Cool & New

January 2017

Our Cool & New roundup for January includes several books to help you begin your 2017 TBR list. Up first, we have STEF SOTO, TACO QUEEN, a charming novel from Jennifer Torres in which young Stef Soto must come to her family's aid when their livelihood is threatened. Next we have MIDNIGHT WITHOUT A MOON from newcomer Linda Jackson. In this historical novel, a young girl realizes she may need to help her fellow African Americans in the south before she can move north to freedom herself. Finally we have SHORT, a hilarious book from Holly Goldberg Sloan about a young girl whose diminutive size ends up being a huge advantage when her school puts on a production of "The Wizard of Oz."
