Author copies of THE BOOK OF JUPITER arrived! And it looks so beautiful, and it has A MAP!!! I have always wanted a book with a map!!! Thanks @risahugo.bsky.social for both the gorgeous cover and the map- it looks even better in real life!

A cardboard box containing copies of the middle grade novel The Book of Jupiter. Book cover shows a girl in an orchard night, with a large planet hanging in the sky overhead.

Interior map. Text in top left corner reads Jupiter Station. A river runs along the bottom of the page, and above it the map shows seven buildings connected by paths, in a fenced community surrounded by trees.

Who Needs the Dark? may be the book you didn't know you needed this #Halloween. It's got an adorable black cat, glowing fungi, and even a skeleton or two, but it's message is reassuring: the dark doesn't need to be scary! @owlkids.bsky.social @risahugo.bsky.social #picturebook #kidlit #darkness
