 Born to a Jewish family in a small Polish village, Estelle Nadel-then known as Enia Feld-was just seven years old when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939. Once a vibrant child with a song for every occasion, Estelle would eventually lose her voice as, over the next five years, she would survive the deaths of their mother, father, their eldest brother and sister, and countless others. A child at the mercy of her neighbors during a terrifying time in history, The Girl Who Sang is an enthralling first-hand account of Estelle's fight for survival during World War II. She would weather loss, betrayal, near-execution, and spend two years away from the warmth of the sun-all before the age of eleven. And once the war was over, Estelle would walk barefoot across European borders and find remnants of home in an Austrian displaced persons camp before finally crossing the Atlantic to arrive in New York City-a young woman carrying the unseen scars of war.-- Publisher description |

| The firelight apprentice / Bree Paulsen. |
 In a city powered by magic and still recovering from a bloody war, Ada is concerned about her younger sister Safi's developing powers. She understands that Safi could learn how to control her magic under the apprenticeship of a king's magician. But with the memories of war still fresh, Ada is conflicted by this prospect-despite her knowing that she can't keep Safi safely at home with the threat of deadly, power-thieving liches prowling the kingdom. When a traveling group of magicians comes to the city to perform, they immediately recognize Safi's talents and offer to take her on as an apprentice. Safi is thrilled about her new adventure--even if that means leaving behind Ada and their sickly father. And Ada is right to worry about her sister, for there may be monsters hiding behind friendly faces. |

| Noodle & Bao / Shaina Lu. |
 "Momo has lived in Town 99 her entire life. She knows all its quirks and rhythms--the best places to buy fruit, practice tai chi in the park, and most of all, get the best meal: Noodle & Bao, run by Momo's best friend, Bao, and their ah-ma, Noodle. But Town 99 is changing. Rent is becoming unaffordable for Momo and her parents, and even Noodle & Bao has been edged out of its storefront, which was just recently bought out by a new business venture -- Fancé Café. Fancé is run by the ambitious Ms. Jujube and her henchmen, who claim they're only beautifying Town 99 with good business. Momo knows that's not true, and knows that if she doesn't do something, she'll lose everything she loves about her neighborhood. From undercover recon to a cook-off proposal, protest signs to petitions, Momo and Bao are on a mission to protect Town 99. Will they succeed before it's too late?"--Jacket flap copy. |

| Sparkly new friends / written by Heather Ayris Burnell ; art by Hazel Quintanilla. |

|
| A good team / written by Heather Ayris Burnell ; art by Hazel Quintanilla. |
 New friends Unicorn and Yeti are having a little trouble finding something they are both good at; Yeti is good at kicking a ball, Unicorn is not, Unicorn is fast, Yeti is not--so they finally try ice skating, which neither of them has ever done, because they have a chance to be equally good (or bad) at it. |

 Unicorn and Yeti are still a little new to the friendship-thing, but they are trying hard to work out how to share the things they like to do, for instance taking turns on a swing, or sharing a sparkly rock--or combining the peaches that Unicorn likes with Yeti's ice cream to make a special treat they can share together. |

| Cheer up / written by Heather Ayris Burnell ; art by Hazel Quintanilla. |

|
| Fair and square / written by Heather Ayris Burnell ; art by Hazel Quintanilla. |
