New Releases Week of June 1, 2020

This post is a bright spot for the week. It's great to see so many new titles being released tomorrow.

My Summer of Love and Misfortune by Lindsay Wong Simon Pulse

Iris Wang is having a bit of a rough start to her summer. In an attempt to snap her out of her funk, Iris’s parents send her away to visit family in Beijing, with the hopes that Iris will “reconnect with her culture” and “find herself.” Iris resents her parents’ high-handedness, but even she admits that this might be a good opportunity to hit the reset button.

Iris expects to eat a few dumplings, meet some of her family, and visit a tourist hotspot or two. What she doesn’t expect is to meet a handsome Mandarin-language tutor named Frank and to be swept up in the ridiculous, opulent world of Beijing’s wealthy elite, leading her to unexpected and extraordinary discoveries about her family, her future, and herself. — Cover image and summary via Goodreads

Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon illustrated by Ashley Lukashevsky Penguin Workshop

In Beyond the Gender Binary, poet, artist, and LGBTQIA+ rights activist Alok Vaid-Menon deconstructs, demystifies, and reimagines the gender binary.

Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today’s leading activists and artists. In this installment, Beyond the Gender Binary, spoken word poet Alok Vaid-Menon challenges the world to see gender not in black and white, but in full color. Taking from their own experiences as a gender-nonconforming artist, they show us that gender is a malleable and creative form of expression. The only limit is your imagination. — Cover image and summary via Goodreads

You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson Scholastic Press

Liz Lighty has always believed she’s too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it’s okay — Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor.

But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz’s plans come crashing down . . . until she’s reminded of her school’s scholarship for prom king and queen. There’s nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington.

The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She’s smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams . . . or make them come true? — Cover image and summary via Goodreads

Court of Miracles (A Court of Miracles #1) by Kester Grant Knopf Children’s

In the violent urban jungle of an alternate 1828 Paris, the French Revolution has failed and the city is divided between merciless royalty and nine underworld criminal guilds, known as the Court of Miracles. Eponine (Nina) Thénardier is a talented cat burglar and member of the Thieves Guild. Nina’s life is midnight robberies, avoiding her father’s fists, and watching over her naïve adopted sister, Cosette (Ettie). When Ettie attracts the eye of the Tiger–the ruthless lord of the Guild of Flesh–Nina is caught in a desperate race to keep the younger girl safe. Her vow takes her from the city’s dark underbelly to the glittering court of Louis XVII. And it also forces Nina to make a terrible choice–protect Ettie and set off a brutal war between the guilds, or forever lose her sister to the Tiger. — Cover image and summary via Goodreads

A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow Tor Teen

Tavia is already at odds with the world, forced to keep her siren identity under wraps in a society that wants to keep her kind under lock and key. Never mind she’s also stuck in Portland, Oregon, a city with only a handful of black folk and even fewer of those with magical powers. At least she has her bestie Effie by her side as they tackle high school drama, family secrets, and unrequited crushes.

But everything changes in the aftermath of a siren murder trial that rocks the nation; the girls’ favorite Internet fashion icon reveals she’s also a siren, and the news rips through their community. Tensions escalate when Effie starts being haunted by demons from her past, and Tavia accidentally lets out her magical voice during a police stop. No secret seems safe anymore—soon Portland won’t be either. — Copy image and summary via Goodreads

A Song of Wraiths and Ruin (A Song of Wraiths and Ruin #1) by Roseanne A. Brown Balzer + Bray

The first in an fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore in which a grieving crown princess and a desperate refugee find themselves on a collision course to murder each other despite their growing attraction.

For Malik, the Solstasia festival is a chance to escape his war-stricken home and start a new life with his sisters in the prosperous desert city of Ziran. But when a vengeful spirit abducts Malik’s younger sister, Nadia, as payment into the city, Malik strikes a fatal deal—kill Karina, Crown Princess of Ziran, for Nadia’s freedom.

But Karina has deadly aspirations of her own. Her mother, the Sultana, has been assassinated; her court threatens mutiny; and Solstasia looms like a knife over her neck. Grief-stricken, Karina decides to resurrect her mother through ancient magic . . . requiring the beating heart of a king. And she knows just how to obtain one: by offering her hand in marriage to the victor of the Solstasia competition.

When Malik rigs his way into the contest, they are set on a course to destroy each other. But as attraction flares between them and ancient evils stir, will they be able to see their tasks to the death? — Copy image and summary via Goodreads

Family of toddler fighting cancer overjoyed by support from Lee’s Summit football team

LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. — The arrival of October means high school football games begin to get serious.

The sense of urgency to help the family of a sick child is even stronger at Lee’s Summit High School.

Their Friday night battle against neighboring rival Lee’s Summit North was played as part of Siege for the Cure, an effort organized by the Tiger Football program, to help local families of life-threatening illnesses.

Step inside a waiting room at Children’s Mercy Hospital, and you’ll meet a blonde-haired beauty that will melt anyone’s heart.

“She loves Moana and Trolls,” said Ashley Henry, whose daughter Stella Henry, is winning the battle for her life.

Oncologists at Children’s Mercy say little Stella, who is only 22 months old, is in remission, having endured surgery to remove a baseball-sized brain tumor in July.

Stella Henry

She’s still receiving chemotherapy through a port in her chest, in addition to regular MRIs, which according to Ashley, show no sign of cancer in the toddler.

“We’ve been through everything and every emotion you can imagine,” Ashley Henry said Friday morning. “She is so strong. So resilient. You wouldn’t know, looking at her, that she’s been through all this.”

The Henrys said they never expected a streak of Tigers would swoop in to assist them. When the mother of one of Lee’s Summit High’s football players mentioned the Henrys, Tiger coaches named her this year’s recipient of Siege the Cure.

Lee’s Summit, along with Ray-Pec, Liberty and Lee’s Summit North high schools, have spent the past few seasons generating support and money for families facing horrific illnesses.

“No kid should ever have to go through that. It’s unfair,” said Eric Thomas, Lee’s Summit coach.

Thomas understands cancer’s toll. His wife, Carla, is a breast cancer survivor.

On Friday, Tiger players wore special pink jerseys that showed the names of 115 local people with various forms of cancer, including one for Miss Stella.

“If our kids can take anything out of that, it’s: you don’t have things so hard. Going to football practice should be fun. It’s not hard. Think about what some of these people go through just to save their own lives,” Thomas said.

You can learn more about Siege the Cure by following this link to the Lee’s Summit Football website.
