Memorial Award Honor * Reha feels torn between two worlds: school,
where she’s the only Indian American student, and home, with her
family’s traditions and holidays. But Reha’s parents don’t
understand why she’s conflicted—they only notice when Reha
doesn’t meet their strict expectations. Reha feels disconnected
from her mother, or Amma. Although their names are linked—Reha
means “star” and Punam means “moon”—they are a universe
apart. Then Reha finds out that her Amma is sick. Really sick.
Reha, who dreams of becoming a doctor even though she can’t
stomach the sight of blood, is determined to make her Amma well
again. She’ll be the perfect daughter, if it means saving her
Amma’s life. From Indies Introduce author Rajani LaRocca comes a
radiant story about the ties that bind and how to go on in the face
of unthinkable loss. This is the perfect next read for fans of
Jasmine Warga and Thanhh Lại.
A tender, beautifully illustrated story about a girl in America and
her grandmother in India, whose love stretches between languages
and cultures - and across the world. When Jyoti visits her
grandmother halfway around the world, she is overwhelmed by the
differences between India and home. At first she feels lonely and
out of place, but soon, despite a language barrier, she and Sita
Pati are able to understand each other. They form a bond - looking
at books together, making designs with coloured sand, shopping at
the market, playing games, eating chapatis and sipping warm milk
with saffron to bring sweet dreams. When it's time to part, Jyoti
doesn't want to leave, but then she remembers that in Tamil, people
don't say goodbye, they say "I'll go and come back." Sure enough,
the two reunite the next summer when Pati visits Jyoti in America,
and it's Jyoti's turn to make her grandmother feel welcome. Can
they create some special memories that will last until the next
time they see each other?

Rajani LaRocca, recipient of a Newbery Honor and Walter Award for
Red, White, and Whole, is back with an evocative novel in verse
about identical twin sisters who do everything together--until
external pressures threaten to break them apart. Maya is the
pragmatic twin, but her secret anxiety threatens to overwhelm her.
Chaya is the outgoing twin. When she sees her beloved sister
suffering, she wants to tell their parents--which makes Maya feel
completely betrayed. With Maya shutting her out, Chaya makes a
dramatic change to give her twin the space she seems to need. But
that's the last thing Maya wants, and the girls just drift further
apart. The once-close sisters can't seem to find their rhythm, so
they make a bet: they'll switch places at their summer camp, and
whoever can keep the ruse going longer will get to decide where
they both attend high school--the source of frequent arguments. But
stepping into each other's shoes comes with its own difficulties,
and the girls don't know how they're going to make it. This
emotional, lyrical story will speak to fans of Ali Benjamin, Padma
