Fifteen years ago, Jeannie and Mark were close friends. Fourteen years ago, Mark became Jeannie's rapist. This year, Jeannie interviewed Mark, and she wrote it all down with startling insight and incredible poise. THINGS WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT is extremely compelling and extremely difficult, a remarkable exploration of psychology, language, and gender. Highly recommended.

After Sophie's boyfriend tells her she's not "fun," her ultra-huge family decides to help her out--by setting her up on ten back-to-back blind dates. As Sophie moves on (and reconnects with her cousins in the process), her ex starts to take notice...and so does the cute boy next door. A super sweet, cozy read that's perfect for the holidays!

In many science fiction stories, there are a lot of reasons why an alien invasion might be particularly scary. The aliens might not understand or speak human languages, or they might look really weird and foreign, or they might be invading a society of affluent white people who have no idea what it’s like to have their power stripped away (or at least, that’s who’s telling the story). In THE LESSON, the aliens look and speak just like us. And the invaded people, the St. Thomians of the US Virgin Islands, know what exactly invasion feels like—they’ve been through plenty of takeovers throughout the island’s history. What results is a unique take on the invasion story, where the invader feels terribly familiar. The thrills here come, in part, from just how acutely we can see our own reflections in this otherworldly force that has the power to save humanity—or devastate it—on a whim.

Jack is my favorite new bad guy. He's deliciously bad, with big eyes that will melt your heart on one page...but it's all a trick, because on the next page, his eyes narrow, and he's drawing on the wall! You'll fall in love with this little monster.

This book is pure celebration--of movement, family, friendship, being yourself, and dancing like no one's watching. In her joyous watercolor illustrations, Thyra Heder brings the freedom of dance to the page with effortless style. After reading this, you'll want to MOVE!
