This Light Between Us by Andrew Fucuda. In 1935, ten-year-old Alex Maki from Bainbridge Island, Washington is disgusted when he’s forced to become pen pals with Charlie Lâevy of Paris, France–a girl. He thought she was a boy. In spite of Alex’s reluctance, their letters continue to fly across the Atlantic–and along with them, the shared hopes and dreams of friendship. Until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the growing Nazi persecution of Jews force them to confront the darkest aspects of human nature. From the desolation of an internment camp on the plains of Manzanar to the horrors of Auschwitz and the devastation of European battlefields, the only thing they can hold onto are the memories of their letters. But nothing can dispel the light between them.

New School Library books in March 2023
The Sheep, the Rooster and the Duck is a new book that explores a historical setting with ten-year-old Emile who lives a staid but satisfying life as a house servant in eighteenth-century France, looking after a visiting Benjamin Franklin. Franklin keeps a treasured notebook in his study of in-progress inventions, and when Emile catches a mouse seemingly spying on his employer (clutching a tiny notebook and pencil in his paws), the boy follows the rodent to the secret lair of France’s most revered undercover guardians. To his astonishment, the accomplished secret agents are Jean-Luc, a duck of tactical genius; Bernadette, an exceptionally inventive sheep; and Pierre, a swashbuckling masked rooster. A gallant (human) aeronaut, Sophie, rounds out the remarkable team, and Emile is filled in on a nefarious scheme to swipe Franklin’s ideas and transform them into weapons. It’s up to the avant-garde assembly to foil the plot and save the world!
