  A Native American "city kid" explores the idea of belonging and "who came first" after a surprising encounter with a country bear, from the award-winning author of Fry Bread.Every year, Aabanya visits her grandfather Big Jimmy at his cottage on Early Mountain. During the day, they gather corn, beans, and squash to make stew.  In the evenings, Aabanya listens to her grandfather’s tales of the mountain and of Turtle Island. When they venture into town, Aabanya feels out of place. The Earlies, a family who named Early Mountain generations ago, seem to look at her with questions in their eyes. Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you here? Her grandfather tells Aabanya that these are the very same questions her family and their people asked when the Earlies first came. One night, Aabanya wakes to a scratch at her window and discovers... a bear! Fearful, she runs to her grandfather, who helps her remember that the bears… are the ones who came before.Interwoven with indigenous concepts about land and the natural world, Fry Bread author Kevin Maillard’s thought-provoking story and artist Sibu T. P.’s rich, vibrant illustrations come together in this contemplation of heritage, ancestry, sharing space, and belonging.

  In these hilarious stories by some of the top authors of middle grade fiction today, each young character is coping with a minor superpower—while also discovering their power to change themselves and their community, find their voice, and celebrate what makes them unique. 
  Everyone knows that superheroes are supposed to have awesome powers like strength or invisibility or flight. But what happens when you’re a mostly regular kid . . . who’s just a little bit super? 
  In these hilarious and thought-provoking stories from today’s top middle grade authors, a group of kids are each coping with a recently discovered minor superpower. One can shape-shift—but only part of her body, and only on Mondays. Another can always tell when an avocado is perfectly ripe. One can even hear the thoughts of animals in the pet store—which can be about as heart-tugging as you might imagine. It’s hard enough to be in middle school even without some weird ability, but these kids not only find their way to owning their unique powers and potential, they use them to change things for the better . . . and getting there with them is half the fun! 
  These playful tales prompt readers to consider what their own superpower might be, and how they can use it. 
  ""Award-winning contributors keep delightfully inclusive and accomplished company in this emotionally grounded, compassionate collection. . . . These are not your run-of-the-mill, cape-and-tights-clad superheroes. These are kids with relatable struggles learning to embrace that quirky bit of themselves that makes them unique."" —ALA Booklist (starred review)

  As a Doomsday prepper, he's ready to survive the apocalypse. But what about the men hunting him?
   
  
   
  It turns out Addison was right: The world as he knew it did come to an end by means of a killer virus.
   
  
   
  He’s by himself now, near what was Sicily, Oklahoma, tending to a wilted vegetable garden, foraging for rabbits, and eking out not quite enough water from a dried-up well. It’s time to move. Uncle Izzy, whom he’s decided to seek out in his survivalist cabin hundreds of miles away, had prepared him well for an apocalypse - all but for the loneliness.
   
  
   
  The plan is simple. Gun. Bow. Bike. Go.
   
  
   
  If he could just make it across the state, then maybe...
   
  
   
  But the virus didn’t quite kill everybody. And humanity isn't all that humane anymore.
   
  
   
  Ransacked and run-down, Addison learns all too quickly that hope is the enemy and trust is a liability. Survival has its costs.
   
  
   
  In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man might be king, but in the land of the dead, he’s bait.
   
  
   
  The literary bleakness of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road meets the survivalist thrills of Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet in this harrowing novel from Joshua V. Scher. Now a motion picture from Shout! Studios and 1157 Productions, out August 17, 2021.
