Although this updated edition of a 44-year-old photobook would have been enhanced by the addition of maps and an index, it’s thorough and detailed enough for professional architects and engaging for general readers.
Providing a cozier fantasy experience that’s both familiar and distinct, Hines’s latest is recommended for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone.
This well-researched look at athletic performance in the human body deflates many common misperceptions about the role of gender in sports. Highly recommended for teens and adults.
Kirkpatrick (Beneath the Bending Skies) writes of Western expansion with an eye for people whom history books often forget. There are no 21st-century anachronisms in this tale based on a real-life couple. Readers who like to see the day-to-day unfolding slowly in unexpected ways, as in the work of Sandra Dallas and Tracie Peterson, will enjoy.
Brunsvold writes utterly realistic modern characters searching for connection and meaning. Literary fans will enjoy the plethora of references to authors with Midwest connections, from Langston Hughes to Laura Ingalls Wilder to Flannery O’Connor.
Multigenerational characters are well-represented with humor and zest, giving this novel broad appeal. Readers will be eager to travel vicariously in the next installment of Fisher’s new series, but Karen Barnett’s “Vintage National Parks” novels will satisfy until then.
Readers who enjoy nuanced French Resistance stories such as Sarah Sundin’s Until Leaves Fall in Paris and Pam Jenoff’s The Lost Girls of Paris will appreciate this novel and root for victory for its motley crew of ordinary people who become heroes during a terrible time in history.
