We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending March 20, 2016–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #9 in Hardcover Fiction) At the Edge of the Orchard by Tracy Chevalier: “1853: Their youngest child Robert is wandering through Gold Rush California. Restless and haunted by the broken family he left behind, he has made his way alone across the country. In the redwood and giant sequoia groves he finds some solace, collecting seeds for a naturalist who sells plants from the new world to the gardeners of England. But you can run only so far, even in America, and when Robert’s past makes an unexpected appearance he must decide whether to strike out again or stake his own claim to a home at last.” (March 2016)
(Debuted at #11 in Hardcover Fiction) Private Paris by James Patterson & Mark Sullivan: “When Jack Morgan stops by Private’s Paris office, he envisions a quick hello during an otherwise relaxing trip. But Jack is quickly pressed into duty after getting a call from his client Sherman Wilkerson, asking Jack to track down his young granddaughter, who is on the run from a brutal drug dealer. ” (March 2016)
(Debuted at #12 in Children’s Illustrated) Guess How Much I Love You: One More Tickle! written by Sam McBratney & illustrated by Anita Jeram: “Little Nutbrown Hare wants to know if Big Nutbrown Hare is ticklish. ‘Can I tickle your ears? Is your nose tickly, too?’ Tickle, tickle, tickle! Little ones can join in too, tickling the soft and snuggly puppet that pops through each page, or — just maybe — being tickled themselves by Little Nutbrown Hare!” (February 2016)
