2024 brings two new titles: Future Tense, a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard title about artificial intelligence. It’s a must-read for anyone wanting to understand how AI works and how it will affect our lives. And then there’s the hilarious Frank and the Big Mistake, the conclusion of the Frank & Series for new readers. The whole set will be out in hardback and paperback in November!
