I Can’t Tell You
After he opens his big mouth in a big fight with his best
friend, Jake concludes that talking = trouble. He decides that
communicating through writing is safer. But there are also
the notes he never sends. To his flirty friend. Who is just a
friend. But could be more than a friend. But isn’t — or is she?
Hillary Frank’s inventive style envelopes her readers in a new
dimension of storytelling. Jake + Xandra = a story about what
it means to be “just friends.” All without saying a word.
“Ultimately, the novel’s engaging jumble of correspondence
amounts to a study of vulnerability, tentatively concluding
that, when it comes to romance, playing it safe can be a risky
approach. — Horn Book
Shakespeare Stories
Illustrated by Michael Foreman
By skillfully weaving his own prose with Shakespeare’s language, Leon Garfield has refashioned twelve of the Elizabethan
playwright’s most memorable dramas into stories, capturing
all the richness of the characters, plot, mood, and setting. This
format will delight both those who know the great dramatist’s
works and those who are new to them. Michael Foreman’s
dramatic color illustrations and varied black-and-white line
drawings are the perfect complement to this celebration of
Shakespeare’s genius.

Twelve-year-old Jonas lives in a seemingly ideal world. Not until
he is given his life assignment as the Receiver does he begin to
understand the dark secrets behind this fragile community. “In
a departure from her well-known and favorably regarded realistic works, Lowry has written a fascinating, thoughtful sciencefiction novel. The story takes place in a nameless, utopian
community, at an unidentified future time. Although life seems
perfect — there is no hunger, no disease, no pollution, no fear
— the reader becomes uneasily aware that all is not well. “The
story is skillfully written; the air of disquiet is delicately insinuated; and the theme of balancing the values of freedom and
security is beautifully presented.” — Horn Book Guide

A Braid of Lives
The Education of Robert Nifkin
Set in 1950s Chicago and conveyed in the form of a college

high school that smells to the curriculum-free carnival of a
private school ruled by bohemians, beatniks, and freaks.

In following the path of this humble adventurer you will learn

masterpiece, was first published in the United States on October 21, 1954, arriving, as C. S. Lewis proclaimed, “like lightning from a clear sky.” Fifty years and nearly one hundred

Christopher Tolkien to meet the author’s exacting wishes, two
large-format fold-out maps, a ribbon placemarker, gilded page

The Silmarillion
A number-one New York Times bestseller when it was originally published, The Silmarillion is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien’s
imaginative writing, a work whose origins stretch back to a
time long before The Hobbit. The Silmarillion is the history of
the rebellion of Feanor and his kindred against the gods, their
exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war,
hopeless despite all their heroism, against the great Enemy.
This second edition features a letter written by Tolkien
describing his intentions for the book, which serves as a brilliant exposition of his conception of the earlier Ages of
Middle-earth.
Peter
Pressured by everyone to conform to the stereotyped macho
image, fifteen-year-old Peter feels both confused and repelled.
His confusion and his horror increase when he finds himself
attracted to his brother’s best friend, David. Here is a daring, exceptionally honest novel about sexuality and the need
to be true to oneself. “An insightful and profoundly caring
novel.” — Boston Book Review.

Jim Murphy
Clarion Books
JIM MURPHY was the managing editor for Clarion Books from 1970 to 1977. Now he is the well-respected and
award-winning author of more than thirty books for young readers about American history, including An American Plague, which received the 2004 Newbery Honor, the Robert J. Sibert Informational Book Award, the Orbis
Pictus Award, and a National Book Award Finalist medal.
As a child, Jim didn’t have much time for or interest in reading—that is until a teacher named a book the students were absolutely forbidden to read. Rushing to see what the fuss was all about, Jim first read the forbidden
book and then kept on reading—anything he could get his hands on. He held several offbeat jobs before becoming a writer (including boiler repairperson, chain-link fence installer, roofer, and plastics-factory worker), and
those varied interests have helped him to create a wide range of entertaining, provocative, and multi-layered
books for young readers. Jim, his wife, Alison, and their two sons live in Maplewood, New Jersey.

Scott O’Dell
Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
SCOTT O’DELL (1898–1989), one of the most respected authors of historical fiction, received the Newbery
Medal, three Newbery Honor awards, and the Hans Christian Andersen Author Medal, the highest international
recognition for a body of work for young readers.
Scott O’Dell’s books have entertained and enlightened millions of readers around the world. Children with a
thirst for adventure and a love of nature are drawn to his stories of young people whose survival depends on determination and self-reliance.
When discussing his process for creating books, Scott O’Dell said, “The research for a book usually takes two
or three months, the writing another six months. Research is what I enjoy most. I often write of events, people,
and backgrounds that I know little about, just because I want to know more.” This thirst for knowledge led to
some of the most popular and successful books of historical fiction.
In 1984, he established the Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction, which is given each year to the best historical novel for children.

BATHURST, BELLA
COADY, LYNN
Special
Special is a chilling look into the secret lives of a group of adolescent girls when a simple field trip to the country reveals a
world filled with betrayals and social and sexual insecurities.
Laying waste to the long-held notion of girls being the fairer
sex, Bella Bathurst’s debut novel shines a glaring light on
teenage girls willing to do anything for power and acceptance.
Saints of Big Harbour
Lynn Coady gives us the unforgettable Guy Boucher, a
fatherless teenager and recluse who finds himself at the center
of an ugly rumor. Several versions of truth emerge and collide
through Guy’s eyes and the stories of those who surround
him.

The funny, heart-warming story of Roxanne Fish, a girl growing up in 1950s Iowa in a Bible-quoting Pentecostal family

Laughing Boy
First published by Houghton Mifflin in 1929, this Pulitzer
prize–winning novel is available for the first time as a trade

1915, Laughing Boy is an endearing classic of a young Navajo

Collected Stories
Here are nineteen stories that explore McCullers’s signature
themes: wounded adolescence, loneliness in marriage, and
the tragicomedy of life in the South. Included in this volume
are “The Member of the Wedding” and “The Ballad of the
Sad Cafe,” novellas that Tennessee Williams judged to be
“assuredly among the masterpieces of our language.”

MCCULLERS, CARSON
MORRIS, WILLIE
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
First published in 1940, this is an American classic that tells
the unforgettable tale of moral isolation in a small Georgia
mill town in the 1930s. The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is Carson
McCullers at her most compassionate, most endearing best,
and her novel proves just as timely and powerful today as
when it was first published.
Taps
This novel takes one last fictional journey to Willie Morris’s
South and spins a tender, powerful, very American story
about the fleeting boyhood of a young man coming of age at
the dawn of the Korean War.

The Member of the Wedding
“Rarely has emotional turbulence been so delicately conveyed,” said the New York Times of Carson McCullers’s classic
tale about Frankie Addams, a bored twelve-year-old madly
jealous of her brother’s impending marriage. First published
in 1946, this Mariner edition is the only paperback now
available.

after World War II, Downhill Chance is the dramatic story of
two families, the Osmonds and the Gales. Epic, passionate,
raw, and full of Newfoundland life and culture, Downhill
Chance is a “captivating successor” to Kit’s Law.

If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things
Jon McGregor pays rapt attention to every minute detail of

scene of a terrible accident, the details of which are hinted at,
but not revealed, until the final pages.
A Stranger in the Kingdom
A Stranger in the Kingdom tells the unforgettable story of a
brutal murder in a small town and the devastating events that
follow. The New York Times called it “reminiscent of To Kill a
Mockingbird and Anatomy of a Murder—absorbing.”

Kit’s Law
Fans of Alice Hoffman will adore Donna Morrissey’s pageturning first novel, a coming-of-age story with an unexpected
twist and mystery, containing “all the old-fashioned virtues: a
vivid sense of place, an intricate and suspenseful plot, and
a feisty heroine whom we can’t help rooting for on every
page.”—Margot Livesey
The True Account
Howard Frank Mosher’s first book set outside of Kingdom
County, Vermont, is a tall tale of impossibilities. Private True
Teague Kennison sets out to beat Lewis and Clark to the
Pacific, in a journey he believes he has already made, only in
reverse. Funny, and filled with flamboyant characters, The
True Account makes a return to the kind of writing that so
enamored fans to Disappearances.

A stunning debut novel that tells the parallel stories of two
