Consider the Octopus, silly nautical fun with an eco-twist  

Consider the Octopus was such a wonderful surprise to read. Having finished the book the clues to what adds up to make it fun are shown on the cover. A casual glance at Consider the Octopus has a teen girl and boy on the cover, while a mid-size ship is cruising through an area of the ocean that’s covered with plastic. The book has elements of all of those things, but its result is far more entertaining and fun, than you’re prepared for.

Consider the Octopus is an upper elementary book that puts the fun in fiction, as well as, a side of STEM, crushing and lots of laughs.
A message book that uses comedy and timing to deliver the (fun) punch

Scary Stories for Young Foxes: The City is must-read mglit

Scary Stories for Young Foxes was one of our favorite books from 2020. It crackled with tension and age-appropriate scares in a way that classic books do. Using a storyteller as a means of breaking the dire circumstances that mglit characters encounter can be an awesome and effective way to make things real, but also very relatable. It’s also notable that the book did not immediately feel like it led to another one in a series. That’s what’s so surprising about Scary Stories for Young Foxes: The City.

Scary Stories for Young Foxes: The City is the second book in this series that brilliantly tells the story of fox life from their perspective.
One of the years’ best, in any year
