Cervantes’ Storm Runner #3: The Shadow Crosser\, Zane Obispo has been searching for the remaining godborns with a nasty demon who can sniff them out (literally). But when Zane tracks down the last kid on his list\, he’s in for a surprise: the “one” is actually a pair of twins\, and they’re trying to prevent a mysterious object from falling into the wrong hands. So Zane and his friends embark on their most treacherous mission yet – a mission that\, with one blunder\, could change history as we know it\, and worse\, destroy the universe. \nTristan Strong\, just back from a victorious but exhausting adventure in Alke\, the land of African American folk heroes and African gods\, is suffering from PTSD. But there’s no rest for the weary when his grandmother is abducted by a mysterious villain out for revenge. Tristan must return to Alke – and reunite with his loud-mouthed sidekick\, Gum Baby – in order to rescue Nana and stop the culprit from creating further devastation in Kwame Mbalia’s Tristan Strong Destroys the World. \nIn Tehlor Kay Mejia’s Paola Santiago and the River of Tears\, space-obsessed 12-year-old Paola Santiago and her two best friends\, Emma and Dante\, know the rule: Stay away from the river. Her mother is constantly warning her about La Llorona\, the wailing ghost woman who wanders the banks of the Gila at night\, looking for young people to drag into its murky depths. Pao organizes a meetup to test out her new telescope near the Gila\, since it’s the best stargazing spot. But when Emma doesn’t arrive and Pao sees a shadowy figure in the reeds\, it seems like maybe her mom was right …

SUMMARY:Inside the world of Kenny & the Book of Beasts
DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 – 7 \nIn this highly anticipated sequel to Tony DiTerlizzi’s Kenny & the Dragon\, Kenny must cope with many changes in his life – including the fear that he’s losing his best friend. What can come between two best friends? Time has passed since Kenny Rabbit’s last adventure with his best friend\, the legendary dragon Grahame\, and a lot has changed in the sleepy village of Roundbrook. For starters\, Kenny has a whole litter of baby sisters. His friends are at different schools and Sir George is off adventuring. At least Kenny still has his very best friend\, Grahame. That’s before Dante arrives. Dante is a legendary manticore and an old friend of Grahame’s. Old friends spend a lot of time catching up. And that catching up does not involve Kenny. But there’s a witch to defeat\, a pal to rescue\, and a mysterious book to unlock. And those are quests for best friends\, not old friends. Right? \nModerated by Angela DiTerlizzi

SUMMARY:Storytime: The Worst Read-Aloud Books Ever
DESCRIPTION:Grades PreK – 3 \nIntroduced by Cierra Bragan\, Miami Mom Collective. \nLet’s get real – the English language is bizarre. A might be for apple\, but it’s also for aisle and aeons. Why does the word “gnat” start with a G but the word “knot” doesn’t start with an N? It doesn’t always make sense in Raj Haldar’s P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever\, but don’t let these rule-breaking silent letters defeat you! \nYou can’t believe everything you hear. A single word can have many different meanings. And sometimes two words that sound alike can be spelled completely differently. In No Reading Allowed: The Worst Read-Aloud Book Ever\, Haldar takes a fresh look at the English language for children and their parents to laugh together. Ptolemy the pterodactyl is back to show us all how absurd and fun language can be when homophones\, homonyms\, and tricky punctuation are at play. \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

SUMMARY:Poisoned Water: How the Citizens of Flint\, Michigan\, Fought for Their Lives and Warned the Nation
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Wednesday\, November 18 @ 4 – 4:30 p.m. EST \nGrades 9 – 12 \nIn 2014\, Flint\, Michigan\, was a cash-strapped city that had been built up\, then abandoned by General Motors. As part of a plan to save money\, government officials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Within months\, many residents broke out in rashes. Then it got worse: Children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses. Others died. Citizens of Flint protested that the water was dangerous. Despite what seemed so apparent from the murky\, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city’s faucets\, officials refused to listen. They treated the people of Flint as the problem\, not the water\, which was actually poisoning thousands. Poisoned Water shows not just how the crisis unfolded in 2014\, but also the history of racism and segregation that led up to it\, the beliefs and attitudes that fueled it\, and how the people of Flint fought – and are still fighting today – for clean water and healthy lives. \n

SUMMARY:Panel: A Legendary Remix: Fresh Fairy Tale Faces
DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nModerated by Aurora Dominguez\, YA book reviewer at Frolic Media. \nIn Cinderella Is Dead\, Kalynn Bayron takes us 200 years past the day that Cinderella found her prince\, but the fairy tale is over\, and we learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than we ever knew. Filled with mystery and a rich magic system\, Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn offers dark allure with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. Chloe Gong‘s These Violent Delights is an imaginative retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1920s Shanghai\, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River. Updating a Greek myth in an Afro-Latinx setting\, Lilliam Rivera‘s Never Look Back blends a touch of magical realism into a timely story about cultural identity\, overcoming trauma\, and the power of first love.

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?

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
