The Gothamites
by Eno Raud (Author), Priit Pärn (Illustrator), and Adam Cullen (Translator)

Booktalk: In a faraway land live a bright, industrious people called the Gothamites. They are known for being model citizens, so much so that other communities constantly call upon them for advice, leaving the Gothamites with no time for themselves. Fed up, they hit on a solution: they’ll become the most foolish people around: after all, no one wants foolish advice. Chaos ensues in this short story collection from Estonia.

When Sue Found Sue: Sue Hendrickson Discovers Her T. Rex
by Toni Buzzeo (Author) and Diana Sudyka (Illustrator)

Booktalk: From a very young age, Sue Hendrickson was meant to find things: lost coins, perfume bottles, even hidden treasure. Her endless curiosity eventually led to her career in diving and paleontology, where she would continue to find things big and small. In 1990, at a dig in South Dakota, Sue made her biggest discovery to date: Sue the T. rex, the largest and most complete T. rex skeleton ever unearthed. Named in Sue’s honor, Sue the T. rex would be placed on permanent exhibition at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
