Control Freaks
J. E. Thomas
Happy book birthday, Jan Thomas and Khadijah @LVanBrakle. I read an early copy of CONTROL FREAKS and loved it-STEM Olympics meets Mr. Lemoncello's Library. And I'm looking forward to checking out FATIMA TATE, from a talented author I met through several workshops. Congrats, both! https://t.co/KMp2hu9jD9

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The End
Lemony Snicket
Kidlit friends -- I'm looking for examples of steadfast characters in YA fiction--the rare character who is ostensibly unchanged by the end of the story. For example, Ferdinand the Bull (picture book) and the Lemony Snicket kids (middle grade). Any YA/teen examples come to mind?

Infinity and Me
Kate Hosford
@LaurelSnyder Not sure if this qualifies, but Infinity and Me by Kate Hosford and Gabi Swiatkowska kind of sort of occupies the abstract space of infinity for kids in a way that I love.

The Willoughbys

@LKLiterary I always recommend Arte Johnson’s reading of Lois Lowry’s The Willoughbys, which he made extra hilarious.
