Secret Star
by Nancy SpringerWhen a strange and wild boy walks into her life, Tess is forced to confront a past she had long ago forgotten Fourteen-year-old Tess can&’t remember the first ten years of her life—and if they were anything like her life now, she&’d prefer that they stay forgotten. Since her mother&’s death, she and her disabled stepfather have lived without a phone, electricity, or even much food on the table. At school, her classmates think she&’s weird, but she&’s bigger and stronger than all of them. And at least she has music to keep her company.

The more time she spends with Kamo, the more she realizes how much they have in common.

The Secret Subway
by Shana Corey<p>From an acclaimed author and a New York Times Best Illustrated artist comes the fascinating, little-known—and true!—story of New York City’s first subway. <p>New York City in the 1860s was a mess: crowded, disgusting, filled with garbage.

On February 26, 1870, after fifty-eight days of drilling and painting and plastering, Beach unveiled his masterpiece—and throngs of visitors took turns swooshing down the track. <p>The Secret Subway will wow readers, just as Beach’s underground train wowed riders over a century ago.</p>
