MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteLong Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls: A Memoir, by T Kira Madden (Bloomsbury Publishing, $18) “Madden has no limits when it comes to the ones she loves—her cool and free older friends, her Internet-famous first girlfriend, her mother, her father, and us, the fortunate readers. She accomplishes one of the great feats of a memoir: in telling the story of her life, she translates its remarkable aspects (for one, her father worked for Jordan Belfort and was, yes, a wolf of Wall Street) while making the commonplace (love for one’s parents) remarkable. And, man, that last section—it’ll knock you loose.” —Molly Moore, BookPeople, Austin, TX

For Teen Readers Tigers, Not Daughters, by Samantha Mabry (Algonquin Young Readers, $17.95) “Haunting and magical, Tigers, Not Daughters follows the lives of three young women one year after the death of their eldest sister, Ana — and it seems her presence still lingers. There’s Iridian, the writer; Rosa, the quiet observer; and Jessica, who strives to become the embodiment of who Ana once was. Now Ana leaves ominous signs and messages for her sisters, but whether she’s warning them or antagonizing them, none can say. Mabry’s writing is so lyrical and enrapturing, I would have been happy to follow the Torres girls wherever their intuitive hearts took them long after the last page.” —Andrew King, University Book Store, Seattle, WA
For Ages 9 to 12 Stand Up, Yumi Chung! by Jessica Kim (Kokila, $16.99) “Yumi Chung has a dream of being a stand-up comedian, but her parents aren’t on board. Suddenly, Yumi finds herself with a chance to attend a summer camp with her all-time favorite comedian, except everyone thinks Yumi is someone else. This book is hilarious, heartbreaking, and heartwarming all at once. And in the end, you will absolutely be standing up and cheering for Yumi Chung!” —Sarah True, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Cincinnati, OH
