We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending August 28, 2016–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #7 in Early & Middle Grade Readers) Dog Man by Dav Pilkey: “George and Harold have created a new hero who digs into deception, claws after crooks, and rolls over robbers. When Greg the police dog and his cop companion are injured on the job, a life-saving surgery changes the course of history, and Dog Man is born. With the head of a dog and the body of a human, this heroic hound has a real nose for justice. But can he resist the call of the wild to answer the call of duty?” (August 2016)
(Debuted at #8 in Hardcover Fiction) Surrender, New York by Caleb Carr: “In rural Burgoyne County, a pattern of strange deaths has emerged: adolescent boys and girls are found murdered in gruesome fashion. Senior law enforcement officials are quick to blame a serial killer, yet their efforts to apprehend this criminal are peculiarly ineffective.” (August 2016)
(Debuted at #14 in Children’s Illustrated) Pete the Cat’s Got Class by James Dean: “When Pete’s friend Tom has a tough time with math, our favorite blue cat steps in to help him out. With good friends, fun learning tools, and some extra help, it all adds up. Pete the Cat knows you can’t hate math—you just don’t love it yet!” (June 2016)
