The challenges of moving the elderly from one
home to the next are frequently faced by both
generations: seniors and their adult children. This
book of compelling stories about this later-in-life
event, often unexpected in its timing and scope,
delivers points of view from the parents, adult chil-

life issues of communication, downsizing decisions
pertaining to personal possessions, and sharing and
sustaining memories convey the love, compassion,
disappointment, and perseverance experenced by
those coping through this difficult transitional time,
reminding readers that they are not alone. The
grace and grit exhibited in these true stories—from
loved ones, friends, and other regular people—will
bring solace through inspiration.

Mexico has much to offer a traveling woman: the

people, the beaches, and the slow pace of life
all make it a struggle to return to the United States
when the vacation is over. But narcotics traffick-
ing and related violence have caused the media
to focus largely on the negative issues concern-
ing Mexico, making it a seemingly scary place to
go. This book shows how Mexico is still a safe and
beautiful country when sticking to the right areas
and using caution. It avoids the conflict zones of
the north, instead focusing on southern Mexico,
from ancient ruins to crystal blue seas and lush,
tropical jungles.

adventures to dealing with a crazy aunt or uncle.

•The Carnival at Bray is unlike any of the
major YA novels being released right now,
and has the potential to spark a new move-
ment toward similar writing in the YA genre
It’s 1993, and the Teen Spirit Generation pulses to

the hum of the grunge movement. Sixteen-year-old
Maggie Lynch is plucked from her blue-collar
Chicago neighborhood to a small town on the Irish
Sea. Surviving off care-packages of Spin magazine
and Twizzlers from her rocker uncle Kevin, she won-
ders if she’ll ever find her place in this new world.
When tragedy and first love simultaneously strike,
Maggie embarks upon a forbidden quest to fulfill a
dying wish. Her pilgrimage takes her from the
coastal town of Bray to a dodgy youth hostel in
Dublin and finally to a life-altering Nirvana concert
in Rome. Maggie finds adventure, amazing music,
and a mess of trouble, but also a previously un-
tapped strength in herself to really live. Unlike other
YA novels, this story is beautifully character-driven
and devoid of far-fetched coincidence. It avoids
the tropes of being set in nameless suburbia or told
in a sardonic first-person voice. The time period will

The Paradox of Vertical Flight
Jessie Ann Foley is a Chicago Public Schools English

teacher. She holds an MFA in Fiction Writing from
Columbia College Chicago. She lives in Chicago.

This exploration of prejudice and what enables
and disables change is set against the backdrop
of the Civil Rights Movement from 1954 to 1964 and
told from three very different perspectives. To Joan
Barnes, 12 years old in the summer of 1964, freedom
is her birthright. As for Mississippi’s Negroes, freedom
was settled by the Civil War, wasn’t it? Negroes are
no longer slaves. As the child of upper middle-class
Yankee Catholics living in predominantly Baptist
Mississippi, where family roots are as deep as those
of the towering loblolly pines, Joan simply wants to
belong. This need repeatedly puts her at odds with
what she knows to be right. And it will take her
years to understand that freedom means making
choices. To C. J. Evans, born to a life of cleaning
white folks’ houses, freedom is the size of a human
heart, never bigger or smaller. It comes from within
and can’t be given or taken away. And, as her
waiting-on-heaven Baptist preacher and white-
controlled schools have taught her, freedom takes
a back seat to staying safe—whether she’s working
as a maid to Joan’s family in Jim Crow Mississippi
or as a live-in domestic in Chicago, where the rules
are far more subtle. To Zach Bernstein, Jewish Uni-
versity of Chicago law student, freedom is an ever-

Fledgling, the first book in The Dragonrider
Chronicles, sold more than 30,000 copies
in its previous digital incarnation
What kind of power is lurking inside him? After a

year of training to become a dragonrider, Jaevid
Broadfeather has been sent home to rest during a
three-month interlude. But when he returns to find
the king drake has chosen Beckah Derrick as his
new rider, Jaevid realizes something big is about
to happen. Every fiber of his being is pushed to the
breaking point as Jaevid battles through his avian
year, preparing for the final graduation test of the
battle scenario. But there is more standing in his
way than a few pushups and fancy sword moves.
Jaevid must face a new fear as he is tormented
by a gruesome nightmare of a mysterious gray elf
warrior murdering the royal family of Maldobar. It
seems obvious to him that this is some kind of mes-
sage about how the war started long ago—until
Felix assures him the king is very much alive. With his
strange powers growing stronger by the day, and
that violent dream replaying in his mind every night,
Jaevid no longer wonders if he will pass his avian
Avian year or not—he wonders if he will even survive it.
The truth will soon be set loose.

Sherlock Holmes continues to be an im-
mensely hot cultural property, as evidenced
by: (a) the films from Warner Brothers starring
Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law; (b) the
CBS television show Elementary starring
Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu; and (c) the
BBC television show Sherlock starring Bene-
dict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman
Arabella Holmes is different than other girls her age:

she doesn’t fit the profile of a typical lady from the
1900s. So her father, Sherlock, called in some linger-
ing favors and landed her a position at the Mutter
Museum. The museum was Arabella‘s dream; she
was to become a purveyor of abnormal science,
or what her uncle called a “Boneseeker.” Henry
Watson arrives at the Mutter Museum with a double
assignment—to become a finder of abnormal an-
tiquities and to watch over and keep Arabella
Holmes. It would be an easy task, if only he could
get her to speak to him instead of throwing knives
in his general direction. But this is no time for child’s
play. The two teens are assigned to a secret explo-
ration, when the hand of a Nephilim is unearthed

When Claire Mallory’s father leaves, her mom
moves them to a new town and into a dilapidated
Victorian house. The old house creaks and whistles,
and smells . . . well, like it’s been abandoned for
years. But as the nights grow longer and the shad-
ows take on substance, Claire wonders if the
strange sounds and occurrences might be more
than the house showing its age. Just as things start
to pick up in Claire’s love life, her mother becomes
possessed. In an attempt to save her mother and
their new home, Claire enlists the help of two boys,
each of whom is interested in Claire for very differ-
ent reasons. As she chooses one boy over the
other, something dangerous is unleashed, and the
spirits make their move. They aren’t content to
moan and scream inside Claire’s house, or even
control her mom. They want a taste of freedom,
and they’ll use Claire to get it. But is Claire strong
enough to fight off the evil spirits, or will they claim
her and her mom before it’s all over?

When the villain Wormzilla attacks the school with
his army of worms, Alien Dude uses his super powers
to destroy them all. This first entry in an early-reader
adventure series for reluctant boy (and girl) readers
features chapters and multiple plots alongside hilar-
ious cartoon illustrations and gross-out humor.
Teachers will appreciate the simple sentences and
repeating phrases necessary for beginning readers,
making the book ideal for the classroom. Boys
reading below grade level who require boy-friendly,
age-appropriate content will avoid the embarrass-
ment of reading “baby” books and, at the same
time, read with success.

needed to get books into the market.
