B. B. Alston returns to his Supernatural Investigations trilogy with Amari and the Great Game. Between the fearsome new Head Minister’s strict anti-magician agenda, fierce Junior Agent rivalries, and her brother Quinton’s curse steadily worsening, Amari’s plate is full. So when the secretive League of Magicians offers her a chance to become its new leader, she declines. But her refusal allows someone else to step forward, a magician with dangerous plans. This challenge sparks the start of the Great Game, a competition to decide who will become the Night Brothers’ successor and determine the future of magiciankind. In Julie C. Dao’s Team Chu and the Battle for Blackwood Arena, Clip and Sadie Chu couldn’t be more different. Clip wants to become his school’s first seventh-grade soccer captain, while brainy star student Sadie is determined to prove that she can do anything her boastful brother can. They have just one thing in common: they love laser tag. When the Blackwood Gaming Arena comes to town, bringing virtual reality headsets and state-of-the-art courses, they couldn’t be more excited – or competitive. But then a mysterious figure appears, forcing the Chus and their friends to save themselves from a sinister force lurking inside the simulation. Moderated by Kimberly White, youth services coordinator for Broward County Library. Grades 3-8

White, Kimberly

Kimberly White serves as the youth services coordinator for Broward County Library’s community engagement team, a position she has held since June of 2017. As part of the team, she believes in the power of libraries as an essential component of a vibrant community. White began her career as an elementary school teacher in New London, Connecticut, where she first started to see how vital it was to connect emerging and reluctant readers with the books they truly loved. Upon completion of her master’s degree in library science, she worked with an academic imprint of Gale Cengage and discovered the joys of archives and primary source materials. In 2010, White began working as a youth services librarian in suburban and urban public libraries, and since then has enjoyed creating connections between libraries, families, and community organizations.
