“Pettiness, Prejudice, and Pets with Panache”

Bad kids, worse adults
If you are looking for something different from your next read—especially if you’re interested in reading a story that offers a window into another Asian culture—then Bad Kids by Zijin Chen might be a good choice. This book was an instant bestseller when it was published in China, and has since been adapted for the small screen.
Single wife, double life
When DC Clements misses, by just a few hours, the opportunity to recover the abducted Kylie—who was being held prisoner by an unknown captor in the initial period after she disappeared—the police officer becomes obsessed with finding out what actually happened to the missing woman.
Home is where the hurt is
This is a beautiful book about a teenager looking for the answers in life, the joys of found family, and the experience of love in its many forms.
