Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel July 2023: Staying Alive features the book THE DISASTER DAYS by Rebecca Behrens.

Hannah Steele loves living on Pelling, a tiny island near Seattle. It’s a little disconnected from the outside world, but she’s always felt completely safe there.

When she’s asked to babysit her next-door neighbors after school, Hannah is ready to put her babysitting class skills to work. No big deal.

Then the shaking begins.

The terrifying earthquake only lasts four minutes but it changes everything, damaging the house, knocking out the power, and making cell service nonexistent. Even worse, the ferry and the bridge connecting the kids to help—and their parents—are both blocked. Which means they’re stranded. And Hannah’s in charge.

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel July 2023: Staying Alive features the book WILDER BOYS by Brandon Wallace.

Thirteen-year-old Jake spends most of his time pouring over his father’s journal, which is full of wilderness facts and survival tips. Eleven-year-old Taylor likes to be outside playing with their dog, Cody, or joking around with the other kids in the neighborhood.

But one night everything changes. The boys discover a dangerous secret that their mother’s boyfriend is hiding.

And the next day, they come home from school to find their mother unconscious in an ambulance. Knowing they are no longer safe and with nowhere else to go, the Wilder Boys head off in search of their absentee father.
