Bard is a great player, but he's painfully shy. So shy that it's taken him months to tell his teammates that he goes by his last name, not his first. He thought he'd finally found his people on this esports team! Now, though, the other founders are opening up the group to new competitors, and Bard's not sure he likes it.

He's about to return to gaming alone when an unexpected new friendship helps him adjust to his new teammates, manage a brewing problem at home, and bring his best for the team in its biggest competition yet.

Leveling Up features all-new games and an important subplot about mental health.

A joyous picture book from an exciting debut author touches on gender identity in a warmhearted celebration of individuality.

In a "castle" on the hill lives a happy family: the king, the queen, and their child, Pete. Pete likes a lot of different things: wearing red trousers or flowery dresses, experimenting with makeup, and going outside in the mud. Playing sports, drawing pictures, and making music; running races and dressing up; playing with the boys and playing with the girls--Pete's days are filled with laughter, creativity, and friendship. Some people are confused and ask, "Are you a girl or a boy?" But Pete is just Pete, and they are loved just as they are. A story of acceptance and childhood joy, energetically illustrated with colorful scenes and whimsical details, Princess Pete stands alongside titles such as Julián Is a Mermaid as it encourages readers to be wholly themselves.

An uplifting celebration of familial love and support through the generations

Caregiving flows through a little girl's family in so many ways, like a river connecting them all.

Her mother helps her grandmother get ready for the day, just as her grandmother once helped her mother. And when the relatives send packages to each other, their caring makes them feel closer. Through occasions big and small, it's a comfort to know this river of love is ever-present, and her family will always be there for each other.

Jocelyn Chung's evocative text and Sarah Gonzales' gorgeous pictures remind us that our family's love is a gift to be treasured.

One night can change everything in this hilarious and heartfelt novel perfect for young teens about to start high school. Perfect for former fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

It's no secret that Jensen Chapman is a coward (though he prefers the term 'risk averse'). He's scared of dodgeball day in gym class, intimidated by his older sister (she's weirdly strong, alright?), nervous around his crush Leslie Chen, and freaked out about starting high school...just to name a few things. But on the night before his eighth-grade graduation, that's all about to change.

When Jensen's two best friends, Maleek and Cooper, show up to kidnap him (OK, recruit him) to compete against a group of girls-including Leslie Chen herself-in a series of escalating dares, Jensen knows it's now or never: face his fears once and for all, or face a life of spinelessness forever. The boys set out on an epic race against the clock that includes faulty skateboards, internet-famous ferrets, and a stolen golf cart. But when Jensen finds out that Maleek and Cooper have been keeping a huge secret from him, he'll need every scrap of his newfound bravery to save their friendship.

So begins her mission to prove that there is more to language than what can be found in a dictionary. After all, her mami's words are full of love and memory--what could be more magical than that?

Twelve-year-old Zuzu Santos doesn't want a robot. She and her best friends, otherwise known as "the Valleycats," would rather explore Bright Valley on their own. But then Zuzu meets Snap, a know-it-all guardian robot with a limited battery life and an abundance of hope. A gripping, stand-alone, thematically rich survival story by two-time Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly, for fans of The Wild Robot and A Rover's Story.

Bright Valley Subsidized Camp #5 is not a perfect place to live. It's dusty, there are no trees to provide respite from the beating sun, the trailers are falling apart, and the water supply is heavily rationed. But to twelve-year-old Zuzu Santos and her three best friends, Bright Valley is home.

When Zuzu's dad loses his job at Lockwood, the corporation that controls everything from rations to education, he isn't given money or food or water as severance, but a dated, first-generation robot. They do not provide a working charging station. Zuzu names the robot Snap, and he soon becomes part of the Bright Valley family. But Snap's battery is dwindling every day, and though Snap is prepared for his inevitable reset, Zuzu isn't. She would do whatever it takes to keep Snap alive. The problem is, Snap would do the same for Zuzu and her friends, no matter the cost.

Erin Entrada Kelly tells a moving story of friendship and family, rich with themes and characters that will resonate with readers. The Second Life of Snap is a futuristic book for middle graders that is grounded, full of heart and humor, and unforgettable. An excellent choice for fans of The Wild Robot, A Rover's Story, and Erin Entrada Kelly's own We Dream of Space.
