Baby Teeth: A Novel, by Zoje Stage (St. Martin’s Press, $26.99) “I am a little afraid to write a review after finishing this book because I have the terrible feeling that I’m being watched, this due to the suspicion that seven-year-old Hannah has jumped from the pages of the book straight into my head—something she undoubtedly planned the entire time, despite the obvious impossibility of it all. I could not put this book down—simply fascinating.” —Debra Barrett, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Chatham, MA

Other Indie FavoritesKill the Farm Boy: The Tales of Pell, by Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne (Del Rey Books, $27) “Wildly unpredictable, tremendously goofy, and brilliantly inventive, Kill the Farm Boy is a laugh-out-loud fantasy trope extravaganza. A talking goat, a fierce warrior, a bumbling rogue, a wannabe dark wizard, and an enchanted bard set out on a quest full of adventure, mishaps, and lots of cheese. I can’t count the number of times I giggled, snorted, and chuckled at a clever quip or ludicrous joke. Fans of Monty Python and Robin Hood: Men in Tights will definitely find Kill the Farm Boy to their liking.” —Sami Thomason, Square Books, Oxford, MS

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteForest Dark: A Novel, by Nicole Krauss (Harper Perennial, $16.99) “No surprise: Forest Dark was worth the wait. Tapping into intellectual and deeply personal moments, the two main characters are ones to identify with even as the circumstances they find themselves in are fantastic. Krauss’ reflections about marriage are poignant, and there is a lot to contemplate. At first, I enjoyed having moments when I wasn’t reading to think, but toward the end I found myself not being able to put it down.” —Kira Wizner, Merritt Bookstore, Millbrook, NY

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

= Debut

For Teen Readers Neverworld Wake, by Marisha Pessl (Delacorte Press, $18.99) “Neverworld Wake begins like a young adult version of Groundhog Day, with a group of young people experiencing the same 11 hours over and over, trapped in a purgatory. One will be allowed to live while the others will die—and they must unanimously vote on it! Mysteries and secrets from the past intertwine with the dangers of the present in this wonderfully dark fantasy novel. Pessl delves into the psyche of young people, exposing traumas and fears that are usually well-hidden. The finale is stunning—a brilliant piece of psychological drama that is both suspenseful and, ultimately, incredibly moving.” —William Carl, Wellesley Books, Wellesley, MA

IndiesIntroduce

For Ages 9 to 12 Breakout, by Kate Messner (Bloomsbury, $17.99) “The format of Breakout—a collection of notes and recordings for a time capsule—was a great way to really get to know the book’s characters. As a former English teacher, I know that this book will be beneficial for teaching voice and character development in English classes. By the end, I couldn’t put it down for anything! I loved the poetry and history that swirled throughout—thank you, Kate Messner, yet again!” —Shelley Lowe, Monkey and Dog Books, Fort Worth, TX

Jessica Love’s illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and perfectly portray Julián’s wish to be a magical creature. This is a delightfully simple story that explores gender expression and individuality. Careful details also help communicate Julián’s fear of revealing his identity to his abuela, an important representation of emotions that kids need to help them handle all kinds of situations.” —Johanna Albrecht, McIntyre’s Books, Pittsboro, NC
