Cool & New
January 2016
This month’s Cool and New roundup includes THE HERO TWO DOORS DOWN: Based on the True Story of the Friendship Between a Boy and a Baseball Legend by Sharon Robinson, in which Jackie Robinson’s daughter writes a fictionalized version of her father’s friendship with his young Jewish neighbor in the late 1940’s; THE NIGHT PARADE by Kathryn Tanquary, where Saki accidentally invokes a death curse in her grandmother’s village in Japan; and GOING WHERE IT'S DARK by the award-winning author of SHILOH, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, which follows a caving-obsessed boy with a stutter who is trying to overcome some major changes in his life.
