  People aren't always what they play. 
   
  Twelve-year-old Maren is sure theater camp isn’t for her. Theater camp is for loud, confident, artsy people: people like her older sister, Hadley—the last person Maren wants to think about—and her cinema-obsessed, nonbinary bunkmate,  
  Theo. But when a prank goes wrong, Maren gets drawn into the hunt for a diamond ring that, legend has it, is linked to the camp’s namesake, Charlotte “Charlie” Goodman, a promising director in blacklist-era Hollywood. 
   
  When Maren connects the clues to Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, she and her new friends are off searching through lighting booths, orchestra pits, and costume storages, discovering the trail and dodging camp counselors. But they’re not the  
  only ones searching for the ring, and with the growing threat of camp closing forever, they're almost out of time. 
   
  In her compelling debut, Janet Key crafts a heartwarming mystery about finding your people and accepting others as they are.

How will he dress in order to feel like himself? This hilarious story in verse is about the joys of dressing up, and one bear's search for his own identity. A delightful listen, full of character and humour.

  Mamiachi & Me is a lyrical and empowering picture book written by Jolene and Dakota Gutiérrez about what it means to be a mariachi in an all‑female band. 
  Today’s the day! Rosa will take the stage next to her mami and play along with her popular mariachi band. But as they fasten the shiny botonaduras and tie the moños on their charra suits, Rosa begins to worry. What if the audience doesn’t like her? Is she ready to perform? 
  With her “mamiachi” and madrinas by her side, Rosa’s stage fright is soothed away by the sound of trumpets, guitars, and violins. Centering on the power of sisterhood, community, and music, the warm and lively text by mother-and-son writing duo Jolene and Dakota Gutiérrez provides a unique perspective to the male-dominated world of mariachi. Back matter includes additional context on the history of the beloved Mexican tradition and the rise of all-female mariachi groups, as well as a fun, detailed look at a mariachi’s signature charro suit! 
  "A heartfelt testament to the power of family and culture and the courage to find one’s voice."—Kirkus Reviews
