Another “best of list” is ready for you just in time for the last day of 2017! Usher in the new year by staying up way past your bed time to finish one of our best chapter book picks. Although I can’t imagine anything better, if you do have other plans for the last night of 2017, postpone your reading for one day. But one day only! Make it a resolution to read more in 2018 and to read more widely! Try a different genre, different format, something funny, historical, realistic, adorable. No matter when or what you do decide to start reading in 2018, staff has put together a great list below, full of some of our favorite chapter books and graphic novels published in the last year.
