ARC Giveaways
Come by & grab an ARC of these upcoming Fall 2024 titles!
The Hero Twins and the Magic of Song (Tales of the Feathered Serpent #2) by David Bowles & illustrated by Charlene Bowles (Middle Grade): In this graphic novel retelling of an Indigenous Mexican tale, demigod twins must use their magic of song to rescue their father and uncle from the perilous Land of the Dead. A supreme middle-grade adventure!
A Two-Placed Heart by Doan Phuong Nguyen (Middle Grade): Afraid her sister (and maybe even herself) could lose sight of their Vietnamese identity, twelve-year-old Bom writes a poetic memoir to help them both remember—a love letter in verse to sisterhood and the places we leave behind.
Twin Flames by Olivia Abtahi (Young Adult): On estranged twins Leila and Bianca’s eighteenth birthday, Leila suddenly gains a djinn’s superpowers, and the twins realize that their town can only survive the djinns’ secret plans if they learn to work together as sisters. An action-packed YA fantasy!
