Hello readers!
A few weeks ago, the children’s booksellers in our Saratoga store welcomed a group of local educators to the store for an afternoon of book recommendations. We had so much fun talking about some of our recent favorites, so I thought I’d share some of our suggested favorites with you now.
Beth told us about Wrecker by Carl Hiaasen and The Plot to Kill a Queen by Deborah Hopkinson, two great new novels perfect for kids ages 10 & up. She also talked about two picture books that are big hits with our whole team - Tired Town by Patricia Marx and Roz Chast, and Big Truck Little Island by Chris Van Dusen.
Wildly creative picture books, like Sylvie Daigneault’s The Imaginary Alphabet, David Alvarez’s Ancient Night, and Woven of the World by Katey Howes featured heavily in Emily’s presentation.
Tara talked about the amazing young adult romcom Cafe Con Lychee by Emery Lee, the picture book The Good Hair Day by Christian Trimmer, and the middle reader novel Sir Callie and the Champions of Helston by Esme Symes-Smith.
Saratoga’s amazing web order & school order specialist Cassidy had some favorites to share as well: The Mermaid Moon by Briony May Smith, Once There Was by Kiyash Monsef, All That It Ever Meant by Blessing Musariri, and Misfit Mansion by Kay Davault.
As for me, I got to talk about one of the most imaginative picture books I’ve read in a while - The Museum of Nothing by Steven Guarnaccia, a hilarious book about… well.. nothing.
Whatever the children in your life like to read, our staff of experts probably has a recommendation that will fit them perfectly. Come visit, and let us help you find something great!
Best wishes,
Rachel, Director of Events
