Genesis Begins Again Judy Blume meets Jacqueline Woodson in this
powerful and sweetly emotional coming-of-age story about finding
your place in the world, from the author of How High the Moon. This
was supposed to be the best year ever for eleven-year-old Stevie
Morrison. But instead, her life seems determined to turn itself
upside down. First of all, her parents can't stop fighting - and
they decide to move the family to a totally new apartment, in a
totally new part of town, which means a totally new middle school
for Stevie. On top of that, her best friend, Jennifer, is acting
weird. She won't return Stevie's phone calls, and apparently her
new best friends are a bunch of mean girls. The final straw comes
with the arrival of Stevie's teenage cousin Naomi - sent down in
disgrace from Boston (though no one will tell Stevie why). But with
Naomi comes an exciting glimpse of a world Stevie hasn't paid much
attention to before: one of Cleopatra Jones movies, women's
liberation and an intriguing-sounding group called the Black
Panthers. It might not be the year Stevie anticipated. But it will
be the one that changes her life forever. Praise for How High the
Moon: "Essential reading, full of voices that must be heard. One of
the best stories I've read in a long while" - Emma Carroll, author
of Letters from the Lighthouse "An impressive debut" - Mail on
Sunday
A humorous new book from the acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke
Yoshitake. Everyone has something that makes them feel
self-conscious. It might be the smell of your breath, the size of
your nose, or the way your shirt sleeves bunch up under your
jumper. At the centre of this story is a little boy who has a small
but embarrassing problem: every time he pees, a few drops dribble
on to his underpants. Curious, he asks other children if they have
the same issue. He soon discovers a simple life lesson: everyone is
battling some kind of irritation.

In this delightfully creepy and unapologetically queer horror romp
of a graphic novel, sometimes dreams do come true. Nightmares are
technically dreams, after all.... When college freshman Kat Fields
receives a mysterious email urging her to visit a relatively
unknown Texas town with a history of witchcraft, strange sightings,
and “devil lightsâ€â€”glowing red stars that appear above the
town’s hills every night—she ditches her plans for spring break
and takes a solo road trip to Estrella Roja to investigate for her
podcast, Paranormal Texas, catchphrase: “Y’all stay spooky!â€
Meanwhile, Marisol “Mari†Castillo, is also headed for Estrella
Roja to attend the funeral for her abuela whom she hasn’t seen
since childhood, when her mom cut ties with the family and left
town. Feeling lost and bored, she decides to help Kat after a
chance meeting at the local diner—and, okay, it doesn’t hurt
that Kat is super cute. As the two girls grow closer not only to
each other, but to uncovering the dark legacy that the town was
built on, they discover that something hungry lurks beneath the
strange stars and that in the hills of Estrella Roja, some secrets
should stay buried.
When people meet Joe, they often treat him as Amazing Joe or Poor
Joe. But can't he just be . . . Joe? One-legged Joe is 'amazing'.
He knows this because wherever he goes people always tell him he's
amazing. Amazing for sliding down the slide, for kicking a ball . .
. even walking to get an ice cream, or even just eating an ice
cream. Of course, being Amazing Joe is better than being Poor Joe .
. . A groundbreaking picture book which explores how we respond to
disability.

The mercurial Judy Moody will delight any kid who's known a bad mood or a bad day--and managed to laugh anyway.
"Judy Moody was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood. A mad-faced mood."
To start, Judy Moody doesn't have high hopes for third grade. Her new desk won't have an armadillo sticker with her name on it. Her new classroom will not have a porcupine named Roger. And with her luck, she'll get stuck sitting in the first row, where Mr. Todd will notice every time she tries to pass a note to her best friend, Rocky. An aspiring doctor, Judy does have a little brother who comes in handy for practicing medicine, a cool new pet, and a huge Band-Aid collection.
Judy also has an abundance of individuality and attitude, and when Mr. Todd assigns a very special class project, she really gets a chance to express herself! Megan McDonald's spirited text and Peter Reynolds's wry illustrations combine in a feisty, funny first chapter book for every kid who has ever felt a little out of sorts.

hardcore heroine of her favourite TV show. But when Maisie and her
mum arrive at the convention centre, she is stopped in her tracks
by Ollie, a cute volunteer working the show. They are kind,
charming, and geek out about nerd culture just as much as Maisie
does. And as the day wears on, Maisie's heart swells with feelings
for Ollie in ways that she's never felt before. Is this what it
feels like to fall in love? Perfect for fans of Heartstopper and
Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me this graphic novel debut is a
fresh, one-of-a-kind story that celebrates the excitement of
meeting someone special for the first time.
