  Birkett's Twelfth Corpse - The...

  August Derleth

  For forty years, Fred Birkett and Hank Room have competed along the Wisconsin River, racing currents and each other to recover the drowned. What began as rough rivalry has hardened into something darker, and when a young man vanishes beneath the water one July night, both old rivermen know the count will change before sunrise. 
  Birkett has always treated his strange luck as a joke. Room has never laughed. As lanterns swing across the black water and boats spread downstream, one of them claims victory too soon. In the quiet stretch near Hiney’s Slough, pride gives way to violence, and a single blow alters more than the score. By the time the searchers gather again, the river holds more than it should, and a desperate lie begins to unravel in the dark. 
  This is not a tale of mystery in the usual sense. It is a story about men who let resentment grow unchecked until it becomes action. The Wisconsin River moves swiftly, but not swiftly enough to hide everything. When the shouting starts downstream and then stops too suddenly, the searchers row toward a silence that feels wrong. What they find in the shadowed water will settle the rivalry forever, but not in the way either man planned. 
  August Derleth built his reputation on stories steeped in atmosphere and moral consequence. A founder of Arkham House and a close associate of H. P. Lovecraft, Derleth wrote detective fiction, regional tales, and supernatural stories that often carried a sharp sting at the end. “Birkett’s Twelfth Corpse” shows another side of his craft—lean, brutal, and grounded in river mud rather than cosmic horror. Even without ancient gods or forbidden tomes, Derleth proves he knows how to build dread from human weakness alone.

  From National Book Award–winning author Kathryn Erskine comes a heartfelt, poignant novel that tackles grief, change, and the struggle to let your voice be heard. Perfect for fans of Lynda Mullaly Hunt, Erin Entrada Kelly, and Ali Benjamin.  
  Shy, eleven-year-old Lily made her dad an important promise before he passed away—that she would “Strive for Five” and speak her mind at least five times. But speaking up one time, let alone five, is easier said than done. It’ll be even harder now that Lily must attend public school for the first time. Fortunately, she meets curling-obsessed Hobart and quiet Dunya at the beginning of sixth grade. Their kindness gives Lily hope that life without Dad might just be bearable.  
  But when Lily and her friends are bullied by Ryan and his mean clique, she quickly discovers the true meaning of friendship and speaking out. Despite the anxiety she feels, Lily knows she needs to stand up for herself and others. And she’ll use the tools her dad gave her to not only keep her final promise but bring her whole school together.  
  Following Lily’s journey and the snarky, insightful, and humorous commentary from Libro, the actual book, who guides readers through this thoughtful tale, makes Lily’s Promise a strong title for social emotional learning.
