The Thickety: The Last Spell

Christmas time, England, and a locked-down mansion. Lily Armitage returns to her childhood home to take part in a deadly game tied to both old and new murders. The game is built from poems, riddles, and wordplay. The story invites the reader not just to follow the plot, but to actively solve clues alongside the characters.
This is a novel that relies heavily on the English language itself: poems, puns, and hidden meanings are essential to the experience. For that reason, it is best read in the original English.

The Christmas Murder Game

Dear Martin is a contemporary YA debut novel that became a New York Times bestseller and a William C. Morris Award finalist. 
The story follows a Black teenage boy navigating school, friendships, and identity in present-day America. As he struggles to make sense of injustice around him, he writes letters to Martin Luther King Jr., turning inward rather than outward.
This book unfolds slowly and thoughtfully. Its strength lies in the protagonist’s tenderness and inner conversation, asking how ideals from the past live on in everyday life now.

Dear Martin

Winner of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature (1999).
Set in a small Texas town during the summer of 1971, this story is told by 13-year-old Toby, who spends the season learning how to observe, help, understand, and respect a visitor — a sideshow boy left behind by a traveling circus.
The novel moves gently, with moments of humor and warmth, but it does not hide the quiet harshness of the world. Loss, abandonment, and unspoken fears exist at the edges, not yet fully understood by the children — or by the reader.

When Zachary Beaver Came to Town

Winner of Japan’s Kiyama Shohei Literary Award.

The book attends closely to small moments, space, and presence, reflecting on how even temporary encounters can subtly alter a life.
