This edition of LJ’s thrice-yearly list of top debut novels covers the spring/summer season, including some key April titles but focusing on especially promising works published from May through August and stretching to include two exciting September titles. Together, they reflect the strengths of publishing today and serve as a good starting point for collection development.

By NCTE Excellence in Children’s Poetry Award Committee
 
The NCTE Excellence in Children’s Poetry Award Committee has recognized 21 exceptional books of poetry and nine novels in verse in their annual list. Read and evaluated by each member of the committee, these books published in 2021 are notable for their use of language, their poetic devices, and their application to children ages three to 13.

Essential titles reviewed in our April 2022 print issue, spanning audio, mystery and suspense, SF/fantasy, graphic novels, reference, and more.

Powerful women artists, poetry choices, and riveting historical fiction are featured in this month’s starred works.

Librarian Irina Kurylec (Ukrainian Library at the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center in Jenkintown, PA) suggests titles in history, political science, graphic novels, poetry, and literature for U.S. library patrons looking to read about the history of Ukraine and recent events in the country.

Graphic novel authors Kim Hyun Sook and Ryan Estrada, who wrote about Kim’s experience in a banned book club in South Korea in the 1980s, now find their book relevant to U.S. students.

The award-winning graphic novelist squares off against a student superfan in this all-new episode of the online game show.

Middle grade and YA authors including Joy McCullough, Reem Faruqi, and others discuss the power of verse to address emotional topics and craft innovative narratives.
