West Africa (southern Ghana), 1860: Kofi Offin is an 11-year-old boy growing up in the Asante village where his father is king and his brother, Kwasi is a prince. It’s a good life until Kwasi accidentally kills another king’s nephew in an annual wrestling contest. There is a retaliatory kidnapping and not only is Kwasi taken, but Kofi is seized and sold to white men who march him and others to a castle by the sea where they are held in complete darkness. There is a ship, more white men, and a journey. Written in verse in the lyrical voice that is distinctly Kwame Alexander's, this powerful work of historical fiction is the first in a trilogy. We eagerly await the next. (Elementary)

What does it mean to be smart? Almost-high-school-freshman Karthik Ranghavan has spent most of his life hearing how smart he is – mostly because he’s good at remembering things. Karthik’s dad thinks he should use his memory to help the family grocery store by delivering groceries door-to-door over summer vacation. Karthik’s mom thinks he should use his memory to take summer STEM classes so that someday he can go to medical school, become a doctor, and save lives. But when a delivery job leads to Karthik meeting a playwriting student who’s looking for a young actor for her new play; Karthik begins to wonder if maybe his memory might be good for making art, too. What if being smart is all about taking on new challenges? (Elementary)

Harmony Music Camp is a place where young musicians come to improve their technique and learn to make music together. This is thirteen-year-old trumpeter Andrea “Andi” Bird’s first summer at camp, and she’s unsure about it – other people might not be able to hear it, but Andi knows she’s lost the soul of her sound since her mother’s unexpected death nearly a year ago. Thirteen-year-old flutist Zora Johnson is a regular, but as much as she loves Harmony Music Camp, she wonders whether her parents’ emphasis on her music is costing her the opportunity to explore other art forms that she loves – like dance. As the girls’ relationship deepens, they begin to share their stories – their struggles and their dreams – and imagine their future selves in this transformative summer story written in alternating chapters with poetic interludes offered by the spirit of Harmony Music Camp itself.

Gloria Mae Willard has lost just about everything to the Dust Bowl – her baby brother, her home, and maybe even her confidence in her father – but not her dream of playing baseball. Baseball is the main subject on Gloria Mae’s mind when the Willard family arrives at Santa Ana Holdsten Peach Orchard, where her parents hope to earn enough money picking peaches to buy some land of their own. But the bosses at the peach orchard aren’t interested in helping anyone make enough money to leave, and they’re even less interested in hearing what anyone has to say about it. Can Gloria Mae fight the power while fighting her way onto the boys-only baseball team? (Elementary)

As the Nazi empire expanded across Europe, toppling countries with rapid and stealthy attacks from the land, air, and sea, the key to their success – and defeat – lay in an encryption machine called the Enigma. The Enigma machine produced and deciphered complex, and ever-changing, codes that seemed impossible to decipher. This is the true story of how an international team of Allied spies, scientists, and mathematicians smuggled Enigma machines across borders, cracked the code, and defeated the Third Reich.
