Staff Pick of the Week!
Ryan reads What Happened to the Bennetts by Lisa Scottoline.
I spent the first few chapters of this novel with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, reading through the terror and panic and grief that the Bennetts experienced as their daughter was killed in a carjacking. Then the story shifted slightly and for the rest of the book I was completely rapt, on the edge of my seat.
This thrilling story thrusts a totally normal, almost boring, suburban dad into the role of Action Hero in order to save his family as they are put into the Witness Protection Program and suddenly find themselves embroiled in conspiracy and adventure, with so many twists and turns that you will be holding onto the book for dear life.
What Happened to the Bennetts celebrates “everyday superpowers” and the average person rising to heroic levels to save the people they love the most. Dealing with grief and love and familial relationships in an action setting, this novel is riveting and I couldn’t put it down.

Happy Election Day! Gibby can't vote, but he hopes that if you can, you will! And take advantage of Gibson's Election Day Sale!
In the spirit of Election Day, Gibby would like to recommend Sofia Valdez, Future Prez by Andrea Beaty, illustrated by David Roberts!
"The newest picture book from the creators of Iggy Peck, Architect; Rosie Revere, Engineer; and Ada Twist, Scientist stars Sofia Valdez, a community leader who stands up for what she believes in!
"Every morning, Abuelo walks Sofia to school . . . until one day, when Abuelo hurts his ankle at a local landfill and he can no longer do so. Sofia (aka Sofi) misses her Abuelo and wonders what she can do about the dangerous Mount Trashmore. Then she gets an idea—the town can turn the slimy mess into a park! She brainstorms and plans and finally works up the courage to go to City Hall—only to be told by a clerk that she can’t build a park because she’s just a kid! Sofia is down but not out, and she sets out to prove what one kid can do."
