(W/A/CA) Hope Larson
Verity 'Very' Nelson can do it all. She's student body president, debate club whiz, and first chair clarinetist. She can even do more push-ups than anyone at her school. You could say she's pretty much the best at everything… Well, almost everything. Everything except math. And it's not like she doesn't try. Math just doesn't make sense in her brain. But it better start soon, or else she can kiss her presidency—and her campaign promises—goodbye. Soon she finds herself enrolled in a remedial math class, where, despite her best efforts, failure persists. All seems lost until a teacher helps her discover the truth: Verity has dyscalculia, a learning disability that causes her to mix up numbers. Armed with a new perspective, can Verity pass math, keep her presidency, and make good on her word to the student body she loves so much? Or will her presidency—and perfect reputation—all come crashing down? (STL347147) (C: 0-1-0)

(W/A/CA) Regis Penet
Through an important episode in the life of Ludwig van Beethoven, Régis Penet paints the portrait of a humanist genius who refused to submit to the powerful.
'Tell the French that there is still one man in Austria who is not subject to them, and that he does not bear any title!'
1806. The great Napoleonic conquests are underway and Austria is now occupied by French troops. Ludwig van Beethoven, by now a towering figure in Austrian culture, resides in the palace of Prince Alois von Lichnowsky, his friend and patron. One fateful night, von Lichnowsky demands Beethoven play for his guests to show 'what remains of a prince of Austria.' But Beethoven refuses.
A striking portrait of the 'bear of the salons': a genius sure of his talent, indomitable, and devoted to freedom. (STL240056) (C: 0-1-2)

Imprisoned in the infamous Tuol Sleng prison, better known as S-21, painting became synonymous with survival for him. Ordered, like many Cambodian artists and craftsmen, to put his talent to use to glorify his captors, upon his release he continued painting-this time, to remember and pay tribute to the victims of Pol Pot's evil regime.

TWILIGHT MAN ROD SERLING AND BIRTH OF TELEVISION HC (O/A)
(W/A/CA) Koren Shadmi
We recognize him as our sharply dressed and charming guide to The Twilight Zone, but the entertainment business Rod Serling got his start in saw him as something very different. This 'angry young man'pushed the boundaries of television through the lens of science fiction stories that explored the nature of humanity while rejecting notions of war, censorship, and racism. But the monsters he crafted for the screen were far from the only ones that inhabited Serling's life, from PTSD to the struggles of working in the entertainment industry. (STL262603)
