Taxi Ghost GN – Random House Graphic releases a new title from the creator of the Witches of Brooklyn series. With all of her friends traveling to warmer climates over winter break, Adele just wants to spend hers at the library cozied up with her favorite books. As it turns out, life has other ideas. She gets her first period, and along with it, she learns she comes from a long line of mediums! As if that wasn’t surprising enough, not only can she see ghosts, but she can also interact with them. And since the ghosts have been using her sister’s car to get around the city, seemingly for years, she can’t get them to leave her alone. But as she gets to know them and their problems, Adele starts to think, maybe helping them out is just what she needs to spice up her winter break! This story about the power of compassion and community is the perfect addition to any middle school collection.

Hearing Things A Toon Book HC – Toon Books releases a spooky graphic novel for emerging readers. Tim and his big sister Martha have just moved to a new neighborhood. Tim likes to go on adventures with this cat Frankie and record the sounds he hears. Martha likes to make scary music, but ever since the move, nothing has gone right. She thinks her music stinks, and she worries she may never have friends again! Tim, wanting to help his big sister, goes on a quest to find some bone-chilling sounds so Martha can finish her song. But there doesn’t seem to be any, not even at the block’s haunted house. Just when Tim is ready to give up, Frankie, along with some new, unexpected friends, help him find a way. Filled with supernatural fun, young readers will love this spooky tale.
