What resulted is a warm, thoughtful range of reflections on tomato plants, high fives, and airport security. The Book of Delights is a companion to keep with you, whether on your nightstand, in the bathtub, or on the subway, for a brief moment of emotional respite.

    MASS MARKET

    Another Indie FavoriteThe New Me: A Novel, by Halle Butler (Penguin Books, $16) “Halle Butler so perfectly depicts a young woman who has no direction in life in The New Me. She’s just going to work in order to get a paycheck for rent and groceries, just so she can live to go to work again—the vicious cycle many in our society find themselves in today. The New Me is juicy and kind of like watching the perfect train wreck. You know you should look away, but instead you can’t put the book down. Highly recommended for fellow lovers of contemporary fiction.” —Kristen Beverly, Half Price Books, Dallas, TX

    = Debut

    For Teen Readers Izzy + Tristan, by Shannon Dunlap (Poppy, $17.99) “Putting her own spin on the age-old story of star-crossed love, Shannon Dunlap’s incredible first novel is a solid reminder as to why I continue to read and sell books on a daily basis. I challenge anyone out there to read the prologue of Izzy + Tristan and not fall head-over-heels for this lovely debut.” —Javier Ramirez, The Book Table, Oak Park, IL

    IndiesIntroduce

    For Ages 9 to 12 Arlo Finch in the Lake of the Moon, by John August (Roaring Brook Press, $16.99) “The mysteries of the Long Woods deepen in this surprising sequel as Arlo and friends head off to Camp Redfeather for the summer. It’s a camping experience just like you remember—if your summer camp came with doppelgängers, time travel, and a lake monster! Author John August’s masterstroke is making us love Arlo Finch in the Lake of the Moon even more than the first book in the series. Anyone who read and enjoyed Arlo Finch in the Valley of Fire is going to devour book two.” —Gibran Graham, The Briar Patch, Bangor, ME

(Knopf Books for Young Readers, $17.99) “In this adorably illustrated book, we learn we can all be a grouchy curmudgeon at times. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to cheer up a friend or sibling who refuses to look on the lighter side of life. At some point, you may even find that cheering them up is making you grumpy. So be careful if you try to budge a curmudgeon, because you just might find yourself turning into one.” —Kidron Mariotti, Octavia Books, New Orleans, LA
