Another Indie FavoriteSo Much for That Winter: Novellas, by Dorthe Nors (Graywolf Press, $15.99) “Inventive and emotionally charged, the two novellas in So Much for That Winter bridge the gap between melancholy and humor. Told in a series of lists and headlines, these stories of the aftermath of two relationships are witty examinations of love and heartbreak in an age of technological detachment and shortened attention spans. Nors’ relentlessly paced vision of modern life should not be missed.” —Emily Ballaine, Green Apple Books, San Francisco, CA

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

= Debut

For Teen Readers If I Was Your Girl, by Meredith Russo (Flatiron Books, $17.99) “Amanda Hardy is starting a new life in a new town and a new school—one where no one ever knew her as Andrew Hardy. She has survived a suicide attempt, lifelong bullying from peers, and her father’s denial of who she really is. Now, she finds herself in the life she’s always imagined—as a normal teenage girl with girlfriends and even a boyfriend—but she still finds herself living in fear of her past. This novel about a transgender woman, written by a transgender woman, is an important and timely story.” —Sandy Scott, The Galaxy Bookshop, Hardwick, VT

IndiesIntroduce

For Ages 9 to 12 Ms. Bixby’s Last Day, by John David Anderson (Walden Pond Press, $16.99) “Ms. Bixby is the teacher that every student dreams of having for sixth grade. When she announces that she is leaving school due to health complications, Topher, Steve, and Brand set out on a quest to make her last day unforgettable. Told with warmth and lots of humor that 12-year-old boys will appreciate, this new classic coming-of-age story from Anderson is truly one of a kind.” —Pamela Klinger-Horn, Excelsior Bay Books, Excelsior, MN

For Ages 4 to 8 There Is a Tribe of Kids, by Lane Smith (Roaring Brook Press, $18.99) “Other books have been published about groupings of animals and the collective nouns used to describe them, but this one has Lane Smith’s gift for blending wit, whimsy, and wonder. He uses puns and wordplay combined with amazingly textured mixed media illustrations to craft a clever and heartfelt tale about childhood adventure, the beauty of language, and the gift of belonging.” —Marc Villa, Politics and Prose Bookstore & Coffeehouse, Washington, DC
