The Oracle Year by Charles Soule
"“Knowledge is power,” as the saying goes, and bass guitar player Will Dando has a lot of it. Will knows 108 specific things that will happen in the future. In a world like ours, that’s a heck of a lot of power. How would the world react to knowing a person like this exists? Would he be shunned or exalted? Loved or feared? How would he live his life? Charles Soule puts these questions to the literary test in the entertaining and thoughtful The Oracle Year." - Excerpt from Book Page Book Review article
Hello Hello by Brendan Wenzel
"The generous, wide trim size of Brendan Wenzel’s exuberant new picture book, Hello Hello, gives readers a hint as to the treat in store. Inside, they witness a 48-page parade of animals on glorious display—an array of creatures from around the world. It’s an entertaining and informative tribute to the animal kingdom and some of its endangered creatures." - Excerpt from Book Page Book Review article
Go Ask Fannie by Elisabeth Hyde
"Elisabeth Hyde’s latest novel, like her two most recent—The Abortionist’s Daughter (2006) and In the Heart of the Canyon (2009)—displays her marvelous gift for creating vibrant and believable characters while keeping a keen, often humorous eye on their less desirable traits. In Go Ask Fannie, her sixth work of fiction, Hyde focuses her perceptive lens on Murray, 81, the beloved patriarch of the Blair family. A widower for 32 years, he invites his three grown children to his rural New Hampshire home for what he hopes will be a weekend of sibling bonding." - Excerpt from Book Page Book Review article
