MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteDodgers: A Novel, by Bill Beverly (Broadway Books, $15) “Four young black men, following orders, leave their tightly bound South Central Los Angeles community, and drive across the country to perform a hit to prevent a witness from testifying against their boss. They are ghetto born, raised, and trained, so they have outlaw skills and the resulting respect in their community. In wide-open America, they are profoundly out of their comfort zone. What each young man does with his skills, wits, sense of duty, and—for one in particular—a dawning sense of what the future holds for such a lifestyle forms the core of this powerful novel. Provocative, gripping, and timely, Dodgers is a riveting read that leaves a lasting impression.” —Sheryl Cotleur, Copperfield’s Books, Sebastopol, CA

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT
= Debut
For Teen Readers History Is All You Left Me, by Adam Silvera (Soho Teen, $18.99) “When Theo is ripped from Griffin’s life in a freak accident, the emptiness left behind sends Griffin into a downward emotional spiral. Griffin always believed that even though they broke up when Theo left for college, they would someday end up together. How can you exist when your entire world washes away beneath you? Silvera’s book is an unapologetically honest and heart-wrenchingly beautiful story about first love and loss and the cathartic process of diving headfirst into one’s grief to come out a better person on the other side. An absolutely stunning novel.” —Angelo Santini, McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petoskey, MI
★
For Ages 9 to 12 NewsPrints, by Ru Xu (Graphix, $12.99) “When newsboy Blue—who is really a girl—stumbles into an apprenticeship with a zany inventor and meets a boy named Crow, she doesn’t expect to be dragged into a conspiracy involving her newspaper, her country’s military, and dangerous weaponry. But Blue doesn’t mind adventure and she’s ready to protect her new friend at any cost. Ru Xu’s inventive steampunk world is the perfect backdrop for a story about choosing: choosing identity, choosing friends, and choosing to fight and protect your choices. Heartfelt and beautifully illustrated.” —Nicole Brinkley, Oblong Books & Music, Millerton, NY
