The Tyrell Show: Season One Written by Miles Grose & illustrated by Shaz Lym
Tyrell is excited to start his last year at Marcus Garvey Elementary, but things don’t go the way he expected. His best friend just doesn’t seem like himself, schoolwork is much harder than Tyrell thought it would be, and being one of the older kids in school does not automatically make him popular! What’s even worse is that his audition for the big school show doesn’t go according to plan. There’s only one thing that will help Tyrell through this sea of troubles—a safe place to express himself: his podcast.

I Survived the Galveston Hurricane, 1900 Written by Lauren Tarshis & illustrated by Scott Dawson In 1900, Galveston was Texas’s richest and most important city. Just a few years before, a weather forecaster had said the idea of a hurricane striking Galveston was absurd. So when a storm started brewing on September 8, people gathered on the beach to cheer on the wild waves. But what started as entertainment soon turned into a nightmare as those waves crashed into the city. In this thrilling installment of Lauren Tarshis’s I Survived series, fifth-graders will keep turning pages to discover what happens when a boy named Charlie battles the treacherous waters to make sure his neighbors are safe.
