Hawk & Sparrow: The highly-anticipated YA romantic fantasy, set in the sparkling gilded age

"The sumptuous rivals-to-lovers, forced-proximity YA romantic fantasy from the New York Times-bestselling author Ayana Gray, Hawk & Sparrow is perfect for fans of Divine Rivals. A young reporter gets embroiled in a murder investigation and must fake a relationship with a wealthy sorcerer to save her livelihood, and find the truth. In the industrious city of Basalton at the height of the gilded age, highborn families use enchantments to flaunt power and status, while the lower classes dabble in cheap counterfeit enchantments. Seventeen-year-old orphan Vesper doesn't trust magic, or the sorcerers who wield it. Instead, she commits herself to her job as a writer for the Basalton Herald. But when her newspaper finds itself under threat and she happens to witness a murder first-hand, everything changes. Maximilian Kite is not only the heir to one of Basalton’s wealthiest families, he’s also a sorcerer, and one with a bold proposal for Vesper. If she can use her investigative skill to prove his innocence he’ll pay her more money than she's ever seen in her life. Max is everything Vesper despises – but his offer is too good to pass up. And to infiltrate the upper class, Vesper must pretend they are courting. What ever could go wrong?"

America Gives Thanks

"In this stand-alone companion to America's Dreaming, New York Times bestselling author Bob McKinnon crafts a beautiful, sweeping story about the importance of speaking up for what really matters. Have you ever wondered why people complain so much? America is very excited for their class's upcoming field trip to Washington, DC. But when the other kids start complaining about how not excited they are, America is confused. Their teacher, Mr. Downs, uses this as a learning opportunity: sometimes complaining-when done right-can actually be useful. As the class walks through historic halls like the Supreme Court and around the National Mall where they visit celebrated monuments like the Lincoln Memorial, historical figures come alive for America (that portrait of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is definitely winking). Each figure offers tales on how complaining can lead to long-lasting change and hope for a better world. For that, America is so thankful."

Or maybe you're tired of the emotional fine print that comes with saying yes, and you want to say no without losing the friendship. Wherever you are, you're not alone.

She’s dreading having to spend her summer in New York City with her Aunt Monica, even though she used to love it. But things are just different after her father passed away. Without him, nothing about her world feels the same. Things start to get a little better when Rowan brings her dad’s old camera to Central Park to take pictures.

When she gets closer to it, she trips and falls through the portal, and after she lands, she finds herself in a different world: Seneca Village, where Black people with magical abilities seem to live in the past, in a time without phones or electricity. At first, Rowan thinks it must be a dream, but the more time she spends in the village with her new friend Lily, the more she wants it to be real. But outsiders aren’t even supposed to be able to find Seneca. Rowan and Lily aren’t sure how Rowan was able to see the portal, but they suspect it might have something to do with the girl who normally guards the portal having gone missing. As Rowan and Lily search for clues to help find the missing girl and uncover the truth of the portal’s magic, Rowan begins to realize what secrets this village might be hiding, and how the events of the past still linger in the present day.
