As the mystery of the brutal death of a nine-year-old boy unfolds, the reader meets unforgettable characters, most notably Mary Byrd Thornton, a feisty, flawed, and often foul-mouthed wife and mother and the stepsister of the murdered child, who very reluctantly revisits the event after 30 years. Flying Shoes artfully steers the reader through some of the idiosyncrasies of life in a Southern town and deals with social and racial issues with the honesty and humor that only an insider can offer. Cathy Langer, Tattered Cover Book Store, Denver, CO That Night: A Novel, by Chevy Stevens (St. Martin s Press, $25.99) What happens if you are a teenager accused of a murder you didn t commit, the town considers you no good, and your parents agree with them? For Toni Murphy, the nightmare is only beginning. She is now out on parole and with the help of her boyfriend is looking for her sister s killers. This book is a rollercoaster of suspense and when the truth is finally revealed, it is a relief. But then there is yet one more unexpected twist. What a ride!

Lizzie Bennet is an intelligent, vivacious, ambitious, quirky young woman whose interactions with friends, family, and various relationships range from the fun and hilarious to the in-depth and complicated. Her journal entries bare not only feelings and drama, but also nuanced considerations of ethics, truth, communication, and the face of our new, media-centered world. With an incredibly popular companion YouTube series, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, this is a wonderful way to spend a summer! Jocelyn Shratter, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA = Debut

Another Indie Favorite for Ages 4 to 8 It s an Orange Aardvark!, by Michael Hall (Greenwillow Books, $17.99) Snazzy and cute-as-a-bug carpenter ants steal the show in this latest book from Hall.

The die-cut peep holes and splendid use of background colors with splashes of the colors of the rainbow make this an irresistible read! Mary Alice Garber, Politics & Prose Bookstore, Washington, DC
