Books as Windows and Mirrors with Nic Dufort

We were thrilled to welcome Nic Dufort of Penguin Random House Kids in our store last week to teach educators and our staff about the concept of Books as Windows and Mirrors, and to discuss her favorite new books that feature the concept. For those who don't know, the idea is all about readers finding books that don't reflect their voices and experiences (MIRRORS), but rather give them a chance to hear and see outside ideas that may be foreign to their life experiences (WINDOWS). To see Nic's full list, CLICK HERE, and don't forget to check out our own Bookie Midge's list of her favorite new books that feature the same concept HERE. As always, thank you to everyone who attended our event and thank you to Nic for presenting and for all the great prizes and books we gave out!

Fresh Ink
Erin Hunter
Erin Hunter's bestselling WARRIORS series returns with the second offering in the spinoff THE BROKEN CODE books. The warriors are being forced to decide if they are more loyal to the code or the clans to which they belong.
Agent Running in the Field
John Le Carré
A spy novel from the master Le Carré that's destined to be another bestseller. Nat is a former spy, ready to settle down with his wife back in London. But the changing world, and his anger at it, draw him back into the world he thought he had left.
Already #1 on the Mountains and Plains bestseller list for non-fiction, Bryson returns with his trademark humor to teach us about the most wondrous place of all: our bodies.
Graham goes back to the well for this thriller. Powerful people have murdered someone to keep them quiet, framed another person, and will do anything to stop the truth from coming out.
Part of the juggernaut that is 'Rick Riordan Presents', Mbalia creates a world filled with "African-American folk heroes and West African gods." This middle-grade novel starts what is sure to be a long and popular series featuring Tristan Strong.
Our staff learned about this book at Nic Dufort's book talk. Nic Stone, author of DEAR MARTIN, returns to offer us this unique look at race, wealth, poverty, and love. Rico works at a gas station and thinks she sold a winning lottery ticket to 'the little old church lady' - who hasn't claimed her prize. Can Rico find her and change her own luck? Only if she can get help from wealthy Zan, who knows more than he's letting on...
