Lifeboat 12
This stirring novel-in-verse based on a true story is an edge-of-your-seat survival tale, an extensively researched work of historical fiction, and an exemplar of the form.
Peasprout Chen, Future Legend of Skate and Sword
The topless fight scene moves this book solidly into the do-not-purchase column, which is unfortunate because it might otherwise have found a home where high-octane action and adventure tales are appreciated.
Knockout
This character-driven narrative should be an easy sell, especially where House Arrest was popular; fans of thoughtful sports novels-in-verse (e.g. Kwame Alexander's The Crossover) will likely enjoy this as well.
Rabbit & Possum
In a field where tales of animal friends helping one another overcome difficulties are thick on the ground, this one is probably an additional purchase at best.
The Elephant Keeper: Caring for Orphaned Elephants in Zambia
Although the informational content is too sparse for report purposes, this volume would be perfect for introducing a unit on elephants or conservation and is a recommended purchase.
Better Off Undead
This uproarious middle grade call to action has considerable kid appeal and a timely message. A strong addition to school and public library collections.
