New Monthly Staff Picks are here for July to help you beat the heat this summer!
Susie Dent’s mystery ‘Guilty by Definition’ is our Adult selection this month. The kick-off to a brand new series, this crime puzzler sees a letter arrive at the offices of the Clarendon English Dictionary that begins the unraveling of the mysterious disappearance of one of their own. This fun, code-filled novel is perfect for word-nerds and British cozy mystery fans alike.
This month’s Young Adult selection is perfect for those looking for a beachy romance read; K.L. Walther’s ‘Summer of Second Chances’ is a Martha Vineyard set story of summer and young love as Olivia follows in her grandmother’s footsteps during a family vacation only to be reintroduced to a boy from her past who might be the key to opening her heart.
‘Norman and the Smell of Adventure’ is our pick for picture book readers this month. Norman is back in this Ryan T. Higgins sequel and he’s ready for an adventure, but when that means leaving behind his best friend Mildred, a tree, he learns that perhaps the best adventures are the ones that we share.
It’s a cryptid creature double feature for our Chapter Book and Middle Reader picks this month! ‘Big Foot and Little Foot’ is an early chapter book that sees a Sasquatch and a young boy’s worlds collide as they set out on an adventure in search of even more mythical beasts. ‘What Do We Know About Bigfoot?’ is perfect for fact finding fans as this favorite series follows the sightings, science, and lore of one of the world’s most recognizable cryptids.
