OUT NOW: WHEN YOU’RE BRAVE ENOUGH
Out 4/7/2026 from Viking
When 13-year-old Lacey moves away from her overeager, worm-obsessed best friend Grace, she’s excited to reinvent herself, but prepping for her bat mitzvah and her new school’s musical, where she’s expected to kiss a boy, makes her question her true feelings for Grace and who she wants to be in the world.
*“[A] radiant debut…[A] relatable story of belonging and becoming.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
UP NEXT: HOW TO TAKE A RISK
Out 2/9/2027 from Viking
A heartfelt queer coming-of-age story about friendship, new siblings, and what it means to take a risk, perfect for fans of Almost Flying and Murray Out of Water.
The summer before seventh grade, adrenaline junkie Reagan is excited to be with her summer best friend, Zander, and cross every item off of their annual “Risk List,” a list of dares to complete across their coastal Maine town. But when Zander asks her to be his girlfriend and her mom tells her she’s pregnant after a past miscarriage, Reagan takes increasingly scary physical risks to avoid emotional ones.
“A glorious story about how a single summer can leave you wholly transformed.”
Chanel Miller, Newbery Honor-Winning Author of Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All
