Lots of great titles from Scholastic are hitting the shelves this fall, bringing the promise of adventure to our young readers. We wanted to give you a preview of the books you can look forward to, so we invited some of our authors to read aloud. First, Tami Charles reads All Because You Matter (https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/book/all-because-you-matter-9781338574852/), her love letter to Black and brown children. (2:31) Next, Christina Soontornvat takes us inside the pages of Icing on the Snowflake (https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/book/icing-on-the-snowflake-by-christina-soontornvat/), the latest title in her popular chapter book series, Diary of an Ice Princess. Christina’s adventures for elementary school readers start with a simple premise: What if Frozen’s Elsa went to regular school? If you have any Elsa fans in your house, this is the series for them! (6:41) We also hear from Brazilian author Vitor Martins. He shares an excerpt from his new queer romance, Here the Whole Time. This story about the magic of first love explores the insecurities that many teens feel around body image. (11:12) Then, Kara McDowell reads from her new novel for young adults, One Way or Another. It’s a poignant story about a girl who learns to face her debilitating anxieties as she navigates a relationship with her best friend and longtime crush. (17:55) For 8- to 12-year-olds who enjoy horror and spooky mysteries, Daka Hermon reads from her suspense-filled debut, Hide and Seeker (https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/book/hide-and-seeker-by-daka-hermon/). (25:39) Last but not least, middle-grade favorite Kelly Yang reads the opening pages of Three Keys (https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/book/three-keys-by-kelly-yang/), the highly-anticipated sequel to her debut best-seller, Front Desk (https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/book/front-desk-9781338157826/).
