"U.S. immigration policies complicate a relationship between two queer San Antonio, Tex., teens in this fervent drama by Garza Villa (Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun). When not working at their tita&rsquo;s taqueria, called Lupe&rsquo;s, 19-year-old nonbinary Mexican American artist Ander Mart&iacute;nez spends their time painting murals throughout the neighborhood. After they spot new hire Santiago taking a selfie with one of Ander&rsquo;s creations, they&rsquo;re immediately drawn to him. Despite Ander&rsquo;s mother&rsquo;s protestations against the teens getting involved, Ander and Santi pursue a blissful romantic relationship, one that allows Ander to open up about conflicting feelings surrounding their art and future goals. Following a harrowing run-in with ICE agents, Ander worries about what Santi&rsquo;s undocumented status could mean for their relationship. As Ander and Santi try to figure out what comes next for them, a devastating incident threatens to separate them for good. Through the teens&rsquo; tender courtship and Ander&rsquo;s identity exploration, as depicted through descriptions of their unapologetically queer and Mexican art, Garza Villa provides a critical examination of government surveillance and its effect on immigrant residents in this blistering tale of enduring love and communal care. Ages 14&ndash;up. Agent: Claire Draper, Bent Agency."(May) Publishers Weekly

Nervous Breakthrough: Finding Freedom from Fear and Anxiety in a World That Feeds It

"In this affecting entry from Henry (Once upon a Wardrobe), a woman stumbles onto a lead in the decades-old cold case of her sister&rsquo;s disappearance. It&rsquo;s 1960, and Hazel Linden is astonished when the bookstore she works at is shipped a volume entitled Whisperwood, which depicts a fantasy realm Hazel dreamed up as a teenager and shared only with her younger sister. Twenty years ago, 14-year-old Hazel and five-year-old Flora were evacuated from London during WWII and took refuge in the idyllic Oxford countryside with Bridie Aberdeen and her teenage son, Harry. There, Hazel told Flora stories about Whisperwood, a make-believe world where the two could seek comfort. Months into their evacuation, Flora disappeared and was presumed drowned in the River Thames. Back in the novel&rsquo;s present, Hazel, still haunted by her sister&rsquo;s disappearance, embarks on a faith-fueled, sometimes-reckless quest to discover if her sister might still be alive, one that involves tracking down the American author of the book and visiting Bridie and Harry for the first time since Flora&rsquo;s disappearance. Though framed by a mystery, Henry&rsquo;s offering shines most in its exploration of the ways relationships grow and adapt to time and trauma, making for a poignant meditation on the bonds of sisterhood. This captivates."(May) Publishers Weekly
