The chalk man : a novel

C. J. Tudor

FICTION Tudor, C. J.
Suspense

1986: Eddie and his friends spend their days biking around their sleepy English village and looking for any taste of excitement they can get. The chalk men are their secret code: little chalk stick figures they leave for one another as messages. When a mysterious chalk man leads them right to a dismembered body, nothing is ever the same. 2016: Eddie thinks he's put his past behind him. But then he gets a letter in the mail, containing a single chalk stick figure. His friends got the same message, and they think it's a prank... until one of them turns up dead. What really happened all those years ago?

The summer of 1986 changes the lives of five friends in ways they don't realize until 30 years later when it seems like nothing is forgotten. -Meredith

Ocean meets sky

Terry Fan

jE Fan
Picture Books

"A little boy builds a ship to honor his late grandfather and sets sail for the magical place where ocean meets sky from his grandfather's stories"--

Now that I’ve taken this journey a few times, what really speaks to me is Finn’s growing understanding of what it means to remember those that we have loved. How we can bring those things they have taught us to the present while also saying goodbye. This is a visually and emotionally stunning piece from the Fan Brothers. -Casey

Teen Titans go! to the movies

jDVD FICTION Teen
Animation

The Teen Titans set out for Hollywood stardom and are sidetracked by a villain intent on world domination.

This movie is ridiculous in the most amazing ways--easily the best DC movie of the last decade. Also, lots of musical numbers including the appropriately titled "Inspirational Song" sung by Michael Bolton. -Brian
