Long Drive Home by Will Allison

A rash decision and a lie catapults a family into chaos. An ethical dilemma that could happen to you?

Kamchatka by Marcelo Figueras

Set in 70's Argentina, this sensitive story is told in the voice of a young boy, whose family moves to avoid becoming "the disappeared ones." Realistic characterization and good to the last page.

Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

A marvelous magical romp with strong visual descriptions - highly recommended for fantasy readers and those who wish to visit a circus beyond this world.
