Other Bells for Us to Ring
by Robert Cormier[From the front flap:] "At eleven, Darcy has never had a best friend, but this summer she's met the unsinkable Kathleen Mary O'Hara, who, like Darcy, is an outsider in Frenchtown. Darcy has never lived for long in any one place, but it's wartime and her father is in the army somewhere in Europe. Because her own family is Unitarian, Darcy is spellbound by Kathleen Mary's vivid tales about Catholicism. But after that careless baptism, she's stunned. A bit of holy water can't make you a Catholic, or can it? Was Kathleen Mary joking? Must she now go to church every Sunday? Can she eat meat on Friday? Then Kathleen Marry and her family disappear from Frenchtown, and Darcy waits in vain for word from her friend who promised she'd never leave her. Soon after, Darcy learns that her father is missing in action. Desperate and forlorn, Darcy seeks out an old nun known for her spiritual wisdom. Religion is about love, the nun tells her, and about miracles. It's Christmas now, but Darcy remains unsure about the power of God's love until she gets a message from Kathleen Mary--in the form of a miracle. Robert Cormier's first book for children is a touching and profound portrayal of Darcy's curiosity--and doubt--about faith that will appeal to all those who struggle to make sense of a bewildering world." Readers will sympathize with the feelings of eleven-year-olds and learn about life and situations of families whose loved ones served in the armed forces during World War II. Practices of Catholicism and Unitarianism are seen simply through the eyes of children and the point made that there are many ways to God which, no matter what the religion, involve faith and love.

A law has been passed. There will be no more genders. Everyone must appear gender neutral. No more boys. No more girls. Just ... Otherwise. Same bland clothes. Same fuzzy heads. "Spark" dreads the countdown leading up to the finality of the new law's passage. Her parents are for it. They're tired of conforming to society's standards. But they allow her to take off for a quick camping trip to gather her thoughts. At the campsite, she meets "Whistler." And the attraction is instant and mutual. But who is Whistler? And what is Whistler? Boy? Or girl? This gender-bending story in verse will make readers question everything they thought they knew about love, chemistry, and cultural norms. Just like prose, a novel in verse tells a story. But verse is unique because readers access the text through short "chapters," or poems. The varying lengths of the chapters are ideal for a struggling reader, giving them breaks to collect their thoughts, to imagine the characters in their mind's eye, and to set the scene--like a frame in a movie. The structure of poetry makes the books appear less intimidating, with plenty of airy white space. Moreover, the depth and substance conveyed in verse is every bit as deep and real as in a Gravel Road prose novel.

Otherwood
by Pete Hautman“Hatred combined with lies and secrets can break the world.” Grandpa Zach used to say that before he died, but Stuey never really knew what he meant. It was kind of like how he used to talk about quantum physics or how he used to say ghosts haunted their overgrown golf course. But then one day, after Stuey and his best friend, Elly Rose, spend countless afternoons in the deadfall in the middle of the woods, something totally unbelievable happens. As Stuey and Elly Rose struggle to come to grips with their lives after that reality-splitting moment, all the things Grandpa Zach used to say start to make a lot more sense. This is a book about memory and loss and the destructive nature of secrets, but also about the way friendship, truth, and perseverance have the ability to knit a torn-apart world back together.
