May 1917: The elegant streets of Boston are thousands of miles away from the carnage of the Western Front. Yet…
even here, amid the clatter of horse-drawn carriages and automobiles, it is impossible to ignore the war raging across Europe. Emma Lewis Swan's husband, Tom, has gone to France, eager to do his duty as a surgeon. Emma, a sculptress, has stayed behind, pursuing her art despite being dismissed by male critics. On the bustling sidewalk she spies a returned soldier. His brutally scarred face inspires first pity, and then something more-a determination to use her skill to make masks for disfigured soldiers. Leaving Boston for France also means leaving behind Linton Bower, a fiery, gifted artist determined to win her. Emma's union with Tom has been steady yet passionless, marred by guilt over a choice she made long ago. In Paris, she crafts intricate, lifelike masks to restore these wounded men to the world. But in the course of her new career she will encounter one man who compels her to confront the secret she's never revealed, not even to Tom. Only by casting off the façade she has worn for so long can she pursue a path through heartbreak and turmoil toward her own unexpected future

Return to Shadow School for the second installment of the spooky middle-grade series from J. A. White, the acclaimed author…
of Nightbooks and The Thickety series. Cordelia Liu's first year at Shadow School was a success. She studied hard and made friends. She also sent hundreds of ghosts into the afterlife, because Shadow School isn't a normal school, and Cordelia Liu isn't a normal girl. But her second year is already different. Ghosts are refusing to move on, the teachers are acting weird, and Cordelia's best friends, Benji and Agnes, aren't as interested in rescuing the ghosts as they used to be. Benji is busy hanging out with the girl he befriended over the summer, while Agnes spends all her time building a machine that might be capable of dehaunting the school forever. Cordelia is the only one who believes that something sinister is happening right under their noses. But what if it's even worse than she could imagine? Praise for Shadow School #1 Archimancy: "Just the right balance of humor, mystery, and scariness. Readers will be eager to see more of this smart and spunky trio in further spooky adventures." —Kirkus "The story balances the spookier elements with the humorous and difficult going-ons of middle school. An easy quick pick for a just creepy enough read."—BCCB "A well-paced thriller. Tension builds to a crescendo, and the ending promises more adventures to come for Cordelia and her friends."—Booklist

Eleven-year-old Izzy feels as though her whole world is shifting, and she doesn't like it. She wants her dad to…
act like he did before he was deployed to Afghanistan. She wants her mom to live with them at the marina where they've moved instead of spending all her time on Block Island. Most of all, she wants Piper, Zelda, and herself—the Sea Stars—to stay best friends as they start sixth grade in a new school. Everything changes when Izzy's father invites his former interpreter's family, including eleven-year-old Sitara, to move into the marina's upstairs apartment. Izzy doesn't know what to make of Sitara, with her hijab and refusal to eat cafeteria food, and her presence disrupts the Sea Stars. But in Sitara, Izzy finds someone brave, someone daring, someone who isn't as afraid as Izzy is to use her voice and speak up for herself. As Izzy and Sitara grow closer, Izzy must make a choice: stay in her comfort zone and risk betraying her new friend or speak up and lose the Sea Stars forever. A Galaxy of Sea Stars is a heartwarming story about family, loyalty, and the hard choices we face in the name of friendship
