FOX AND CHICK book 1: THE PARTY
by Sergio Ruzzier
Chronicle, April 17

An early reader in comic form! Fox and Chick don't always agree. But Fox and Chick are always friends. With sly humor and companionable warmth, Sergio Ruzzier deftly captures the adventures of these two seemingly opposite friends. The luminous watercolor images showcased in comic-book panel form will entice emerging readers, while the spare text and airiness of the images make this early chapter book accessible to a picture book audience as well.

YA: 23 MINUTES
by Vivian Vande Velde
April 5

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!
