Stephanie KloseGirls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani believes that teaching girls computer skills will help them save the world; she works toward that goal with an August nonfiction release and the launch title of a new series of novels about girls who code, both aimed at middle grade listeners. Teens (and many adults) will be excited about Leigh Bardugo's story of young Wonder Woman, in which Diana risks the wrath of the Amazons to save a mortal teenager. Fiction fans will relish new series installments from Sue Grafton, Louise Penny, and Treasure Hernandez, as well as debuts, including Alyssa Cole's romance between Civil War spies and Felicia Yap's speculative thriller. Listeners who prefer nonfiction about the outdoors may enjoy Miriam Horn's profile of unexpected conservationists or Eva Shockey's memoir of being a young female bowhunter.
