The story behind the classic and universally recognized rhyme! Thisluminous picture book biography shines a light on the little-known poetand author of the beloved lullaby.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.Did you ever wonder who wrote that famous verse?

In the days when most girls were brought up to run a home, Jane Taylor had adifferent kind of education in the English countryside, where she was inspiredby nature and the stars, and dreamed of becoming a writer. But in the late1700s, it was not considered proper for women to be writers.

Her published poetrybecame universally known for generations to come: Twinkle, twinkle little star.

Poisoned WaterHow the Citizens of Flint, Michigan, Fought for Their Lives andWarned the Nationby Candy J Cooper and Marc Aronson

Based on original reporting by a Pulitzer Prize finalist and an industryveteran, the first book for young adults about the Flint water crisisIn 2014, Flint, Michigan, was a cash-strapped city that had been built up, thenabandoned by General Motors. As part of a plan to save money, governmentofficials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from LakeHuron to the Flint River. Within months, many residents broke out in rashes.Then it got worse: children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalizedwith mysterious illnesses; others died. Citizens of Flint protested that thewater was dangerous. Despite whatseemed so apparent from the murky, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city's faucets, officials refused to listen. Theytreated the people of Flint as the problem, not the water, which was actuallypoisoning thousands.Through interviews with residents and intensive research into legal recordsand news accounts, journalist Candy J. Cooper, assisted by writer-editor MarcAronson, reveals the true story of Flint. Poisoned Water shows not just howthe crisis unfolded in 2014, but also the history of racism and segregation thatled up to it, the beliefs and attitudes that fueled it, and how the people of Flintfought-and are still fighting-for clean water and healthy lives.

The Two Wrong Halves of Ruby Taylorby Amanda Panitch

Funny and poignant, Amanda Panitch's new middle-grade novel TheTwo Wrong Halves of Ruby Taylor is an exploration of mixed families,identity, hundred-year-old curses, and the terrifying challenge ofstanding up for yourself against your loved ones.

Of her two granddaughters, Grandma Yvette clearly prefers Ruby Taylor'sperfect - and perfectly Jewish - cousin, Sarah. They do everything together,including bake cookies and have secret sleep overs that Ruby isn't invited to.Twelve-year-old Ruby suspects Grandma Yvette doesn't think she's Jewishenough. The Jewish religion is matrilineal, which means it's passed down frommother to child, and unlike Sarah, Ruby's mother isn't Jewish.

But when Sarah starts acting out - trading in her skirts and cardigans forripped jeans and stained t-shirts, getting in trouble at school - Ruby can't helpbut be somewhat pleased. Then Sarah suddenly takes things too far, andRuby is convinced Sarah is possessed by a dybbuk, an evil spirit. . . that Rubymay or may not have accidentally released from Grandma Yvette's basement.Ruby is determined to save her cousin, but a dybbuk can only be expelled bya pious Jew." If Ruby isn't Jewish enough for her own grandmother, how canshe possibly be Jewish enough to fight a dybbuk?

Documenting everything from her boundary-pushing journalistic careerto the foundation of Ms. magazine to being awarded the 2013Presidential Medal of Freedom, Winifred Conkling's Ms. Gloria Steinem:A Life is a meticulously researched YA biography that is sure to satisfyeven the most voracious of aspiring glass-ceiling smashers.

Gloria Steinem was no stranger to injustice even from a young age.

Her mother, Ruth, having suffered a nervous breakdown at only 34, spentmuch of Gloria's childhood in and out of mental health facilities. And whenGloria was only 10 years old, her father divorced her mother and left forCalifornia, unable to bear the stress of caring for Ruth any longer.

Gloria never blamed her mother for being unable to hold down a job tosupport them both after that, but rather blamed society's intrinsic hostilitytoward women, and working women in particular. This was the spark that lit afire in her that would burn for decades, and continues to burn brightly today."

High school meets classic horror in this YA contemporary twist onRobert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde .Welcome to Hollow Pines, Texas, where high school is truly horrifying.Cassidy Hyde is NOT having a good year. Her boyfriend cheated on her, killedher best friend's date during homecoming, and was then murdered in turn by aserial killer - and that's not even counting that one thing that no one knowsabout. (But Cassidy doesn't like to think about that.) The point is, anyone inher situation would be a little depressed by recent events, and you can't blamea girl for needing a little bit of help. That's where Sunshine comes in. This newexperimental drug makes Cassidy feel like everything is good and she's thegolden girl once again. A little memory loss feels like a small price to pay toget her life back. And the fact that boys are once again going missing (boyswho Cassidy does NOT want to remember) has NOTHING to do withanything! Right?Thus begins Chandler Baker's Teen Hyde, a standalone volume in the HighSchool Horror series.Praise for Teen Hyde :Improves on the solid scares of Teen Frankenstein, making this new andtopical for any teen collection." - Booklist"The revenge story is unmatchable for drama." - The BulletinPraise for Teen Frankenstein :"A dose of atmospheric horror." - Publishers Weekly"There's a lot of humor - especially in Adam's not-too-successful attempts atimitating teen behavior. Tor is a prickly, unintentionally abrasive characterwhom some readers will find downright refreshing.
