Blake Breaker by Victoria Aveyard


 Blade Breaker is the sequel to Aveyard's fantasy masterpiece Realm Breaker. This book is huge, but packed with action that will keep the reader engaged and on the edge of their seat! If you read the first book, all of your favorite characters are back: Andry, Coraine, Sorasa, Dom, Valtik. They band together, as different as they are, to try to expel Taristan and Queen Erida. If they fail, the world as they know it just might cease to exist. 

I love anything Aveyard writes. This book will intimidate some readers because it is massive, but it will suck you in and you will love every page! I promise.

Shadow House by A.R. Silverberry

Image
  Set in New Earth Johari Hightower is sentenced to Elimination for a crime he did not commit. In order to try to prove his innocence, he escapes INTO the House, a place where everyone is forced to enter at some point, but only the purest come out (and their never allowed to speak about what happens inside). Johari believes if he can escape the house, then his innocence will be accepted. However, he could never have known the horrors he will have to endure. This book is wild, creepy, and fast paced. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Set for publication June 22, 2022, this would make an excellent summer read for all of my students-perhaps around a summer night campfire! I loved this book! -TK

Come Home Safe by Brian Buckmire

Image
  Come Home Safe tells a story all too familiar to many kids and adults across America. Oliva and her older brother Reed have always been taught the rules of how to interact with police should the occasion ever arise. Their parents' main goal has always been to know your rights and simply come home safe. Their knowledge is put to the test in Brian Buckmire's in-your-face real life drama when they are approached on the subway and questioned for a crime they did not commit. What happens during this interaction will forever change their lives. This book is powerful in all the right ways. It points out important perspectives and also points out some hard truths. I think some very important conversations can be had across all color lines and ages if a lot of people read this book. I think a lot of eyes will be opened if this book if widely read and spoken about! -TK

Gleanings by Neal Shusterman

Image
Gleanings  is Neal Shusterman's most recent installment of The Arc of the Scythe series. This collection of short stories, written by a variety of authors, will take readers through a bunch of characters, both old and new, timelines, and settings as the mythology of this world (and world's beyond) is explored and delved more deeply into. Some of these imaginings are longer than others, but all will keep the reader turning the page! As a teacher, one idea that floated through my head was having my students creatively explore and attempt writing their own vision or installment to Shusterman's beautifully scary world-oh the possibilities! -TK
