Mystery
A coming-of-age story told in the tradition of the Brothers Grimm
The Vanishing of Katharina Linden: A Novel
by Helen Grant
A
winne r aLa a : lex award
fter Pia’s grandmother dies in a freak accident, the neighbors in her little German hometown of Bad Münstereifel glance at Pia with wary eyes. But then something else captures the community’s attention: the vanishing of Katharina Linden. Katharina was last seen at a parade, dressed as Snow White. Then, like a character in a Grimm’s fairy tale, she disappeared. Tenyear-old Pia and her only friend, the unpopular StinkStefan, suspect that Katharina has been spirited away by the supernatural. Their investigation is inspired by such local legends as that of Unshockable Hans, visited by witches in the form of cats, or of the knight whose son is doomed to hunt forever. Then another girl vanishes, and Pia is plunged into a new and unnerving place, one far away from fairy tales—and perilously close to adulthood.
“Both a wonderful first novel and a strange, haunting modern fairy tale.”

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel
by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith Adapted by Tony Lee; Illustrated by Cliff Richards t is known as “the strange plague,” and its unfortunate victims are referred to only as “unmentionables” or “dreadfuls.” All over England, the dead are rising again, and now even the daughters of Britain’s best families must devote their lives to mastering the deadly arts. Elizabeth Bennet is a fearsome warrior whose ability with a sword is matched only by her quick wit and even sharper tongue. But she faces her most formidable foe yet in the haughty, conceited, and somehow strangely attractive Mr. Darcy. As the pair meets in the ballroom and on the battlefield, they’ll soon learn that nothing— not even bands of ninjas, hordes of flesh-eating zombies, or disapproving aunts—can stop true love.

ong ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.

his rediscovered masterpiece, lost after World War II, was translated for the first time into English last year by Melville House, and became one of the year’s most acclaimed books. It presents a rich detailed portrait of life in Berlin under the Nazis, and tells a sweeping saga of one working-class couple who decides to take a stand against the Nazis when their only son is killed at the front. With nothing but their grief and each other pitted against the awesome power of the Reich, they launch a simple, clandestine resistance campaign that soon has enraged Gestapo on their trail, and a world of terrified neighbors and cynical snitches ready to turn them in.

Adventure
Get inside the awesome world of cave-diving
Blind Descent
by James M. Tabor
The Quest to Discover the Deepest Cave on Earth
A
t the beginning of the new millennium, the earth’s deepest cave—the supercave—remained undiscovered. In 2004, two great scientist-explorers attempted to find the bottom of the world. American Bill Stone was committed to the vast Cheve Cave, located in Southern Mexico and deadly even by supercave standards. On the other side of the globe, the Ukrainian explorer Alexander Klimchouk targeted Krubera, a freezing nightmare of a supercave in the Republic of Georgia. In Blind Descent, journalist James M. Tabor draws on unprecedented access to logs, journals, photographs, video footage, and interviews with the participants to describe the thousand-foot drops, deadly flooded tunnels, raging whitewater rivers, monstrous waterfalls, and mile-long belly crawls encountered along the way. This book is a compelling addition to the literature of scientific discovery.

With harrowing directness, she tells of abuse at her husband’s hands and of her daring escape. With the help of local advocates and the press, Nujood obtained her freedom—an extraordinary achievement in Yemen, where almost half of all girls are married under the legal age. Her courageous defiance of both Yemeni customs and her own family even inspired other young girls in the Middle East to challenge their marriages. Featuring a new epilogue that describes Nujood’s life today, this is an unforgettable story of tragedy, triumph, and courage.

apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence? In this fascinating book, Wes Moore sets out to answer this profound question. In alternating narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

Memoir
“Half my life ago, I killed a girl. . .” so begins Darin Strauss’s brutally honest, yet ultimately hopeful examination of guilt, responsibility, and living with the past
Half a Life A Memoir
by Darin Strauss
n this powerful, unforgettable memoir, acclaimed novelist Darin Strauss recounts a tragedy and its aftermath. In the last month of his high school career, just after turning eighteen, Strauss is behind the wheel of his father’s Oldsmobile, driving with friends, having “thoughts of mini-golf, another thought of maybe just going to the beach.” Then out of the blue: a collision that results in the death of a bicycling classmate and that shadows the rest of his life. In haunting, penetrating prose, Darin Strauss explores loss and guilt, maturity and accountability, hope and acceptance. The result is a staggering, uplifting tour de force.

Four siblings recall the tragedy of losing their parents when they were young, and the journey they took to become a family once again
The Kids Are All Right
by Diana Welch, Liz Welch, Amanda Welch and Dan Welch
“P
erfect is boring.” Well, 1982 certainly Winne r wasn’t boring for the Welch family. aLa a : lex Somehow, between their handsome award father’s mysterious death, their glamorous soap opera star mother’s cancer diagnosis, and a phalanx of lawyers intent on bankruptcy proceedings, the four Welch siblings managed to handle each new heartbreaking misfortune together. But all that changed with the death of their mother. While nineteen-year-old Amanda was legally on her own, the three younger siblings—Liz, 16; Dan, 14 and Diana, 8—were each dispersed to a different set of family friends. Told in the alternating voices of the four siblings, this memoir tells their poignant, harrowing story of growing up as lost souls, taking disastrous turns along the way, but eventually coming out right side up. The kids are not only all right; they’re together at last.
“In indelible voices, each Welch contradicts, embellishes or supports the others’ memories, creating a blisteringly funny, heart-scorching tale of remarkable kids shattered by tragedy and finally brought back together by love.”

Mystery
A coming-of-age story told in the tradition of the Brothers Grimm
The Vanishing of Katharina Linden: A Novel
by Helen Grant
A
winne r aLa a : lex award
fter Pia’s grandmother dies in a freak accident, the neighbors in her little German hometown of Bad Münstereifel glance at Pia with wary eyes. But then something else captures the community’s attention: the vanishing of Katharina Linden. Katharina was last seen at a parade, dressed as Snow White. Then, like a character in a Grimm’s fairy tale, she disappeared. Tenyear-old Pia and her only friend, the unpopular StinkStefan, suspect that Katharina has been spirited away by the supernatural. Their investigation is inspired by such local legends as that of Unshockable Hans, visited by witches in the form of cats, or of the knight whose son is doomed to hunt forever. Then another girl vanishes, and Pia is plunged into a new and unnerving place, one far away from fairy tales—and perilously close to adulthood.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel
by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith Adapted by Tony Lee; Illustrated by Cliff Richards t is known as “the strange plague,” and its unfortunate victims are referred to only as “unmentionables” or “dreadfuls.” All over England, the dead are rising again, and now even the daughters of Britain’s best families must devote their lives to mastering the deadly arts. Elizabeth Bennet is a fearsome warrior whose ability with a sword is matched only by her quick wit and even sharper tongue. But she faces her most formidable foe yet in the haughty, conceited, and somehow strangely attractive Mr. Darcy. As the pair meets in the ballroom and on the battlefield, they’ll soon learn that nothing— not even bands of ninjas, hordes of flesh-eating zombies, or disapproving aunts—can stop true love.

ong ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.

his rediscovered masterpiece, lost after World War II, was translated for the first time into English last year by Melville House, and became one of the year’s most acclaimed books. It presents a rich detailed portrait of life in Berlin under the Nazis, and tells a sweeping saga of one working-class couple who decides to take a stand against the Nazis when their only son is killed at the front. With nothing but their grief and each other pitted against the awesome power of the Reich, they launch a simple, clandestine resistance campaign that soon has enraged Gestapo on their trail, and a world of terrified neighbors and cynical snitches ready to turn them in.

Adventure
Get inside the awesome world of cave-diving
Blind Descent
by James M. Tabor
The Quest to Discover the Deepest Cave on Earth
A
t the beginning of the new millennium, the earth’s deepest cave—the supercave—remained undiscovered. In 2004, two great scientist-explorers attempted to find the bottom of the world. American Bill Stone was committed to the vast Cheve Cave, located in Southern Mexico and deadly even by supercave standards. On the other side of the globe, the Ukrainian explorer Alexander Klimchouk targeted Krubera, a freezing nightmare of a supercave in the Republic of Georgia. In Blind Descent, journalist James M. Tabor draws on unprecedented access to logs, journals, photographs, video footage, and interviews with the participants to describe the thousand-foot drops, deadly flooded tunnels, raging whitewater rivers, monstrous waterfalls, and mile-long belly crawls encountered along the way. This book is a compelling addition to the literature of scientific discovery.

apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence? In this fascinating book, Wes Moore sets out to answer this profound question. In alternating narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

“Half my life ago, I killed a girl. . .” so begins Darin Strauss’s brutally honest, yet ultimately hopeful examination of guilt, responsibility, and living with the past
Half a Life A Memoir
by Darin Strauss
n this powerful, unforgettable memoir, acclaimed novelist Darin Strauss recounts a tragedy and its aftermath. In the last month of his high school career, just after turning eighteen, Strauss is behind the wheel of his father’s Oldsmobile, driving with friends, having “thoughts of mini-golf, another thought of maybe just going to the beach.” Then out of the blue: a collision that results in the death of a bicycling classmate and that shadows the rest of his life. In haunting, penetrating prose, Darin Strauss explores loss and guilt, maturity and accountability, hope and acceptance. The result is a staggering, uplifting tour de force.

The Kids Are All Right
by Diana Welch, Liz Welch, Amanda Welch and Dan Welch
“P
erfect is boring.” Well, 1982 certainly Winne r wasn’t boring for the Welch family. aLa a : lex Somehow, between their handsome award father’s mysterious death, their glamorous soap opera star mother’s cancer diagnosis, and a phalanx of lawyers intent on bankruptcy proceedings, the four Welch siblings managed to handle each new heartbreaking misfortune together. But all that changed with the death of their mother. While nineteen-year-old Amanda was legally on her own, the three younger siblings—Liz, 16; Dan, 14 and Diana, 8—were each dispersed to a different set of family friends. Told in the alternating voices of the four siblings, this memoir tells their poignant, harrowing story of growing up as lost souls, taking disastrous turns along the way, but eventually coming out right side up. The kids are not only all right; they’re together at last.
“In indelible voices, each Welch contradicts, embellishes or supports the others’ memories, creating a blisteringly funny, heart-scorching tale of remarkable kids shattered by tragedy and finally brought back together by love.”
