New Releases - Week of August 27, 2024

We've found eight different new releases to shout about this week. Are any of them on your TBR? 

Bridge Across the Sky by Freeman Ng Atheneum Books for Young Readers

A raw and honest historical novel in verse about a Chinese teen who immigrates to the United States with his family and endures mistreatment at the Angel Island Immigration Station while trying to navigate his own course in a new world.

Tai Go and his family have crossed an ocean wider than a thousand rivers, joining countless other Chinese immigrants in search of a better life in the United States. Instead, they’re met with hostility and racism. Empowered by the Chinese Exclusion Act, the government detains the immigrants on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay while evaluating their claims.

Held there indefinitely, Tai Go experiences the prison-like conditions, humiliating medical exams, and interrogations designed to trick detainees into failure. Yet amid the anger and sorrow, Tai Go also finds hope—in the poems carved into the walls of the barracks by others who have been detained there, in the actions of a group of fellow detainees who are ready to fight for their rights, in the friends he makes, and in a perceived enemy whose otherness he must come to terms with.

Unhappy at first with his father’s decision to come to the United States, Tai Go must overcome the racism he discovers in both others and himself and forge his own version of the American Dream.

The Sticky Note Manifesto of Aisha Agarwal by Ambika Vohra Quill Tree Books, Harper Collins

“How have you gotten out of your comfort zone?”

That’s the Stanford admissions prompt that valedictorian shoo-in Aisha Agarwal can’t answer. Her life’s been homework and junk food. So, when her crush, Brian, asks her to winter formal, Aisha thinks her fate is changing . . .

. . . until Brian stands her up.

As if on cue, a banged-up Volkswagen arrives outside the dance; the driver profusely apologizing for being late to pick her up. Does Aisha know him or what he’s talking about? No. Does the Stanford essay convince her to take him up on the ride? Absolutely.

To Aisha’s relief, seventeen-year-old Quentin Santos isn’t a kidnapper, but he is failing math. They strike a deal: if Aisha helps Quentin pass math, he’ll help push her out of her comfort zone, using a series of sticky note to-do’s—dares—that will not only give Aisha content for her essay, but will turn her into the confident person she’s always wanted to be.

From New Year’s Eve kisses to high school parties, Aisha’s sticky note manifesto is taking off. But when she falls for the wrong guy, hurts her best friend, and still can’t finish her essay, victory feels far from reach.

Is winning worth it if you end up losing yourself in the process?

Twin Flames by Olivia Abtahi Lee & Low Books

When djinn start to show up in twins Leila and Bianca’s small Virginia hometown, the only way they and their families will survive will be if the twins can get past their differences and start to act like sisters again.

Twins Bianca and Leila could not be more different from each other. Being both Argentinian and Iranian in a small town has always been hard, but with Leila shunning her heritage and Bianca embracing it, the two walk very different paths. They run in different circles of friends, and barely talk anymore. Leila’s a homebody who loves to craft and plans on marrying her high school sweetheart. Bianca’s more anti-establishment and plans to get out of Dodge as soon as humanly possible.

But on their eighteenth birthday, the neighbor’s barn is burned down–and it doesn’t seem to have been caused by anything normal like an electrical or fuel source. When Leila encounters a mysterious monster arising from the fire, suddenly she gains strange powers–and can no longer touch iron or even eat foods with high iron content.

What are these creatures and where are they coming from? What do they want with Leila–or other people in town, for that matter? Can the twins learn to rely on each other–and their cultures–to banish them? It’ll take a sisterly reconciliation for the girls to find out and to save their hometown in this New Visions Award-winning fantasy adventure.

Everything We Never Had by Randy Ribay Kokila

From the author of the National Book Award finalist Patron Saints of Nothing comes an emotionally charged, moving novel about four generations of Filipino American boys grappling with identity, masculinity, and their fraught father-son relationships.

Watsonville, 1930. Francisco Maghabol barely ekes out a living in the fields of California. As he spends what little money he earns at dance halls and faces increasing violence from white men in town, Francisco wonders if he should’ve never left the Philippines.

Stockton, 1965. Between school days full of prejudice from white students and teachers and night shifts working at his aunt’s restaurant, Emil refuses to follow in the footsteps of his labor organizer father, Francisco. He’s going to make it in this country no matter what or who he has to leave behind.

Denver, 1983. Chris is determined to prove that his overbearing father, Emil, can’t control him. However, when a missed assignment on “ancestral history” sends Chris off the football team and into the library, he discovers a desire to know more about Filipino history―even if his father dismisses his interest as unamerican and unimportant.

Philadelphia, 2020. Enzo struggles to keep his anxiety in check as a global pandemic breaks out and his abrasive grandfather moves in. While tensions are high between his dad and his lolo, Enzo’s daily walks with Lolo Emil have him wondering if maybe he can help bridge their decades-long rift.

Told in multiple perspectives, Everything We Never Had unfolds like a beautifully crafted nesting doll, where each Maghabol boy forges his own path amid heavy family and societal expectations, passing down his flaws, values, and virtues to the next generation, until it’s up to Enzo to see how he can braid all these strands and men together.

Our Shouts Echo by Jade Adia Disney-Hyperion

Survival Tip #1: The world is going to shit. Whatever you do, trust no one.

Sixteen-year old Niarah Holloway’s only goal in life is to get through it unnoticed. That, and to spend her first summer in LA building a doomsday bunker in her backyard. Because if the past few years have taught Niarah anything, it’s that the ocean levels are rising, minimum wage is a scam, and the people who are supposed to protect you will hurt you. Now the only thing that helps Niarah stay afloat amidst the constant waves of anxiety and dread that threaten to drag her under is her new mantra: Be prepared.

But Niarah wasn’t prepared for Mac Torres. Not for his disarmingly cute face, or for his surfer lifestyle, or for the way his smile resuscitates her heart. Mac is a bomb that blows Niarah’s world to pieces, but instead of disaster, he fills it with sunset bonfires, breakfast burritos, and new friends.

For years, Niarah’s life has revolved around ignoring the demons of her past, avoiding the problems of her present, and preparing for the catastrophes of the future. Now Mac—with his sunshine laugh and infectious optimism— is determined to show her another way to be. But in a world where the worst feels inevitable, can one summer be enough to light the way to a hopeful future? Can one summer be enough to fall in love?

With Love, Echo Park by Laura Taylor Namey Atheneum

Seventeen-year-old Clary is set to inherit her family’s florist shop, La Rosa Blanca—one of the last remnants of the Cuban business district that once thrived in Los Angeles’s Echo Park neighborhood. Clary knows Echo Park is where she’ll leave a legacy, and nothing is more important to her than keeping the area’s unique history alive.

Besides Clary’s florist shop, there’s only one other business left founded by Cuban immigrants fleeing Castro’s regime in the sixties and seventies. And Emilio, who’s supposed to take over Avalos Bicycle Works one day, is more flight risk than dependable successor. While others might find Emilio appealing, Clary can see him itching to leave now that he’s graduated, and she’ll never be charmed by a guy who doesn’t care if one more Echo Park business fades away.

But then Clary is caught off guard when an unexpected visitor delivers a shocking message from someone she thought she’d left behind. Meanwhile, Emilio realizes leaving home won’t be so easy—and Clary, who has always been next door, is who he confides in. As the summer days unfold, they find there’s something stronger than local history tying them together.

Libertad by Bessie Flores Zaldivar Dial Books

A queer YA coming-of-age set during the rigged Honduran presidential election, about a young poet discovering the courage it takes to speak her truth about the people and country she loves.

As the contentious 2017 presidential election looms and protests rage across every corner of the city, life in Tegucigalpa, Honduras churns louder and faster. For her part, high school senior Libertad (Libi) Morazán takes heart in writing political poetry for her anonymous Instagram account and a budding romance someone new. But things come to a head when Mami sees texts on her phone mentioning a kiss with a girl and Libi discovers her beloved older brother, Maynor, playing a major role in the protests. As Libertad faces the political and social corruption around her, stifling homophobia at home and school, and ramped up threats to her poetry online, she begins dreaming of a future in which she doesn’t have to hide who she is or worry about someone she loves losing their life just for speaking up. Then the ultimate tragedy strikes, and leaving her family and friends—plus the only home she’s ever known—might be her only option.

Back to school habits

Outside the home, schools are the primary vehicles for educating, socializing, and providing services to young people in our country.

Smoking school children at their very tender age, taking dopants such as whitner used for erasing on paper writing, consuming - alcohol, chemical sprits, cough syrabs and smoking, pre marriage pergnancy at school level, abortion, immature sex, lesbian, gay, homosexual partners and transgender.......all kinds of unwelcomed changes are taking place in our society specially in schools. Schools are paving a new way for this kind of activities because of getting immense opportunities from various cultural backgrounds.

Students of this kind may face bullying, exclusion, and discrimination in school, putting them at physical and psychological risk and limiting their education. This is true. At the same time we cannot support their practices and protect them from risks. In order to save them, can we support their habits inculcated. Never possible.

Think over it. How can we save these victims from their lifestyles and save our culture and heritage.

Only way is giving frequent awareness. Our awareness should not imbibe in them to get to know a new life style which they are not aware of.

¶ Sonal Kathuria: Keeping in mind the exposure the students are getting these days, these are very normal things. Students learn from what they see in their surrounding.The only best thing we can do is to communicate the good and bad effects of any habit and leave it to them to decide. Trust me when we talk and dont impose the results are better.

¶ Debabrata Biswas: The root cause of all problems is IDENTITY CRISIS ...

Secondly, Enemies inside and outside the country are continuously trying to spoil the INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER of citizens and next generations ...

Only Solution - Integrated Education

¶ Dr. BALA SUBRAMANIAN: Most of the incident or habits started like a fun and want to show the anger .... Sadly it's like a web. A slow walk for self trapped, so if you have clear evidence, kibdly call and say the disadvantages and health issues and it's causes, bad leading road for moth cancer, ling cancer, etc....

Perhaps now google can helps you to show the real picture, if they have mobile so some you tubes, make an awareness, little make scary too.

Sure today you are a villain and tomoor sure your are the lamppost

¶ S. C. Vohra: I have been reading the wonderful pieces of writing /views on this topic with keen interest. The exposure the students of today are getting isn’t a sudden happening. It may be a normal scenario in metropolitan cities but in small towns and cities it’s not that rampant. The parents there still exercise a strong control and the moment they get an adverse report from the school, swing into action and try to do as much damage control as possible and in a majority of cases they are able to embrace success. In some 5% cases, they give full freedom to school authorities to handle them the way they deem fit. The real trouble starts when we accept them as normal. The schools and parents try to brush under the carpet all such incidents for the fear of getting a bad name for the school and the family. In many cases children blackmail their parents by either running away from homes or threatening to commit suicide. One child families either over pamper them or show extra concern and fulfil all their right-wrong demands. Private managements are generally money oriented and keep an eye on annual balance sheet , little bothering about such incidents. Right from the day a child is admitted in the school, deviations from set school standards should be a strict “ No , No.” An environment of good conduct needs to be created in the school and recruitment of staff should be done after full scrutiny. We must remember that the school is a lengthened shadow of the headmaster/ Principal.

¶ Leena Rai: Children have got deviated from the right pathway and don't want to listen to anyone nor any change they want however happy in the cocoon they have weaved for themselves. Right or wrong is not what we need to teach everyone. The only thing is the need of the power of Self-assessement in oneself where various resources remain available to make them aware about the consequences of wrong doings and acts and indulgences.

But the major concern of their deviation is the treatment their parents do to their parents. Children are grown and grown but more in their mindsets considering the older generation too old to understand and below the level to match theirs. When we question or get angry at our parents have we ever thought of how and what effect it would be creating in the minds of next generation. Later how can we expect the respect from these very kids of home. Similarly, we are in a culture shock of today as one of my peers well said that children are after the parties in halls and to an extreme extent their parents do endorse this very idea.

To large extent just notice the drapes of both girls and their mothers in a formal occasion and to dismay-the salon dressing if little dolls to have a compliment LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER and thanks to this very modernised digital society that fathers drink with their sons and this is considered to be supercool.

¶ Buvana: Today kids not ready to hear NO for their demands...parents trying to give everything they demands due to their guilty ( not possible to give enough time due to work)..... which leads kids loosing patience.

¶ Anju Datta: It is a burning situation because of parents, yes because of their attitude towards their families. The behavior of their kids is like a learning outcome in front of society. The parents are not conscious of their roles, they have one thing in their senses that's to fulfill the demands of their kids. Here I will say even demands are created by the parents. A small child does not know about the brand name. Parents are providing them with such big named material in the form of fancy stationery, dresses, footwear, etc. They transfer the knowledge of the brand name with the price tag. So then the child demands the same, then we people complain about their conduct. A man wants to develop a friendship bond with his son. On the occasion of the birthday party of his son's friend, he offers an ordinary pen and altered the cap of the specific pen with the expensive pen. Here he told his son to speak the name of that specific brand name, and justify his son by saying it's common among friends. Now, who's the culprit parent or the son? So it's the prime duty of the parents first to clear the garbage from their minds. When their vision will be clear then they will be able to show the clear path to the next generation.

"Simple" is an infantilising word used to maintain age-old hierarchies. Poor people are called "simple", yaniki their anger, pain, struggle erased so elites don't feel complicated feelings about privilege. Simple dark-skinned girls, simple people with disabilities—everyone we treat as burdens, not equals, is "simple".

Simple is a word families use to breed distrust not only of the world, but of yourself. Your personal desires, friendships, interests, timepass, career preferences—everything that make you an autonomous adult—are seen as betrayals, met with tears, threats and drama. You can exist only through splitting yourself—playing a role, while hiding your individual self. Feeling guilt or shame when this self emerges, in love, sex or intimacies with others, you will lash out at people, who 'pressured' you into those glimpses of freedom. No mystery about the emotional unavailability and inexplicable harshness of men in relationships—it comes from that "simple" upbringing.

— Paromita Vohra, from “Rashi Ben and the myth of 'simple' family", in Paro-normal Activity
