​Publishers Weekly reviewed The Beetle by Richard Marsh

Picture
Marsh creates an eerie atmosphere by keeping his story’s supernaturalism tantalizingly ambiguous.

School Library Journal reviewed What Kind of Girl by Alyssa Sheinmel

Picture
Fans of Jennifer Mathieu’s Moxie and Kathleen Glasgow’s Girl in Pieces will enjoy this multiple points-of-view novel for the highly relevant subject matter, including domestic violence, self-harm, eating disorders, and mental illness. Recommended for purchase for its diverse characters and timely topics.

School Library Journal reviewed The Last Witness by Claire McFall

Picture
A page-turning tale with just the right amount of creepiness for readers who enjoy suspense and dark evildoing. Give to fans of horror and psychological thrillers.

Publishers Weekly reviewed Belle Revolte by Linsey Miller

Picture
[Miller’s] protagonists’ awareness of privilege and desire to challenge the status quo shines through. LGBTQ representation—including gay, trans, and nonbinary characters (Annette identifies as asexual biromantic)—further widens this tale’s appeal.

Foreword Reviews reviewed What Kind of Girl by Alyssa Sheinmel

Picture
Inspiring…What Kind of Girl bears testament to the resilience of teenagers’ spirits and the galvanizing power of friendship.

Kirkus Reviews reviewed All The Way to The Top by Annette Bay Pimentel, illustrated by Nabi H. Ali

Picture
A necessary testament to the power of children's voices.

​School Library Journal reviewed Jinxed by Amy McCulloch

Picture
An enjoyable read.

​School Library Journal reviewed Hollow Dolls by MarcyKate Connolly

Picture
This fantasy covers a lot of ground—suspense, friendship, bravery, family, and magic. Plot twists will surprise even readers paying close attention…A recommended purchase.

Booklist reviewed The Secret of White Stone Gate by Julia Noble

Picture
​Readers who enjoyed The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane (2019) will want to know what happens next.

Kirkus Reviews reviewed Trees Make Perfect Pets by Paul Czajak, illustrated by Cathy Gendron

Picture
Takes tree-hugging—and standing up for yourself—to a new level.

Publishers Weekly reviewed Whiteout by Adriana Anders

Picture
Anders strikes an impressive balance between romance and page-turning suspense. Readers who crave high-stakes action mixed in with their romance will be taken by this consistently surprising adventure.
