Sink your teeth into a good #BookFaceFriday!
Cue the Jaws theme song! This week’s #BookFace, “Shark Teeth” by Sherri Winston (Bloomsbury, 2024) was 1 of 193 titles featured in School Library Journal’s “Best Books of 2024.” A middle grade novel, geared towards readers in grades 5 and up, it’s the heart-wrenching tale of a young girl trying to keep her family together at any cost. The topics covered are heavy ones, but sadly very real issues for many kids.
“Driven by an intelligent and complex protagonist, this courageous story about strength in the face of neglect, and the bravery to demand what is best of one’s family and oneself, is potent and powerful.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
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.
