NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A luminous novel exploring a woman’s desire to abandon the endless obligations of work and marriage—and the idea that the most passionate romance can be found with the person you know best. From the author of Not My Daughter comes the story of Emily Aulenbach, an idealistic young lawyer who once dreamed of representing victims of corporate abuse. Instead, she now spends her days in a cubicle arguing victims of corporate greed out of their rightful claims. And it isn’t only work. It’s her sister, her friends, even her husband, Tim, with whom she doesn’t connect the way she used to. She doesn’t connect to much in her life, period, with the exception of three things—her computer, her BlackBerry, and her watch. One day, she snaps. Without telling anyone where she is going, she heads north to Bell Valley, New Hampshire, the small town where she spent a life-altering summer during her college years. There, she will set out to forge new relationships with lovers, long-lost friends and the person she once wanted to become.

Fans of Tad Williams's Tailchaser's Song and Richard Adams's Watership Down, add Cats in the City of Plague to your list of favorite books. Set amidst the chaos of the worst pandemic in history, the Black Death of the 14th century, Cats in the City of Plague tells the tale of a group of cats who are unfairly blamed for the plague. The main character, Leander, and his fellow cats cannot understand why people they have trusted have turned against them. But they realize that their only hope of survival is to escape from the French city that has long been their home and return to the forests where, cat legend has it, their kind originally lived. While evading the humans who seek to destroy them, the cats embark on what Booklife calls “a tense and dramatic journey through the city, powered by the danger and sacrifice inherent in tales of epic quests.” Racing over rooftops, hiding in the cathedral’s crypt, can they make it out of the city before dawn reveals them? And if they do make it, can these city cats learn to live in the wild? The setting of a great pandemic will resonate with modern readers, but it’s the flight of these intrepid cats that makes Cats in the City of Plague an unforgettable story.

Princess Marie Antonette, who lives in a fairy-tale kingdom far away, is no ordinary girl. Her long, beautiful hair changes colour several times a day—from blue, to pink, to violet, and more! Her parents worry that she is sick, but the princess’s fairy godmother knows best. Marie’s hair is special and made of magic—and it is alive! It can move all by itself, and sometimes it can be very stubborn. However, her hair can also make dreams come true, changing colours to amuse the other children, and even turning into butterflies! However, there is someone nearby who does not like the royal family, the princess, or any of the children who live in the kingdom. He is the troll who lives beneath the floorboards of the princess’s room, and he is angry that everybody is so loud and having more fun than he. One day, he puts a mean spell on the princess’s hair that turns it into a hideous mess, and instead of butterflies, terrifying beasts come out of it! Both the troll and the princess are very unhappy, but one day they meet each other. The princess realizes that the troll is not evil—he is just misunderstood. Everybody deserves to be happy. However, will they be able to put aside their anger and differences to make peace? In “Princess and Troll,” a delightful rhyming fairy tale, M. Mammonek explores conflict resolution through peaceful means, encouraging children to foster empathy with one another and work together to achieve their dreams.
