A Feast for the Eyes
"Sawkill Girls meets Twin Peaks in a page-turning queer supernatural thriller, where four teens must track down a local cryptid that's feeding off secrets, before their own hidden truths are exposed. "Alex Crespo thrills with a meticulously crafted page-turner. A feast of twists, tension and secrets." -C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise On the dreary Oregon coast, an all-seeing beast-known as the Watcher-lies in wait. When Shay and her girlfriend, Lauren, get into a fight over whether to go public with their clandestine relationship, they awaken the creature. Although Lauren is badly injured, the girls escape with their lives but can't shake the feeling of the creature's eyes tracking them. Meanwhile, aspiring photographer Zoe is desperate to put together a portfolio worthy of earning a scholarship to attend art college. Her photography teacher praises her skill but urges her to select more daring subjects for her submissions-a tall task when Zoe's camera acts as a barrier between herself and the rest of the world. As rumors swirl about Lauren's injuries, Shay remains steadfast in that the Watcher is to blame, not her. She asks for Zoe's help in snapping a photo of the local legend. Proof would help Shay clear her name and certainly be daring enough for Zoe's scholarship. Together with their friends Jack and Parker, they set out to expose the Watcher before its ever-creeping eyes cast the secrets they're all keeping from the town-and one another-into the light. Eerily atmospheric and as piercing as a pair of eyes on the back of your head, Alex Crespo's LGBTQ+ supernatural thriller is a poignant story about the prices we pay to keep our secrets hidden-sometimes for good reason. Through creeping tension and mounting horror, readers will furiously turn the pages with their breaths held."

Three teen girls compete at an elite tennis tournament for a shot at their dreams-if only they knew what their dreams were. Alice is on her own for the first time. She has no coach. No friends. Not even clothes that meet the Bastille Invitational's strict dress code. There's only the steady drumbeat of guilt inside-pressure to make the tournament's costly expense "worth it" in the wake of Ba's unexpected passing. But will a win on court justify the price she paid to get here? Violetta is Bastille's darling: social media influencer, coach's pet, and daughter of a former tennis star who fell from grace. Bastille is her chance to reclaim the future her mother gave up to raise her. But is that what she wants for herself? Leylah hasn't competed in two years, thanks to a back-stabbing ex-friend.

Together: A First Conversation About Love
"An audiobook edition of the board book about love, relationships, and families, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way. Now in audio! Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language and beautiful imagery that young children can grasp and adults can leverage for further discussion. While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about issues like love, relationships, and families from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. This fourth book in the series begins the conversation on love with a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. With a simple and interactive style, this audiobook also includes additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion."
