Steering Toward Normal
"Eighth grade is set to be a good year for Diggy Lawson: He’s chosen a great calf to compete at the Minnesota State Fair, he’ll see a lot of July, the girl he secretly likes at 4-H, and he and his dad Pop have big plans for April Fool’s Day. But everything changes when classmate Wayne Graf’s mother dies, which brings to light the secret that Pop is Wayne’s father, too. Suddenly, Diggy has a half brother, who moves in and messes up his life. Wayne threatens Diggy’s chances at the State Fair, horns in on his girl, and rattles his easy relationship with Pop. What started out great quickly turns into the worst year ever, filled with jealousy, fighting, and several incidents involving cow poop. But as the boys care for their steers, pull pranks, and watch too many B movies, they learn what it means to be brothers and change their concept of family as they slowly steer toward a new kind of normal."
Rebecca Petruck (Author), Chris Henry Coffey (Narrator)

"From the New York Times bestselling author of the Last Magician series comes a "searing and satisfying" (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade debut steeped in magical realism about a bird-loving boy who moves to the countryside where he encounters dangerous creatures invading through a rip in the sky. Xavier T. Fletcher is an Odd Duck. At least, that's what everyone in his sleepy little suburb seems to think. Luckily, birds happen to be the aspiring naturalist's favorite things, so he doesn't mind the label quite as much as you might expect. But when Xavier's father loses his job, everything changes. His family is forced to move to his Nana Susan's farm. There, he meets Clementine, a strange, messy girl who doesn't see him as an Odd Duck at all. Too bad she has the unfortunate habit of using her slingshot to hunt the birds he loves. Xavier's not sure what to think when Clem assures him that they aren't really birds. He's even less sure when he discovers that Clem isn't lying. The bird-like creatures come from the Rend, a tear in the sky between our world and the Nother's, and the objects they carry in their beaks from that cold, dark place are dangerous. It's up to Xavier and Clem to find a way to keep the creatures out of our world. But how can he protect the Rend when he suspects Clem hasn't told him the whole truth about what she's doing?"

Jacob Riis's Camera: Bringing Light to Tenement Children
"Jacob Riis was determined to improve the living conditions of the poor—to fill their dark, ramshackle places with sunlight and soft, green grass. Places where children could play. After immigrating to New York City and working as a news reporter, Jacob was deeply affected by the poverty surrounding him, especially in the tenements: • Cramped rooms bursting with too many people • Kerosene and mold stench choking the air • Children playing in filthy streets But how could Jacob inspire change? Using a special flash powder, Jacob Riis photographed the dark, overcrowded buildings and their impoverished residents, shining light in their rooms for the world to see—and changing the lives of tenement children and their families for the better."
