  It's dinnertime at Oskar's house, and his parents have lots of luscious suggestions: chicken skewers? A peanut stew? Maybe he'd like a shrimp ragout? 
    
  But Oskar would prefer something off the menu—he wants to eat his brother! 
    
  Hélène Gaudy's tale is a charming read-aloud packed to the gills with wordplay that's perfect for bedtime. 
    
  "An extremely silly book that is reminiscent of Maurice Sendak … Oskar is a picky eater, but there's no way he could be so picky that he'd only want to eat his brother … right? Young readers will laugh in delight and some will commiserate with Oskar's lack of interest in food, but all will love the rollicking rhyme and the absurdity of the premise!"—Tildy Lutts, Belmont Books

  As a 14-year-old he was Malcolm Little, the president of his class and a top student. At 16 he was hustling tips at a Boston nightclub. In Harlem he was known as Detroit Red, a slick street operator. At 19 he was back in Boston, leading a gang of burglars. At 20 he was in prison. 
    
  It was in prison that Malcolm Little started the journey that would lead him to adopt the name Malcolm X, and there he developed his beliefs about what being Black means in America: beliefs that shook America then, and still shake America today. 
    
  Few men in American history are as controversial or compelling as Malcolm X. In this Coretta Scott King Honor Book, Walter Dean Myers, winner of a Newbery Honor and four-time Coretta Scott King Award winner, portrays Malcolm X as prophet, dealer, convict, troublemaker, revolutionary, and voice of Black militancy.

  People aren't always what they play. 
   
  Twelve-year-old Maren is sure theater camp isn’t for her. Theater camp is for loud, confident, artsy people: people like her older sister, Hadley—the last person Maren wants to think about—and her cinema-obsessed, nonbinary bunkmate,  
  Theo. But when a prank goes wrong, Maren gets drawn into the hunt for a diamond ring that, legend has it, is linked to the camp’s namesake, Charlotte “Charlie” Goodman, a promising director in blacklist-era Hollywood. 
   
  When Maren connects the clues to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, she and her new friends are off searching through lighting booths, orchestra pits, and costume storages, discovering the trail and dodging camp counselors. But they’re not the  
  only ones searching for the ring, and with the growing threat of camp closing forever, they're almost out of time. 
   
  In her compelling debut, Janet Key crafts a heartwarming mystery about finding your people and accepting others as they are.

  Embark on a captivating exploration into the rise and fall of the rich and colourful Maya civilisation with Blue Peter Award winning author David Long. 
  Largely forgotten for centuries, the ancient Maya were incredible. Their cities across Central and South America featured astonishing pyramids and palaces, while they were also successful farmers and highly creative artists. The Maya were the first people in the Americas to learn how to read and write, and they invented things like rubber, chocolate and chewing gum. They had a deep understanding of astronomy, mathematics and timekeeping, though they also had some horrible, bloodthirsty traditions such as making human sacrifices. Find out what life as an Ancient Maya was actually like while also investigating why this mysterious civilisation was close to dying out when the region was conquered by Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century. 
  This book is a captivating journey into the past, revealing the stories and discoveries of the ancient Maya civilisation. It's a must-read for kids and teenagers interested in history, archaeology, and the mysteries of the ancient world. 
  For fans of Joe Todd-Stanton (Everest), Deborah Hopkinson (Evidence!), Jennifer Thermes (The Indestructible Tom Crean), and Matt Goodfellow (Bright Bursts of Colour).
