"A clever, funny mystery from author Laurie Morrison, about soccer teammates trying to solve the disappearance of their beloved team captain-and facing a few secrets of their own. Why did Ella leave? Eighth Graders Sadie and Pug don't have anything in common except for their love of soccer and their loyalty to Ella, the overachieving team captain. So when Ella doesn't show up for the most important game of the season and her parents pull her out of school, Sadie and Pug are determined to find out what happened, even though they don't usually get along. There's no way Ella abandoned the team! But as Sadie and Pug dig deeper, they begin to realize that Ella's life wasn't as perfect as it seemed. And maybe Sadie and Pug have a few secrets that need to come to light, too. Maybe all their classmates do… Told in recordings, letters, texts, journal entries, and emails, Where Ella Went is a funny and absorbing slice-of-life mystery about friendship, teamwork, and the pressures of being in middle school. If Sadie and Pug keep searching for answers, they risk sabotaging the end of their soccer season. But can they ever move on if they don't learn the truth? And what if Ella needs them even more than they need her?"

Once There Was a Town: The Memory Books of a Lost Jewish World

"A powerful exploration of the books created by Jewish Holocaust survivors to honor their lost world By the close of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the face of the earth. Those who eluded death had lost their homes, families, and entire way of life. Their response was quintessentially Jewish. From a people with a long-history of self-narration, survivors gathered in groups and wrote books, yizkor books, remembering all that had been destroyed. Jane Ziegelman’s Once There Was a Town takes readers on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it depicts. Once There Was a Town resounds with the voices of rich and poor, shopkeepers and tradespeople, scholars and peddlers, Zionists and Communists, men and women telling stories of the towns that were their homes. Stops are made in the bustling market squares where Jewish merchants catered to local farmers; study houses where men recited Torah; kitchens where homemakers baked 20-pound loaves of bread; cemeteries where mourners conversed with departed loved ones and wooded groves where young couples met for the occasional moonlit tryst. Of the many towns on Ziegelman’s itinerary, she always circles back to Luboml, her family’s ancestral shtetl and the point of departure for her own journey of discovery. In conversation with classics by IB Singer and Roman Vishniac, Once There Was a Town is a landmark of rediscovery, and a love song to a vanished world."

Arkhangelsk

"Head peace officer Anya Savelova believed her people, living on a hostile planet in the ice-bound city of Novayarkha, were the last of humanity. Until the day she learned they weren't. When a starship from an Earth thought long dead appears in orbit over her world, Anya imagines an explosion of possible futures, offering her people the freedom to transcend the limiting environment of the planet they'd thought was their last refuge. In the starship's crew, Anya finds creativity, diversity, innovation–all things the colony has had to inhibit to survive. Seeing her world through the eyes of the starship crew makes Anya look closer at her city's inconsistencies, oddities she's always been told to ignore. But the harder she pushes at the pieces that don't fit, the more her government perceives the strangers as a threat. There are secrets in Novayarkha, hiding in plain sight, that the strangers can't possibly understand–and Anya's drive to uncover them risks shredding the fragile web holding together everything she's ever known and loved."

Jude has been the bystander of a seemingly gang-related shooting, but as the secrets kept since law school unravel—with the help of a zealous news reporter and the Capitol Police—his wife realizes he might not have been an unintended victim after all.
