The Team are on a high. They have just won the Superstars Record
for the most unbeaten matches. It's one of the oldest records in
the league. The problem is, the record is jinxed.
Based on Haida artist Robert Davidson's own experiences with Tsinii
(his grandfather), this tender story highlights intergenerational
knowledge and authentic learning experiences. Off the northern tip
of Haida Gwaii, a boy goes fishing with Tsinii, his grandfather. As
they watch the weather, jig for halibut, and row with the tides,
the boy realizes there's more to learn from Tsinii than how to
catch a fish. Written by the creators of Potlatch as Pedagogy, this
book brings the Sk'ad'a Principles to life through the art of
Janine Gibbons.

After solving the case of Truly Devious, Stevie Bell investigates
her first mystery outside of Ellingham Academy in this
spine-chilling and hilarious stand-alone mystery from New York
Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson. Amateur sleuth Stevie
Bell needs a good murder. After catching a killer at her high
school, she's back at home for a normal (that means boring) summer.
But then she gets a message from the owner of Sunny Pines, formerly
known as Camp Wonder Falls-the site of the notorious unsolved case,
the Box in the Woods Murders. Back in 1978, four camp counselors
were killed in the woods outside of the town of Barlow Corners,
their bodies left in a gruesome display. The new owner offers
Stevie an invitation: Come to the camp and help him work on a true
crime podcast about the case. Stevie agrees, as long as she can
bring along her friends from Ellingham Academy. Nothing sounds
better than a summer spent together, investigating old murders. But
something evil still lurks in Barlow Corners. When Stevie opens the
lid on this long-dormant case, she gets much more than she
bargained for. The Box in the Woods will make room for more
victims. This time, Stevie may not make it out alive. *
