New in Mythic Fantasy: Medusa's Sisters by Lauren J. A. Bear

Recommended by bookseller Kalynn: “This beautifully written novel reimagines the story of the Gorgon sisters: Euryale, Stheno, and the most well known, Medusa. Most people are not even aware that the Gorgons were a trio, and that truly is a shame because their story is such a touching and heartfelt journey of sisterhood. They struggle with wanting sisterly revenge despite their desire to protect each other at any cost. As the sisters travel across land and sea they learn what it means to truly love and what that love will cost them in the end.” Out August 8th!

The only rocks on display are glittering gemstones, geodes, and crystals! These beautiful stones make him wonder: Can he be special, too? Perhaps he'll find an answer in the World's Most Beautiful Gem exhibition . . . or maybe, just maybe, he will find the answer inside himself. For ages 4 and up, out now!
