Jordan Banks is a seventh grader starting a new school, not the art school he was hoping for, and also not the one all his neighborhood friends go to. His parents are sending him to a private school known for it’s academic excellence, and he is one of the few kids of color to attend. Jordan has to learn how to find his place, and be true to himself, in both his new school, and with the new dynamic he has with his friends at home.This book tackles many issues, such as racism, bullying, and fitting in, with great style and a lot of humor. It’s a great addition to the graphic novel genre. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty

A wonderfully written and accessible book, that covers the lives of many sea birds; fulmar, puffin, guillemots, for example. We are introduced to the rich lives these birds lead, the way they feed, play, socialize, and their relationships with each other and their watery world. Nicolson voices the cry of our ocean birds to their plight, and dwindling numbers. This is a beautiful book, but also a brutal one, revealing all the ways we are harming our wildlife, whether deliberately, or by way of apathy. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
