Those Kids From Fawn Creek by Erin Estrada Kelly (AOC)

In this new novel from Newberry medalist and honoree Erin Estrada Kelly, a seventh grade class in a small town is thrown for a loop with the arrival of a new student, Orchid Mason.

The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill

From Kelly Barnhill, who won the Newberry for what is still one of my favorite classic middle grades The Girl Who Drank the Moon, comes this new novel. In a town facing a myriad of issues, their flashy mayor continues to avoid them while assuring the townspeople things are better than they are. When a child goes missing, the mayor immediately blames the Ogress who runs the Orphan House at the edge of town. The Orphans know it’s untrue, as the Ogress secretly delivers gifts to the townspeople, but they have to come up with a way to make the rest of town listen and see the real source of their problems.
