Briefly Noted

“Laced with Tyler’s trademark humor, love of pop culture, and arguably too many musical theater references, This Changes Everything is a story about how wrestling with the idea of death can birth a whole new outlook on life, how we live it, and the urgency that comes when you grasp that time is a precious commodity.”

“The highlight of the book is Fields’ animal characters. Whether happy, nervous, or sad, their expressive faces are easy to read, and their feelings will be familiar to young tots. … A tender book to help little ones make sense of the emotions around prayer.”

“Lightman explores some of the most stunning materials in our universe, including atoms, rainbows, snowflakes, spider webs, the rings of Saturn, and much more. … The Miraculous from the Material astounds at every turn because it is science at its purest, most curious form, and is sure to bring out the child in every reader.”

“A searing sci-fi thriller about a woman reckoning with her past to solve a series of sudden and inexplicable deaths in the face of a coming apocalypse — from the Compton Crook Award–winning author of The Space Between Worlds.”

“A captivating, bookish tribute to an unstoppable upstander that will empower the youngest activists.”

“I recommend Red Dead’s History unreservedly not only to fans of the iconic video game, but also to anyone who wants to understand the riotousness — from Wild West gunslingers to Jim Crow to lynching — that darkened our past, and which continues to influence our culture. Olsson’s prose is graceful, his analysis profound. This is history at its most accessible and exciting.”
