Featuring: The Other Typist
by Suzanne Rindell
This debut novel begins as an enjoyable story of a young
woman who is a typist in a New York City police precinct in the 1920s, but her
life is suddenly interrupted by the dramatic introduction of a new typist who
changes everything.
Featuring: Doll Bones by
Holly Black
Three friends take a journey to bury a haunted object and
along with it, perhaps, their shared make-believe world. But hopefully not.

I Go by Jonathan Tropper

life-threatening heart condition, but the result is hilarious.

experiences to explore the anxiety, rationalizations, compromises, and
overpowering love that come with raising children in contemporary America.

future events; when Violet publicly predicts a devastating earthquake, Kate
struggles with her discomfort over their abilities.
