YA: 23 MINUTES
by Vivian Vande Velde
April 5

Picture
15-year-old Zoe ducks into a bank simply to get out of the rain and witnesses a robbery gone horrifyingly wrong. The good news is that Zoe has a unique ability: she can play back time and repeat events. But it's not an unlimited deal -- she can only jump 23 minutes, and her first playback creates an even more disastrous outcome. Zoe has only 10 tries to get it right before this particular 23 minutes becomes irreversible. In the process of trying to become the heroine she doesn't believe she can be, Zoe learns about herself and realizes that there is more to who she is than she thought. Gripping, breakneck pace, ideal for reluctant readers!

MG: WEEKENDS WITH MAX AND HIS DAD

Acclaimed author Linda Urban deftly portrays a third-grader's inner world during a time of transition in this sweet and funny illustrated story that bridges the early reader and middle grade novel. From the PW *starred* review: "Urban's subtle and perceptive take on divorce will resonate with children facing similar predicaments as she blends Max's worries and someone-sitting-on-his-chest feelings with a vivid imagination and good intentions that take father and son on some very entertaining adventures with future ones planned."
