  TroubleTwisters #2: The Monster (EBK) by Garth Nix and Sean Williams In the first book of the intense Troubletwisters series, Jack and Jaide defeated the Evil with their intuition (and a little luck). Now that life in Portland has returned to normal, the twins spend their time trying to master their powers and hanging out with a new friend at school, Tara. But things start getting strange when Tara's father sees the instruments in Grandma X's antique shop warning of Evil activity. Soon, rumors of a monster are spreading all over town. What form is the Evil taking this time? And can the twins use their powers to stop the Evil before it's too late? Strong characters, a fantastic setting, and taut storytelling make this second book in the series a page-turning winner. $7.99 books;ebooks;ebooks | Ages 9-12

Young, black 16-year-old Steve Harmon, an amateur filmmaker, is on trial for the murder of a Harlem drugstore owner and could face the death penalty.
