Madre de los tiburones
La científica de tiburones galardonada como una de las 30 menores de 30 de Forbes en 2021 entre otros honores y mundialmente reconocida Melissa Cristina Márquez se une a la premiada ilustradora Devin Elle Kurtz para crear un impactante libro ilustrado que explora el viaje personal de Melissa desde su inquisitive niñez y amor hacia el océano en Puerto Rico hasta ser llamada la Madre de los Tiburones.
A medida que el sol se pone sobre otro hermoso día en la Playita Del Condado en Puerto Rico, Meli no quiere irse a casa. Le encanta el océano más que nada, y con solo cinco minutos de playa sabe exactamente dónde debería estar su última parada: las pozas de marea. Son pequeños universos llenos de vida y criaturas marinas.
Mientras mira dentro de las pozas, se encuentra con un cangrejo, Jaiba, que la lleva a una aventura submarina de ensueño, le enseña sobre la importancia de la conservación de los tiburones y revela el destino final de Meli: convertirse en la “Madre de los Tiburones”.
Mezclando lo autobiográfico con lo fantástico, Melissa Cristina Márquez comparte su increíble travesia no sólo para disipar mitos sobre estas criaturas incomprendidas sino también para allanar el camino para que las latinas despunten en STEM. Combinado con las vibrantes y emotivas ilustraciones de Devin Elle Kurtz, este libro es un viaje irresistible a través de las maravillas del océano y, sobre todo, un grito de Guerra por la conservación marina. -

Everyone knows the most stressful day of middle school is picture day! And that's exactly where this yearbook-worthy graphic novel series opener begins: with reinventing yourself, drama, popularity, and the friends who see you through.
Seventh-grader Viv never looks forward to picture day. It’s just another day where she wears a boring braid and no one notices her. (Her two best friends, Milo and Al, don’t count, of course.)
But enough is enough. This year, she’s taking matters into her own hands. Literally. Viv grabs a pair of scissors, her phone for live-streaming, and, well, bye-bye braid.
Suddenly Viv is an over-night influencer at Brinkley Middle School. Everyone wants her help planning their next big moment—from haircuts, to dance proposals, activist rallies and mathlete championships. She hardly even has time for her friends anymore. It’s exactly how she dreamed of reinventing herself…right?
In the tradition of modern classics like Vera Brosgol's Be Prepared, Svetlana Chmakova's Awkward, and Kayla Miller's Click, Picture Day brings answers to perennial questions of what it means to be true to yourself—and a true friend.

But for Lucy, facing the music means dealing with the problems at home. Middle school is tough--thank goodness there's band.

Determined to be the conductor of her own life, Lucy focuses all her energy on beating snobby Tolli Claybourne for first chair flute. As things spiral out of control with her parents and her schoolwork, Lucy grows desperate for a win. Just when she thinks she's hitting all the right notes, an accident leaves her unable to play, and her mother threatens to withdraw her for poor grades.

Summer break is just around the corner, and the PAWS team is gearing up for a busy season full of dog-walking, travel, and fun! Gabby’s got a packed schedule with about a hundred different camps plus playing host to her mysterious cousin visiting from out of town. Meanwhile Mindy is headed to her dad’s house for a month-long stay. With so much going on, the girls are looking forward to scaling back and taking it easy this summer. . . with one exception.
When the opportunity to cat-sit two new fur babies arises, Hazel jumps at the chance. Their new client’s house is even wheelchair accessible! But when everyone’s hectic summer plans mean she would have to take on the job alone, Hazel knows her overprotective mother would never approve. On the other hand, managing a side business all on her own could prove that she is much more capable than her mom might think…
Hazel soon learns that juggling multiple cats and dogs along with her own physical therapy—while also keeping a big secret—is no easy task. When disaster strikes, will she have the energy to make everything right by herself, or will she be forced to reach out for help and risk getting into even more trouble?

Longfingers makes Maudie a twisted deal: find the key to a door in a mysterious cabin, or she’ll never see her friends again. With nobody else to turn to, Maudie has to beg for help from Gianna, the living girl she’s been haunting. Together, the girls search for a way to thwart the monster and save Maudie’s friends.

Mercy Watson Is Missing!
"As the final book in the beloved Mercy Watson universe, this will lure fans like a certain pig sniffing out buttered toast." --Booklist (starred review)
When Mercy Watson the pig goes missing, all of Deckawoo Drive is in an uproar. The Watsons are inconsolable, and the local police department, fire department, and Animal Control are no help whatsoever. Bossy neighbor Eugenia Lincoln is not quite as sad as she might be, but thankfully her sister, Baby Lincoln, has the idea to hire a private investigator. Granted, Percival Smidgely, PI, may be more bumbler than gumshoe, but his pigeon, Polly, is there to point the way. Meanwhile, Frank and Stella Endicott and Stella's friend Horace Broom are ready to do some investigating of their own. Will the clever neighborhood sleuths manage to follow the trail of hoofprints--and a certain overwhelmingly enticing scent--to recover their porcine wonder? With deftly paced narrative comedy, visual slapstick, abundant artwork in both black and white and full color, and warm affection for their cast of characters, Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen bring us a highly satisfying, extra-special series finale that rewards loyal fans--and invites new readers to explore the stories that came before. -
