This November at Little Village Toy & Book Shop, our latest batch of Monthly Staff Picks make perfect reads to cozy up with!
Karen Joy Fowler’s ‘We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves’ is our Adult Pick for the month and is a perfect family tale for the season. This novel follows the Cooke family, who seem like the average middle-class American family but for Fern, the chimpanzee, as they are touched by life’s humor and grief in the most unexpected of ways.
From Robin Wall Kimmerer comes ‘Bud Finds Her Gift’, our Picture Book selection, featuring illustrations by Naoko Stoop. This warm nature story sees Bud learn to slow down and observe nature in new ways in a world full of hustle and bustle that she wants to be a part of.
Our Middle Reader pick is Joseph Bruchac’s ‘Rez Dogs’, a novel told in verse inspired by oral storytelling. Malian learns about her grandparents and her Penacook heritage as she shelters with them on the Wabanaki reservation; when a dog shows up at their door, her family uses their history of community to care for it, too.
The dystopian thriller ‘Divergent’ is our Young Adult selection this month. The launch of Veronica Roth’s favorite series follows heroine Tris as she grapples with a world divided into five factions and trying to find her place in it.
All of our November Monthly Staff Picks are 20% off in-store, while supplies last!
