The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women, by Kate Moore (Sourcebooks, $26.99) “The harrowing true story of The Radium Girls is a compelling and forthright portrayal of a dark, insidious mystery and the ‘shining girls’ who revealed it. Author Kate Moore takes the reader from Orange, New Jersey, to Ottawa, Illinois, following several women who work at factories that specialize in painting watch faces and instrument dials with the glow-in-the-dark wonder element radium. As these women fall ill in various and dire ways, they seek answers and relief from the very companies that would deny them. Moore, like the ‘shining girls’ before her, casts a bright light on these lives lost too young.” —Heather Herbaugh, Mitzi’s Books, Rapid City, SD

Other Indie FavoritesThe Leavers, by Lisa Ko (Algonquin, $25.95) “Deming Guo is a12-year-old, Chinese-American Bronx native. When his mother abandons him without warning, he thinks he will be able to make a life with his mother�s friend and her son. But when that friend gives him up to foster care and he is shipped off to live with white university professors in upstate New York, his life is turned on end once again. This is a beautifully written, searing exploration of identity and dislocation. It is a profoundly American story and a compulsively fascinating read. I loved it!” —Kris Kleindienst, Left Bank Books, St. Louis, MO

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteFather’s Day: A Novel, by Simon Van Booy (Harper Perennial, $15.99) “Van Booy�s delicate touch is turned to the relationship between the orphaned Harvey and her uncle, Jason, a man no one could expect to be the right choice as guardian. Van Booy uses a series of Father�s Day gifts given to Jason from the now adult Harvey to reveal more than either of them realized about the life they have shared as adoptive father and daughter, as well as the heartbreaking truth of how they came to be a part of each other�s lives. Father�s Day is Van Booy at his most poignant, showing how redemption can arise from heartbreaking circumstances.” —Don Luckham, The Toadstool Bookshop, Keene, NH

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

For Teen Readers You’re Welcome, Universe, by Whitney Gardner (Knopf Books for Young Readers, $17.99) “When Julia covers up derogatory graffiti about her best friend with her own art— and then her best friend outs Julia to save herself—Julia is expelled from her deaf school and mainstreamed. With her biggest meaningful relationship and her mothers both watching her more closely, Julia just wants to keep her head down in public school and get out so she can recapture the rush of putting her art out in the world. But someone keeps challenging her. You’re Welcome, Universe really emphasizes the power and complexity of female friendships; the window into deaf culture is an added bonus!” —Ann Childs, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA

For Ages 9 to 12 Lemons, by Melissa Savage (Crown Books for Young Readers, $16.99) “When Lemonade Liberty Witt is forced to move from San Francisco to Willow Creek, she is not sure how to handle all of the Bigfoot excitement, small town weirdness, and meeting her grandfather for the first time. In the spirit of making lemonade, Lem takes a job assisting the inquisitive and friendly Tobin, a local Bigfoot investigator, on his search to catch Bigfoot on film. Through her investigations of the town and Bigfoot, Lem might just find the answer to some very big questions. Melissa Savage has managed to distill all of the grief of a major loss, the joy of discovery, and the fear of rebuilding into one magnificent middle-grade novel.” —Molly Olivo, Barstons Child’s Play, Washington, DC
