Words burn bright in this joyful celebration of rap, creativity, and self-expression. “Welcome to the cypher! Now huddle up nice and snug. You feel that circle around you? Well, that’s a hip hop hug!” Starting with beatboxes and fingersnaps, an exuberant narrator introduces kids in his community to the powerful possibilities of rap, from turning “a simple phrase/into imagery that soars” to proclaiming, “this is a voice that represents me!” As Khodi Dill’s rhymes heat up, the diverse crew of kids—illustrated in Awuradwoa Afful’s bold, energetic style—gain self-confidence and a sense of freedom in this wonderful picture book debut that is perfect for reading aloud.

As the 1939-1945 war slows to a clumsy halt, a trembling world holds out its arms to welcome peace back home again. Alice Fairley, her friends and her family are surprised to find themselves so unprepared for peacetime. In a way, it's like starting all over again: all the things one was confident about have disappeared or changed shape somehow, while things which were acceptable, or even pleasant, now seem different, dull, irksome. Noisy whispers of spy-rings and foreign conspiracies provoke shockwaves of malice and stinging intolerance. The world has grown up. Quickly, they discover that the battle is not over yet . . . persistent spectres of duty and guilt pick their victims indiscriminately.

A twist-filled thriller about a dark and deeply buried secret by an “accomplished” master of suspense (Publishers Weekly). After his mother was drowned at sea, young Robert—a child prodigy at bridge—was raised by her four sisters: Jacqueline, Peggy, Catherine, and Sadie. Despite their indifference and neglect, Rob developed his skills until he is head and shoulders above his adult competition, destined to become a Grand Master. What he didn’t know was that his aunts have made a solemn pact never to reveal exactly how his mother died. As an adult, Rob has become a celebrity bridge genius and his aunts have died one by one. The new woman in his life is an ambitious reporter named Rosalyn. As Rob’s star continues to rise, Rosalyn struggles with jealousy—and craving fame as a journalist, she digs and digs until she discovers the secret of the pact that Rob’s aunts swore to each other. And it will have devastating consequences . . .
