Welcome to August!
Oh boy, if this is any sign of what the fall season holds, we are in for a bumper harvest. We already started compiling our September list and might be hitting 20-25 recommendations next month (can you believe it?)!
This month, though, we have a treat—one I hope will continue all fall long and into the coming year: We’re featuring two reviews from our Junior Reviewers who read some forthcoming August releases. If you’ve been eager to see what kids think about new releases, you’ll love these reviews. One is a 4-star rave from Massimo and the other is a disappointed 3-star review from Lulu handed sorely to a book from an author whose debut she loved.
In case you’re wondering, our new release round-ups are reviews of books we’ve read and think are worth recommending. Every book on this list has been read cover to cover by a member of our team. Whether you’re an educator, librarian, or parent buying books for voracious young readers, these recommendations will make your job so much easier!
This month, we have an incredible mix of manga, graphic novels, dystopian fiction, sports fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, and Choose Your Own Adventure options!
