THE SEASON OF STYX MALONE
NPR Best Book of 2018
School Library Journal Best Book of 2018
Coretta Scott King Honor Book
Caleb Franklin, age 11, wakes up one small-town summer morning realizing he does not want to be ordinary. His brother Bobby Gene (age 12 and perfectly fine with being ordinary) gets sucked into Caleb's effort to spice up their lives. Their new, cool, older neighbor Styx Malone (age 16, a foster boy who hails from "the city") embraces Caleb's quest and eggs the brothers on into a slightly madcap, one-thing-leads-to-another adventure. Styx seems worldly, mature, and bold, but the brothers soon find themselves in over their heads as Styx's seeming coolness gives way to recklessness.
Kekla Magoon has received the Coretta Scott King Author Honor (2015, 2016), CSK/John Steptoe Award for New Talent (2010), The Walter Award honor book (2016), and the NAACP Image Award (2016). Her work has been selected by Junior Library Guild, ALA Notable Books, YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults, Bank Street Best Books, Rainbow List, Kirkus Reviews Best Books, Booklist Top Ten, and more.
