Tynion IV, James. (2017). The Backstagers: Volume 1: Rebels Without Applause. Los Angeles: BOOM! Box.
[Umm... this one is just... odd. Not really at all what I was expecting.]
STARTED:
Haydu, Corey Ann. (2017). The Someday Suitcase. New York: Katherine Tegen/HarperCollins.
[Her last middle grade book, Rules for Stealing Stars, came out during my Newbery year and was one of my favorites - so much so that I read it a couple of times. It STILL lingers in my mind, even 2 years later. There's just something viscerally affecting about it. It's will definitely be one that I return to from time to time.]
