MOBILE LIBRARY
David Whitehouse
"A tender tale of love, hope, and family . . . Readers will find themselves rooting for
the unlikely heroes." — Library Journal
Bobby Nusku spends his nights cataloging all traces of the life his mother left behind.
By day, he and his best friend Sunny hatch plans to save Bobby from schoolyard
torment and his abusive father. Then Bobby encounters a peculiar girl named Rosa
and her mother, Val, a lonely divorcee whose job is cleaning a mobile library. When
Bobby and Val form a bond that draws unwanted attention, they all abscond in the
bookmobile for a picaresque adventure across England.

A New York Times Bestselling Author
GRETEL AND THE CASE OF THE MISSING FROG PRINTS
A Brothers Grimm Mystery
P. J. Brackston
"Bestseller Brackston melds folktale whimsy with a sardonic adult voice in the
rollicking first of a new series set in 1776 Bavaria." — Publishers Weekly
Bavaria, 1776. When Albrecht Durer the Much Much Younger's Frog Prints go
missing, he knows exactly where to turn for help. Gretel (yes, that Gretel), now 35,
is the country's most famous private investigator, and she leaps at the opportunity to
travel to cosmopolitan Nuremberg to take on the case. But amid the hubbub of the
city's annual sausage festival, Gretel struggles to find any clues that point toward the
elusive thief.

"Mobile Library has everything I love in a book — great characters, fine writing and a plot that chugs along. The book works
on many different levels so should appeal to fans of "coming of age" novels, books set in England and readers of humorous
fiction touched with a hint of sweetness. I think this will be a great book club novel and one I plan on sharing with many of
my patrons." — Robin Nesbitt
"Many of us are familiar with the Grimm fairy tales so this is a delightful read that turns the story of Hansel and Gretel on
its head. Fans of humorous mysteries in the vein of Jasper Fforde will enjoy this book. Reading about Hansel and Gretel as
adults with Gretel in the role of a private detective is genre bending and fun. Mystery readers looking for a different take
on the P.I. novel should enjoy this tale." — Robin Nesbitt
