  • From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Demon Copperhead, a story of a brief, passionate, life-changing love affair, wrapped up in what might be the greatest romance of all: our eternal human longing for art and beauty.

    Livia Cable has made her peace with her marriage and modest livelihood in the farm country where she grew up, until a shocking phone call from an old lover shakes her to the core. Decades earlier, this man knew her as Livia Bohusz, a music conservatory student estranged from her home and family, uncertain of anything except her passion for music and promise as an extraordinary pianist. His request, now, to see her again stirs up ghosts she's kept at bay for a lifetime.

    Shifting between past and present, Livia's decision to meet or reject the reunion means confronting step by step, in memories framed as musical dances, the experiences of childhood loss, abandonment, self-immolating passion, and perilous attachment to a man who broke her belief in love and ruptured the course of her life.

    With razor-sharp acuity and deep affection, Pulitzer Prize winner Barbara Kingsolver's unforgettable new novel reflects on class barriers, the risks of ambition, and the timeless, life-changing power of art.

  • The worldwide sensation as you've never seen it before. Step into a bold new Divergent series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth.

    This deluxe limited edition of The Sixth Faction is unmissable: featuring a gorgeous exclusive cover in an alternate colorway, designed edges, a completely foiled case with a unique stamp, and special endpapers.

    Beatrice Prior stands on the brink of a decision every person in her world must make: five factions, five futures, five lives.

    She has a plan: she's going to make the bravest choice and leave Abnegation to join Dauntless, even though it means abandoning her family.

    But when tragedy strikes at her choosing ceremony, everything changes--her world, her plans, even Beatrice herself.

    Her decision will thrust her into the crosshairs of an underground rebellion, where a boy with secrets as dangerous as her own--a boy with only a number for a name--may be the only person she can trust.

    One choice will change everything.

  • "An astonishingly good novel.... Fans of the earlier Talisman novels will absolutely love this one, and because King is a wizard at providing backstory, new readers can thoroughly enjoy it."--Booklist, STARRED review

    "Constant Readers Rejoice!" (The Baltimore Sun). Jack Sawyer, a beloved and enduring King protagonist, returns in the final book in the Talisman Trilogy, the #1 New York Times bestselling collaboration between "master craftsmen" (The Washington Post) Stephen King and Peter Straub.

    "I wanted to go back to Mid-World, which was always the Territories by another name." --Stephen King

    This is Stephen King and Peter Straub's epic and unforgettable finale to the Talisman Trilogy (including the novels Talisman and Black House) and a wrapping up of the fate of the worlds in King's iconic, fiercely beloved Dark Tower epic. It is also a magnificent stand-alone novel, that will appeal to new readers, as well as to King's Constant Readers.

    Other Worlds Than These is the story of Jack Sawyer, whom readers first met when he was twelve, crossing America and "the territories" to save his mother's life, and met again in Black House, where Jack faces a child killer and the Crimson King (among other evils). In Other Worlds Than These, Jack must stop a rampaging gang of infected teenagers from America-side, and the forces of the mysterious Gullet at the edge of Mid-World, before it destroys our world and all worlds. Jack is older now; his Ka-tet (echoing the world of Roland) is fraying; and his task, nearly impossible.

    Magnificent, riveting, full of heart, and humor, Other Worlds Than These is a spectacular, propulsive adventure that features thirty-six exclusive black-and-white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodriguez. The title instantly announces to readers who already know these other worlds that King has returned to them. Other Worlds Than These will appeal to new King readers and his Constant Readers.

  • The perfectly twisted word-of-mouth horror phenomenon that set the internet on fire.

    When Eamon and his two closest friends, Caroline and Mark, journey to Addington Isle, they hope to explore the island that inspired their favorite book, Winterset Hollow--a timeless tale about a tribe of animals preparing for their yearly end-of-summer festival. But when the trio break into the author's apparently abandoned estate, they discover that much of what the world believes to be fantasy is real, and that the truth behind their beloved story is darker and more dangerous than they ever imagined. In fact, making it through the final chapter might just cost them everything.

    How do you celebrate Barley Day? You run, friend. You run.

    This edition features the complete version of the book within the book, Winterset Hollow, as written by Edward Addington!

  • It all begins when Comet walks away from the lighthouse close to his birthplace on Nantucket Island. He visits a garden, a bookstore, a boat, and a party, and at each place he gets into trouble and loses one of his lives. Comet starts to worry. He longs for a home, a place where he'll be safe. Will he find one before he uses up all nine lives?

"This is storytelling at its best. The voice rings true and so do the incidents." -- Stephen King

August 31, 2024 Clare Brooks

The Pulitzer Prize winning 'Demon Copperhead' is now available in paperback!

And, to celebrate this long awaited arrival, it's our Monthly Staff Pick for September here at Little Village Toy & Book shop... starting today!

Barbara Kingsolver's retelling of 'David Copperfield' moves the story from the streets of London to the mountains of Appalachia and what remains often instantly recognizable as the Dickens classic also becomes something distinctly American. This sprawling novel manages to touch on heavy topics while maintaining a lighter, and at times even humorous, literary tone and has quickly become a well-loved modern classic. Perfect for fans of Percival Everett’s ‘James’ from earlier this year and those that love retellings of the classics.

Don't forget out August Pick, Claire Daverly's 'Talking at Night' is still available for 20% off through 8/31. Visit us this week to save on both of these incredible titles and all September for 20% of 'Demon Copperhead', while supplies last.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE - WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION

New York Times Readers' Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century - An Oprah's Book Club Selection - An Instant New York Times Bestseller - An Instant Wall Street Journal Bestseller - A #1 Washington Post Bestseller - A New York Times "Ten Best Books of the Year"

"Demon is a voice for the ages--akin to Huck Finn or Holden Caulfield--only even more resilient." --Beth Macy, author of Dopesick

"May be the best novel of [the year]. . . . Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this is the story of an irrepressible boy nobody wants, but readers will love." --Ron Charles, Washington Post

From the acclaimed author of The Poisonwood Bible and The Bean Trees, a brilliant novel that enthralls, compels, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero's unforgettable journey to maturity

Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.

Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens' anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can't imagine leaving behind.
