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

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.

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

But the three soon discover that the house is filled with far more than just oddities: It holds clues linking to an alt-Earth called Aurora\, where the notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley has stormed back to life on a magic-fueled rampage across a surreal\, through-the-looking-glass version of Europe replete with talking animals (and vegetables). \nIn Gold Wings Rising\, the final installment of Alex London‘s Skybound Saga\, Kylee and Brysen must fight for their lives and their humanity. The war on the ground has ended\, but the war with the sky has just begun. While the humans fly familiar circles around each other\, the ghost eagles create schemes far greater and more terrible than either Kylee or Brysen could have imagined. Now\, the tug-of-war between love and power begins to fray\, threatening bonds of siblinghood and humanity alike.

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:Virtual Pachanga: The YA Edition
DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nIn Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo\, 16-year-old Camino Rios lives for the summer – especially the first week of June – when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time\, on the day when his plane is supposed to land\, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people. Roughly 1\,500 miles away in New York City\, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office\, where she meets her “Ms. Universe-perfect” mother with her hair in rollers waiting to tell her that her father\, her hero\, has died in a plane crash\, and her entire world changes. Separated by distance – and Papi’s secrets – the two girls are forced to face a new reality\, one in which their worlds collide\, and their lives are forever altered. \nIsmée Williams’ This Train is Being Held is about Alex\, a baseball player. A great one. His papi is pushing him to go pro\, but Alex maybe wants to be a poet. Not that Papi would understand or allow that. Isa is a dancer. She’d love to go pro\, if only her Havana-born mom weren’t dead set against it\, just like she’s dead set against her daughter falling for a Latino. And Isa’s privileged private-school life – with her dad losing his job and her older brother struggling with mental illness – is falling apart. Not that she’d ever tell that to Alex. Fate\, and the New York City subway\, bring Alex and Isa together. Is it enough to keep them together when they need each other most? \nFREE bonus download: Official Spotify playlist for This Train is Being Held \nSponsored by \n \n

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
