EARLY READER
By Brian Selznick and David Serlin
Babies are cute. Monkeys are cute. Put those two together with Brian Selznick’s art work and you have a silly and incredibly delightful new beginning reader/ picture book. Each chapter is a new case for Baby Monkey to solve. Hilarious bonus material at the end includes a picture key to Baby Monkey’s office, an index, and a bibliography. Readers of all ages will be shouting, “Hooray for Baby Monkey!”

MIDDLE GRADE
By
Ashley Herring Blake
Ivy Aberdeen's whole life feels like it's falling apart. Her sister seems to have changed, her parents are distracted with a pair of new babies, Ivy is starting to question who she is, and a tornado has just ripped through their town, destroying their home and everything in it. With her life balanced on the shakiest of foundations, Ivy discovers she might be developing a crush on one of her classmates--a girl. This book is for all the kids starting to question their identities and for all their friends who don't quite understand what that feels like.

YOUNG ADULT
By Ashley Woodfolk
Music brought Logan, Shay, and Autumn together at one point, but after a failed performance at a competition, they drift away from one another. A year later, each of them are struggling with the loss of loved ones. Logan turns to alcohol and he can't seem to keep his life together, much less a new band. Shay keeps running--both literally and metaphorically--from her friends. And Autumn is stuck sending messages into the void instead of actually talking to her family. When music tries to pull them together again, they find they have to learn how to move on first.

ADULT
By Lexie Elliott
An idyllic farmhouse in the French countryside. Young, vacationing Oxford students. Murder. A decade later a body is found in the farmhouse well, and the young students, now ten years older and living their lives, some successful, some not, must come to terms with what really happened that one summer night. Excellent murder mystery. Loved it!
