Is Abby getting closer to finding the true murderer? Or is someone leading her down a twisted false path? 
   
  “The Deadly Sister is riddled with red herrings and told by an unreliable narrator, which make the surprise ending all the more shocking. Well-drawn characters, realistic dialogue, and suspenseful twists and turns add to the appeal. Teens crave mystery, and this book will suit them just fine.” —School Library Journal (starred review) 
   
  “The page-turning action and the potent relationship between the two sisters will keep teens’ attention right up to the final confession.” —Booklist 
   
  “Let me tell you, The Deadly Sister was so creepily good, I would rather you read it yourself . . . Eliot Schrefer is the author of another thrillingly creepy book—and serious page-turner—The School for Dangerous Girls. The Deadly Sister is a great follow-up and a perfect read-alike.” —ThisGrrlReads 
   
  “The Deadly Sister is a perfect summer thriller.” —TeensReadToo

  A gross and giggle-inducing take on the classic children’s song with “sly humor and a bit of the unexpected presented with bold art” (School Library Journal).   There was an old lady who swallowed a fly . . . Young readers will love hearing about the fly and all the other creepy-crawly bugs the old lady gulps down in this fanciful feast. With a taste for slugs, the old lady enjoys a poached roach, a squirmy worm, a wiggly spider, and more during the course of the tale. And a surprise ending reveals that this isn’t just any old lady. Accompanied by Johnette Downing’s signature colorful collage illustrations, this good and gross tale pops off the page with its fun, musical language and whimsical look at the insect food chain.   “Johnette Downing has done it again . . . Another entertaining read for young ones.” —Baton Rouge Advocate   “As an enthusiast of fractured tales and a big fan of Johnette’s songs and stories, I give Johnette’s new book a big ten thumbs up. Her funny and surprising version gives a new twist to an old favorite. It is ‘kidtastic!’” —Ann L. Davis, head of children’s services, Napa City-County Library, Napa, California

  Irl

  IRL is a sweaty summertime poem composed like a long text message, rooted in the epic tradition of A.R. Ammons, ancient Kumeyaay Bird Songs, and Beyoncé’s visual albums. It follows Teebs, a reservation-born, queer NDN weirdo, trying to figure out his impulses/desires/history in the midst of Brooklyn rooftops, privacy in the age of the Internet, street harassment, suicide, boys boys boys, literature, colonialism, religion, leaving one's 20s, and a love/hate relationship with English. He’s plagued by an indecision, unsure of which obsessions, attractions, and impulses are essentially his, and which are the result of Christian conversion, hetero-patriarchal/colonialist white supremacy, homophobia, Bacardi, gummy candy, and not getting laid.IRL asks, what happens to a modern, queer indigenous person a few generations after his ancestors were alienated from their language, their religion, and their history? Teebs feels compelled towards “boys, burgers, booze”, though he begins to suspect there is perhaps a more ancient goddess calling to him behind art, behind music, behind poetry.
