Lupita, a budding actor and poet in a close-knit Mexican American
immigrant family, comes of age as she struggles with adult
responsibilities during her mother's battle with cancer. Young
adult novel in verse.
Once every generation there is a Chosen One, who will stand between
humanity and darkness. But why is the Chosen One so often a
teenager? Why do only children get swept through portals to save
the fantastic world on the other side? Whose idea was it to put the
fate of the world in the hands of someone without a fully developed
prefrontal cortex? In Never Too Old to Save the World, nineteen
authors explore what would happen if the Chosen One were called
midlife. What would happen if the Chosen One were:a soccer moma cat
ladya nosy grandmothera social workera retireean aging swordmaster?
The Chosen One could be anyone— because when the universe calls,
the real question is whether the hero will take up the mantle and
answer their midlife calling. Sometimes the world needs a hero
who's already been in the thick of chaos and survived. In those
cases, age does matter.

Inspired by a terrifying true story, acclaimed author Guadalupe
Garcia McCall creates a twisty tale about a boy desperately trying
to survive in a new town with a secret past. James always knew
moving from Texas to Oregon was going to be horrible.. But no
sooner have he and his family arrived in their "perfect" new home
in their "perfect" new town than he starts getting mysterious
letters from someone called the Keeper. Someone who claims to be
watching him. Someone who is looking for "young blood." James and
his sister, Ava, are obviously in danger. But the problem with
having a history of playing practical jokes is that no one believes
James-not even his parents. Now James and Ava need to figure out
who is sending the letters before they become the next victims in
their neighborhood's long history of missing children. Because one
thing is clear: Uncovering the truth about the Keeper is the only
thing that will keep them alive.
