We’re plunging full into summer reading, meaning some lighter books that bring the fun for all ages, though it’s not all fun and games. Kidnapping robots, djinns and their wishes, and extraordinary children are just a sampling of what’s new to science fiction and fantasy bookshelves in June. There are some great LGBTQIA+ offerings, a strong thread of romance woven into some of these books, and more than a little fright in these adventures, too. And this is only a taste of all the great new books hitting shelves on Tuesdays in June. Whether you’re looking for middle grade, young adult, or adult novels, we’ve got speculative fiction options for everybody. Let’s get a little science-y and a little fantastical, shall we? What other science fiction and fantasy books are you looking forward to this month? Let me know on Twitter @ChrisMArnone. She makes a deal with a shadow creature called The Clackity and is transported to a dangerous, magical land. Evie is searching there for her aunt while being pursued by witches, spirits, and a long-dead serial killer of Blight Harbor. Venkat helps shape these harvested dreams, apprentice to a lord working to use these dreams to end an ages-long war between the naga and geruda. When something goes awry when Tanvi is harvesting dreams, some of her memories return. She turns to Venkat for help, and they’re soon swept up into an adventure that could change Nagalok forever.
