This gorgeous picture book--winner of the Pura Belpré Illustrator Honor and American Indian Youth Literature Award Picture Book Honor--celebrates the circles that surround us, in the sky, the earth, our neighborhoods, ourselves ... if we just dare to look for them.

Grandpa says circles are all around us. He points to the rainbow that rises high in the sky after a thundercloud has come. "Can you see" That's only half the circle. The rest of it is down below, in the earth." He and his granddaughter meditate on gardens and seeds, on circles seen and unseen, inside and outside us, on where our bodies come from and where they return to. They share and create family traditions in this stunning exploration of the cycles of life and nature.

This award-winning, mind-bending, heart-opening book marked the impressive debut of Xelena González and Adriana M. Garcia as picture book creators.

Who stabbed Frank Slaughter?

Thorne Swift is the biggest piece of undeveloped lakefront real estate in Harbor Springs-seventeen acres of pristine woods, ponds, creeks, and swamps with over a thousand feet of shoreline on Lake Michigan. It's a nature preserve, but a real estate developer wants to turn it into million-dollar homes.

It's also home to the lady's slipper, a beautiful pink and white orchid shaped like a moccasin at the heart of an Ojibwe legend.

Burr Lafayette, recently divorced, is the deposed head of the litigation department of a major Detroit law firm. A man at loose ends, he's a brilliant but troubled lawyer. He prefers boats over courtrooms, dogs over clients, and martinis over just about everything else.

Burr also likes Thorne Swift the way it is. He goes to court and argues that the lady's slipper is endangered and Thorne Swift can't be developed.

But when Frank Slaughter, the caretaker at Thorne Swift, is found face down in the swamp, stabbed in the eye, Burr finds himself knee-deep in murder.

Sexy new adult romance meets swashbuckling adventure when ex childhood friends Paige and Seb reconnect to finally track down the treasure that has been a legend in their small Michigan beach town for decades. Perfect for fans of The Goonies and Netflix's Outer Banks who are craving more romance!

Star pupil Paige Malone just finished her first year at Harvard. Dropout Seb Jansen spent that time pumping gas for wealthy yacht owners at a Lake Michigan marina. They haven't seen each other since high school. A shame, considering that they were once inseparable childhood friends who combed their coastal hometown's sun-kissed beaches along with a couple of other middle-school pals--hunting the Golden Venus, a legendary local treasure that's distantly connected to Paige's family.

A treasure rumored to be worth millions of dollars. If it even exists.

These days, however, the former BFFs have traded adventure for reality. Paige is home for the summer and is spiraling after losing her college financial aid. While across town, Seb fell in with a bad crowd and now regrets his life choices, big time. Both feel colossally stuck. And alone.

But when Paige stumbles upon a hidden secret in her grandmother's beach cottage, she must get their old treasure-hunting gang back together to finally unravel the mystery that has eluded her family for generations. Who knows: the thrill of the hunt might help Paige and Seb find a path back to their lost friendship...or something more.

The Summer of Lost Things brings the summer heat with its combination of a high stakes treasure hunt and a swoony love story.

Based on the true story of an illegal women's clinic at the center of a high-profile trial in 1940s Chicago and the nurse who risked her safety and freedom to work there, a thought-provoking, powerfully timely novel of courage, sisterhood, and women's healthcare for readers of Kristin Hannah, Kerri Maher, and Audrey Blake.

In the fall of 1939, while Europe grapples with the outbreak of war, Mimi Lukas wages a private battle in her Chicago neighborhood. Her husband, Stan, once a promising White Sox player, has been sidelined by a broken leg. His hopes of returning to baseball are dwindling along with their savings. As Stan sinks into inertia, Mimi resolves to go back to nursing.

When a friend tells her of a women's clinic in need of a nurse, Mimi hesitates. Such places are illegal and at odds with her religious upbringing. But Dr. Gabler's office isn't the dingy establishment Mimi envisioned. The space is clean, bright, and welcoming, the staff skillful. Patients are treated with dignity and compassion, even as they are sworn to secrecy about what happens within its walls.

The patients, too, are not who Mimi expected. Some are heartbreakingly young. Most are married, and many already have children. Police and state prosecutors are paid handsomely to turn a blind eye. As Mimi finds kinship with her colleagues and with an officer on retainer, she begins her own private reckoning between what is legal and what is necessary, no matter how painful or inconvenient.

But Mimi senses the tide turning against them. She knows, too, that soon she must decide how much she will risk to defend the ideals she's come to embrace through hard-won experience . . .

Poignant and insightful, here is a story of courage and empathy, as timeless as it is timely.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants meets Mexikid in this heart-warming novel with illustrations about four friends and the magical bookstore that holds them together.

Cat, Sofia, Ana, and Mari are best friends. Nothing, nada, can break their bond. When Cat's mom scolds them for their loud cackling at the bookstore, calling them a bunch of chismosas, the name sticks. Cat creates the The Chismosas Only Book Club, giving the girls a way to stay connected as they begin high school.

But ninth grade is hard, and it seems like no amount of conchas y libros y risas at Milagro's Books, founded generations ago by Cat's great-great-great-grandmother, can repair the ever-growing cracks in their friendship. But maybe the spirit of Milagro herself can . . .

Brimming with whimsy and heart, and woven with black-and-white graphic novel chapters, this enchanting book celebrates the magic of friendship, the embrace of ancestors, and the power of stories to hold us together.

What happens when a normal girl meets one of the world's biggest stars, just as her relationship is tested in a way she can't come back from?

"Just because I'm strong enough to handle pain, doesn't mean I deserve it," Audrey Gibson often told herself, though her actions proved that even she didn't know her own worth.

Audrey Gibson was just three days shy of turning twenty-two years old when her boyfriend, Sean, came in from out of town after being on tour for months with superstar Antwan Jared. Audrey resented the music industry, which drove a wedge between her and Sean, a boy she'd been in love with all of her life.

A hard day's work as a manager at a shoe store leads to Audrey finally meeting Antwan Jared face-to-face. The rebellious, handsome superstar offers Audrey the chance of a lifetime--to compete for a songwriter position that had just opened at Instinctive Entertainment.

After discovering that Sean may be cheating on her with her sister, she decides to confront the two and accepts Antwan's offer, showcasing her skills as not only a writer but also a singer at a club. From the moment Antwan met Audrey, he knew she was someone he wanted to have around. Her intentions were to piss Sean off, while Antwan's intentions were to win her over, despite the fact that she had a man.

The performance changes Audrey's life forever, forcing not only Audrey but everyone else in her life to confront their past.

In this graphic novel retelling of an Indigenous Mexican tale, demigod twins must use their magic of song to rescue their father and uncle from the perilous Land of the Dead. A supreme middle-grade adventure!

In the age when Maya demigods prepared the world for humans, two of those demigods, twins Hunahpu and Xbalanke, are given a mission by their mother: rescue their father and uncle from Xibalba, the Land of the Dead.

The twins follow the same deadly path into Xibalba where their father and uncle are imprisoned by royalty. They must use all their cleverness, including their magic of song and connection to the animals, to outwit the denizens of the Realm of Fright: mosquitos, macaws, fireflies, and more come to the twins' aid as they spend nights in fright and days playing ball with royalty.

But sometimes, even wit cannot save a demigod. Sometimes, there is a Magic Primeval that has even bigger plans for heroes such as these twins.

Adapted from author David Bowles's retellings and translations of essential pre-Columbian texts like the Popol Vuh, the Tales of the Feathered Serpent series brings Indigenous Mesoamerican stories alive for young readers!
