The Library at the Edge of the World
by Felicity Hayes-McCoy
Submitted by Terri S.
Winter Book Escape #1: Finfarren – a fictitious seaside Irish hamlet. This is a captivating contemporary read with a charming cast of characters and an utterly enchanting storyline. I enjoyed the book in audio format – such a great listen, providing a welcome distraction and escape from this seemingly endless winter. This is the first in a series and I can’t wait to listen to the sequel –
Summer at the Garden Café.
Patrick Taylor and Maive Binchy fans, and anyone who enjoys a solidly written cozy, should enjoy.

The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter
by Hazel Gaynor
Submitted by Terri S.
Winter Book Escape #2: Longstone Lighthouse on the Farne Islands, Northumberland, England, 1838, and a lighthouse on the rocky coast of Newport, Rhode Island 100 years later. A beautiful, spellbinding novel with an unforgettable tale of love at its core. This mesmerizing book had my heart from the beginning.
Audio format is pure ear candy.
Fans of Martha Hall Kelly’s
Lilac Girls
and Kristin Hannah’s
The Nightingale
are sure to enjoy.

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
by Jacqueline Kelly
Submitted by Kelly K.
Amazing middle-grade book that brings back pleasures of a more simple time – the kind of classic book some of us were lucky enough to read as children (think
Caddie Woodlawn
and
The Penderwicks
). 11 year-old Calpurnia becomes best buddies with her grandfather and her world opens up. This is just a delightful exploration of a year in the life of a child and the wisdom she gains as she becomes more aware of her surroundings and place in the world. Great for any age reader!
(Newbery Honor 2010)

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise
by Dan Gemeinhart
Submitted by Stefanie M.
Coyote Sunrise and her father, Rodeo Sunrise (yes, those are their
real
names) are nomads. They live in a school bus named Yager that has been converted into a makeshift apartment, and they’ve spent the last five years traveling around the country, with the open road as their home. You see, Coyote lost her mother and two sisters in a car crash, and it’s much easier for her and Rodeo to keep moving forward rather than dwelling on the past. One day, while checking in with her grandmother, Coyote discovers that the park in her old neighborhood where her and her sisters buried a special memory box is scheduled to be demolished, and she is absolutely devastated. Determined to get back to that park, Coyote does whatever she can to convince Rodeo to keep driving toward home, and the friends and memories they make on that journey might even be just as meaningful as the ones that live in the box she’s so desperately trying to retrieve. A heartfelt road-tripping story for fans of Kate DiCamillo’s
Louisiana’s Way Home
or Sharon Creech’s
Walk Two Moons
--this is a page turner you won’t soon forget.
