed slavery and was a key abolitionist during Lincoln’s presidency but his treatment of women and his determination that they “stay in their lane,” tend to the household, have babies and leave voting and decision-making to the menfolk just sets her teeth on edge. With the help of a new friend and a like-minded librarian, Freya sets out to have Wellstone’s town center statue removed. Unfortunately, some of her tactics are less than admirable and her zeal alienates some and results in punitive consequences. Guidance from her parents, grandmother, teacher and more, helps Freya and others find a way to educate the community on not only the full picture of Wellstone but to honor local suffragists who fought for the rights of all women to have a voting voice, giving a much more balanced look at the history of their town.
Middle grade readers will connect to Freya as she tries, and sometimes fails, to affect change. Friendship drama comes into play as well as family dynamics that may resound with those in the target age range. Townspeople are portrayed realistically with positive and negative traits represented in a way that rings true and hopefully, young people will gain a vision of what they could do in their own school and communities.
Text is fear of profanity, sexual content and violence. While Freya’s actions are not always commendable, Dee includes consequences, correction and suggestions for positive actions. Main characters come from diverse families and ethnic groups. Great choice for readers ages 9-12.
In 2021, Freeman’s ALONE was my favorite book of the year and I, like many others, spent much time wondering why everyone had to evacuate that ColoradIn 2021, Freeman’s ALONE was my favorite book of the year and I, like many others, spent much time wondering why everyone had to evacuate that Colorado town where Maddie was left behind to survive on her own. In AWAY, we get our answer and in a 4 way POV with a mixture of NIV, movie script, production diary, letters and newspaper articles. The foursome, Ashanti, Teddy, Grandin and Harmony, come together at an evacuation facility and make some astonishing discoveries. Hard to continue reviewing without giving away the way Megan Freeman decided to round out the story begun in ALONE, but readers will be creating their own explanation as clues are revealed almost making this a mystery-action-adventure. And with so many true to life motivations as well as factors that actually exist in these United States and in its leaders, it is possible to add realistic fiction to its descriptors as well!
Outstanding conclusion and highly recommended for libraries serving grades 4-8. Text is free of profanity, sexual content and violence.
Note: Readers could enjoy this one without having read the early ALONE, but if they then tried to go back to it, the “aloneness” would lose some of its impact. Strongly suggested to read the two books in order…but maybe have both of them close at hand so you can quickly move from one to the other!

As much as I appreciate the way author John Hendrix put his words together in a descriptive manner and his use of figurative and sensory language, it As much as I appreciate the way author John Hendrix put his words together in a descriptive manner and his use of figurative and sensory language, it is his illustrations that make my heart sing! What a combination of the art and the words in this story of the very real but temporary truce between German and British troops for one all too brief day. It was Christmas of 1914, the war was raging and showed no signs of ending but for a few men, it was a time of singing carols, taking photos, exchanging souvenirs and, sadly, burying their dead without fear of bullets whizzing overhead. Front and back matter elaborate on the so-called “Great” War (now called World War II) but little time is spent on causes, more then devastation and the ability of the troops to see beyond their nations’ intentions for a short time.
Excellent non-fiction picture book, likely best for grades 2-5 and shelved in the 900s or a war section rather than in picture books....more

The format for eaExcellent children/middle grade picture book providing readers with a brief look at 15 world class athletes, each with a disability. The format for each biography is the same: a large illustration of the athlete in motion with a two line poem connected to their sport, a 2 or 3 paragraph description of the featured athlete, a daily challenge and a daily joy. Back matter includes a glossary of terms used throughout the text, considerations for language used when discussing those who are disabled, a timeline of the paralympics, bibliography and a look at the debut author in a similar format as the 15 stars of the book.
A JLG Gold Standard Selection as well as the New Voices Award Honor book.

This biography will leave readers not only more informed about the life of a significant pastor, spy, and German citizen but inspired to make a difference in a world that is still marginalizing people despite the lessons we should have learned from history. Powerful book with no profanity or sexual content and appropriate for readers beginning at 5th grade and through adult, although many at the younger end of that broad range may get bogged down in the history part. Highly recommended for school libraries and even more highly recommended for cross-curricular use in history & ELA classrooms.
That’s my “professional” look at Hendrix’s book. From my personal perspective, all I can say is WOW! I kept reading sections to my husband and forcing him to look at the illustrations that augmented the text so perfectly. As I read, I was amazed by the awesome imagery, the way the author seemed to weave Bonhoeffer’s cited quotes and documented comments and actions with suppositions that fleshed out the historical fiction/almost biography in an authentic way. Even the use of a limited color palette was purposeful and impactful. I cannot not recommend this book highly enough and wish I could award it more stars.

Therefore, it is recommended to read them in order when possible.
In this sad-happy heart warming conclusion to Sumner’s trilogy, Ellie and her two best friends Coralee and Bert are in the 8th grade and facing all sorts of change in their lives. Bert is coming off a fantastic summer of an academic camp at Brighton Academy among fellow science nerds and without bullies Cole and Jackson, Coralee is adding new skills to her pageant plans and Ellie’s grandfather’s Alzheimer’s is progressing rapidly, baking is becoming even more important to her future and, between fretting about the first two issues, she is realizing that her feelings about Bert may be leaning towards a new kind of “like.”
What real life is represented in all of Sumner’s books! But watching these friends deal with what life hands them and still keep their friendship strong has been a delight. Ellie tackles everything with the tenacity that enabled her to live a full life while using a wheelchair and dealing with the fragile health of one born with cerebral palsy. Her determination is admirable and may inspire others facing significant circumstances in their own lives. Coralee is joyful, fearless and stands up for herself and her friends. Bert stays true to his passions, supports his friends and chooses to ignore the school bullies. Middle grade readers are sure to connect to at least one in the trio and should prepare for tears at the end.
Highly recommended for libraries serving grades 4-7. Text is free of profanity, sexual content and the bully-violence is not exaggerated or graphic. Representation: step-parents, working middle class, cerebral palsy/use of wheelchair, positive grandparent relationships, Alzheimer’s and its heartaches....more

Each topic lists survival tips mixed with exagHumorous and maybe for some, practical look at surviving everything from lightning strike to avalanche. Each topic lists survival tips mixed with exaggeration, puns, and more to lighten the tone. The author/illustration then add sketches, additional facts about the danger and then end with quizzes that also are a blend of usual fact, not so useful but definitely interesting or just downright hilarious. Appendices include extreme foods from different countries, helpful phrases in a variety of languages that might be used during times of distress plus ways to tell direction that were not included in the star navigation portion of the main body.
Informative, funny book that is set in a large font with extra space between sentences and plenty of illustrations and white space. All combine to make this a book for the eager learner as well as the more reluctant to pick up a book. Highly recommended for grades 3-6 and could easily be added to a display of non-fiction survival books, historical fiction such as the popular I Survived books by Lauren Tarshis plus plenty of survival themed novels such as Philbrick’s survival series, Paulsen’s Hatchet, Just Keep Walking (Downing)and The Long Way Around (Nesbet) for backpacking adventure, etc.

As a lover of day hikes and more challenging backpacking trips, I loved reading of the adventures of siblings 8 year old Amy and 11 yr old Vivian and their 12 year old cousin Owen. All three have unique personalities and the two older cousins are battling their own personal demons while on this trip yet they all work together and not only survive, but further cement their confidence in themselves and each other.
Highly recommended for grades 4-6 and with no mature themes, profanity, sexual content or violence outside of nature, even strong readers in grade 3 will enjoy the non-stop action and the beautiful pictures that are sure to form in their minds of the mountain scenery.
Readalikes: Just Keep Walking (Erin Soderberg Downing), other survival books such as Philbrick’s Wild Wave, Vrabel’s When Giants Burn and older classic Hatchet (Gary Paulsen)

If your younger readers want a graphic novel with manga-esque illustrations but finding ones without profanity or provocative clothing is difficult, tIf your younger readers want a graphic novel with manga-esque illustrations but finding ones without profanity or provocative clothing is difficult, try this series. The team of Mystery Science Detectives consists of two male, 1 female 4th and 5th graders, each with their one unique set of skills. Their school club hoped to solve all sorts of mysteries among the school’s staff and students but they haven’t had much luck attracting clients. But when a fellow student loses an important baseball in the supposedly haunted woods behind the school, the trio is ready to not only find the baseball, but put the rumors about the forest to rest.
The dialogue between the characters is in very simple sentences and, possibly due to translation and/or lack of contractions, is sometimes a bit stilted, but the actions of the mystery-solving youths seem fairly realistic and the periodic puzzles and activities (arranging photos of the woods into one cohesive picture or using moss to grow graffiti on walls) are fun breaks in the story.
Libraries serving grades 2-5 who need more graphic novels and have ample funds might consider this one. No profanity, sexual content or suggestive material, or violence.

Middle grade students tend to be in a constant state of change-new schools, bodies morphing into something completely new, friend groups in constant fMiddle grade students tend to be in a constant state of change-new schools, bodies morphing into something completely new, friend groups in constant flux, interests firming up and so much more. New Yorker Milo is no different. His nearly lifelong excellence at chess does not bring him the singular joy that it once did and the thought of continuing to participate in tournaments fills him with dread. Telling his mother, his greatest supporter, seems impossible so he throws a tournament hoping that will give him time to rediscover his passion for chess or be able to figure out a way to break it to her. The tournament loss removes summer chess camp from his dance card and mom nixes going to an expensive camp with best friend Henry so the duo ends up with a single mom friend of mom’s in New Jersey (Na) and her daughter (Roxie) and a camp for kids at Princeton University.
Author Jessie Janowitz (The Doughnut Fix) moves readers through the intro and gets Milo and his mom to New Jersey without much delay but does set the characters into their niches-Single mom who works hard to support the two emotionally and financially, Grandma Gruth (Grandmother + Ruth = Gruth) who has been Team Milo for his whole life but now lives in Florida with regular communication, and Henry, faithful best friend. Arrival in New Jersey is unsettling and filled with new and unwelcome people, places and food for Milo and coupled with his near panic over his inability to reenter The Zone he used to find in chess, he is downright miserable. A summer camp near fiasco (campers are all preschool to lower elem age and he and Roxie are much older proves to the start of something wonderful with the discovery of an ancient game called Go.
Thoughts-Great characters in Milo, Roxie, Mom, Na and Gruth! Each is unique and could provide great compare/contrast and character study opportunities but if reading for fun, certainly will be visualized accurately. Roxie is not identified as on the spectrum but her difficulty picking up on social cues and struggles with group interactions lean that direction. Both kids were conceived via donor sperm and in vitro and that fact is explained in a kid-friendly, not too biological deep way. Na is a free spirit and is raising Roxie in a “free range” manner while Milo’s mom is much more traditional. Both families are Jewish but neither are very faithful in their observances of their religious heritage. Side character Athena & Dell, who introduce Milo and Roxie to Go are friends but very different and add much to the storyline and even the personalities of some of the young campers are clear and very entertaining.
Recommended for those in grades 5-7 who enjoy realistic fiction, especially if they have an interest in board games. Text is free of profanity, violence and sexual content. Race of characters is ambiguous and no one is pictured on the cover leaving that determination up to readers.

Carlson’s fairy tale is filled with various tropes of the genre but is much more fun; somewhat reminiscent of Liesel Shurtliff’s Rump, Grump, Jack andCarlson’s fairy tale is filled with various tropes of the genre but is much more fun; somewhat reminiscent of Liesel Shurtliff’s Rump, Grump, Jack and Red books. Marigold is the often missed younger princess who is living in the shadow of her so, so good older sister Rosalind who made flowers bloom as she walked and mended broken hearts with her sweetness. Comparisons to her sister has left her convinced that she must be Rosalind’s opposite: wicked instead of good and unneeded instead of cherished. When Rosalind reappears after a more than a decade and begins to spread her goodness and charm once again, Marigold sets out to join with the wicked wizard Torville who lives in a gloomy fortress on the other side of the dreaded wildwood.
The adventures of Marigold while living with Torville are flat out fun—the obvious effort Torville makes to try and convince everyone, including himself, that he is the most wicked wizard ever. Companion imp Pettifog is clearly trying to help Torville maintain the facade of wickedness as well as keep the fortress in tip-top shape. Even the The Thing in the moat provides bits of wicked humor. And all along, despite trying to live up to the wickedness she is certain is her destiny, Marigold keeps revealing that she is just as valuable as Rosalind and, in fact, is just as loved by her royal parents.
Wonderful addition to libraries serving grades 4-6. Text is free of profanity, sexual content and violence is limited to wizard curses that really don’t harm anyone plus the actions of a spoiled iguana and The Thing of the moat.

Best friends Aurora and Frenchie are about to start 6th grade but the powers that be have placed them in two different classrooms which doesn’t work fBest friends Aurora and Frenchie are about to start 6th grade but the powers that be have placed them in two different classrooms which doesn’t work for Aurora at all. Despite the fact that Frenchie is non-verbal and has some behaviors that most find off-putting, Aurora clicked with him and now the two are inseparable. But maybe they can make it work if she walks him to his classroom daily and they spend lunch, recess and out of school time together. Frenchie’s aide has managed to make a connection with him by using a “bird of the day” picture and Aurora is beginning to make friends in her class. But things take a dangerous turn when one day Aurora is distracted and does not walk Frenchie to his classroom and instead of going on his own, Frenchie spots the rare piebald deer that he had seen earlier with Aurora and begins to follow it, feeling certain that Aurora will join him. The entire town begins a desperate search.
Leslie Connor creates such a special friendship between Aurora and Frenchie. Aurora may be loud and a little over-active, but she watches Frenchie carefully and learns what every movement, pose and eye blink means. Their friendship is reflected in the closeness of their parents as well giving readers a warm feeling about them all before Frenchie disappears. That clear warmth between them all and the severity of Frenchie’s neurodivergence’s makes the search much more intense and allows Connor to introduce a number of interesting townspeople playing key roles in the hunt. Great characters.
I loved Connor’s Crunch and Home for Dogs and Goddesses and “Frenchie” is every bit as wonderful. Text is free of profanity, sexual content and violence. Physical descriptions of characters are vague, allowing readers to fill in the blanks in any way they wish. Frenchie lives with a single mom and Aurora’s two parent home includes a younger brother. Highly recommended for libraries serving grades 4-7.
Shakirah Bourne (Nightmare Island, Beware the Heartman) mixes realistic family drama with the lore from the Caribbean islands to create a story sure tShakirah Bourne (Nightmare Island, Beware the Heartman) mixes realistic family drama with the lore from the Caribbean islands to create a story sure to please a variety of students in grades 4-7. Josephine is almost 11, lives with her widowed father and right across the street from her best friend. She’s a pretty good student and a stellar athlete just aching to be allowed to play on the boys cricket team. But when her father starts dating Mariss and it looks to be serious, she sets out to sabotage the relationship and return life to normal. But normal is in her rear view window because Mariss is a sea spirit, released from a silk cotton tree when she carved her initial into it. Once Mariss enters the picture, action and tension seldom ease off until the exciting underwater climax meaning this will be a winner with readers.
Josephine’s personality, the good and the parts that need a little work, is engaging and reflects the hopes and actions of many in the target age group. Best friend Ahkai is a neurodivergent boy who speaks little but supports his friends and family in a variety of ways, even those that put him in danger. I loved the way Josephine’s father works hard to make a welcoming, secure home for his daughter despite having to work long hours and not having other family to help. Miss Mo is my favorite character, though, and made me laugh with all her superstitions and quirky behaviors to keep evil like douens, dubbies and baccoo away from her and those she loves.
Text is free of profanity, sexual content and violence is not excessive. Mariss does move in with Josephine and her father but there are no significant physical details of that arrangement included beyond a few kisses and Josephine being irritated by their physical closeness and a little snuggling on the couch. Dialogue is sprinkled with dialect from Barbados and may give weaker readers pause but rich context should make conversations clear.
Introducing the category of “Pet Wizard,” a person who can bond and commune with animals, some with many species of truly amazing creatures and othersIntroducing the category of “Pet Wizard,” a person who can bond and commune with animals, some with many species of truly amazing creatures and others, like our 7th grade main character, Finch, only a few less exciting animals such as a naked mole rat, a roach and a bat. With his undersized sidekick armed with an oversized book of the collected wisdom of the pet wizards before him, Finch must attempt to bond with a flock of seagulls after accidentally promising a bossy theater student he could have them ready for the big finale scene of her student written, produced musical, starring her. Complicating matters is a crush that Finch has on the handsome Ken Chu, a vengeful (and fired) special effects dude and Erica, a fan of pet wizards who has attached herself to the dynamic duo. Oh, and Finch can’t bond with birds…but that’s surely not a problem.
Adults are going to find this new graphic novel goofy and ridiculous which is exactly why the target age group, likely 4th-6th grade, is likely going to laugh their way through the whole thing. The graphic panels are filled with details to keep them studying the pages time after time and the representations of people have over exaggerated physical traits, an artistic choice that works well.
Text is free of profanity, sexual content and violence. Representation: Finch is interested in Ken Chu who already has a boyfriend (hand holding is the limit of the physical expression of affection), Erica is Black.
