|  | Feather Boy
Twelve-year-old Robert Nobel is a nerd. He admits it. Bullies love him because he's so self-deprecating that he practically hands himself over to his tormentors. When he's paired with nursing home resident Edith Sorel as part of a school arts project, Robert's life is transformed. Ghost houses, the mysterious death of Edith's son, a coat of feathers, and the rush to finish his project before she dies all converge to change Robert in profound ways.

 | Ali & Nino by Jenia Graman, Kurban Said
A mix of romance and wartime adventure set in Azerbaijan during World War I and the Russian Revolution, this novel is about a Tartar Muslim who marries a Georgian Christian, rebelling against his traditional male-chauvinist background. It was first published in German in 1937, and its authorship is in dispute: is it the work of Lev Nussimbaum (a.k.a. Kurban Said), or of the Austrian Baroness Elfriede Ehrenfels von Bodmershop, who was Nussimbaum's lover? AUTHOR: Jenia Graman, Kurban Said
