There is something for developing or striving readers of all ages in these new series.

These history titles seek to attract new readers with unique hooks, tantalizing subjects, and ­entertaining graphics.

These series will spark interest and excitement in readers of all ages, from preschool to high school and beyond.

The featured titles meet readers at their level and, for the most part, do not sanitize the history of countries and cultures that suffered due to colonization.

Students will be engrossed, entertained, and inspired as they delve into fascinating accounts of paranormal proceedings, vivid descriptions of legendary beings, and the exploits of mythic heroes and heroines whose origins are shrouded in the mists of time.

New titles examine weather phenomena, food, seasons, and the natural processes that change the earth. Humanity’s impact on the environment is also a recurring topic, as the main theme of multiple series and as a side note or caveat in others.

This season’s series teach children about citizenship, charity, and kindness. Readers will also learn to study their own emotions, actions, and the important events that impact their everyday lives.

Immigration, racism, LGBTQ rights, the media, and online safety are explained in these titles for younger and older students who love reading nonfiction or need resources for a school project.

This season’s Spanish selections are available for purchase on an à la carte basis. Buyers can purchase what they feel is most relevant to their classrooms and organizations. These titles offer something new for everyone, while helping collection developers stay under budget.
