  Miguel Rosado wants nothing more than to see and draw the world … or at least anywhere beyond the four walls of his family’s bodega in Washington Heights.  
   
  Too bad his mami and papi have him working long hours after school, hoping he’ll appreciate the sacrifices they’ve made to keep the store afloat. For street-savvy and newly adopted cat Lolo, that sounds just perfect if it means he’s far, far away from the hungry, lonely nights he once spent in the freezing-cold outdoors. 
   
  But when Miguel ditches his responsibilities and lies to his parents about joining art club, his dream of juggling it all comes crashing down. Lolo will have to decide if he’s willing to be there for his new friend Miguel through anything—even venturing back into the frightful and busy New York City sidewalks. Can they trust each other enough to take on this adventure together? 
   
  “A warm tale that embraces, sings, purrs, and never lets go! Bodega Cats reminds us home is wherever a friend can be found!”—Julian Randall, author of Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa

  Rose O’Neal Greenhow: The Life...

  Given the necessity of spies to hide in plain sight, on some level it is perfectly sensible that women played a larger and more decisive role in espionage operations, because during the Civil War, women were not taken seriously as threats. They openly moved through areas that men in uniform could not easily penetrate, and they were able to publicly receive callers, visit prisoners, manage households, carry on the ordinary commerce of social life, and cross lines that military authorities maintained without bringing any attention upon themselves. A woman bringing food and medicine to prisoners seemed to be a humanitarian, not a security concern, and a woman maintaining the social routines of an established household was a hostess, not an intelligence coordinator. Ironically, both sides used several women as spies precisely because they drew less suspicion, yet neither the Union nor Confederates took potential women spies seriously enough.  
  	At the start of the war, the most formidable of these women on either side of the conflict was a Washington widow named Rose O'Neal Greenhow. She was perfectly situated for espionage as a politically connected woman of extraordinary intelligence who had social reach and the desire to use every connection she had on behalf of a cause she believed in absolutely. In the first year of the war alone, she helped win a battle, ran a spy ring from inside her own house while under house arrest, and charmed her jailers in ways that allowed her to continue to pass intelligence from prison. She was exiled to the Confederacy rather than tried, because the government that arrested her recognized, rightly, that trying her in open court would be an embarrassment. She lobbied Jefferson Davis directly, and then she crossed the Atlantic and met Napoleon III and Queen Victoria as an unofficial Confederate envoy. She published a memoir in London that sold thousands of copies and made her case to the European audience her government desperately needed.

  In this charming retelling of the classic picaresque story, Pinocchio is a puppet who comes to life, a rascally character who has one adventure after another. Of course, being the curious, yet naive boy that he is, all these events lead him into a series of misfortunes all of his own doing. But in the end, his last adventure redeems him, and he becomes what he has always wished to be, a real living boy with his father Geppetto.
