Synopsis

In "Little Prudy's Dotty Dimple," Sophie May crafts a charming narrative that captures the whimsical adventures of a young girl, Dotty Dimple, whose playful spirit and imaginative escapades provide a lens into childhood innocence and joy. The book is steeped in the literary tradition of late 19th-century children's literature, marked by its didactic undertones and rich character development. May employs a conversational style, peppered with vivid descriptions and relatable dialogue, which invites readers into a world of wonder while subtly imparting moral lessons pertinent to young readers of her time. Sophie May, a prominent figure in children's literature, was deeply influenced by her own experiences as a mother and her keen observations of youthful behavior. Her keen understanding of children's emotions and social interactions resonates throughout her works, allowing her to convey timeless themes of friendship, family, and the trials of growing up. May's background as an educator further informs her ability to blend entertainment with education in a manner that captivates her audience. This enchanting book is highly recommended for both children and adults seeking nostalgic reflections on the simplicity and joy of childhood. May's storytelling not only entertains but also provides invaluable insights into the values of love and compassion, making "Little Prudy's Dotty Dimple" a delightful addition to any literary collection.

Unsinkable Cayenne

Jessica Vitalis

2025 NCTE Notable Verse Novel
“Intensely readable.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
When her unconventional parents finally agree to settle down in one place, twelve-year-old Cayenne’s dreams come true—but the reality of fitting in is much harder than she imagined. Acclaimed author Jessica Vitalis crafts an unforgettable historical novel-in-verse about belonging, family, and social class, for fans of Lisa Fipps’s Starfish and Jasmine Warga’s Other Words for Home.
As Cayenne enters seventh grade, her parents decide it's time to stop living in their van, roaming from place to place. Cayenne hopes that this means she will finally belong somewhere and make some friends. But it turns out that staying in one place isn’t easy at all.
When her social studies class studies the Titanic tragedy (the wreckage has just been discovered and her teacher is obsessed), Cayenne sees more and more parallels between the social strata of the infamous ship and her own life. Will she ever squeeze her way into the popular girls’ clique, even though they live in fancy houses on the hill and she lives in a tiny, rundown home with chickens in the front yard? Is it possible that the boy she likes actually likes her back? Can she find a way to make room for herself in this town? Does she really want to? Maybe being “normal” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Set in the mid-1980s, this literary novel is for readers of Megan E. Freeman’s Alone and Erin Entrada Kelly’s We Dream of Space.

Over The Wall - The Stasi Spy...

Davis Truman

Through meticulous research and compelling analysis, this book unravels the insidious politicization of intelligence under Ulbricht's regime. Witness accounts clash with Stasi reports, revealing a stark disparity between the reality of East German sentiments and the distorted narrative peddled to the politburo. As labor unrest simmered beneath the surface, the regime's reliance on manipulated intelligence proved catastrophic. 
The narrative climaxes with the June 17, 1953 uprising - a pivotal moment in East German history. Amidst the enthusiasm of a million citizens rising against oppression, the fragility of Ulbricht's regime is laid bare. "Over the Wall" lays bare the extent of Ulbricht's manipulation and its profound impact on the tumultuous events of 1953, offering a chilling reminder of the dangers of wielding truth as a weapon.
