The BookBreak team joins the children's literature community in mourning the loss of Jane Yolen, an incredible author, poet, and pillar. From Owl Moon to The Devil's Arithmetic and on to dinosaurs and dragons, her 450 books touched all of our lives. We send love to her family and friends.
Pictured below: BookBreak Director Yapha Mason with Jane Yolen at the Rochester Children & Teen's Book Festival in 2018.
After leaving Earth, Rostam Zamini had just gotten used to life on Enceladus—one of Saturn’s many moons—only to once again have to move when one of his moms gets a fancy new job on dusty and dull Pars-1.
Rostam had worked hard and managed to make friends on Enceladus, but none of the Pars-1 kids seem to be impressed with Rostam’s big-city background. In desperate need of some space cred, Rostam makes a deal with Zahhak—a centuries-old demon prince—for popularity in exchange for the golden mace described in The Persian Book of Kings.
But when Rostam hands the mace over, he unknowingly plunges the planet into darkness by accidentally killing their ancient sun, a red giant. Now he must right his wrongs and save his new home before it’s too late.
We chatted with about her new middle grade book, ROSTAM WRECKS THE REALM and learned a little more about this Persian Book of Kings retelling and you can check it out with the link in bio!

We’re back for another What are you reading Wednesday?! brought to you by the BookBreak team!
Today’s suggestion is from Yapha Mason, BookBreak’s Director of Programs & Operations. She REALLY knows her stuff!
“I’m reading Breakout by Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon. These are the authors who brought you Blackout and Whiteout. They’re back with another mystery/thriller told in flashbacks and multiple points of view.”
Thanks Yapha! What do you all think? Is this one going in your summer TBR pile?
