Other Indie FavoritesBird Box: A Novel, by Josh Malerman (Ecco, $25.99) “Imagine a world invaded and devastated by a monster that, if gazed upon, makes the viewer insane and prone to acts of violence. Insert into this world a young mother living in a shrouded house with two young children whom she has trained from birth to listen, but never to look. Now, she is going to take them blindfolded on a trip 20 miles downriver in a canoe in hopes of a better life. This is the world of Bird Box that will keep you up reading well past your bedtime. Creepy, wonderful, and un-put-downable.” —Lori Haggbloom, Books Inc., San Francisco, CA

Another Indie FavoriteWe Need New Names: A Novel, by NoViolet Bulawayo (Back Bay Books, $15) “Bulawayo gives her character Darling an emotionally powerful voice while telling her story in such sparse and brilliantly crafted sentences, I had to put the book down just to savor the writing and take a break from the heartbreaking scenes of the strife in Zimbabwe. Bulawayo takes us on one young immigrant’s journey from a country being destroyed by violence to one where the grandness and wealth are overwhelming and the Midwestern cold is piercing. This is a debut novel not to be missed!” —Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books, Mystic, CT

9) “Free-spirited,

bold, and beautiful, Alice has alw

ays been the object of boys’ lust and other girls’ jealousy and adm

iration at her small-tow

n high school. After

a party, rumors about A

lice start to spread: she’s a slut, she had sex w

ith two boys in one night,

and she was responsible for the death of one of

them. Told from

multiple perspectives, The Truth

About Alice details what it m

eans to be bullied and w

hat it takes to stand against it. At tim

es harshly funny, at tim

es heart-wrenching, this is

ultimately a hopeful story.” —
