📚 Happy New Book Tuesday

This week in new books, we say good-bye to this season with books about gardening and springtime.

🌱In The Someday Garden (Poston) The new head gardener at Lilymoor House stumbles upon a secret garden, with a mysterious man inside; she might be the only person who knows what Lilymoor needs to bloom.
🌱In A Murder in Springtime (Walker), a newcomer to St. Denis is found dead at the home of one of Bruno's best friends--and for once, Bruno feels he is too close to investigate, until it becomes clear that he's the only person who can solve the crime.
🌱 For teen readers: in Tangled Roots & Wild Dreams (Velez) Ezzie Ramos is a champion secret keeper. Her biggest secret - she's interning at Sprout, the urban garden she discovered her father founded just before he died, giving her seven weeks to learn who Papi really was.
