Under Story by Chloe Benjamin

A beautiful and mind-boggling (in a very good way) book about grief and moving backward and forward through time. As much a literary drama as it is speculative fiction. Loved and perfect for book clubs!

The Take by Kelly Yang

Unputdownable! So much taking and giving between Maggie and Ingrid. Yellowface meets Substance vibes for sure.

Shrinking Violet by Laurel Snyder

Gorgeous, and a helpful context for young readers about anxiety and worry. How do we do big things when we feel small? How do we shore ourselves up when the occasion demands it? Snyder, as always, provides gentle, reflective solutions to hard questions.
