  "A ­triumphant coming-of-age story about gender identity, strength, and friendship, 
  as well as the different ways that people ­discover who they are." 
  —School Library Journal, starred review 
   
  A moving middle-grade novel in verse, about a young trans boy dealing with the loss of his friend by writing to his favorite cryptid, Mothman 
   
  Halfway through sixth grade, Noah’s best friend and the only other trans boy in his school, Lewis, passed away in a car accident. Lewis was adventurous and curious, always bringing a new paranormal story to share with Noah. Together they daydreamed about cryptids and shared discovering their genders and names. After his death, lonely and yearning for someone who could understand him like Lewis once did, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels and also looking for evidence of Mothman’s existence in the vast woods surrounding his small Poconos town. Noah becomes determined to make his science fair project about Mothman, despite his teachers and parents urging him to make a project about something “real.” 
   
  Meanwhile, as Noah tries to find Mothman, Noah also starts to make friends with a group of girls in his grade, Hanna, Molly, and Alice, with whom he’d been friendly, but never close to. Now, they welcome him, and he starts to open up to each of them, especially Hanna, who Noah has a crush on. But as strange things start to happen and Noah becomes sure of Mothman’s existence, his parents and teachers don’t believe him. Noah decides it’s up to him to risk everything, trek into the woods, and find Mothman himself.

  The companion to Crossing the Stream is a moving story of friendship and a timely reminder of our duty to nature. 
   
  I am an Asafo,  
  and today I do make 
  a solemn promise for  
  Mother Earth’s sake. 
   
  Ato and his best friends Dzifa and Leslie are finally heading to Nnoma, the sanctuary that Ato’s father helped build. They are eager to become Asafo, protectors of the natural world, but Ato also hopes to find a valuable plan hidden by his father to defend Nnoma against “enemy storms.” 
   
  When the trio arrives—along with dozens of children from across West Africa—they meet Eyra, the mysterious but magnetic owner of the sanctuary, as well as Nnoma’s Guardians, who work alongside her. They are then split into teams and must compete in missions that broaden their knowledge and appreciation of nature. The top-scoring teams will become Asafo. 
   
  But there is a secret on the island, and when Eyra starts behaving erratically, Ato suspects foul play. He, Dzifa, Leslie, and their teammate Hafsat must work together quickly to protect Nnoma—and Ato’s father’s legacy. 
   
  Flying Up the Mountain is a propulsive and deeply moving story about how we interact with the world around us: how we love and care for our friends, how weprotect and nurture our environment, and how we safeguard empowering legacies for generations to come.

  American Civil War in 1864 The:...

  Editors Charles River

  Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since.  
  	By the close of 1864, Abraham Lincoln had been reelected, the Union army had taken Nashville from General Hood, and Sherman had concluded his total war, “slash-and-burn” march of destruction to Savannah, Georgia, offering it as a Christmas present to Lincoln. Nevertheless, with everything seemingly falling to pieces, the South still held out hope of some sort of miracle, and Davis even attempted to send a peace delegation to meet with Lincoln in the early months of 1865. On January 28, 1865 as Union General Ulysses S. Grant was continuing to lay siege to Lee’s army at Petersburg, Virginia, Davis sent three commissioners headed by Vice-President Stephens to initiate informal peace talks with Lincoln. By February 3, however, the talks, known as the Hampton Roads Conference, came to a stalemate as Lincoln would accept nothing less than total union, while Davis would only accept Southern independence.  
  	Even at that point, the South was clearly on its last legs. General George H. Thomas destroyed John Bell Hood’s Confederate army at the battles of Nashville and Franklin, leaving only two large Confederate armies still in the field. Lee's army was weakened by desertion, lack of supplies and casualties, and Joseph E. Johnston’s army could barely resist against Sherman’s army as it was advancing north toward Virginia.

  Fiasol never gives up

  Fíasól is a ten-year-old fixer. And more than that—she’s the head of her own Rescue Squad. Ingó is special advisor to the squad. He’s two years older than Fíasól, but that doesn’t matter. They’re the best of best friends. Even so, Ingó will sometimes say things like: “You’ll get it one day, Fíasól, when you’re my age.” 
  	Fíasól lives in a little room—The Nook, she calls it—in a house on a street called Green Lane in a town called Grassville. She lives with her mom and dad. She also lives with her sister Bidda, who is a seventeen-year-old mirror connoisseur. Bidda owns thirty-seven mirrors that hang all over her room. The mirrors are long and skinny, short and wide, gilded with gold-leaf and adorned with pearls. There are mirrors fitted with magnifying glasses and mirrors with little lights on them. All day, she inspects herself in her mirrors, applying color and sweeping brushes across her face like the most accomplished of painters. Coach Lolli is often in Bidda’s room, too, but then, she locks the door.  
  	Fíasól also lives with her sister Pippa. Pippa is a thirteen-year-old book junkie. She can read while walking, eating—even biking and swinging. That’s not very safe, though. A lot has changed on Green Lane. But Fíasól always has plenty to do. That hasn’t changed at all.  
  	“I really have way too much to do,” she says. “The Rescue Squad puts a lot of stress on me—it’s an awful lot of work. Which is why I don’t have time to pick up my room. When I don’t have anything left to do, I’ll pick up.” 
  	Bidda says that Lolli isn’t her boyfriend. She says he’s just a friend who is helping with her homework. 
  	“You know, that’s strange,” says Dad. “Peculiar that you need so much help with your homework all of a sudden.” 
  	“They hold hands,” murmurs Pippa, looking up from the book she’s reading with her mouth full during dinner. “I’ve seen them when they’re getting off the bus.”
