May 2008

May’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes PETER PAN IN SCARLET by Geraldine McCaughrean, the first-ever authorized sequel to J. M. Barrie's classic tale; SUMMER BALL, the follow-up to Mike Lupica's TRAVEL TEAM that reintroduces readers to Danny Walker, a boy who's passionate about basketball; FAIREST, in which Gail Carson Levine boldly rewrites the Snow White tale into a story that bears little resemblance to the original but offers much more scope for the imagination; THE CASE OF THE LEFT-HANDED LADY, Nancy Springer’s second mystery featuring Sherlock Holmes’s sister, Enola; and the Edgar Award-winning ROOM ONE, a thought-provoking work of fiction from Andrew Clements about a fifth-grader who tries to figure out why he sees a face in the window of a supposedly empty house.
