August Store Picks 
Thresholds by Nina Kiriki Hoffman
(Viking, hardcover, $15.99, releases 8/5)
Thresholds, Hoffman's first YA novel, is every bit as good as her adult books and she continues to be my favorite fantasy writer. Thresholds is a great coming-of-age story and is suitable for teens and younger kids reading above grade level.
- Recommended by Jill Hendrix, store owner
Monty Haaviko has done the crimes -- robbery, assault, embezzlement, arson, smuggling, attempted murder -- and even some prison time. But now he is just an ordinary decent criminal who wants to go straight so his wife won't leave him, taking their 10-month-old son with her. Unfortunately, Monty has both a small-time crime boss and a bad cop out to get him and so he can't put his past behind him just yet. Monty is an anti-hero everyone will be rooting for.
- Recommended by Nancy McFarlane, store employee
 This Must Be the Place by Kate Racculia
(Holt, hardcover, $25.00)
A mysterious thread weaves through the lives of Mona, her daughter Oneida and Arthur, the man who shows up on their doorstep seeking closure for the death of his wife, Amy. Kate Racculia tells the story so well with the voices, the actions and thoughts of these quirky characters that many times I forgot about the mystery only to be surprised by reminders that kept me turning pages to a realistic, satisfying ending.
- Recommended by Cynthia Clack, store employee
Heart of Lies is many things: it is a family saga, a history lesson into what Hungary and Shanghai were like between the wars, a novel of espionage, a wonderful love story; and, most importantly, it is the story of an extraordinary person, Leo Hoffman, and his tale of survival. I anxiously await the sequel, Heart of Deception, so I can follow more of Leo's fascinating life.
- Recommended by Nancy McFarlane, store employee
 Jake Starts School by Michael Wright
(Square Fish, paperback, $6.99)
As another school year starts, kids--especially first-timers--are likely to have some first-day jitters and won't want mom and dad to leave them. Jake is the same way. Find out what happens when Jake and his parents try to do everything together, from sitting in a chair to riding a tricycle.
- Recommended by Melissa Oates, store employee & mother of two
If you think Beverly Cleary's Ramona has it bad, what if your annoying little sister could actually read your mind? And your middle sister could literally disappear?

Breakthrough research revealed in this book shows how certain carb-rich foods--especially those with the amazing natural ingredient called Resistant Starch--act as powerful metabolism boosters and appetite suppressants.

 In a Heartbeat: Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving by Leigh Anne Tuohy (Holt, hardcover, $24.00)
First came the bestselling book, then the Oscar-nominated movie but until now, Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy have never told this astonishing tale in their own way and with their own words. Leigh Anne, the daughter of a tough-as-nails U.S. Marshal, decided early on that her mission was to raise children who would become "cheerful givers." Sean, who grew up poor, believed that one day he could provide a home that would be "a place of miracles." Together, they raised two remarkable children-Collins and Sean Jr.-and then one day Leigh Anne met a homeless African-American boy named Michael and decided that her family could be his.  Our Boys: A Perfect Season on the Plains with the Smith Center Redmen by Joe Drape (St. Martin's, paperback, $14.99, releases 8/3)
As the Redmen of Smith Center, Kansas, holders of the nation's longest high-school football winning streak, embarked on a quest for a fifth consecutive state title, they faced a potentially destabilizing transition: the greatest senior class in school history had graduated, and Coach Barta was contemplating retirement. In Smith Center--population: 1,931--this changing of the guard was seismic. Hours removed from the nearest city, the town revolves around "our boys" in a way that goes to the heart of what America's heartland is today.
