MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteThe Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees, by Meredith May (Park Row, $16.99) “I loved this perfect memoir so much that I read it twice and already know that it will be one of my favorites of the year. Meredith May learns to withstand pain, loss, and grief through the lessons her beloved grandfather teaches her. Grandpa shows May and her brother love, patience, and understanding using honeybees as an example of how to survive and thrive in a confusing world. I cannot wait to put this moving, emotionally compelling memoir into many hands this spring!” —Diane Grumhaus, Lake Forest Book Store, Lake Forest, IL

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT
= Debut
★
For Teen Readers Foul Is Fair, by Hannah Capin (Wednesday Books, $18.99) “Featuring a razor-sharp take on Lady Macbeth, this book is gripping. In the rise of antihero narratives in pop culture, this deserves to be up there with some of our favorites. It’s cathartic to see karma come around in the form of our protagonist, Jade. For Shakespeare fans, all of the nods to the original play are clever. Hannah Capin gets the balance just right between the source material and her own unique vision. As a tale of revenge, Foul Is Fair soars. No matter what happens in the book, we are always rooting for the girls.” —Sofia Silva Wright, Phoenix Books, Burlington, VT
For Ages 9 to 12 Bloom (The Overthrow, Book 1), by Kenneth Oppel (Knopf Books for Young Readers, $16.99) “A destructive plant begins to invade the entire planet. Blooms follow and throw off deadly toxic pollen. Enormous sinkholes emerge, endangering lives and swallowing buildings. Strangely, three teenagers appear to be immune to the effects of the deadly plant. Why? What do they have in common? Can they figure out how to destroy the plant? Just as their efforts are gaining ground and success is assumed, the book ends and leaves the reader breathlessly waiting for the sequel. A book not to be missed!” —Jean Fennacy, Petunia’s Place, Fresno, CA

(Schwartz & Wade, $17.99) “Your vote counts—just ask the students at Stanton Elementary School, who are making their voices heard and working hard to get out the vote. Vote for Our Future! explains the voting process in vivid illustrations and language that children—and adults!—can easily understand. An important and timely book that would work well in an elementary classroom and with parents who want to discuss this topic with their children.” —Judy Hayes, Kids Ink Children’s Bookstore, Indianapolis, IN
