In an arctic world that's getting colder every day, Lyriana's only hope of survival is to get her little brother Zave and herself to the fabled Orphan's Garden. It’s rumored to be the one place in the world not controlled by deadly Winter Spirits or ruled by the tyrant Giant king. In Orphan’s Garden, healing trees will melt away Winter’s pains, and Lyriana and Zave can live safely in the warmth of Spring. If the garden exists, they must find it. They won’t live much longer without it.

Pulls you into this world on page 1
Revisado: 02-16-25
Children, who like fantastic world building and strong teen characters will love this book. It’s a novel-in-verse that pulls the reader into the story from the very first page. The language is lovely and builds a wonderful story of a magical world where children need a garden with a healing tree to escape winter. The spring garden is a great refuge but opens more danger as they must figure out who to trust among the Giants and Humans. My only complaint is that I wanted to stay in this world a little longer.in this world a little longer.

Meet Abby, a six-foot tall, 300-pound middle schooler with giant brains and pint-sized confidence. Despite Abby's best efforts to be invisible, she is pulled into her school’s debate team by Tina, the adorkable new girl at school. Just as Abby starts to think debate is something she could be good at, her confidence is shattered when she finds out this year's debate topic: combating childhood obesity. Debate now feels like another way the universe has made her feel huge and small all at the same time.

Funny and touching, Behind You Is the Sea brings us into the homes and lives of three main families—the Baladis, the Salamehs, and the Ammars—Palestinian immigrants who’ve all found a different welcome in America. Their various fates and struggles cause their community dynamic to sizzle and sometimes explode: The wealthy Ammar family employs young Maysoon Baladi, whose own family struggles financially, to clean up after their spoiled teenagers. Meanwhile, Marcus Salameh confronts his father in an effort to protect his younger sister for “dishonoring” their name.

Family and tradition woven throughout
Revisado: 01-18-24
Behind You Is the Sea shares through many characters, the lives of Palestinian Americans living in the Baltimore area. The intergenerational stories share so many relationships — siblings, parent-child, child-grandparent, and adult-child and parent. The characters' lives are messy and touching and heartfelt. The power of family and tradition — good and bad — is woven through every scene. This novel has all the feels. These families will stay with you after the last page is read.
