Deliciously spooky! Love this one by @lorienlawrence.bsky.social and I can think of many Ss that will too! Gabby and Trent are twins following in their grandparents footsteps. Will they ever be able to just be themselves? Grab a copy to find out! #ABRAMSbooks #BookPosse

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.
