PREMIUM
Riverbound
Although there is sufficient exposition of prior events, this title is best enjoyed after reading the first book. Recommended for middle grade fantasy collections and where Heartseeker is popular.
The Tragical Tale of Birdie Bloom
Recommended for filling out fantasy collections with a light, not-too-scary offering.
Operation Frog Effect
A hopeful, if somewhat predictable, story about students trying to resolve problems large and small.
The Similars
Try Marisha Pessl's Neverworld Wake for a more nuanced boarding school drama with a sci-fi twist.
Inky's Amazing Escape: How a Very Smart Octopus Found His Way Home
Montgomery's expertise and the gorgeous illustrations make this a fine purchase for libraries serving early elementary students.
Contagion
A strong pick for readers seeking a fast-paced story with capable female protagonists, limited gore, and an emphasis on survival rather than romance.
Fania's Heart
An additional purchase, perhaps of special interest to those with access to the Montreal Holocaust Museum.
The Nantucket Sea Monster: A Fake News Story
This title discusses the issue of fake news in an age-appropriate way while avoiding politics; most useful in a classroom setting, perhaps in conjunction with Melissa Sweet's Balloons Over Broadway.
