The Picks:

Night Librarian GN – Dial Books releases a new graphic novel adventure series. Twins Page and Turner have been going to their beloved New York City public library for years, since their parents are aways traveling for work, so they know all about the magic a library holds. Or, at least they thought they did. A secret mission involving their dad’s rare and valuable edition of Bram Stoker’s Dracula leads them to discover a world they’ve never known, featuring a mysterious Night Librarian, famous heroes and villains that have broken free from classic books, and an epic battle to save the library from total destruction! From Christopher Lincoln, the creator of the Billy Bones series, this new entry reads like Night at the Museum meets The Land of Stories. Middle grade readers will love this new series.

Wagnificent Volume 1 The Adventures Of Thunder And Sage GN – Roaring Brook Press debuts a new series that’s gone to the dogs! Thunder the dog likes to take naps by the sunny window, sniff around for hidden treats, play fetch, and get cuddles from her favorite human, Sage. She tries to be a good dog but can’t seem to stop herself from barking, digging, and chasing suspicious furballs around the yard, things she knows are wrong. But when her inner Wolf appears one day and reveals the truth that dogs are descended from wolves, Thunder is faced with a big question: does she remain the loyal pet to Sage or embrace the wild animal within? This heartwarming story about friendship and belonging will appeal to fans of Pawcasso and Animal Rescue Friends.
