Crossing Over

Stacy Davidowitz

There’s only one thing Melman loves more than soccer: her summers at Camp Rolling Hills. So she’s pumped to be back—until she realizes that her bunkmates have gone totally boy-crazy over the school year and want to plaster their cabin in pink. Pink posters, pink T-shirts … it seems the only not-pink thing in the cabin is Melman herself. That is, until she’s given a dare in front of the entire camp: wear a pink princess dress. For Three. Whole. Days. 
 
Steinberg’s summer gets off to a rough start, too, when his robot (usually his area of expertise) blows up during a camp-wide robotics contest. Steinberg might feel like a loser at home, but camp’s supposed to be his place to shine.  
 
Steinberg without robots? Melman in pink? The whole summer feels turned upside down! To set things right, Steinberg and Melman team up and hatch a failproof plan. The plan’s secret ingredient? Hamburgers. 
 
“Funny and sweet. It brought me back to those amazing summer camp summers.”—Michael Showalter, co-writer of Wet Hot American Summer

The Boy Who Followed His Father...

Jeremy Dronfield

This powerful, moving middle grade adaptation of the adult international bestselling narrative nonfiction book The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz shines a light on the true story of two brothers who experienced the atrocities of the Holocaust in very different ways. 
Fritz Kleinmann was fourteen when the Nazis took over Vienna. Kurt, his little brother, was eight. Under Hitler’s brutal regime, their Austrian-Jewish family of six was cruelly torn apart. 
Taken to Buchenwald concentration camp, Fritz and his Papa, Gustav, underwent hard labor and starvation. Meanwhile, Kurt made the difficult voyage, all alone, to America, to escape the war. 
When Papa was ordered to the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp, Fritz—desperate not to lose his beloved father—insisted he must go too. Together, they endured countless atrocities to survive. 
Jeremy Dronfield authentically and accurately captures this family tale of bravery, love, hope, and survival with the help of extensive research and primary sources like Gustav’s diary and interviews with family members.  
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

100 Rules for Better Living -...

Claire Donnelly

Most lives are a series of reactive impulses, masquerading as choices. You wake, you respond to the digital noise at your bedside, and you surrender the first hours of your day to the agendas of others. This is not living; it is merely drifting. Your time, attention, and energy are finite assets, yet you likely treat them as inexhaustible commodities.
 

 
100 Rules for Better Living is a technical manual for high-performance living. It provides a cognitive architecture designed to strip away the structural noise of modern existence so you can operate with absolute, lethal clarity. 
 

 
Over these pages, you will dismantle the habits that keep you tethered to mediocrity. You will learn to:
 
- Govern your attention and insulate your focus.
 
- Engineer your environment for optimal output.
 
- Master decision frameworks to stop drifting.
 
- Implement financial and relationship intentionality.
 

 
Success is rarely the result of a single, monumental pivot. It is the cumulative effect of one hundred precise, calibrated adjustments. This book provides the levers you need to shift your trajectory from reactive drift to intentional execution.

In the past year, Hasani has learned she’s a witch, been accepted by Les Belles Demoiselles, and formed her own coven—and her YouTube followers for her makeup channel are growing every day. Now that she’s in eighth grade, she’s ready to rule the school with all her witch powers and best friends by her side. 
 
But frenemy LaToya is still at Riverbend Middle causing trouble, both magically and socially. LaToya’s determined to befriend every single possible witch at school (and turn them against Hasani), and Hasani can’t help but wonder if she’s got another scheme going. Witches aren’t supposed to interfere in each other’s business—but what if LaToya is going to hurt someone? Or herself? 
 
Hasani and her friends Dee, Angelique, and Luz have to figure out for themselves when it’s right to let things lie—and when it’s their responsibility to stand up for their community.
