You’re truly One of the Kind is an adorable picture book about diversity and cherishing our individuality. It shares a sweet message of confidence, love and friendship. I love how Sonali Patodia uses Indian mythology and culture to explore all these concepts.

Master storyteller and internationally bestselling author Christopher Paolini returns to the World of Eragon in this stunning epic fantasy set a year after the events of the Inheritance Cycle. Join Dragon Rider—and fan favorite—Murtagh and his dragon as they confront a perilous new enemy!

The Lost Library is a little middle grade book treasure. It is a pure declaration of love to librarians and little free library stewards and how they unite the Community and help make it better. I deeply enjoy this sweet mystery adventure with a paranormal twist. It is simply lovely ! If you love books, cats, cheese, tea and are always on the hunt for a little free library, this book will be a hit !

Noodle Conquers Comfy Mountain is an adorable picture book, perfect for young readers and dog lovers. The illustrations are really cute, and the text is simple and entertaining. I love how the author shows how we sometimes need help and should not hesitate to ask for it. It is a great read to comfort children who are frustrated because they cannot accomplish something by themselves (especially toddlers !).

Mary Camarillo depicts a vivid image of a present-day neighborhood. The facade is beautiful : people are friendly and smiling. But you just need to scratch a little the surface to see the hate, the talks, the racism. She alternates the characters’ point of view, portraying people from different origins, as much financial than ethniticaly.

I have always been fascinated by Folklore and Myths, so I knew Treacle Walker would be a hit. Digging into old English beliefs and stories, Alan Garner created a fun and coming of age adventure where a little boy meets a strange traveler, possibly from another Realm. If you love the work of Terri Windling, Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clarke or Ellen Kushner’s Thomas the Rhymer, you will fall in love with Alan Garner’s book.
