Arlene on the Scene by Carol Liu, with Marybeth Sidoti Caldarone: “Arlene’s going to be the youngest student government officer in Greenwood Elementary history. She’ll be the biggest thing to hit little Rhode Island since the invention of coffee milk. Sure, she wears purple leg braces and has a weird-sounding disease like Charcot-Marie-Tooth, but that won’t stop her.” (September 1)
Cupcake Nation by Susan Adele Wiggins: “Tall, lean and lovely to look at, Jake Wellington is owner to one of L.A.’s most successful bakeries, Cupcake. This book is a delicious comic satire set in contemporary Beverly Hills that skewers foodies, entertainment media, west coast affluence, trends and Power Love Affairs.” (September 23)
The Part-Time Thief and Other Appraisal Stories by Susan R. Stoltz: Sixty-five-year-old cross dressers? Murderers? Charging bison? Who would have thought the life of an appraiser could be so full of adventures and so potentially dangerous? When most of us hear the term, real estate, we think of realtors, banks and mortgage lenders. What most people fail to realize is that, like other high-risk jobs, we enter the homes of complete strangers without a clue as to what we may encounter. (October 30th 2010)
