In Susan Fletcher's new fantasy adventure, Falcon in the Glass (Margaret K. McElderry Books), a boy risks his life to save some very special children. In Venice in 1487, the secrets of glassblowing are guarded jealously. Renzo, a 12-year-old laborer in a glassworks, has just a few months to prepare for a test of his abilities and no one to teach him. If he passes, he will qualify as a skilled glassblower. If he fails, he will be expelled from the glassworks. But Renzo desperately needs another pair of hands to help him turn the glass as he practices. One night he is disturbed by a bird — a small falcon — that seems to belong to a girl hiding in the glassworks. Soon Renzo learns about her and others like her — the bird people, who can communicate with birds and are condemned as witches. He tries to get her to help him and discovers that she comes with baggage: 10 hungry bird-kenning children who desperately need his aid. Caught between devotion to his family, devotion to his art, and protecting a group of outcast children, Renzo struggles for a solution that will keep everyone safe.

Regina Gottlieb had been warned about Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious university high on a pastoral hill. He's said to lie in the dark in his office while undergraduate women read couplets to him. He's condemned on the walls of the women's restroom and enjoys films by Roman Polanski. But no one has warned Regina about his exceptional physical beauty — or his charismatic, volatile wife. My Education (Viking) is the story of Regina's mistakes, which begin in the bedroom and end — if they ever do — 15 years in the future and thousands of miles away. By turns erotic and catastrophic, Regina's misadventures demonstrate what can happen when the chasm between desire and duty is too wide to bridge. My Education is an intimately charged novel from Susan Choi, author of American Woman and A Person of Interest.
