Nathan Pyle
" A book of comics best suited for teens-adults from Pyle's hilarious and popular Instagram account, in addition to a handful exclusively published in the book. The illustrations are cute, but the dialogue is really where Pyle shines. The aliens' commentary on mundane situations will make human readers see their own mundane lives in a new way! This book is available in print at SWCPL and digitally on Overdrive." Recommended by Anna Richey
Erik Larson
"Erik Larson's books never disappoint. This one chronicles just one year - mid 1940 through mid 1941 -of Winston Churchill's British leadership, a devastating year when London begins to experience the terrible bombardment of the Nazi regime. Stories are revealed through diary entries, personal accounts and archival records which make the details even more powerful to the reader. An extensive researcher, Larson has written another masterpiece." Recommended by Vicki Builta
P. Craig Russel, adaptor
"This graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's classic young adult novel by the same name has gorgeous and evocative pictures (created by a team of illustrators) and follows the plot of the first half of the original story. The first scene could be a little too scary and gory for young or sensitive readers, but most of the book is just spooky fun. Highly recommended for teens and older readers!"
Jane Smiley
"Perestroika - a racehorse - escapes from the track where she has recently competed. Her experiences as she travels around Paris and develops friendships with a dog, a raven, a rat and others, are heartwarming. Life on the streets of the City of Light can be perilous, but this endearing team embodies love and cooperation. It's nice to read an uplifting tale once in awhile!" Recommended by Vicki Builta
Maggie O'Farrell
"A fictionalized tale of the life of William Shakespeare's family in the late 1500s, the book's focus is the aftermath of the death of son Hamnet from the bubonic plague. The story is told primarily by Shakespeare's wife Agnes, a woman of intelligence, unique interests, and insight. The devastation of grief and loss impacts all, whether they are in Stratford (Agnes, her in-laws, their remaining children) or London (Shakespeare)." Recommended by Vicki Builta
Aimee Nezhukumatathil
"The author has lived in many parts of the country over the course of her life and nature has always served as a valuable connection to her past, her family and new surroundings. This book is lovely to look at, and also beautifully and expertly conceived. Nezhukumatathil's background as a poet shines through in her prose." Recommended by Vicki Builta
