REVIEWS:
ANNIKA RIZ, MATH WHIZ: Franklin School Friends, Book #2 by Claudia Mills, illus. by Rob Shepperson
Horn Book, May/June 2014 issue
“After they decide to make lemonade instead, Annika uses her mad skills to show her number-hating friends they’re selling the lemonade at too low a price, proving that math can be useful, not to mention profitable.”
FRED’S BEDS by Barbara Samuels
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue
“Samuel’s cheery watercolor illustrations highlight the pup’s favorite napping spots, including “The Pile-of-Old-Newspapers Bed, “The Slightly-Soggy Bath-Towel Bed,” and “The Flower Bed.” In a funny twist, the only place Fred cannot sleep is in his new dog bed.”
LOVE LETTERS TO THE DEAD by Ava Dellaira
Horn Book, May/June 2014 issue
“Dellaira’s characters are authentically conceived and beautifully drawn. Teens meet situations of physical, sexual, and substance abuse with numbness, stoicism, and fury. Broken adults flail and try. With her epistolary confidants Laurel confronts the circumstances leading up to her sister’s death, and makes peace with her place in it. She learns that, however dark our secrets, the only way out from the shadows is to stand in the light.”
ONE MAN GUY by Michael Barakiva
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue
“[Alek is] a likable teen who remains true to himself throughout; he stands up for what he believes in, even if it means upsetting the people he cares about.”
QUEEN ON WEDNESDAY by Gabi Swiatkowska
Horn Book, May/June 2014 issue
“Imagination-rich…Thelma’s personality and the emotional arc of the narrative are conveyed by the illustrations, a series of surrealist-style paintings of a world where oddities such as a fish anchored by balloons sailing by the window appear.”
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue
“Swiatkowska’s stunning artwork offers readers a fantastic, somewhat surreal glimpse of a very imaginative girl.”

REVIEWS:
D-DAY by Rick Atkinson
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “This fine adaptation of Atkinson’s adult The Guns at Last Light is a readable, and even suspenseful, account of the final preparations for and successful execution of the D-Day invasion. The author gives readers a comprehensive overview of the operation, using primary-source excerpts to personalize the action, from the planning of the highest commanders, to the bravery shown by individual men who went ashore.”
NINJA! by Arree Chung
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “Follow the main character through comic-book-style panels as he moves with stealthlike precision, covertly navigating each room and the furniture, to fulfill his mission of capturing his prize: his sister’s snack…Laugh-out-loud fun. Prospective ninjas, take notice!”
BODY IN THE WOODS by April Henry
Publishers Weekly, April 21, 2014
“Henry is well within her wheelhouse with this tense mystery…The author’s expertise at plotting a murder mystery and knowledge of police procedure are evident as the novel moves through all the expected moments of a TV crime drama, building to a violent confrontation.”
DAYTIME NIGHTTIME by William Low
Publishers Weekly, April 21, 2014
“Different nocturnal and diurnal animals are featured throughout this art-driven primer, which is divided by the simple dichotomy of day and night…The bare-bones narrative and up-close imagery make a strong impact.”
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue
“A captivating concept book, a lovely introduction to the natural rhythms of the animal kingdom, and a sweet selection to share at the end of a busy day.”

REVIEWS:
THIS ONE SUMMER by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue: 4th STARRED REVIEW!
« “This captivating graphic novel presents a fully realized picture of a particular time in a young girl’s life, an in-between summer filled with yearning and a sense of ephemerality. The story resolves with imperfect hope and will linger in readers’ mind through changing seasons.”
ANDRE THE GIANT by Box Brown
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue
“This in-depth and well-researched look into the life of the memorable actor from The Princess Bride is interesting and complex. Drawing from number of different sources, Brown has constructed as complete a portrait of Andre the Giant as he possibly could.”
BATTLING BOY by Paul Pope
Shelf Awareness, April 22, 2014: “Stand Up Comics: Worlds Near and Far”
“[Pope] brings his trademark frenetic and incredibly detailed art style to Battling Boy.”
THE RETURN OF ZITA THE SPACEGIRL by Ben Hatke
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue
“The author’s wit and comic timing sparkle in this adventure. His motley collection of characters is an absolute delight, and each of their humorous exchanges are spot-on.”
GeekMom, April 9, 2014: “The Return of Zita Wins”
“That’s what this series is all about: You never know what to expect, and Zita doesn’t either. Yet, she knows that friends don’t give up on each other, and everyone should help the helpless, and her conviction changes the universe and every adorable creature she meets.”
THE SCULPTOR by Scott McCloud
New York Times Art Beat, April 23, 2014: “A Different Kind of Superpower”: BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT AND ART REVEAL!
“But with great power also comes a great deadline: his deal with the grim reaper gives him 200 days to leave his mark on the world. Despite the fantastical premise, the story is still very much ground in reality, and also a romance.”
ROARING BROOK PRESS HIGHLIGHTS
AWARDS:
· BAD KITTY SCHOOL DAZE by Nick Bruel / 2014 IRA Young Adults’ Choices List
**CONFIDENTIAL TO THE TRADE UNTIL MAY**
REVIEWS:
EMILY’S BLUE PERIOD by Cathleen Daly, illus. by Lisa Brown
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue: STARRED REVIEW!
« “A lovely, contemplative picture book… This book does a beautiful job of using the arts to show Emily’s process as she grieves, accepts, and adapts to the changes in her family.”
FROODLE by Antoinette Portis
School Library Journal, May 2014 issue
“Who could resist participating in fun like this?”
GRAVITY by Jason Chin
Horn Book, May/June 2014 issue
“The jacket’s fortuitous resemblance to the poster for the 2013 movie of the same name shouldn’t hurt this book’s chances, and, like the film, its images of space and the objects floating or falling therein are hypnotically arresting.”
Shelf Awareness, April 23, 2014
“The attention-grabbing cover acts as entry point into the hidden world that awaits readers in Jason Chin's most ambitious and successful foray into the scientific realm. The author-artist once again mixes familiar and surreal elements as he explains the concept of gravity in 60 words and a captivating sequence of images.”
