Pardalita is a gently queer coming of age story about a sixteen year old Portuguese girl and her friends and family. The illustration plays like a storyboard for a French art film. Lovely and heartfelt and relatable.

Comment:
In this heartfelt novel, Nigeria comes to terms with her mother’s death and the expectations of her father. This is a great read and one that would fit in the category of “new adult” as well as YA. The interspersed lyrical prose to the outstanding supporting ext makes this an easy pick and an obvious Zoboi novel. I fell in love with her narration in “American Street” and am delighted to see her getting her due in the 2024 YMA.In this heartfelt novel, Nigeria comes to terms with her mother’s death and the expectations of her father.

Fabulous title educating, telling the stories of those who suffered, and highlighting an event that our country does not like to speak about.

Give this to: Kids too young for Ghost Boys by Rhodes, young advanced readers, older readers with gentle spirits that are not ready for the realities of what Black kids went through during the worst days of the Civil Rights movement ramping up. With the Emmett Till movie on the horizon, this is a great way to have the discussions with a 2-5th grade student, but is accessible for struggling older reader's as well. I anticipate this being read in classrooms in the near future as there are many areas for discussion and themes that would make great study units. This would also be a great choice for a family road trip audiobook as it is 128 pages long, and has a good narrator!Give this to: Kids too young for Ghost Boys by Rhodes, young advanced readers, older readers with gentle spirits that are not ready for the realities of what Black kids went through during the worst days of the Civil Rights movement ramping up.

Fun magical system and world building, with an extremely diverse character group. This is an obvious recommendation for any fans of magical academy books and has a few tricks up its sleeve. I look forward to the next installment.

It was not my cup of tea, but fans of magical realism and Tae Keller will find plenty in this book about the effects of bullying on kids. The interest in aliens reminded me of the craze in the 1990's with X-Files and the like.

This is the perfect book for readers who love a good spooky story with a dash of mystery and historical fiction. The author usually writes spooky YA stories but decided to grace us with a middle grade read about Ophie who can communicate with ghosts. She uses her ability to solve a disappearance. Fabulous storytelling and just the right amount of spookiness.This is the perfect book for readers who love a good spooky story with a dash of mystery and historical fiction.
