August 2007

August’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes FLUSH, Carl Hiaasen's action-packed (and zany) mystery that revolves around an unpleasant yet important topic: raw sewage dumping; LARKLIGHT by Philip Reeve, “a rousing tale” of two siblings who set off on an adventure to the furthest reaches of space, where they will do battle with evil forces in order to save one another --- and the universe; THE PALACE OF LAUGHTER, the first book in a trilogy by debut novelist Jon Berkeley that takes readers on a spectacular journey to a place where laughter can be dangerous; and THE TRAIN OF STATES, a picture book by award-winning artist Peter Sis that will provide young people with one of the most enjoyable geography and history lessons they’ll ever have.
