Punk rock loving JJ Pankowski can't seem to fit in at his new
school in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as one of the only white kids. Pie
Velez, a math and history geek by day and graffiti artist by night,
is eager to follow in his idol Jean-Michel Basquiat's footsteps.
The boys stumble into an unlikely friendship, swapping notes on
their love of music and art, which sees them through a difficult
semester at school and at home. But a run-in with the cops
threatens to unravel it all. Moonwalking is a stunning exploration
of class, cross-racial friendships, and two boys' search for
belonging in a city that is as tumultuous and beautiful as their
hearts.
The witches are ready to go to war, but Jax and his friends are
still searching for a path to peace. . . . In the epic series
finale of Dragons in a Bag, friends and foes must unite to defeat
the mighty Scourge before it drains all magic from the world. Jaxon
could never have imagined the adventure that would start
with an old witch called Ma and three baby dragons
shipped to Brooklyn. Ever since he returned the dragons to
the magical realm of Palmara, Jax has searched for a way for humans
and magical creatures to live in harmony. But despite his efforts,
an ancient monster has been released. The Scourge has defeated the
powerful Guardian of Palmara and set its sights on the human realm.
It takes just one stray spark to ignite a war. With the Scourge now
free to move between realms, the witches are preparing for battle.
Can Jax and his friends put the flames out before it's too late? Or
will magic disappear from the world forever?

Books of the Year In this powerful, affirming poem by award-winning
author Zetta Elliott, a Black child explores his shifting emotions
throughout the year. There is a place inside of me a space deep
down inside of me where all my feelings hide. Summertime is filled
with joy--skateboarding and playing basketball--until his community
is deeply wounded by a police shooting. As fall turns to winter and
then spring, fear grows into anger, then pride and peace. In her
stunning debut, illustrator Noa Denmon articulates the depth and
nuances of a child's experiences following a police
shooting--through grief and protests, healing and community--with
washes of color as vibrant as his words. Here is a groundbreaking
narrative that can help all readers--children and adults
alike--talk about the feelings hiding deep inside each of us.
Forgive and be forgiven. It sounds so appealing-why doesn't it
happen every day? Finding herself forgiven on a rain-scrubbed
morning after a difficult day, Melena seizes her fresh start and
shares the song in her heart with her family and friends. It's a
day of new beginnings. It's Melena's jubilee. This story introduces
children to the concept of jubilee, which stresses the important
principles of debt relief, generosity and forgiveness. Aaron Boyd's
mixed-media illustrations are as bright and vivid as a sun-washed
day.
At breakfast she learns she has been given a "fresh start," and she
decides to celebrate by doing things differently for the rest of
the day. Melena chooses not to fight with her brother, and shares
the money she has rather than demanding to be repaid by a less
fortunate friend. This story introduces children to the concept of
jubilee, which stresses the important principles of debt relief,
generosity, and forgiveness. Aaron Boyd's mixed-media illustrations
are as bright and vivid as a sun-washed day. Fountas & Pinnell

an award-winning author--with two starred reviews!
When Jaxon is sent to spend the day with a mean old lady his mother
calls Ma, he finds out she's not his grandmother--but she is a witch!
She needs his help delivering baby dragons to a magical world where
they'll be safe. There are two rules when it comes to the dragons:
don't let them out of the bag and don't feed them anything sweet.
Before he knows it, Jax and his friends Vikram and Kavita have broken
both rules! Will Jax get the baby dragons delivered safe and sound? Or
will they be lost in Brooklyn forever?
