Addison Cooke #1 Addison Cooke and the Treasure of the Incas by Jonathan W. Stokes This story best fits middle school and older elementary school. It's cute but a bit much.

Aisle Nine by Ian X. Cho

Aisle Nine by Ian X. Cho I'm not wild about this book. Lots of F*bombs. THe plot line is not mainstream. I would pass on this one for my library, except it is one of 2026 Battle of the Books in my area.

Lord Edgington Investigates #11 A Killer in the Wings by Benedict Brown

A Killer in the Wings by Benedict Brown This is a good series. Have fun going to historic England with a grandfather who loves good food and cars and solving murder mysteries as he teaches his grandson the art of being a detective. This would make a great PBS series. BBC are you listening?

Old School by Gordon Korman

He makes friends and everyone basically has golden opportunities. It's a great read and worth putting on middle school shelves. Super cute.

The Odyssey: A Graphic Novel by Gareth Hinds , Homer

The Odyssey: A Graphic Novel by Gareth Hinds, Homer I liked this depiction of the Greek story of a mighty warrior trying to get back home. Any nudity is blurred. A bit of blood from battle scene but it all works. A good book to add to any high school library. Helpful when teaching 9th grade English.

Rez Ball by Byron Graves

Rez Ball is a boy book. I did like the story but there is fbombs and drinking but it is a big part of the story. It ran authentic and true. It also shows how people can be prejudice against Indigenous people. Fine for high school.

The Labors of Hercules Beal by Gary D. Schmidt

The Labors of Hercules Beal is an excellent book that should be in all middle school libraries. Gary D. Schmidt is an excellent story crafter. The story is told in Hercules' perspective. He reltates to the Demigod Hercules. He becomes part of the community as they all work together to solve dangerous and difficult problems. An excellent read/audiobook.

Leroy Ninker Saddles Up by Kate DiCamillo , Chris Van Dusen (Illustrator)

I love Kate Dicamillo stories and I love animals. It's a silly story. I didn't love this story because Leroy didn't plan and prepare for a horse in his life. He didn't do his research. You could use this story as a teaching moment and ask readers wht should Leroy have done to prepare for an animal before he got one.
