  For fans of Kelly Yang and Rebecca Stead, this touching middle grade novel maps one girl’s quest to remember her grandfather through his scavenger hunts; reconnect with her family; and fight for her community in her rapidly changing hometown. Winner of the APALA Youth Literature Award! 
  Thanks to her Ye-Ye’s epic scavenger hunts, thirteen-year-old Ruby Chu knows San Francisco like the back of her hand. But after his death, she feels lost, and it seems like everyone—from her best friends to her older sister—is abandoning her. 
  After Ruby gets in major trouble at school, her parents decide she has to spend the summer at a local senior center with her grandmother, Nai-Nai, and Nai-Nai’s friends for company. When a new boy from Ruby’s grade, Liam Yeung, starts showing up too, Ruby’s humiliation is complete. 
  But Nai-Nai, her friends, and Liam all surprise Ruby. She finds herself working with Liam, who might not be as annoying as he seems, to help save a historic Chinatown bakery that’s being priced out of the neighborhood. And alongside Nai-Nai, who is keeping a secret that threatens to change everything, Ruby retraces Ye-Ye’s scavenger hunt maps in an attempt to find a way out of her grief—and maybe even find herself.

  "Fort Sumter's Flame: How Secession and Lincoln's Election Lit the Civil War" delves deep into the turbulent months leading up to the American Civil War, when the nation teetered on the edge of destruction. This meticulously researched book traces the chain of events that began with Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, which sent shockwaves through the Southern states, igniting their cries for secession. As tensions escalated, the focus of the nation's turmoil turned to Fort Sumter, a small federal outpost in Charleston Harbor. Here, the first shots of the Civil War were fired, sparking a conflict that would define the nation's future. 
  Authoritative and compelling, "Fort Sumter's Flame" explores the political and social factors that fueled the secessionist movement and brings to life the key figures whose decisions set the stage for war. The book vividly portrays a divided nation where compromise seemed impossible and conflict inevitable. From the bitter debates in Congress to the anxious uncertainty of everyday Americans, this book captures the passion, fear, and resolve that led to the Civil War. 
  Through gripping narratives and insightful analysis, "Fort Sumter's Flame" offers readers a front-row seat to the events that transformed the United States forever. It's an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the origins of America's most devastating conflict and the enduring legacy of the Civil War.
