We loved hosting Tiffany D. Jackson at our 2018 Festival and are so excited for her new book! Fans of Allegedly and Monday's Not Coming won't want to miss this new book that tells the story of three Brooklyn teens who plot to turn their murdered friend into a major rap star by pretending he's still alive.
Claire Legrand was a favorite at our 2018 Festival, and we've been long awaiting this new book. KINGSBANE picks up where FURYBORN leaves off and doesn't give the characters nor the readers a second to rest. Jaw dropping and heartbreaking, this is an excellent second book to this trilogy and will leave you asking where the finale is.
**The first 15 people to pre-order will receive a special sheet of KINGSBANE temporary tattoos. Don't delay!**
"Anthony Horowitz keeps getting better and better. A continuation on the clever conceit he initiaties in THE WORD IS MURDER, Horowitz once again finds himself as a character in his own detective novel. He begrudgingly teams up with Hawthrone, the famous detective, in order to solve not one, but three suspicious deaths."

The international search for a sister gone missing is the basis of SEARCHING FOR SYLVIE LEE, a mysterious drama by Jean Kwok. When Amy finds out her sister never returned home from a trip to visit a dying family member in the Netherlands, it sets off a chain of events that uncovers long lost secrets about her family, her parents’ immigration, and secret relationships. Amy’s quest to find Sylvie takes her across the ocean, where she meets an entire family she’s never know who played a fundamental part in her family’s life. Dark, complicated, and engrossing, this literary thriller will capture your emotions and keep you turning pages long after dark.
Jennifer Weiner perfectly captures the bonds of sisterhood in Jo and Bethie, whose stories begin as children in the 1950s. Told with a nod towards history, the book explores their search for identity and the need to conform—or not—to society’s changing expectations. The story is as dark at times as it is heartwarming as Weiner explores themes of abuse, sexual identity, infidelity, motherhood, and more. MRS. EVERYTHING is a dynamic family story from a masterful, modern storyteller.
