A prominent political cartoonist is shaken when a forgotten uncertainty from the past resurfaces. This psychological study of the concept that what we believe makes us who we are is a masterpiece!” —Nicole Magistro, The Bookworm of Edwards, Edwards, CO Indie Bestsellers Hardcover Week of 10.26.16 = Debut = On the Rise Irena’s Children: The Extraordinary Story of the Woman Who Saved 2,500 Children From the Warsaw Ghetto, by Tilar J.

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteThe Past: A Novel, by Tessa Hadley (Harper Perennial, $15.99) “A novel about a family vacation is often used as a device to bring out the worst flaws of the characters; here it is used to bring out the best of Hadley’s writing talent. She brings the family together, introducing them one by one: Harriet, the outdoorsy one; Alice, the dramatic one; Fran, the motherly one; Roland, the scholarly brother. The siblings, along with assorted children, spouses, and a young friend, spend three weeks in the crumbling house that belonged to their grandparents, trying to decide what must be done with it. Readers who enjoy character-driven novels, such as those by Kate Atkinson, Margaret Drabble, or Jane Gardam, will welcome this novel.” —Yvette Olson, Magnolia’s Bookstore, Seattle, WA

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT
= Debut
For Teen Readers The Singing Bones, by Shaun Tan (Arthur A. Levine Books, $24.99) “This is, in essence, a museum catalog for an exhibition you dreamed of one night, and Tan plucked those images from your dreams and made them real. Not literal artistic interpretations of Grimm’s fairy tales, but artistic representations of the feelings those tales evoke, Tan’s sculptures are at once whimsical and unsettling, surreal and grounded. With an introduction by Neil Gaiman and a forward from Jack Zipes, this book belongs on the shelf of every lover of fairy tales, especially readers who appreciate the darker side of those tales.” —Billie Bloebaum, Third Street Books, McMinnville, OR
For Ages 9 to 12 Ashes, by Laurie Halse Anderson (Atheneum/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books, $16.99) “The wait is over! Anderson’s highly anticipated conclusion to The Seeds of America Trilogy is here, and it exceeds all expectations. Anderson’s exhaustive research and brilliant writing make Ashes a must-read for people of all ages. Isabel, Cruzon, and Ruth are back, and their story of perseverance and hope during the Revolutionary War could not have come at a better time. Thank you, Laurie!” —Bill Reilly, the river’s end bookstore, Oswego, NY
