There is no place in the world for hate crimes and violence.
We mourn for those lost in yesterday’s horrific shootings targeted at the Asian American Pacific Islander community, and for the exponential rise in anti-Asian violence across the country.
Everyone must unite to end these hate crimes. We must listen to and amplify Asian Americans who have been speaking out against White Supremacy and oppressive systems of harm and prejudice. The work of our authors leading the national conversation against racism is seminal to ensuring progress is made.
We stand in solidarity, now and always, with our AAPI community of employees, creators, and readers to #StopAsianHate.

Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery’s never been there, but she’s heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows.
The town is picture-perfect, but it’s hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone has declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing.
Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too. And the longer she’s in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something. The thing is, secrets are dangerous—and most people aren’t good at keeping them. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it’s safest to keep your secrets to yourself.

Are you a fan of THE POET X? How about Jason Reynolds? Then you need to pick up HOME IS NOT A COUNTRY, a mesmerizing novel-in-verse about family, identity, and finding yourself in the most unexpected places.
Nima doesn’t feel understood. By her mother, who grew up far away in a different land. By her suburban town, which makes her feel too much like an outsider to fit in and not enough like an outsider to feel like that she belongs somewhere else. At least she has her childhood friend Haitham, with whom she can let her guard down and be herself. Until she doesn’t.
As the ground is pulled out from under her, Nima must grapple with the phantom of a life not chosen, the name her parents didn’t give her at birth: Yasmeen. But that other name, that other girl, might just be more real than Nima knows. And more hungry. And the life Nima has, the one she keeps wishing were someone else’s…she might have to fight for it with a fierceness she never knew she had.
