So fun, so sweet, and introduces us to a 100% endearing heroine. Although it's a true story of a hard-of-hearing
youngster, it is relatable to anyone navigating growing up (or who has
grown up) regardless of which abilities they might possess. A funny and charming book. [Raissa]
Compelling and lyrical. An original coming-of-age
story taking on race, religion, and trying to find the brilliance
inside that makes you - You. Relevant topics for today's world. Beautifully done. [Jennifer]

Greg is back! This time, the whole Heffley family is going on a road trip.
As expected, Mom's idea for a perfect trip doesn't exactly go as
planned. This trek features danger, suspense, hilarity, calamity, and an
adopted baby pig! [Mike]
The final book in this series is full of exciting adventure, with reappearances of well-liked characters. The fast-paced action and larger-than-life mythological characters and stories make this a favorite for young readers. [Raissa]

Accessible and captivating storytelling, both touching and humorous. Blanco keeps it entertaining while discussing hefty subjects such as immigration, family, and sexuality. (Jennifer)
Chast writes about her parents and their final years
in a graphic novel that is both funny & brutally honest. It has the
mixed up, muddled up grief & guilt from having imperfect parents, with helpings of humor. (Raissa)
For over a year, Creative Colloquy has hosted a popular reading series and posted stories and poems on their website. Now you can curl up with local writers
on these cold winter nights. A great gift for anyone into local lit or
for a friend living out of town who wants to know what's up in T-Town. (Mike)
This book pulls you in, tears you apart, picks you up again, and
puts you back together. Though this story takes place during WWII, it's
not just another book about war. Cleverly written and engrossing. Easily my favorite read of the year. (Jennifer)

This is remarkable and clear-eyed in its recounting of his son Gabriel and Gabriel's life. It is emotional, but focused, a fitting tribute to a complex young man, and a testament to the power of creating, writing, and poetry. (Raissa)
