Jane Yolen recommends
The Road Towards Home (2023)
Corinne Demas
"This latest novel by the always wonderful Corinne Demas is about a growing relationship through the hiccups of aging. The two main characters are both fascinating and thoughtful people. He an English professor emeritus, she a bug-and-spider scientist plus bird-watcher. The 'home' of the title is rather two homes: the first where they remeet (they knew one another in college some fifty years in the past), and the second Noah's rather charming but broken-down cottage on a Cape Cod marsh, a great metaphor for the two of them. They are both wise and wisecrackers, both loving and snarky. And I, at eighty-three, sat up half the night finishing the book. It's that good."
Bad Company (2022)
(Bad Company Books, book 1)
Adam Stemple
"I stayed up all night reading this breath-taking zombie/godfather epic, and I stay up all night for nobody and nothing. Not even for one of my kids!"
Jillian vs. Parasite Planet (2021)
Nicole Kornher-Stace
"Look out Heinlein, here comes Nicole Kornher-Stace! In her middle grade novel, Jillian vs Parasite Planet, she not only does a Heinlein space explorer, but her young female hero, with hands full of science and parasites, manages to grow up as well. Huzzah! Great space fun with a lot of ick thrown in as well."
