    From Robin Gow, the award–winning author of Dear Mothman, comes a gripping middle–grade novel in verse about a boy who digs up and loses control of a saber-toothed tiger 
Jasper’s favorite person is his older brother, Callan. They go on fossil–finding missions and stay up late while their parents work nights. Callan even helped Jasper pick out his new name when he came out as trans. 
But Callan starts to grow distant and leaves for college without taking Jasper on a promised fossil dig. Jasper feels abandoned—and angry. Who needs Callan? He will dig by himself, in his backyard. As he digs, he hears a voice: the bones of a saber–toothed tiger. He’s buried deep, and he wants Jasper to DIG. 
Jasper is sure a discovery like this could change the world, or at least get Callan to text him back. But as the saber-toothed tiger finds freedom, Jasper realizes he may have unleashed a monster that no one was ready for, and that anger can empower you—or destroy you.

    BLAST OFF INTO A ROBOTIC ADVENTURE! 
Eleven-year-old inventor Luca Marino's bedroom isn't just messy—it's a playground of half-built gadgets, rogue pizza drones, and a sassy A.I. named Axel Ion who lives in his wristwatch.  
But when Axel yearns to experience the world beyond circuits, Luca takes on his wildest project yet: building Axel a body. Not just any body—a glorious robot crafted from a superhero lunchbox (head), ruler arms (for epic high-fives), skateboard wheels (for chaotic zoomies), and a flashlight heart that glows when Axel tells his very bad jokes. Oh, and glitter. So. Much. Glitter. 
Together, this unlikely duo crashes through laugh-out-loud disasters: pancake batter tornadoes, squirrel showdowns with the grumpy Sir Nutkins, and midnight chases with Bolt, a rusty robot dog with a secret tied to a sinister tech corporation.  
But when Axel's homemade heroics put him in the crosshairs of NexTech—a company bent on erasing free-thinking machines—Luca must risk everything to prove that friendship isn't coded in wires… it's built with duct tape, courage, and a little sparkly chaos. 
Packed with humor, heart, and STEM-fueled creativity, Luca & A.I. The Robot Chronicles is a fun and full of spirit adventure about embracing imperfections, outsmarting bullies (robot and human), and discovering that true heroes come in lunchbox-shaped packages.

    A “must-read for tweens and their parents"" (SLJ, starred review), this funny, feminist, and queer contemporary middle grade debut follows 12-year-old loner Hazel Hill, who after one of her classmates is harassed online, devises a plan to catch the school's golden boy in the act.  
Seventh grader Hazel Hill is too busy for friends. No, really. She needs to focus on winning the school-wide speech competition and beating her nemesis, the popular and smart Ella Quinn, after last year’s embarrassing hyperbole/hyperbowl mishap that cost her first place. 
But when Hazel discovers Ella is being harassed by golden boy Tyler Harris, she has to choose between winning and doing the right thing. No one would believe that a nice boy like Tyler would harass and intimidate a nice girl like Ella, but Hazel knows the truth—and she’s determined to prove it, even if it means risking everything.  
Deeply relatable and surprisingly humorous, Hazel Hill Is Gonna Win This One is a wonderfully empowering story about friendship, finding your voice, and standing up for what you believe in.
