Other Indie FavoritesEruption: The Untold Story of Mount St. Helens, by Steve Olson (W.W. Norton, $27.95) “Eruption is everything a nonfiction book should be: Marvelous storytelling mixed with a great cast of characters, fascinating science, and little-known history. Anyone with even a passing interest in the Pacific Northwest or volcanoes will love this book. I read it in three long, satisfying gulps, and, like all great books, its stories linger in the mind long after you’ve read the last page.” —Tom Campbell, The Regulator Bookshop, Durham, NC

All the Winters After: A Novel, by Seré Prince Halverson (Sourcebooks Landmark, $24.99) “This is the compelling story of a damaged young woman, Nadia, who has taken refuge in a cabin in the Alaskan woods for the last 10 years after escaping an abusive marriage. Kachemak Winkel, the cabin’s owner, returns to Alaska after a long absence, still mourning for his parents and older brother, who lost their lives in a plane crash 20 years earlier. Two young, damaged souls are at the heart of this beautifully written novel, and the wild and dangerous beauty of Alaska is present throughout. Perfect for book groups!” —Patricia Worth, River Reader Books, Lexington, MO

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteBlackass: A Novel, by A. Igoni Barrett (Graywolf Press, $16) “We have seen transformation handled masterfully in literature, and Blackass, with its black, Nigerian protagonist waking up in the body of a white man, immediately calls to mind Kafka’s Metamorphosis. But this is something more, something different. There is a willingness here to confront how we create our identities—racially, politically, and even on social media. Barrett does this with intelligence and a playful humor that is by turns bright and biting. There is an edge to Blackass, a fire, the beginning of trouble. This is Kafka for the Kanye generation.” —Kenny Coble, King’s Books, Tacoma, WA

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

= Debut

For Teen Readers The Girl From Everywhere, by Heidi Heilig (Greenwillow Books, $17.99) “Nix is the daughter of a Navigator—a person who, with a map, has the ability to sail through time to anywhere on Earth, real or fabled. Her father is determined to return to 19th century Hawaii to save Nix’s mother’s life—a journey that might erase not only Nix’s past, but her birth as well. Well-defined characters, a race against time, a charming love interest, mystical maps, a boy next door who actually came for a fabled map, and a girl without a time on a race to save her life combine in this perfect YA read.” —Erin Barker, Hooray for Books!, Alexandria, VA
