Brave in the Woods
Holczer’s use of humor, thoughtful imagery, and magical realism elements makes this a wholly unique blend of modern fairy tale, hero’s quest, and coming-of-age story. A suggested purchase for all middle grade collections.

She’s Building a Robot
With a bit more polish, this could serve as a stepping stone to teaching children teamwork and programming skills.
PREMIUM
Pepper’s Rules for Secret Sleuthing
A great modern read-a-like for “Harriet the Spy” and other mystery classics like “Nancy Drew” and the “Hardy Boys.” Hopefully, there will be more adventures from Pepper and her friends in the future.
PREMIUM
The Gryphon’s Lair
An enjoyable follow-up to its rollicking predecessor. Recommended for fans of Rick Riordan and Tamora Pierce.
PREMIUM
Coo
If readers can suspend disbelief that a baby could successfully be rescued and kept alive by a flock of pigeons, they’ll find this a charming tale of a young girl raised in the wild being slowly reintroduced into society in the same vein as Tarzan. Purchase for collections where series with anthropomorphized animals, like Erin Hunter’s “Warriors” or W. Bruce Cameron’s “A Dog’s Purpose,” are popular.
PREMIUM
Emily Windsnap and the Tides of Time
Purchase where the “Emily Windsnap” series has been popular and for collections that need more hi-lo choices for tweens.
PREMIUM
The Princess Who Flew with Dragons
Compelling female characters and an emphasis on self-reliance make this, and the other books in the series, a good choice for those seeking middle grade fantasy with a feminist message.
PREMIUM
Safe Harbour
A unique and educational read that presents a new look at homelessness and mental illness. A must-purchase in areas where homelessness, especially teen homelessness, is a prevalent issue.
