Garlic and the Vampire is Bree Paulsen's debut middle-grade graphic novel about the tiniest of vegetables with the biggest of hearts. At the center of our story is Garlic, a lovable protagonist who struggles with anxiety and self-confidence around their peers. When Garlic is chosen by their fellow vegetable folk to confront the new vampire in town, they must learn to face their fears and never judge a vampire by his teeth. While it is written for a middle grade reader, Garlic and the Vampire is relatable for everyone –– not to mention the absolutely gorgeous art! I loved this debut and can't wait to sell it.

Gosh, I love everything Taylor Jenkins Reid writes. "Malibu Rising" is the story of four siblings, the estranged children of world-famous rockstar, Mick Riva. The novel takes place over the course of one day, leading up to Nina Riva's huge annual party in her Malibu cliffside mansion. While, yes, it's a fun beach read, it also examines generational trauma and found family. For fans of "Daisy Jones and the Six" and "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" there are enough easter eggs in "Malibu Rising" to fill your basket. I had a wonderful time reading this book and I know it will be a Summer must-read.
