New from the author of "Eye Contact," "a page turner... that]
uncovers a host of dark suburban secrets" ("People")
After twelve years in prison, Betsy Treading is released when new
DNA evidence irrefutably proves that she didn't murder her
eccentric and noticeably single neighbor, Linda Sue Murphy. But
Betsy quickly discovers that innocence in court doesn't redeem her
in the eyes of old friends. To clear her name and find Linda Sue's
true killer, the former librarian unravels the web of denial,
delusion, and secrets that has ensnared her community. A
psychological tour de force, "Neighborhood Watch" rips the surface
off a seemingly idyllic world and keeps readers guessing until the
very last page.
A heartfelt companion novel to the critically acclaimed Chester and
Gus about inclusivity, autism, friendship, and family, perfect for
fans of Sara Pennypacker and Kate DiCamillo. After being separated
from his family, Franklin becomes an independent cat, until he
meets a goofy dog named Chester. Chester is a service dog to his
person, a boy named Gus, and Chester knows just the girl to be
Franklin's person-Gus's classmate, Amelia. Amelia loves cats, but
has a harder time with people. Franklin understands her, though,
and sees how much they have in common. When Amelia gets into some
trouble at school, Franklin wants to help the girl who's done so
much to help him. He's not sure how, yet, but he's determined to
try. This sweet and moving novel demonstrates how powerful the bond
between pets and people can be, while thoughtfully depicting a
neurodivergent tween's experience.

For nine years Adam has been the centre of his mother, Cara's,
world. And, she thinks, she has been the centre of his. Until the
day he disappears. When he is found in the woods behind his school,
beside the body of a little girl whom Cara has never heard of
before, it feels as if her world has been torn apart. As Adam is
locked into silence, unable to tell his mother what he has seen,
Cara's desperation to understand her little boy becomes fiercer
than ever. A heartrending, utterly unputdownable story of the
tangled bond between mother and child, Eye Contact engages the
heart and will not let it go.
