OUR LATEST EMAIL NEWSLETTER...

Greetings Dear Readers,

As we grow up through childhood and adolescence, each year is accompanied by new benchmarks on the path to adulthood. And although we're often in a hurry to finish growing up, it's worth celebrating each step and each triumph along the way -- especially the new and ever-more-challenging books we're able to read.

For a sample of our favorite new books for middle readers and young adults, read on!

And don't miss the festivities this Saturday! We'll have a trio of terrific children's authors on hand, and every child that comes into the store gets a free book, up to a $10 value -- read on for all the details...
