 The Cellar
By Minette Walters
Mysterious Press $24.00
On the day Mr. and Mrs. Songoli s young son fails to come home from school, fourteen-year-old Muna's fortunes change for the better. Until then, her bedroom was a dank windowless cellar, her activities confined to cooking and cleaning. Now that Scotland Yard has swarmed the Songoli house to investigate the disappearance of the son, Muna is given a real bedroom, real clothing, and treated, at least nominally, as a daughter. But her world remains confined. She is not allowed to go outside, doesn't know how to read or write, and cannot speak English. At least that s what the Songoli's believe. Before long it becomes clear that young Muna is far cleverer and her plans more terrifying than the Songoli's, or anyone else, can ever imagine. ~Recommended by Bonnie Foley

From the drug-soaked enclaves of beatnik California to the verdant lawns of Princeton University, from turbo-charged Wall Street to the quiet woods of Michigan, his reputation as one of the century's most brilliant thinkers forms the backbone of a ... story about family, love, passion, and Milo's fraught relationship with his son. ~Recommended by Sue Boucher
