The Girl Who Wrote in Silk
By Kelly Estes
In this parallel narrative taking place more than 100 years apart, we learn the stories of two young women, Seattle-born Chinese Mei Lein, whose life took tragic turns, and Inara Erickson, a recent college-grad who has inherited her family estate from her aunt. While cleaning her new house on Orca’s Island, Inara discovers in a secret compartment behind a stair a beautiful embroidered silk sleeve which seems to tell a story. She contacts a professor of Chinese culture on the mainland to try to learn more. As Inara and the charming Daniel Chin collaborate to solve the mystery of the sleeve, Inara learns secrets that could destroy her family’s reputation, as well as her budding relationship.

Waylon! One Awesome Thing
By Sara Pennypacker
This is the first book in a new chapter series featuring a fourth grader with a passion for science. Fans of the Clementine series will be thrilled with this new series to explore, but it is not necessary to have read the Clementine series first. Waylon is not a sequel but is definitely a spin-off since Waylon is Clementine’s science-obsessed classmate. Both boys and girls ages 7- 9 will appreciate this intelligent and thoughtful character.
