NEW RELEASES
Hardcovers 
Fifteen years after the publication of Push, one year after the Academy Award-winning film adaptation, Sapphire gives voice to Precious's son, Abdul.
 More than twenty bestselling authors team up to create a first-rate serial novel -- producing a gripping, spellbinding mystery. Alexander McCall Smith. Sandra Brown. Faye Kellerman. J.A. Jance. Jeffery Deaver. Kathy Reichs. Lisa Scottoline. Jeff Lindsay. These are only a handful of the names that make up the all-star lineup of authors behind No Rest for the Dead, a tale of vengeance, greed, and love that flows seamlessly, in the words of David Baldacci, "as it passes from one creator's mind to the next."
Annotation: Vecsey delivers the
definitive profile of the greatest hitter (yet most taken-for-granted star)
in National League history: Stanley Frank Musial--otherwise known as Stan
the Man.
Mystery, magic, corruption, and betrayal abound (plus just enough laughs to take the edge off) for Olive, Morton and the new kid next door, Rutherford. You'll never guess what happens next in this thrilling, chilling second volume in the critically acclaimed series for kids 9-12.
Paperbacks
The hottest bestseller of last June is finally out in paperback! Likened to Stephen King, Cronin delivers an epic that is part science-fiction and part horror. A recommendation from our staff member Maria: "Yes, this is a big book and yes you should read it! The best thing about an 'epic' book is that you are pulled into the story and you get to remain there for a satisfyingly long time."
Emma Donohue's unique thriller is already available in paperback. If you didn't take the plunge before, be sure to now. "This one had me up all night. The arc of the story is unusual, and the writing is concise all the way through. it is a story of captivity, escape, and the aftermath. (To say more would ruin it!) - Christine G., owner

 Elizabeth's new after-school job at a lending library of artifacts turns magical when she's introduced to the ground floor, and the Grimm Collection. "This is a great book for tween and teen fans of Harry Potter or The Sisters Grimm. Shelman meets the yearning we have for hidden magic in our everyday lives." - Marianne A.
"This book is about Ty, who helps his friend Gemma find her brother. Houses underwater have collapsible walls, and to go swimming in the deep ocean you must fill your lungs with liquigen, a liquid oxygen. There's also crew of outlaws called the Seablite Gang. But everything is not what it seems." Paxson G.
