HOMES, A.M.
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Harold Silver has spent a lifetime watching his younger brother, George, a taller, smarter, and more successful
high-flying TV executive, acquire a covetable wife, two kids, and a beautiful home in the suburbs of New York
City. But Harry, a historian and Nixon scholar, also knows George has a murderous temper, and when George
loses control the result is an act of violence so shocking that both brothers are hurled into entirely new lives in
which they both must seek absolution. Harry finds himself suddenly playing parent to his brother’s two
adolescent children, tumbling down the rabbit hole of Internet sex, dealing with aging parents who move through
time like travelers on a fantastic voyage.

MEMOIRS OF AN IMAGINARY FRIEND
DICKS, MATTHEW
Budo is lucky as imaginary friends go. He's been alive for more than five years, which is positively ancient in the
world of imaginary friends. But Budo feels his age, and thinks constantly of the day when eight-year-old Max
Delaney will stop believing in him. When that happens, Budo will disappear. Max is different from other children.
Some people say that he has Asperger’s Syndrome, but most just say he’s “on the spectrum.” None of this
matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully, from awkward situations
in the cafeteria, and even in the bathroom stalls. But he can’t protect Max from Mrs. Patterson, the woman who
works with Max in the Learning Center and who believes that she alone is qualified to care for this young boy.
When Mrs. Patterson does the unthinkable and kidnaps Max, it is up to Budo and a team of imaginary friends to
save him—and Budo must ultimately decide which is more important: Max’s happiness or Budo's very existence.

THE MEMORY JAR
GOYER, TRICIA
Every year, 30--40 young Amish men descend on the cozy little town of West Kootenai, Montana, arriving in the
spring to live there for six months and receive 'resident' status for the hunting season in the fall. They arrive as
bachelors, but go home with brides! Sarah Shelter has lived in West Kootenai for the last ten years and wonders
if she will ever fall in love. Since the tragic death of her best friend, she carries her memories in a jar along with
the small items connected to them. For just as long, she's also been carrying around her emotions instead of
allowing them to penetrate deep into her heart. Now she's met a kind and gentle man who may be able to break
down the wall. But can Sarah risk her heart to finally achieve her dreams?
