<p>Woodson won the National Book Award for this childhood memoir in verse. It begins with Woodson's birth in 1963. "I am born on a Tuesday at University Hospital / Columbus, Ohio, / USA – / a country caught / between Black and White."

<p><strong>West of the Moon</strong></p>
<p>Margi Preus</p>
<p>Amulet Books, $16.95; ages 10-14</p>

<p><strong>The Crossover</strong></p>
<p>Kwame Alexander</p>
<p>Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $16.99; ages 9-12</p>

<p>Karen Foxlee</p>
<p>Knopf, $16.99; ages 8-12</p>

<p>Megan J. Sovern</p>
<p>Chronicle Books, 220 pp., $16.99; ages 8-12</p>

Resolving to fix her father's illness, she discovers multiple sclerosis has no cure. Maggie's family copes with courage, humor and love, and readers will not only root for them, but believe in them. <em>-- Springstubb</em></p>

<p>Candace Fleming</p>
<p>Schwartz and Wade, $ 18.99, ages 9-12</p>
<p>No fiction is more fantastic than the true story of foolish Nicholas, fanatic Anastasia, and their five beautiful children. Geared toward middle-school readers, this superb account will also satisfy adults looking for an overview of this period of Russian history, when impoverished workers revolted, soldiers died by the millions, Lenin was on the rise, and the tsar, secluded in his opulent country palace, trusted in God to save his throne. <em>-- Springstubb</em></p>

<p><strong>Why We Took the Car</strong></p>
<p>Wolfgang Herrndorf</p>
<p>Arthur A. Levine Books, 256 pp., $17.99</p>
<p>Boys (and girls, too) will love this joy ride of a story, featuring German teens Mike and Tschick, who "borrow" a car to escape the boredom of summer break. Adventures – and misadventures – ensue, until they end up in police custody. Fasten your seatbelt for a rollicking read. <em>-- Susan Glaser</em></p>
<p><strong>We Were Liars</strong></p>
<p>E. Lockhart</p>
<p>Delacorte, 240 pp., $20.99</p>
<p>The protagonist of this story is Cady Sinclair, a member of an upper-crust New England family that spends its summers on a private island off the coast of Massachusetts. Cady, together with same-age cousins Johnny and Mirren and love interest Gat Patil, make up "the Liars," tightknit teens who share adventures – and one big surprise. At age 17, Cady returns to Beechwood Island to piece together the details of an accident two years prior. The result: An ending you won't see coming. <em>-- Glaser</em></p>
<p><strong>I'll Give You the Sun</strong></p>
<p>Jandy Nelson</p>
<p>Dial Books, 384 pp., $17.99</p>
<p>Twins Noah and Jude are the narrators of this tale, which alternates between their 13<sup>th</sup> and 16<sup>th</sup> years. In between: Their mother dies, their lives are upended and the two struggle to make peace with each other and the people around them. Their paths come back together at the end – but the real story is in the journey. <em>-- Glaser</em></p>
<p><strong>The Impossible Knife of Memory</strong></p>
<p>Laurie Halse Anderson</p>
<p>Viking, 391 pp., $18.99</p>
<p>Anderson, who has tackled date rape and eating disorders in previous works, turns her attention to post-traumatic stress disorder in this story about Hayley Kincain and her Iraq War vet father, Andy. Hoping for stability, the two return to Andy's hometown in upstate New York for Hayley's senior year of high school. Instead, the two are forced to deal with more chaos, including Andy's increasingly erratic behavior. A budding romance between Hayley and fellow high schooler Finn helps lighten the mood. Even so, Anderson maintains her status as one of the most serious storytellers in the young adult genre. <em>-- Glaser</em></p>
<p><strong>Dorothy Must Die</strong></p>
<p>Danielle Paige</p>
<p>HarperCollins, 464 pp., $17.99</p>
<p>Imagine that a second girl from Kansas was swept away to Oz after Dorothy left. But when Amy arrives, Oz is falling apart. The color is dull, and a huge hole in the middle of the land is getting bigger. What has happened to Oz? Short answer: Dorothy. Now it is up to Amy to fix things, and decide which of her unlikely companions are the most trustworthy. Is it the order of the wicked witches or the wingless flying monkeys, or both? Or are there other players in this game that we don't know about yet? I loved this book. <em>-- Ami Bray, Loganberry Books</em></p>
