Millie of the Manor
by Karina Evans
Amy has always loved a good mystery. So when her classmate Reagan invites her to a murder-mystery-themed birthday party, she should be ecstatic. But...she's not. Instead, she's worried that her social anxiety will mess everything up. Thankfully, all the guests are given characters to play for the night, so Amy doesn't have to go to Reagan's party as herself she'll go as 'Millie Morgan,' a scientist determined to solve the murder and clear her name.

Pocket Bear
by Katherine Applegate
Thimble-born from tip to toe, Pocket Bear, made during WWI, was designed to fit into the pocket of a soldier’s jacket, eyes sewn a bit higher than normal so that he always gazed upward. That way, glancing at his pocket, a soldier would see a token of love from someone back home, and, hopefully, a good luck charm. Now, 100 years later, Pocket serves as unofficial mayor of Second Chances Home for the Tossed and Treasured, where stuffed animals are refurbished and given a fresh chance to be loved. A tale of bravery, loyalty, and kindness, Pocket reminds us that love comes in many forms (sometimes filled with fluff), and that second chances are always possible.

The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli
by Karina Yan Glaser
Breathtaking suspense, unforgettable characters, and a pinch of magic combine in the dual stories of 2 young people — one in 731 China, and one in 1931 Chinatown — on perilous journeys to save their families.
In ancient Chang’An, Han Yu sells steamed buns in a market full of whispers about his ability to summon tigers. In New York’s Depression-era Chinatown, Luli gazes out from the roof of her parents’ restaurant, dreaming of dim sum and Chinese art. Familiar rhythms rule both of their lives. But when plague strikes Chang’An and financial crisis threatens Luli’s family, they each must venture into the larger world — and into danger-filled adventure — to save what they love most.
