This the fascinating true story of a feral child found in the mountains of France in the early 1800s. Losure brings emotional heft to a story that asks all readers--kids and adults alike--that essential question: What does it mean to be human?

Atmospheric, haunting, and deeply moving. This is a story perfect for chilly evenings in the sad heart of winter.

A staggeringly good musical, highly accessible, infinitely fascinating. Who knew that hip-hop could fuse so perfectly with the life of Alexander Hamilton? (Lin-Manuel Miranda, that's who.)

An exquisitely written book, Anna and the Swallow Man is the story of an orphaned girl coming of age in Nazi-era Poland with an unlikely companion. Fans of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief should snatch this one up.

In a re-imagined modern day London, there's a ghost epidemic, one that can only be kept at bay by psychic children. Stroud gives his young readers a great deal of credit via strong characters and pithy writing. The audio performance is excellent.

Don't start this fantasy unless you have a lot of time on your hands. You won't want to put it down. Beautifully imagined with well-developed characters, this is a metaphorically rich exploration of feminine power.
