Mini BOB LIST (I don’t know what cover we’ll get!) Vacationing in a seaside village in Cornwall, children stumble upon a brittle old map showing the location of a magical relic of King Arthur’s days, leading them into a dangerous quest that traps them in the battle between the forces of the Light and the Dark. (Series starter) In this prequel to Newbery Medal winner The Crossover, Chuck Bell takes center stage, as readers get a glimpse of his childhood and how he became the jazz music loving basketball star his sons look up to. A novel in verse with all the impact and rhythm readers have come to expect from Kwame Alexander. Nathan Hale brings readers back to the world of the American Revolution for the first time since One Dead Spy—but this time, he’s following the Marquis de Lafayette into battle. An orphan who became a French nobleman, Lafayette was a major figure in the American Revolution who fought alongside iconic figures like George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. (Young Reader’s Edition) As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.
