September V.I.B...
by Gabriel Tallent
"Turtle Alveston, fourteen, prefers target practice with her Sig Sauer to vocabulary homework. She is not a character in a dystopian novel but rather a remarkable and damaged teen living with her father on the Northern California coast. Turtle and her father, a survivalist, live an unconventional life and though they are well known in the area, the locals generally shake their heads and leave them be. When Turtle develops a crush on a local boy she begins to understand that her life needs a serious change of direction. She also understands that crossing her father is dangerous business. Gabriel Tallent writes with a naturalist’s eye and the coast of Mendocino County is a character itself, beautiful and dangerous, welcoming and wild.
My Absolute Darling
is a page turner brilliantly conceived and written, but beyond that, challenging, thought provoking and a book to inspire lively debate." --
Cathy Langer, Director of Buying

On shelves now...
by Danya Kukafka
"Written with dreamy prose and metaphors, Danya Kukafka's debut novel is a mystery you can't put down. On the surface, this is a book about the murder of teenaged Lucinda Hayes. But it's really about three people whose lives are now permanently changed by this tragedy - the boy who stalked her, the girl who hated her, and the officer investigating her murder. Lucinda's death serves as a catalyst for major life changes these characters must go through in order to grow, and their lives begin to intertwine as they all get closer to solving the mystery (whether they want to or not). My favorite thing about this book is the way Kukafka describes her characters. They are real people will real physical and emotional flaws. She shows you the ugly with her beautiful words." --
