DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 – 7 \nModerated by Jennifer Jhon\, editor of South Florida Family Life Magazine. \nLev Grossman on The Silver Arrow\, Kate and her younger brother Tom lead dull\, uninteresting lives. And if their dull\, uninteresting parents are anything to go by\, they don’t have much to look forward to. Why can’t Kate have thrilling adventures and save the world the way people do in books? Even her 11th birthday is shaping up to be mundane – that is\, until her mysterious and highly irresponsible Uncle Herbert\, whom she’s never even met before\, surprises her with the most unexpected\, exhilarating\, inappropriate birthday present of all time: a colossal steam locomotive called the Silver Arrow. Kate and Tom’s parents want to send it right back where it came from. But Kate and Tom have other ideas – and so does the Silver Arrow – and soon they’re off to distant lands along magical rail lines in the company of an assortment of exotic animals who\, it turns out\, can talk. With only curiosity\, excitement\, their own resourcefulness\, and the thrill of the unknown to guide them\, Kate and Tom are on the adventure of a lifetime … and who knows? They just might end up saving the world after all. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:It Takes Two: On Writing Novels in Verse
DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 – 7 \nModerated by Ismery Pavon\, program coordinator at Miami Book Fair. \nBefore he was a household name\, Cassius Clay was a kid with struggles like any other. Kwame Alexander and James Patterson join forces to vividly depict the legendary boxer’s life up to age 17 in both prose and verse\, including his childhood friends\, struggles in school\, the racism he faced\, and his discovery of boxing. Readers will learn about Clay’s family and neighbors in Louisville\, Kentucky\, and how\, after a thief stole his bike\, Clay began training as an amateur boxer at age 12. Before long\, he won his first Golden Gloves bout and began his transformation into the unrivaled Muhammad Ali. Fully authorized by and written in cooperation with the Muhammad Ali estate – and vividly brought to life by Dawud Anyabwile’s dynamic artwork – Becoming Muhammad Ali captures the budding charisma and youthful personality of one of the greatest sports heroes of all time. \nPunching the Air\, a novel in verse\, tells the story of Amal Shahid\, who has always been an artist and a poet. Then one fateful night\, an altercation in a gentrifying neighborhood escalates into tragedy. Suddenly\, at just sixteen years old\, Amal’s bright future is upended: he is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words\, his art. This never should have been his story. But can he change it? \nFREE bonus download: Becoming Muhammad Ali Educator’s Guide

SUMMARY:Storytime: The Alphabet’s Alphabet
DESCRIPTION:Grades PreK – 2 \nHere’s a totally twisted take on the alphabet that invites readers to look at it in a whole new way: An A is an H that just won’t stand up right\, a B is a D with its belt on too tight\, and a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters\, unique from each other – and yet\, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like … one big family. The Alphabet’s Alphabet is a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we’re more alike than we may think. You’ll never look at the alphabet the same way again! \n  \nSponsored by:\n \nThe Children’s Trust Family Resource Guide | Romero Britto Coloring Book \nBook Club Flyer – English | Book Club Flyer – Spanish | Book Club Flyer – Creole
