Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Hop on over there to ogle what other bloggers got this week.
For review:
Sports Illustrated Kids: My First Book of Hockey: mostly everything explained about the game. A Rookie Book. Liberty Street/ Time Inc. Books, September 20, 2016. 9781618931771.
Publisher synopsis: Next up in the fan-favorite Rookie Book series, Sports Illustrated Kids explains the coolest game in the world to its youngest fans.
The puck drops, skates flash, and sticks fly-a hockey game is underway! With a fun mix of Sports Illustrated action photography, simple text, a full glossary of terms, and cool graphics, My First Book of Hockey introduces readers to the basics. Kids (and maybe a few adults, too!) will learn how power plays work, how the three-period game flows, what a hat trick is, what's up with the referee's crease, and more.
An illustrated "rookie" character appears on every page, guiding the reader moment by moment, and helping to make My First Book of Hockey an ideal shared reading experience between parents and their young rookies before, during, and after the game.

Run by Kody Keplinger. Unabridged audiobook on one MP3 CD. 7 hours, 30 minutes. Performed by Em Eldridge and Elizabeth Evans. Brilliance Audio, August 9, 2016. 9781501200892.
Publisher synopsis: Bo Dickinson is a girl with a wild reputation, a deadbeat dad, and a mama who's not exactly sober most of the time. Everyone in town knows the Dickinsons are a bad lot, but Bo doesn't care what anyone thinks.
Agnes Atwood has never gone on a date, never even stayed out past ten, and never broken any of her parents' overbearing rules. Rules that are meant to protect their legally blind daughter—protect her from what, Agnes isn't quite sure.
Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. And it's the sort of friendship that runs truer and deeper than anything else.
So when Bo shows up in the middle of the night, with police sirens wailing in the distance, desperate to get out of town, Agnes doesn't hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo's dad, staying ahead of the authorities, and—worst of all—confronting some ugly secrets.
That's what's new with me. What's new with you?
Oo, an audiobook! I haven't tried an audiobook, but I have a few recs accumulated. I haven't read anything by Kody but I'm curious about her books. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
