Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All by Chanel Miller

May 2, 2026: Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All by Chanel Miller (A Newbery Honor book)

“Down at the bottom of the tall buildings of New York City, Magnolia Wu sits inside her parents laundromat. She has pinned every lost sock from the laundromat onto a bulletin board in hopes that customers will return to retrieve them. But no one seems to have noticed. In fact, barely anyone has noticed Magnolia at all. What she doesn’t know is that this is about to be her most exciting summer yet. When Iris, a new friend from California arrives, they set off across the city to solve the mystery of each missing sock, asking questions in subways and delis and plant stores and pizzerias, meeting people and uncovering the unimaginable. With each new encounter, Magnolia learns that when you’re bold enough to head into the unknown, things start falling into place.” — Provided by publisher.

Fairy Door Diaries: Eliza and the Flower Fairies

July 11, 2026: Fairy Door Diaries: Eliza and the Flower Fairies (A Newbery Honor book)

To some, the low door in Eliza’s bedroom might look like an ordinary entrance to a crawl space under the stairs. But to a believer like Eliza of the Elves, it’s the door to the Land of UnderStair, a secret hideout all her own. In that crawl space, festooned with twinkling lights, Eliza keeps her favorite book, her collections of precious items, her stuffed animals, and her new diary. And in that crawl space is another door, a teeny-tiny one that can transport Eliza to a world of tangerine sun and lemon-pudding sky, a place where flower fairies perch on every bloom and a new flower springs up whenever you pick one. But things go awry after Eliza tries to pick a strange flower and her friend Poppy must rescue her before the Demon Wind steals the flower fairies’ scents.
