On Sale Now : New Releases

My first On Sale Now feature this year was nice and full. Since then its been very small. Charlotte's listing of New Releases of science fiction and fantasy is always full. I would like to continue to simply mention the new releases which feature kids of color weekly but there simply aren't enough. So I am turning this into a once a month feature.

Prince of Fenway Park by Julianna Baggott (paperback) I loved this book. An middle grade baseball book with a Curt Flood reference, how could I not. Baggot was one of nine authors was kind enough to participate in a baseball feature I did last year.


How Lamar's Bad Prank Won a Budda Sized Trophy by Crystal Allen - Its nice to see another middle grade contemporary novel that features a male protagonist of color. my review.
