Books:
Subway Love by Nora Raleigh Baskin
If her parents had
never divorced, Laura wouldn’t have to live in the shadow of Bruce, her mom’s
unpredictable boyfriend. Her mom wouldn’t say things like "Be
groovy," and Laura wouldn’t panic every weekend on the way to Dad’s
Manhattan apartment. But when Laura spots a boy on a facing platform, lifting a
camera to his face, looking right at her, Laura feels anything but afraid, and
she can’t forget him. Jonas, meanwhile, thinks nonstop about the pretty hippie
girl he glimpsed on the platform — trying to comprehend how she vanished, but
mostly wondering whether he will see her again in a city of millions — and
whether if he searches, he would have any chance of finding her. In a lyrical
meditation on love, Nora Raleigh Baskin explores the soul’s ability to connect,
and heal, outside the bounds of time and reason.
The Tequila Worm by Viola Canales
Sofia comes from a
family of storytellers. Here are her tales of growing up in the barrio, full of
the magic and mystery of family traditions: making Easter cascarones, celebrating el Dia de los Muertos, preparing for quincea–era, rejoicing in the Christmas nacimiento, and curing homesickness by eating the tequila
worm. When Sofia is singled out to receive a scholarship to an elite boarding
school, she longs to explore life beyond the barrio, even though it means
leaving her family to navigate a strange world of rich, privileged kids. It's a
different mundo, but one where
Sofia's traditions take on new meaning and illuminate her path.
Princess of the Silver Woods by Jessica Day George
The stories of Red
Riding Hood and Robin Hood get a new twist as Petunia and her many sisters take
