These characters and their stories are tough, touching, and humorous. With a beautiful western setting and a wistfulness at love's limitations, it gets better with every read. [Raissa]
I read this book three times every year. Fitzgerald's lyrical passages are mesmerizing as we follow a man's obsession with the past. Love this book. [Nicole]
Alexander's YA novel in verse is like a fast break that finishes in a dunk at the final buzzer of the championship game. Excellent! [Mike]
Krakauer brings professional and personal scrutiny to a mountaineering disaster. It is an intense account, a visceral and haunting book that kept me up half the night. [Raissa]
One of Poland's finest poets and among my personal favorites. Hilarious, provocative, insightful. So happy to have this collection in publication. [Mike]
I don't want to tell you that you should pick up this book - I want to tell you that you must. So often in life we are told what we should do, say, be, etc. This book shows us there is another way. At the crossroads of should and must we get to choose what to do, say, be. Let's choose to be who we must. [Jennifer]
This is the incredible tale of a smart, tough, and courageous girl, defying odds with all her strength. That is was inspired by a true story makes it even more impressive, and very moving. [Raissa]
A stirring, lyrical allegory full of strong characters, incredible description, and very real dialogue. The poet's debut novel is just excellent. [Mike]
Beautiful illustrations! Fun and poignant read! This is a great take on the childhood tradition of imaginary friends from the perspective of a yet-to-be-imagined friend. [Jennifer]
It's been 100 years since Masters published his seminal work. Told through the voices of dead residents of a fictional Illinois town, Masters weaves familial, municipal, and historical tales into an important collection that helps usher American poetry into the modern era. [Mike]
