“No One Left But You by Tash McAdam is a young adult murder mystery about a trans boy named Max, who is in love with Danny, his once best friend turned bully. Their brief relationship over the summer left Max starry eyed and heartbroken, but everything changes when Gloss, a rich girl from out of town, decides to take Max under her wing and help him regain his confidence.

A coming of age story with unexpected twists and turns, Max will confront themes of repressed sexuality, a desire for belonging, substance abuse, and more as he comes to terms with the changing lives of those he knew- or thought he knew.”

“I recommend Spooky Lakes: 25 Strange and Mysterious Lakes that Dot Our Planet by Geo Rutherford.  

Geo is the creator of the hit TikTok series Spooky Lake Month where she does a video each day talking about a different lake or hydration feature on our planet and talks about some of the weird and strange facts about them in a family friendly way. 

Backed by extensive research and packed with all sorts of cool content - including some amazing eye-popping paintings done by the author herself- Spooky Lakes takes the reader on an adventure through the weird and wild waters of our planet. Readers not only learn about the science of hydrology, but also why understanding the natural world is crucial to protecting it from pollution and climate change. 

I definitely recommend this book as much as I can. It's fun, beautiful and informative and one of the new books we have!”

Happy Reading!

North Woods by Daniel Mason
"This novel mediates and meditates around a single plot of land in western Massachusetts and follows the lives that inhabit it.  It’s a story that captures the uniqueness of each life while also reminding the reader that life is short, and that we are two things at once: interconnected and impermeable."
