Yay! Fun new books in the Young Readers’ Room!

September 25, 2022 By Pamela Martinez

Fall has arrived! Cooler temperatures and an earlier nightfall equal…extra time to read! Please find all of these new book suggestions on the “NEW BOOK” shelf in the Young Readers’ Room.

My first suggestion for your fall reading pleasure is “Maddie and Mabel,” written by Kari Allen and illustrated by Tatjana Mai-Wyss. A new series for beginning readers, this is a cute, sister sibling story written in an easy format. A typical big sister/little sister duo, Maddie and Mabel do so many activities together, including adventures and even getting into a disagreement…will they make up in time to continue their fun together, before bedtime? Check out this book quickly to find out the answer!

Who is a fan of “The Dragon Masters” series? Let me rephrase that, who hasn’t read “The Dragon Masters” series yet? The newest release, volume 22, is ready for your reading pleasure! “Guarding the Invisible Dragons” written by Tracey West is on the shelf, awaiting its first check-out! Can Drake and the crew of Dragon Masters locate the parents of a newly discovered nest filled with invisible dragons — before they lose their invisible powers? With a new non-binary character introduced to the team, The Dragon Masters continue to work together to accomplish their quest.

“Last Gate of the Emperor – The Royal Trials,” volume 2, is ready for you to check out! If you’ve read the first in the series: “Last Gate of the Emperor,” written by Kwame Mbalia, you’ll be running to the New Book shelf for this next installment! What more could you want in a book series besides Old Earth, pirates, adventure, and intergalactic travel? You’ll find all of these subjects and more in this series. Follow the main character, Yared, as he travels through time and space to accomplish his mission.

Bruce Hale has released another winning title: “Super Troop.” An outdoor adventure filled with rule breaking, or is it the rules breaking you?! Remember back to summer camp and the friend who you enjoyed hanging out with? In this story Cooper and his best friend, Nacho, 6th grade graduates, are looking forward to spending the summer at the best summer camp ever, until they break the rules at an amusement park…uh oh! Now their comic book summer camp plans have changed and they must attend a Boy Ranger camp. Not thrilled at this turn of events, the boys still manage to squeeze in a good time! This book, filled with blended families, middle grades, and boys and girls, will have you laughing at all of the antics these kids manage to get into!

Charlie Thorne is back for a third adventure written by Stuart Gibbs: “Charlie Thorne and the Curse of Cleopatra.” In the first two books of the series, Charlie dealt with Einstein and Darwin discoveries; this time around, Cleopatra is the focus. Will Charlie’s skills with history, math, and timeless adventure be enough to solve this new mystery? Check out this title today to find out!

The Youth Services Crew would be thrilled if you would stop by and let us know which of these titles you enjoyed the most! Let us know…we love a good mystery too!
