The Lion and the Mouse
by Jerry Pinkney

In award-winning artist Jerry Pinkney's wordless adaptation of one of Aesop's most beloved fables, an unlikely pair learn that no act of kindness is ever wasted. After a ferocious lion spares a cowering mouse that he'd planned to eat, the mouse later comes to his rescue, freeing him from a poacher's trap. With vivid depictions of the landscape of the African Serengeti and expressively-drawn characters, Pinkney makes this a truly special retelling, and his stunning pictures speak volumes.

When You Reach Me
by Rebecca Stead

Four mysterious letters change Miranda’s world forever.

When Miranda's friend Sal gets punched by a new kid for what seems like no reason, he shuts Miranda out of his life. Then Miranda finds a mysterious note scrawled on a tiny slip of paper:

I am coming to save your friend’s life, and my own. I must ask two favors. First, you must write me a letter.

The notes keep coming, and Miranda slowly realizes that whoever is leaving them knows all about her, including things that have not even happened yet. Each message brings her closer to believing that only she can prevent a tragic death. Until the final note makes her think she’s too late.

The Unnamed

The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris

In Joshua Ferris's followup to the sensational Then We Came to the End, he continues to probe and prod at the psyche of the American white-collar worker.

Tim Farnsworth loves his wife, his family, his work, his home. He loves his kitchen. And then one day he stands up and walks out. And keeps walking. He becomes unmoored and delusional as he tries to reconcile the effects of the heretofore untreatable disease/illness/disorder with living a normal life.

Monsieur Pain
by Roberto Bolano

A cross between a Kafka story and a hard-boiled James Cain mystery written in that distinct Bolano style.  It follows Monsieur Pain, a mesmerist called in to treat a patient who can't stop hiccoughing, who is warned off treating said-patient by a duo of spanish doctors/gangsters.

Invisible
by Paul Auster

"Invisible" was the first Paul Auster novel I read; he truly grabbed my attention as an author I should be reading. This novel, his fifteenth, is told in four interlocking parts, each narrated by a different character. The story is primarily about Adam Walker, a student at Columbia in the late 60s, and his struggle with self-identity, comfort in his actions and the consequences of honesty and deception.
