Manuel Jabois llega a la novela.Una historia sobre lo bello y lo terrible. Una historia de descubrimiento. «La primera vez que papá murió todos pensamos que estaba fingiendo.» Así empieza Malaherba, la nueva novela de Manuel Jabois. Un día Mr. Tamburino, Tambu, un niño de diez años, se encuentra a su padre tirado en la habitación y conoce a Elvis, un nuevo compañero de su clase. Descubrirá por primera vez el amor y la muerte, pero no de la forma que él cree. Y los dos, Tambu y Elvis, vivirán juntos los últimos días de la niñez, esos en los que aún pasan cosas que no se pueden explicar y sentimientos a los que todavía no se sabe poner nombre. Esta es una historia de dos niños que viven una extraña y solitaria historia de amor. Un libro sobre las cosas terribles que se hacen con cariño, escrito con humor y una prosa rápida que avanza llevando a Tambu y su hermana Rebe, a Claudia y su hermano Elvis, a la frontera de un mundo nuevo. «Bien sabe Dios que es más peligrosa la pena que el odio, porque el odio puede destruir lo que odias, pero la pena lo destruye todo.» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Manuel Jabois embraces the novel. A story about the beautiful and the terrible. A story of discovery. 'The first time my father died everyone thought he was faking.' So begins Malaherba, a new novel by Manuel Jabois. One day Mr. Tamburino, Tambu, a boy just ten years old, finds his father sprawled out on the bedroom floor and he meets Elvis, a new classmate. For the first time, he will discover both love and death, but not in the way he thinks. And the two of them, Tambu and Elvis, will live the last days of their childhood together, those days when things happen that still can't be explained and feelings felt that still can't be named. This is a tale of two boys who live a strange and solitary love story. A book about the terrible things done with love, written with humor and fast-paced prose that takes Tambu and his sister Rebe, and Claudia and her brother Elvis, to the edge of a new world. 'God knows sorrow is more dangerous than hate because hate can destroy what it is that you hate, but sorrow destroys everything.'

Brilliant
Format: Hardcover
The First State of Being is a brilliant, highly readable middle grade book from the QUEEN of character-driven middle grade literature. This expansive sci-fi feels at once introspective and cinematic, leaping off the page like something made for a movie. This book will help young people and all readers reflect on our past and future as a human community, especially in terms of health advances, animal extinction, and the potential for technological development. It also highlights the love and fight in a mother and the need to view life through a positive lens by focusing most on the present, not our past or future.

Which Came First?
Format: Hardcover
Of course this won the Newberry award. From the first word, it reminded me of Donna Barba Higuera's The Last Cuentista. A plot so different and imaginative that you wonder how anyone could have thought of it and then carried it out. It's a story of a young boy who is trying to take care of the single mother who seems unable to take care of the family, through no fault of her own. It's a sci-fi fantasy. And it's a story of taking care of each other. At the totally satisfying end I found myself wondering about the chicken and the egg. Thinking I may have to read this one again to see if I can figure it out.

Well-written, twisty novel for middle school children
Format: Kindle
This is Kelly’s second Newbery Medal, the first being for *Hello, Universe* in 2018. Both are well-written novels for middle-grade children and should have a lot of appeal for that age.
It's the year 1999, early fall, an apartment complex in Delaware. 12-year-old Michael is worried that the Y2K bug will cause the collapse of civilization on January 1, 2000. He has been stealing cans of food to create an emergency stash under his bed. He has started a new school, and his only friends are the apartment complex maintenance man and his high-school-age after-school babysitter, Gibby. Michael’s father is dead, and his mother works long hours to make ends meet.
One day a strange kid shows up in the complex, dressed in unusual clothing and asking odd questions like, “What year is this?” It doesn’t take an experienced science fiction reader to suspect that this kid, Ridge, is from the future. He is interested in observing late 20th Century American culture. But he also wants Michael and Gibby to help him figure out how to get back to the future without interfering with the past and thus changing his own timeline. The 1999 part of the story is interspersed with notes about the future and the panicked dialog of Ridge’s family as they try to investigate what happened to him.
It probably doesn’t have many new ideas for adult readers, but it will be surprising and exciting for readers ages 12 and up
