February is Black History Month, a popular time for novels and non-fiction about African Americans. Here are four new titles for young readers.Author Kelly Starling Lyons was researching her family’s roots when she came upon a copy of the 1866 Cohabitation List of Henry County, Va. As Lyons learned, the end of the Civil War meant that former slaves, living as husband and wife, could have their unions legally recognized by the Freedman’s Bureau. That inspired a heartwarming story about how a young girl discovers the symbolic value of a broom. (Slaves once staged weddings using brooms they leap over “into life together.”) Daniel Minter’s vividly colored block prints are brilliant.Margaree King Mitchell’s young narrator, Belle, tells a story that’s influenced by segregation, but not limited by it. In Mississippi, Belle’s grandmother can’t read or write, but loves to sing. When Grandmama is invited to tour with a jazz group, Belle goes along to help her “read signs and menus and such.” Among the signs: WHITES ONLY. Grandmama dreams of singing in a place “where black people and white people aren’t kept apart.” James E. Ransome’s lovely soft watercolors support the text.Before she became a writer at The New Yorker and a reporter for The New York Times and PBS, Charlayne Hunter-Gault made news. In 1961, at age 19, she was one of the two black students to desegregate the University of Georgia. (The same year, she notes, Barack Obama was born.) Her personal account including a brick thrown through her dormitory window adds to the richness of her civil rights history, perfect for middle-schoolers. A bonus: archival newspaper articles and black-and-white photos. Most striking are two from Atlanta, 1960: white-robed Klan members, marching downtown in broad daylight; and, in police handcuffs, Martin Luther King Jr.The two kids at the heart of this playful history are asked to name some black scientists. Their only answer: George Washington Carver, “the peanut guy.” But a handyman hired to repair their house is a walking encyclopedia. He knows about Henry Sampson, who in 1971 invented the gamma electric cell, which converts radiation into electricity, and Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer, who in 1991 created the first Super Soaker. The text, co-written by basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, is supplemented by flaps that open to more facts.

More than five years after the end of A Series of Unfortunate Events, which sold more than 60 million copies, Lemony Snicket (the pen name for Daniel Handler) is writing a new series for kids. Who Could That Be at This Hour?, to be released Oct. 23, is the first in a four-volume series, “All the Wrong Questions,” to be published by Little Brown.It will be illustrated by Seth, pen name for cartoonist Gregory Gallant (Palookaville). Little Brown says the first printing will be 1 million copies. The series imagines Snicket’s childhood in what the publisher describes as a “fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted,” and chronicles his experiences as “an apprentice in an organization nobody knows about.” Snicket himself warns: “These books are questionable and contain questions. I, for one, question why anyone would be interested in reading them.”Written under his name, Handler’s most recent book, Why We Broke Up, illustrated by Maria Kalman, is a young adult novel that received 3 and 1/2 stars in a USA TODAY review.It describes what happens when young love strikes hard and fast for a Jewish girl, bewitched by old movies, who falls for the captain of her high school basketball team. Three of Snicket’s 13 Unfortunate titles reached No. 1 on USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list.It took Madeleine L’Engle two years to find a publisher for her 1962 novel, A Wrinkle in Time. Most editors feared the sci-fi/fantasy about a young girl’s quest to save her physicist dad from IT, a giant pulsating brain, would be too tough for kids. Librarians disagreed and awarded it the Newbery Medal. On the book’s 50th anniversary, a look at the numbers:10 million: Number of copies in print 90th: Ranking on the American Library Association’s list of “most challenged” books (objections have ranged from L’Engle’s “occultic worldview” to her overt Christianity)60: Number of books written by L’Engle, who died in 2007 at 88.26: Rejection letters L’Engle received before her novel was bought by a friend of a friend, John Farrar of Farrar, Straus and Giroux.1: Copy sent into space in 1997aboard the space shuttle Endeavor with astronaut Janice Voss, who says the novel sparked her interest in space when she was in sixth grade.1: Other Newbery Award-winning novel that’s a homage to A Wrinkle in Time: Rebecca Stead’s When You Reach Me (2009). Stead’s main character reads A Wrinkle in Time.
