Book Buzz Feature: Men Have Caller Her Crazy by Anna Marie Tendler
When I was in the hospital, I took really detailed notes, not anticipating that I would do anything with them. It just felt like what was hopefully a singular experience that I really wanted to remember. Writing about my story, I was also able to tap into something that is universal, which was my goal the whole time. What I really wanted to get across is not necessarily the ordinariness, but the way that my experiences are probably the same as those of so many other women.

― Anna Marie Tendler, The Guardian

Decide For Yourself Banned Book Feature:
Ground Zero by Alan Gratz
Alan Gratz is the master at posing historical fiction in a compelling and propulsive way for middle-grade readers. I love the way he went back and forth between a boy fighting for his life in the tower and a girl fighting for her own life in the aftermath of 9/11 overseas. It was touching and eye-opening in a way that younger readers have not experienced the events of 9/11.
― Olivia Schaffer, The Bookshelf in Thomasville, Georgia
