Vivi Loves Science by Kimberly Derting, Shelli R. Johannes and Joelle Murray
If you’re a fan of the series that started with CeCe Loves Science, you’ll also love this one which is, just in-time for summer, beach themed. On a school trip to the beach, Vivi and her friend/lab partner learn about aquatic creatures, tide pools, and more.
The Verdigris Pawn by Alysa Wishingrad
This charming middle-grade fantasy takes place in the Land, where the heir to the throne learns the Land he calls home isn’t what it seems sets off, alongside two other children, to make things right.
Until next week!
