Paul Tough
How Children SucceedGt, cuoty, a th H
Pow of chaat
Best-selling author and leading journalist for the New
York Times Magazine and The New Yorker reverses three
decades of thinking about what creates successful children
The story we usually tell about childhood and success is th
one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highe
on tests, rom preschool admissions to SATs.
But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues or a very
diferent understanding o what makes a successul child. Draw
ing on groundbreaking research in neuroscience, economics, an
psychology, Tough shows that the qualities that matter most ha
less to do with IQ and more to do with character: skills like grit
curiosity, conscientiousness, and optimism.
How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation o
scientists and educators who are radically changing our under-
standing o how children develop character, how they learn to
think, and how they overcome adversity. It tells the personal
stories o young people struggling to stay on the right side o the
line between success and ailure. And it argues or a new way o
thinking about how best to steer an individual child or a who
generation o children toward a successul uture.
This provocative and prooundly hopeul book will not onl
inspire and engage readers; it will also change our understandin
o childhood itsel.

Will Wiles
Care of Wooden Floors
For ans o Nicholson Baker and Tom McCarthy, this British
debut novel is a brilliant, comically surreal entertainment
about a house-sitting gig gone terribly, hilariously wrong.
A British cpywritr hus-sits at his cmpsr rind
oskars ultramdrn apartmnt in a glum astrn eurpan
city. Th instructins ar simpl: d th cats, dnt tuch th
pian, and mak sur nthing damags th priclss wdn
rs. Cntnt r th rst tim in ags, h accidntally spills
sm win. Th apartmnt and th narratrs sanity gradually
all apart in this unusual and satisying nl.
oskar has lt sral nts r his rind, gntly instructinghim in th prpr maintnanc th at. But r th curs
n disastrus wk, as th situatin in (and ut) th apart
mnt spirals ut cntrl, th nts tak n a mr insistnt
and crpily prscinttn.
Anyn wh has r lt inrir t a prctinist rind
will sympathiz with th narratrs plight. Will Wils is a gnu-
inly unny cmic nlist in th traditin ths tw arlir
British Ws, Wdhus and Waugh.
Funny, bguiling, and quitly prunda wndrully
