LSC is pleased to present our Spring/Summer 2023 Juvenile Notables catalogue. LSC extends our thanks to everyone who helped us put these catalogues together, from publishers to librarians to LSC staff Titles in these catalogues are compiled in cooperation with Canadian publishers and a committee of Canadian librarians

Titles in the Juvenile Notables Catalogue are categorized by “Picture Books”, “Juvenile Fiction”, “Juvenile NonFiction”, “Young Adult Fiction”, “Young Adult Non- Fiction” and graphic novels and sorted alphabetically by author. To ensure series completion, LSC includes the ISBN of the previous volume in a series. All picture book and fiction lists are divided into Bestsellers and Solid Sellers. . For ease of ordering, we have also posted a companion juvenile audio notables list on our website.

Selectors consider Canadian authors, high demand authors, and important regional authors to merit bestseller status. Titles of topical interest, print runs, and promotional campaigns also receive special consideration. The Solid Sellers catalogue complements our Best Sellers catalogue, and it contains titles that are new and notable, and highly recommended for library collections.

LSC’s Catalogues are one of the largest distribution channels for Juvenile/Young Adult hardcover and trade paperback titles in Canada.

A little girl dreams of adventures in the water and feels the spirit of the ocean all around her . . . even though she lives on the prairie, with flat land as far as the eye can see. But she won't let a little detail like that stand in the way of being a meadow mermaid! Frolicking in the "waves" of wheat and "oceans" of grass, spying sea horses and . . . a shipwrecked sailor? Even if that shipwreck is actually an overturned bike and the sailor a new kid from a neighboring field, it's still a chance to make a new friend, one with an imagination as expansive and a love of the ocean as deep as the little girl's own.

Inspired by empathy, the little girl determines and plots to hoist the pig up to see the stars, and in doing so, sees herself. Originally written as a tweet by actor Vincent D'Onofrio, the limited and poetic text morphs into a beautiful story of friendship and kindness in this bold and graphic picture book.

When a thunderstorm grounds all flights following a huge Muslim convention, four unlikely kids are thrown together. Feek is stuck babysitting his younger sister, but he'd rather be writing a poem that's good enough for his dad, a famous poet and rapper. Hanna is intent on finding a lost cat in the airport-and also on avoiding a conversation with her dad about him possibly remarrying. Sami is struggling with his anxiety and worried that he'll miss the karate tournament that he's trained so hard for. And Nora has to deal with the pressure of being the daughter of a prominent congresswoman, when all she really wants to do is make fun NokNok videos. These kids don't seem to have much in common-yet.

Ring and Asia Wilde's life is anything but ordinary. Some of their closest friends are endangered monkeys and rare birds. Instead of attending middle school, they accompany their parents (scientists who work to save endangered species) on adventures around the world. They spend more time climbing trees, tracking animal prints, and taking on three-hundred-pound anacondas than they do filling out worksheets. But a research trip to the Amazon rainforest turns into a dangerous mystery when their mother goes missing. Who kidnapped Dr. Jane Wilde, and why? Ring and Asia have the skills to survive the jungle--but do they have what it takes to rescue their mom?

Pretty Implausible Premise

Karen Rivers cn yf e

Head-spinning, can't-stop-thinking-about-you feelings, Taylor-Swift-song-level feelings. Their instant connection seems implausible, even impossible, as they start to realize all they have in common. Both are grieving, living in worlds haunted by ghosts; both have a parent that's out-of-sight, not-out-of-mind; and both were forced to give up their Olympic dreams. Connected by experiences only they understand, Hattie and Presley fall into a whirlwind romance-flirting at their workplace, sleeping side by side beneath the stars, ice skating to a playlist all their own. But like the wildfires surrounding their California town, the trauma that haunts them is unrelenting. Can they overcome their losses without losing each other? Or will their ghosts break them apart?

Nathan Hale us jn e

What happens when a couple of prehistoric creatures want to become internet stars? Trilobite and Amber (a walking whale) dream of fame and fortune. They don't realize that most of the world thinks that they're extinct. When a wandering paleo-newscaster introduces them to the world of internet videos, they hop at the chance to get behind the camera. The competition for internet fame will be fierce-Trilobite and Amber will face off against ancient sea creatures, talking cacti, floating cat heads, and more! Friendships will be tested, allies will be made, and cameras will be smashed! Our heroes will have to use all of their newfound skills when they find themselves competing in an all out video-making battle royale!

In a debut teen graphic novel that is part Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and part Severance, a high school student must figure out how to exist in a world where she is the only one left with a heart-and whether she wants to keep hers at all. The Faint of Heart is a vivid, ethereal, and haunting novel for readers of ND Stevenson's Nimona and Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki's This One Summer.
