Those Kids from Fawn Creek
by Erin Entrada Kelly
|
|
Every day in
Fawn Creek, Louisiana, is exactly the same—until Orchid Mason
arrives. Orchid was born in New York City but just moved to Fawn
Creek from Paris. Fawn Creek Middle School might be small, but
it has its tightly knit groups—the self-proclaimed “God Squad,” the
jocks, the outsiders—just like anyplace else. Who will claim Orchid
Mason? Who will save Orchid Mason? Or will Orchid Mason save
them? Newbery Medal winner Kelly explores complex themes
centered on family, friendships, and staying true to yourself.

Messy Roots: A Graphic Memoir of a
Wuhanese American
by Laura Gao
|
|
After
spending her early years in Wuhan, China, riding water buffalos and
devouring stinky tofu, Laura immigrates to Texas, where her hometown
is as foreign as Mars—at least until 2020, when COVID-19 makes Wuhan
a household name. In Messy Roots, Laura illustrates her
coming-of-age as the girl who simply wants to make the basketball
team, escape Chinese school, and figure out why girls make her heart
flutter.
