Other Indie FavoritesThe After Party: A Novel, by Anton DiSclafani (Riverhead Books, $26) “The real star of The After Party is the novel’s setting: 1950s Texas, where wealthy housewives and Junior League debutantes rule the social landscape. At the center is Joan Fortier, an unconventional bachelorette who is not content to sit on the sidelines — or to stay in Houston. Joan’s attitude causes conflict with her childhood best friend, CeCe Buchanan, and their relationship falters, exposing insecurities in both women. Fans of DiSclafani’s first novel, The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls, will not be disappointed by this well-written, engaging new work.” —Annie B. Jones, The Bookshelf, Thomasville, GA

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

For Teen Readers Highly Illogical Behavior, by John Corey Whaley (Dial Books for Young Readers, $17.99) “Though Lisa’s motivation in approaching Solomon, her reclusive former classmate, is suspect, there is nothing suspect about the friendship that she, Solomon, and Clark have together. Solomon’s anxiety and agoraphobia are treated with sensitivity, and Whaley manages the near impossible by showing the unexpected humor and humanity of his character’s situation. If only we all had a Lisa or Clark in our lives to help us get out of our heads, and if only the Lisas and Clarks of the world had a Solomon to teach them the empathy that comes with true friendship.” —Jamie Thomas, Women & Children First, Chicago, IL

For Ages 9 to 12 Sea Change: A TOON Graphic, by Frank Viva (TOON Books, $18.95) “Eliot is pretty sure his uncle’s house in Nova Scotia is the worst place to spend the summer, especially since he isn’t much of a swimmer. Early mornings on a fishing boat, gathering maggots for bait, dealing with a local bully—it’s certainly not idyllic, but there is more to Point Aconi than Eliot imagined, and slowly the place begins to work its magic on him. Plunge into this book and prepare yourself for a story that will leave you emotionally drained yet refreshed—just like a good day at sea.” —Marika McCoola, Porter Square Books, Cambridge, MA
