From the Editor - September 2025

For many, September is a time of new adventures — a new school year, learning to read. If you’re Bean, every day is an adventure; see our Five Questions interview with Stephanie Graegin. And see Five Questions for the 2025 Massachusetts Book Award winners for books about two very different kinds of adventures: in nature, and with zombies!

National Hispanic Heritage Latine/x Heritage Month also begins in September (running from September 15 through October 15); a few recommended titles for intermediate through high school students are here, and find many more reviews, articles, interviews, and links here. Whether it means pumpkin spice, apples and honey, or Halloween candy, happy almost fall!

From the September 2025 issue of Notes from the Horn Book.
