Sons and Soldiers: The Untold Story of the Jews Who Escaped the Nazis and Returned With the U.S. Army to Fight Hitler, by Bruce Henderson (William Morrow, $28.99) “Sons and Soldiers is the remarkable story of German-born Jews who escaped the country during Hitler’s rise. After training with the U.S. military, these same men returned to fight the Nazis. Their knowledge of German culture, geography, and language made them uniquely skilled at gathering enemy intelligence, but also especially vulnerable should they be captured. Bruce Henderson has written an inspiring and gripping tale of selfless men who risked everything to defeat unspeakable evil.” —Christopher Rose, The Spirit of ’76 Bookstore, Marblehead, MA
Other Indie FavoritesFierce Kingdom: A Novel, by Gin Phillips (Viking, $25) “Joan and her four-year-old son, Lincoln, are just about to conclude a day at the zoo when Joan notices an unnatural stillness and a lack of other people. She hears sounds, loud popping noises, and cannot quite determine what they might be. Then she notices the bodies. How quickly life shifts from a dream to a nightmare. She shushes Lincoln and hurries away, back into the zoo she knows so well, intent on finding a hiding spot until help arrives. This is an absolutely gripping exploration of what it is like to be hunted, to be trapped and awaiting rescue but still able to connect, with cell phone glimpses, to that other life that now seems so tenuous in the midst of real danger.” —Deon Stonehouse, Sunriver Books & Music, Sunriver, OR

For Teen Readers Thick as Thieves, by Megan Whalen Turner (Greenwillow Books, $17.99) “I love the Queen’s Thief books and I am thrilled to go back to that world and explore the politics, intrigue, and stories in this wonderful series. This new book follows a Mede slave as he negotiates the politics of that vast empire. There are subtle touches of Rome and Greece, but the world is entirely unique.

For Ages 9 to 12 You May Already Be a Winner, by Ann Dee Ellis (Dial Books, $16.99) “Who is Olivia? She’s a girl who grew up in a trailer park and whose father left for reasons she doesn’t really understand. She doesn’t go to school, but that’s okay, because she can teach herself and her younger sister at home. Meanwhile, she fantasizes about winning the lottery, because that would solve all their problems. I really felt for Olivia and her sister, Berkeley. Olivia’s voice contains maturity and frustration; her whimsical daydreams take you off track in the best ways. What a voice, and what a character.” —Alison Nolan, Linden Tree Books, Los Altos, CA

For Ages 4 to 8 7 Ate 9, by Tara Lazar, Ross MacDonald (Illus.) (Disney-Hyperion, $17.99) “In a world populated by letters and numbers, private detective I is approached by a panicked 6, who reports that 7 ate 9 and he fears he will be next! The number puns are rapid-fire, and there are plenty of visual gags—when 8 learns about 7’s alleged crime, she removes her belt to disguise herself as 0. But this book is not just a collection of jokes built around a concept—it has a real story with a solid conclusion. One of the wittiest picture books I’ve encountered in years” —Ann Childs, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA
