About Featured Book: American Familia by David A. Morales

Dream Big. Become More.

Told as a conversation between David and his two sons, American Familia is David’s story of growing up in rural poverty in Puerto Rico and urban poverty in the United States, detailing hopeful and transformative life-lessons along the way.

This is also his family’s story: one of faith, grit, and empowerment. Part memoir and part rallying cry, this book encourages discounted youth with a vision of hope that they, too, can transcend their environment and situation—and achieve more, be more, and become more. David’s story provides guidance on how to overcome challenges in the face of great pressure and gives direction on how to develop purpose and embrace opportunities with courage and personal responsibility.

The Elegant Emu by Karen M. Bobos

The magical sisters are enrolled in an etiquette class when their manners are not fit for the king and queen of the enchanted land of Harmony. Can Elizabeth the Emu help the royal sisters?

In the beautiful and peaceful land of Harmony, three magical sisters and royal daughters of the land, uproot the kingdom’s tranquility with some not-so-polite actions —nose-picking, belching, and other noisy…expulsions. Their parents, the King and Queen, enroll the sisters in the elegant Elizabeth the Emu’s etiquette class where they learn manners and other ways to self-improve like being on time, politeness, and proper personal hygiene.

Elizabeth the Emu explains to Angel Scarlet, Princess Daphne, and Fairy Cora that having proper etiquette is more than good manners, it’s about being kind and courteous. And for the sisters? Well, let’s just say that they will be needing more than one lesson from Elizabeth the Emu’s etiquette class.

Ryan Wakefield has worked primarily as a graphic artist for the last 20 years, but he always dreamt about creating a fantasy world young readers can escape to. Since grade school, he was fascinated with animal hybrids. He loved the idea of blending two or three animals together to create a magnificent new species. This fascination and his love for fantasy inspired him to fulfill his lifelong dream to breathe life into a new world middle grade readers can explore – Jumbalot.

He’s also the proud co-parent of a silly pug named Lily, and a sometimes difficult feline named Rocky. The book’s protagonist, Alby, is based on Ryan’s first pet: an oversized black and white housecat named Albert. The only thing larger than Albert’s appetite was his heart and he is sorely missed. Also, the character of Queen Lola was based on his wife’s first pug named Lola. Sadly, Lola recently succumbed to poor health and will also be deeply missed.

Ryan and his wife encourage everyone to open their hearts and their homes to adoptable pets.

About Charlie’s Story

It’s an understatement to say that 1974 has ended badly for 19-year-old Charlie Seldon.

He’s been sent up to Sockanossett on his third strike and it’s guaranteed he’ll remain here until his 21st birthday. The girl he was partying with—his best friend Angie—is dead of a heroin over-dose and there’s no denying it was his fault even if he wasn’t the one who gave her the drugs. His dad appears to have washed his hands of his screw-up of a son. And Sockanossett’s superin-tendent, Bagliarini, has made it clear that Charlie’s final stint in juvie will be more than miserable. Which maybe Charlie deserves.

Then his buddy David brings him a fateful letter from Val Pinney, the stacked girl from high school chorus who’s hung up on Charlie. Sure, he’s gotten down with her a few times because she was there and willing, but fatherhood was never part of Charlie’s very limited plans. Now he’s almost glad to be locked up.

But when he learns that Val and the child she’s carrying are in even worse trouble than he is, Charlie’s surprised to find he’s suddenly more worried about them than himself.

Charlie’s Story recounts a young man’s journey as he works through past and present grief to come to terms with his feelings, to see himself through the eyes of those who believe in him, and to transform the juvenile delinquent he’s been into a man of character.
