Stories About Stories: The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo

This year at Stone Soup, I’m interviewing the teams that make books happen! Go check out Unsanitary Work, an interview with the people who made The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo into the incredible book that it is.

I’m Reading: Star Wars: The High Republic: Escape from Valo by Daniel José Older and Alyssa Wong, Illustrated by Petur Antonsson

Journey to the embattled Occlusion Zone in this action-packed adventure set hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga! It's a dark and dangerous time for the galaxy in which communication has been rendered nearly impossible in Nihil-controlled space as the nefarious pirates continue to threaten the Republic's very existence. Join Jedi Padawan Ram Jomaram – and some Jedi younglings – as they plot their escape from enemy territory.

Featured New Release: Wine Ghost Goes to Hell by Sage Coffey

When Wine Ghost was alive, she was a booze-soaked train wreck. Now that she's dead . . . well, to be honest, not a lot has changed. But when an old friend from her days among the living unexpectedly turns up in Hell, she's faced with a lot more responsibility—and self-reflection—than she's used to dealing with! Fortunately, if anyone knows how to handle life after death, it's Wine Ghost. She learned the ins and outs of Hell a long time ago, but it's her pal's first days down in The Depths. And boy howdy, are they both in for a wild ride!
