The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend By Dan Santat

Newbery Winner

The Crossover by Kwame Alexander

“Alexander has the swagger and cool confidence of a star player and the finesse of a perfectly in-control ball-handler…[He] brings the novel-in-verse format to a fresh audience with this massively appealing package for reluctant readers, athletes especially.” –The Horn Book Magazine
