New Nonfiction Releases- January and February

It's great to return to the blog again after a year of being on hiatus. Thanks so much to Louise for blogging solo for over a year. She did a fantastic job!

It looks like it's going to be another banner year for nonfiction. I'm really excited about the 2018 titles I've seen so far. Here are some nonfiction books for children and teens that hit shelves in January and February. Look for reviews of many of these titles in the upcoming months.
