MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteSetting Free the Kites: A Novel, by Alex George (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, $16) “This heartfelt and compelling novel from A Good American author Alex George is a story of friendship, loss, and how we deal with grief, a story about how a single friendship can change us forever. Yet again, George has developed beautiful, layered characters and you will quickly fall in love with Nathan, Robert, and Liam in blustery seaside Maine in the 1970s. You will hear the excitement each hot, blistering summer of children and families visiting the amusement park owned by Robert’s family. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will grieve, but you will not be disappointed.” —Amanda Zirn, Bethany Beach Books, Bethany Beach, DE

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

For Teen Readers You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone, by Rachel Lynn Solomon (Simon Pulse, $17.99) “Twins Tovah and Adina are completely different in almost every way. Their one commonality? The genes they share with their dying mother. Each twin has a 50/50 chance that their bright future may be cut short with the same genetic disorder, and, now 18, they can finally find out their fate. After the genetic test results are in, they have to reexamine what it means to live and to be ready to die. This is an honest and heartwarming story about luck, love, and trusting your fate.” —Kim Bissell, Broadway Books, Portland, OR

IndiesIntroduce

For Ages 9 to 12 Escape From Aleppo, by N.H. Senzai (Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman Books, $16.99) “Escape From Aleppo is an exceptional and heart-wrenching story with beautiful prose, vivid imagery, and one incredibly resilient young girl. Although the book doesn’t shy away from Nadia’s post-traumatic stress and the hardships she encounters, Senzai manages to balance this with Nadia’s belief in stories, the goodness of others, and the positive power of religion, keeping the story realistic but not too heavy for middle-grade readers.” —Sami Thomason, Square Books, Oxford, MS
