The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
Title: The Berry Pickers Author: Amanda Peters
Review: A little girl goes missing from the Maine blueberry fields, sending her family into despair. The story defies expectations by introducing a clear answer to its mystery from the beginning, so the reader is left to question "why" instead of "how." However, this leaves you to realize it's not so much about the mystery, but the strength of familial bonds and cultural difficulties faced by indigenous people.

Babel by R.F. Kuang
Title: Babel Author: R.F. Kuang
Review: Set at Oxford in the 1830s, the story follows Robin Swift, an orphan from Canton who has just recently become a first-year student at the esteemed university. The magic system based off of silver-working and translation is truly imaginative, and the meticulous manner in which Kuang dissects and critiques the structures of power and inequality at the time is absolutely astounding. If you’ve ever enjoyed titles such as The Secret History or Piranesi before, Babel should be the next book on your to-be-read list!
