If you are in grades 4\, 5 or 6 and love t o read and have fun talking about books and characters\, No Shelf Control is the place for you! To start our second year\, we'll read "Concealed" by Christina Diaz Gonzalez\, the story of Joanna (well\, the next day\, she' s Katrina!) whose family is in the Witness Protection Program and constant ly moving to avoid danger. If that wasn't enough\, she can't remember anyt hing from before an accident she was 10. Follow her as she struggles to le arn about her past\, make friends and lead as much of a normal life as she can\, and figure out who exactly she really is. In conjunction with Hispa nic American Heritage month\, the book is both by a Cuban-American author and features a Cuban-American main character. "Concealed" was the 2022 win ner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award for Best Children's My stery. \;
