THE FUSE

This summer is an exciting one for kidlit new releases because so much fantastic stuff is being published soon that creating a list of only nine felt like an impossible task. But here I am, persevering to bring you info on just a tiny fraction of July’s new releases. I tried to capture a range of cool titles: stories about ghosts and FOMO, a soccer team, historical figures, and a tech club. There are books for your surrealism-loving kiddo and an upcoming biographical title if your little human is a history nut. I’m especially enthused to read the latest releases by a number of well-loved authors and illustrators, like Sophie Blackall, Phoebe Wahl, Oliver Jeffers, and Kobi Yamada.
