February 2009
February’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes MOVING DAY, the first installment in Meg Cabot’s debut middle-grade series, Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls; THE BIG FIELD by Mike Lupica, the story of a star shortstop who is replaced by a better player with a questionable attitude; THE AURORA COUNTY ALL-STARS, the third book in Deborah Wiles’s trilogy set in Aurora County, Mississippi, this time featuring a 12-year-old boy as the main character; EDWARD’S EYES, Patricia MacLachlan’s deeply stirring, delicately lyrical portrait of a child, a son, a family and a brother; and THE NEDDIAD, a rollicking and totally bizarre adventure from Daniel Pinkwater in which circus beasts, ghostly bellboys, ancient mythology and 1940s Los Angeles collide.
