ADVERSARY WITH UNPARALLELED POWER. Tony Stark wants Carol to keep
an eye on brilliant grad student Mara Melamed, who is struggling to
find her feet at Empire State University. Although reluctant at
first, Carol meets Mara and is soon impressed by the young woman.
But trouble quickly finds Captain Marvel in the form of a

closest friends has been framed for murder. And Mara Melamed is at
the tangled center of it all. Carol is driven to her darkest edge
as she questions her identity and sense of belonging in the world.
With her allies at her side, Carol must face her self-doubt and
protect the world from impending doom.

From the New York Times bestselling authors of I'm Not Dying with
You Tonight comes a story about friendship, privilege, sports, and
protest. With a rocky start to senior year, cheerleaders and
lifelong best friends Eleanor and Chanel have a lot on their minds.
Eleanor is still in physical therapy months after a serious
concussion from a failed cheer stunt. Chanel starts making
questionable decisions to deal with the mounting pressure of
college applications. But they have each other's backs-just as
always, until Eleanor's new relationship with star quarterback
Three starts a rift between them. Then, the cheer squad decides to
take a knee at the season's first football game, and what seemed
like a positive show of solidarity suddenly shines a national

Hate U Give. An NAACP Image Award Nominee, I'm Not Dying with You
Tonight follows two teen girls-one black, one white-who have to
confront their own assumptions about racial inequality as they rely
on each other to get through the violent race riot that has set
their city on fire with civil unrest. Lena has her killer style,
her awesome boyfriend, and a plan. She knows she's going to make it
big. Campbell, on the other hand, is just trying to keep her head
down and get through the year at her new school. When both girls
attend the Friday-night football game, what neither expects is for
everything to descend into sudden mass chaos. Chaos born from
violence and hate. Chaos that unexpectedly throws them together.
They aren't friends. They hardly understand the other's point of
view. But none of that matters when the city is up in flames, and
they only have each other to rely on if they're going to survive
the night. This book is perfect for:Sparking conversations about
prejudice and the racial tension that exists in AmericaParents and
educators looking for multicultural and African American books for
teensFans of Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, and Jason ReynoldsAdditional
