In her adult debut, Forman provides a frank and moving story about losing and finding yourself by embracing the power of forgiveness, the inevitability of growth, and the stubbornness of love. Anderson McKean, Page and Palette, Fairhope, AL The Fortunes: A Novel, by Peter Ho Davies (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $27) At a time of talk about building walls and isolationism, Davies offers a look at American history through the lives of a group of people who have helped to forge this nation Chinese-Americans. Davies presents characters for whom the American dream is as elusive or as real as it would be to any others. Set in the California Gold Rush, 1930s Hollywood, and the present day, Davies tale is artfully told with passion and conviction, and readers will empathize fully with each generation of outsiders.

Organized into four acts, the main actors are Lucy, a little street dog; Eleanor, the girl who feeds her scraps each morning; and Eleanor s father, Sam, who must overcome his stage fright to succeed as a juggler on the vaudeville stage. Precise repetition of actions and reactions give the story clear beats, and readers will enjoy finding tiny changes in Cecil s camera-lens illustrations. An excellent choice for fans of dogs, juggling, and dreams coming true. Cecilia Cackley, Hooray for Books!, Alexandria, VA 1.

Lockhart (Disney-Hyperion, $9.99, originally published in 2009) This is one of my all-time favorite books! Funny, subversive, and smart, it is about a girl who infiltrates the boys-only private school club she is excluded from, which neither her boyfriend nor her father will tell her about because she s a girl. Frankie is gutsy, stays true to herself, and uses her wits to become an amazing kick-butt heroine for any girl asking, What do you mean I can t do that?
