October 2008

October’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes ON THE WINGS OF HEROES, award-winning author Richard Peck's unforgettable portrait of the World War II homefront and a family's love; FIRST LIGHT, a dazzling tale of mystery, science and adventure at the top of the world from first-time author Rebecca Stead; MOSTLY MONTY, a chapter book by Johanna Hurwitz about a six-year-old boy who refuses to let his asthma get in the way of a happy and fun-filled childhood; and the 1994 Newbery Medal-winning GRANDFATHER’S JOURNEY, Allen Say’s deeply personal tale of one man's love for two countries and his constant desire to be in both places.
