Spring is officially here, and while it might still be a bit chilly to open all the windows to let the fresh air in, it's always a good time of year to open the pages of a new book and let in fresh perspectives such as Luis Alberto Urrea's The House of Broken Angels and Children of Blood and Bone, the first in a new young adult fantasy series rooted in the traditions of West Africa. These are just a taste of the fourteen reviews and beyond the book articles to read in this issue, plus much more besides. Enjoy!
