Catch a Kiss
by Deborah Diesen (Author) and Kris Aro McLeod (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Izzie just loves when her mama blows her kisses to catch. Smooch kisses, zig-zag kisses, and even triple decker kisses! But even though she runs and leaps for it, Izzie misses a kiss! Her heart sinks as she watches it zip higher and higher into the sky. When Mama lets Izzie in on a sweet secret she realizes that her mama’s love will always come to find her, no matter what!

Snippet: And before she could jump again, a puff of wind grabbed that kiss and pulled it up. High. Higher!

“Oh, no!” cried Lizzie. “My kiss!”

Gena/Finn

Gena/Finn
by Hannah Moskowitz (Author) and Kat Helgeson (Author)

Booktalk: Told through emails, text messages, journal entries, and blog posts, Gena/Finn is a story of friendship and love in the digital age.

Gena and Finn would have never met but for their mutual love for the popular show Up Below. Regardless of their differences—Gena is a recent high school graduate whose social life largely takes place online, while Finn is in her early twenties, job hunting and contemplating marriage with her longtime boyfriend—the two girls realize that the bond between them transcends fanfiction. When disaster strikes and Gena’s world turns upside down, only Finn can save her, and that, too, comes with a price.
