Miss Congeniality meets #BookFace!
Practice your pageant wave with this week’s #BookFaceFriday, “Miss Liberty” by Erin Moonyeen Haley (Storytide, 2025), a novel for 3-7 graders. Hailed as Dumplin’ meets the small-town drama of Gilmore Girls, this fun fourth of July read is the perfect summer read for kids.
“In this heartfelt debut, Haley sensitively portrays a character who’s struggling to hold on to the comfort of the familiar while contending with fear regarding an uncertain future. Savvy’s personal ambitions collide with her desire to support her sister’s efforts making for engaging, relatable familial and internal drama.”

The Nebraska Library Commission receives a large number of children’s and young adult books sent to us as review copies from book publishers. When our Children and Young Adult Library Services Coordinator, Sally Snyder, is done with them, the review copies are available for the Library System Directors to distribute to school and public libraries in their systems. You can see some of her favorites of the past year in the recent NCompass Live webinar episodes: Best Teen Reads of 2024 and Best Children’s Books of 2024.
