FICTION NONFICTION Other Indie Favorites How to Set a Fire and Why: A Novel, by Jesse Ball (Pantheon, $24.95) “On page one of Ball’s new novel, 16-year-old Lucia Stanton gets kicked out of school for stabbing the star basketball player in the neck with a pencil. Lucia is a delinquent, a philosopher, a shard of glass. She’s also an aspiring arsonist and an iconoclast who is vibrant, alive, and charming in a misanthropic way. Ball’s prose is precise and deceptively spare, his message dynamic in what he doesn’t write. Enlightenment thinkers used the symbol of the flame to represent the power and transmission of knowledge. It’s in this tradition that How to Set a Fire and Why becomes Ball’s pyrotechnic masterpiece.” —Matt Nixon, The Booksellers at Laurelwood, Memphis, TN Indie Bestsellers Hardcover Week of 08.03.16 = Debut = On the Rise Indies Introduce Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North, by Blair Braverman (Ecco, $25.99) “The brilliant and engaging writing in this memoir belies the author’s young age. Braverman offers a taut and honest recounting of a young woman fiercely chasing down her dream and confronting myriad dangers—both natural and man-made—with intelligence and grit. This white-knuckle read left me in awe of Braverman’s conviction, and her lyrical rendering of the landscape of Alaska took my breath away.” —Katie McGrath, Arcadia Books, Spring Green, WI Based on reporting from hundreds of independent bookstores across America.

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT
For Teen Readers How to Hang a Witch, by Adriana Mather (Knopf Books for Young Readers, $17.99) “Mather has perfectly captured the spirit and mystery that surrounds the site of the infamous Salem witch trials. Surreal and edgy, this is part ghost story, part historical fiction, and completely gripping. Is Samantha really seeing ghosts? Will she be able to let herself fall for the boy who wants her? Can she break the family curse before she loses her dad forever?” —Clarissa Murphy, Brookline Booksmith, Brookline, MAIndies
Introduce
For Ages 9 to 12 The Nocturnals: The Mysterious Abductions, by Tracey Hecht, Kate Liebman (Illus.) (Fabled Films Press, $15.99) “A charming, funny, and intriguing title for middle grade readers, produced with wonderfully quirky color art throughout, The Nocturnals tells the story of night-active animals who discover that their kind are suddenly going missing. The characters—including a Pepé Le Pew-like sugar glider, a sweetly self-effacing pangolin, and a beautiful, wise, soft-spoken fox—work together to solve the mysterious disappearances. Readers are left wanting more stories about these unique characters and, luckily, there are more in the works!” —Francine Lucidon, The Voracious Reader, Larchmont, NY

For Ages 4 to 8: Revisit & Rediscover The Gruffalo, by Julia Donaldson, Axel Scheffler (Illus.) (Dial Books for Young Readers, $6.99) Originally published in 2004 “A long time ago, there was a book about a Gruffalo. What is a Gruffalo? Wouldn’t you like to know? The first thing that you notice when you read this charming book is the wonderful cadence—it trips off the tongue delightfully and you must read it out loud. Your audience will be engrossed with this story of how a little mouse fools Fox, Owl, and Snake on his journey through the deep, dark woods, and entranced by Donaldson’s perfect ending.” —Liesl Freudenstein, Boulder Book Store, Boulder, CO
