Who Gives a Poop? Surprising Science from One End to the Other by Heather L. Montgomery, illustrated by Iris Gottlieb

Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer

FromNew York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes a blockbuster fantasy series about a kingdom divided by corruption, the prince desperately holding it together, and the girl who will risk everything to bring it crashing down.

Once More with Chutzpah by Haley Neil

An intensely readable and moving YA debut about a teen who grapples with questions of her Jewish identity, mental health, and sexuality on an unforgettable trip to Israel.

When high school senior Tally and her twin brother Max head off on an exchange trip to Israel over their winter break, Tally thinks it will be a good distraction for Max; he might be trying to hide it, but she knows he's still struggling in the wake of a car crash that injured him and killed the driver. Maybe this will help him get back on track and apply to college the way he and Tally always planned.

But as the group travels across the country, Tally realizes her plan might not be working, and that her brother might not be the only one with a lot on his mind.

Escaping Eleven by Jerri Chisholm

In Compound Eleven, the hierarchy of the floors is everything.

My name is Eve Hamilton, and on my floor, we fight.

Which at least is better than the bottom floor, where they toil away in misery. Only the top floor has any ease in this harsh world; they rule from their gilded offices.

Because four generations ago, Earth was rendered uninhabitable - the sun too hot, the land too barren. Those who remained were forced underground. While not a perfect life down here, I've learned to survive as a fighter.

Except my latest match is different. Instead of someone from the circuit, my opponent is a mysterious boy from the top floor. And the look in his eyes tells me he's different. . . maybe even kind.

Entangled Right before he kicks my ass.

A Face for Picasso Coming of Age with Crouzon Syndrome by Ariel Henley

I am ugly. There's a mathematical equation to prove it.

African Proverbs for All Ages by Johnnetta Betsch Cole and Nelda LaTeef, illustrated by Nelda LaTeef

An Oprah Book about the power of proverbs, how they evolve over time, and the wisdom of various cultures in Africa.

It has been said that a proverb is a short sentence based on long experience.

Whether you are young or old, proverbs can open your mind to a whole new way of seeing the world. We underestimate children when we assume they are incapable of understanding metaphor and deeper meaning. There are multiple ways that children learn, but for each method by which they learn, they need their imagination engaged and their visual sensibilities ignited. And as adults, we underestimate ourselves when we allow our lives to be about practical matters only. Proverbs can stir our soul and spark our imagination. -- Johnnetta Betsch Cole, Ph.D. President Emerita of Spelman and Bennett Colleges

Bad Girls Never Say Die by Jennifer Mathieu

From the acclaimed author ofMoxie comes a gripping gender-flipped reimagining ofThe Outsidersthat explores the deep bonds of female friendship and what it takes to be a bad girl."

1964. Houston, Texas.

Evie Barnes is a bad girl. So are all her friends. They're the sort who wear bold makeup, laugh too loud, and run around with boys. Most of all, they protect their own against the world. So when Evie is saved from the unimaginable by a good girl from the "right" side of the tracks, every rule she's always lived by is called into question. Now she must redefine what it means to be a bad girl and rethink everything she knew about loyalty.

In this riveting story of murder, secrets, and tragedy, Jennifer Mathieu reimagines S. E. Hinton'sThe Outsiders from a female perspective.Bad Girls Never Say Diehas all the drama and heartache of that teen classic, but with a Roaring Brook feminist take just right for our times.
