A Good Kind of Trouble

Lisa Moore Ramée

From debut author Lisa Moore Ramée comes this funny and big-hearted debut middle grade novel about friendship, family, and standing up for what’s right, perfect for fans of Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give and the novels of Renée Watson and Jason Reynolds.
Twelve-year-old Shayla is allergic to trouble. All she wants to do is to follow the rules. (Oh, and she’d also like to make it through seventh grade with her best friendships intact, learn to run track, and have a cute boy see past her giant forehead.)
But in junior high, it’s like all the rules have changed. Now she’s suddenly questioning who her best friends are and some people at school are saying she’s not black enough. Wait, what?
Shay’s sister, Hana, is involved in Black Lives Matter, but Shay doesn't think that's for her. After experiencing a powerful protest, though, Shay decides some rules are worth breaking. She starts wearing an armband to school in support of the Black Lives movement. Soon everyone is taking sides. And she is given an ultimatum.
Shay is scared to do the wrong thing (and even more scared to do the right thing), but if she doesn't face her fear, she'll be forever tripping over the next hurdle. Now that’s trouble, for real.
""Tensions are high over the trial of a police officer who shot an unarmed Black man. When the officer is set free, and Shay goes with her family to a silent protest, she starts to see that some trouble is worth making."" (Publishers Weekly, ""An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List"")

The Secret of the Old Clock

Carolyn Keene

The Secret of the Old Clock marks the first appearance of Nancy Drew and establishes a model of investigative fiction centered on curiosity, intelligence, and moral clarity. When a mysterious will disappears, Nancy follows a trail of overlooked details, hidden documents, and quiet contradictions that lead far beyond the confines of polite society.

The novel presents detection as a form of initiation. Observation, patience, and reasoning replace force, and order is restored through method rather than authority. The mystery unfolds at a measured pace, grounded in domestic spaces, inheritance, and trust.

Clear, structured, and enduring, The Secret of the Old Clock remains a foundational work of twentieth-century popular fiction, defining the detective story as a discipline of attention and resolve.
