Thirsty Ground by Kimber St. Lawrence, Union Square & co. 2025. A young astronaut must learn to survive on post-apocalyptic earth after he is paralyzed on a mission for water. It’s been thirteen decades since Tsimmaon left the Arid Planet in search of water, carrying only 1 percent of the human race in a bid to keep the species alive. There’s no one thirstier on that space ark than the young recruits eager to earn their spot on the elite Hydroseeker League and find the next water source. Seventeen-year-old Conway 12-1, the strongest moto-rover rider among his cadre, is just weeks from Hydroseeker initiation. Until one failed mission changes everything.

At Last She Stood: How Joey Guerrero Spied, Survived, and Fought for Freedom by Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly, HarperCollins Publishers USA 2025. "Anna and Elena Balbusso’s illustration and Sylvie Le Floc’h’s cover design for At Last She Stood: How Joey Guerrero Spied, Survived, and Fought for Freedom absolutely blew me away. It encapsulates every element of Joey’s story, down to the slightest detail. I’m constantly in awe of artists and designers. They think of things that would never occur to me and are able to tell so much through a single design or piece of art. It’s a true talent." Blog by John Schu @MrSchuReads
