Tom Angleberger is the author of the Origami Yoda titles, as well as The Qwikpick Papers and Inspector Flytrap trilogies. This month, he introduces another unconventional hero in Didi Dodo, Future Spy: Recipe for Disaster, launching a spinoff series of Inspector Flytrap. PW asked Angleberger about his new book. Q: Your books have been widely praised for getting non-readers reading. Is that rewarding to hear? A: I have a lot of sympathy for reluctant readers. There was a time when I was young when I couldn’t get into any book. When I write, I always try to prevent kids from getting stuck—I don’t want to lose any reader. I can’t slow them down with description. In the Didi Dodo books, no one ever stops movin more

Isabel Quintero, illus. by Zeke Peña. Kokila, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-525-55341-0 When Papi gets home from work in his gray truck, his daughter is ready for their ritual, a nightly motorcycle ride: “I run outside with both of our helmets.” Together, they zip through their California city, passing the market, the church, and murals that show “our history—of citrus groves and the immigrants who worked them.” Quintero and Peña conjure up the ride’s sights and sounds with sensory immediacy. more Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan, illus. by Hadley Hooper. Holiday House/Porter, $21.99 (64p) ISBN 978-0-8234-4170-9 Greenberg and Jordan continue their impressive series of artist biographies with an account of 20th-century sculptor Alberto Giacometti and his brother Diego. The two grew up in Switzerland, born only a year apart, Alberto artistic and introspective, Diego adventurous. Diego and his devotion to his brother emerge as the story’s most appealing elements in this fascinating retrospective. more Ulf Stark, illus. by Kitty Crowther, trans. from the Swedish by Julia Marshall.

Miserable, he asks his kindred-spirit grandson to help him briefly flee to his house in the Stockholm archipelago, where he has “one or two things to attend to.” With remarkable attention, the boy sees to all the details. more Jennifer Donnelly. Scholastic Press, $17.99 (352p) ISBN 978-1-338-26846-1 “Cinderella” has seen many variations, but few detail what happens beyond the royal marriage, and even fewer cast a light on Cinderella’s family. Printz Award-winning Donnelly does both in this feminist rendition that follows “ugly” stepsister Isabelle. Focusing on beauty’s many guises, what contributes to hatred and cruelty, and people’s power to take charge of their destinies, the retold fairy tale advocates autonomy and empowerment. more Erin Hahn.

In Sal and Gabi Break the Universe, the debut middle grade adventure by author Carlos Hernandez, the titular characters bond over family issues, Cuban food, and Sal’s ability to open portals between dimensions, which could conceivably destroy the universe. PW spoke with Hernandez about the origins of the book. Q: Your previous stories were aimed at adults. Did you ever plan to write for children? A: Actually, it wasn’t one of my aspirations. I have a PhD in English, and I always thought I’d end up writing literary science fiction or fantasy for a small audience, and if it was critically well-received, that would be okay with me. So it took me a while to think of what I’d write for [Disney’s Rick Riordan Presents imprint]. It turns out I’m a seventh grader at heart. You never know what’s inside you until you probe, and apparently, I had this 13-year-old kid waiting to get out as soon as he had the chance. more

Susan Choi, illus. by John Rocco. Putnam, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-399-17329-5 Making her children’s book debut, Pulitzer Prize finalist Choi pairs with Caldecott Honor-Award illustrator Rocco to deliver a numinous story about a family camping trip. On the way to a remote campsite at Mountain Pond, the narrator warily ruminates about starting first grade. But his negative thoughts dissipate when a smallish tiger emerges from the woods and asks if the family has an extra tent. more Jonathan Stutzman, illus. by Heather Fox. Holt, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-1-250-30317-2 Co-creators Stutzman and Fox open this outrageous story of planetary annihilation with a prediction: “On Friday, Llama will destroy the world.” The seriously silly tale then details a single week’s events, beginning with Llama’s consumption of “more cake than any llama should ever eat.” His indulgence is merely the “first mistake” in what turns out to be a domino effect of cascading errors. more Patricia MacLachlan. McElderry, $16.99 (128p) ISBN 978-1-5344-2959-8 Newbery Medalist MacLachlan again concisely and authentically conveys character and emotion in this novel about two siblings spending the summer on their grandparents’ Deer Island farm. When Louisa, almost 12 and a “secret writer,” resolutely tells her grandmother, Boots, “I hate change,” the wise woman replies that change can help “you find out who you are.” And change does, in fact, expand Louisa’s sense of self and connection with others. more Elizabeth Acevedo. HarperTeen, $17.99 (400p) ISBN 978-0-06-266283-5 In this stunning sophomore novel from National Book Award and Printz winner Acevedo, Afro–Puerto Rican and African-American Emoni, a high school senior, lives in Philadelphia with her two-year-old daughter and paternal grandmother, ’Buela. A talented cook, Emoni balances school, work at a local burger joint, and motherhood, with moments in the kitchen. But she’s not sure what to do with her passion, or after high school, until enrolling in a culinary arts elective. more Mariko Tamaki, illus. by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell.

Eisner Award-winning comics artist Faith Erin Hicks’ first work of young adult prose, Comics Will Break Your Heart, is named after a quote by legendary superhero artist Jack Kirby. The book explores the comics industry’s troubled history of exploiting its artists. Hicks spoke with us about creating a teen novel that incorporates what she loves, as well as what she hates, about the comics business. Q: You’re a highly regarded comics author and illustrator. Why the switch to full prose? A: I first developed the story in 2013. There’s a constant tension [for me] between comics being my job and also something I do for fun, and it being the thing that inspires me. I thought about making the book a graphic novel but to comment on the rocky history of the comics industry in the comic book format just felt unfair. So I wrote it as a prose novel. This novel is a story that I wanted to get off my chest. more

Cao Wenxuan, illus. by Yu Rong. Imprint, $18.99 (48p) ISBN 978-1-250-31006-4 It’s hot—Rong’s cut paper and pencil pictures show a huge yellow circle hanging low in the sky, and seven animals that live in the parched grasslands are desperate for shade. A tree in the distance promises relief, so the animals race to and fight over it. Hans Christian Andersen Medalist Wenxuan's exquisitely calibrated fable features a lyrically plainspoken voice, a vivid sense of atmosphere, and deftly choreographed moments of high drama and humor. more Jasmine Warga. HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray, $16.99 (352p) ISBN 978-0-06-274780-8 Written in first-person free verse, this timely book traces the internal journey of a young Syrian refugee adjusting to a new home and culture in the U.S. When violence erupts near their seaside city, Jude and her pregnant mother flee to Cincinnati to stay with Jude’s uncle and his family while her shopkeeper father and activist brother stay behind. Rhythmic lines distill Jude’s deepest emotions. more Lamar Giles, illus. by Dapo Adeola. Versify, $16.99 (304p) ISBN 978-1-328-46083-7 In his inventive middle grade debut, Giles riotously scrambles time, moving it backward, forward—and not at all. In the Virginia county that’s home to genial African-American cousins and renowned sleuths Otto and Sheed Alston, curious goings-on are commonplace, but on the last day of summer vacation, things “get stranger than usual”—by a lot. more S.E. Grove. Viking, $18.99 (352p) ISBN 978-0-451-47985-3 Emotions have dried up in this stripped-down sci-fi noir novel by Grove, in which people “wane”—lose their ability to experience feelings—around age 10, a benchmark that keeps getting younger. Logic and reason are king in Grove’s rich near-future world, where a Raymond Chandler-style narrative meets questions of ethics and technology. This fast-paced novel provides readers with a deep range of emotions while highlighting the importance of empathy, attachment, and emotional intelligence. more

Raschka understands the crucial role that fathers and father figures play in children’s lives, and he conveys it with childlike exuberance. more Gus Gordon. Roaring Brook, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-1-62672-350-4 This existential meditation by Gordon deals with some big questions. Two wide-eyed insects contemplate a red-orange peach that hangs suspended amid green leaves. They begin the discussion agreeably enough, but as others weigh in, attitudes shift to anxiety, then to fantasy, before spiraling into frank conflict: “ ‘That is MY peach!’ ‘No, it’s MY peach!’ ” more Gillian McDunn.
