Lila and Hadley
A unique title that touches on experiences not covered in many middle grade books (going blind, mobility training, and dog training), with relatable and engaging characters. For fans of Wendy Mass’s A Mango-Shaped Space and Andy Behrens’s The Fast and the Furriest.

The Conspiracy
Readers who are interested in the Holocaust and the events of World War II will be enthralled by this story. This is a quick but intense read that is sure to leave patrons excited for the next installment in the series.

The Girl and the Witch’s Garden
