LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE<br />
Working as a mother’s helper to a<br />
wealthy family that’s surrounded by lavish<br />
houses and beautiful swimming pools<br />
is about as far from her working-class<br />
neighborhood in New York as Dorothy<br />
can get. But something is not quite right<br />
in the Hoades’ house. They are hiding<br />
something — or someone — in the<br />
cottage behind the house. And when<br />
curiosity gets the better of her, Dorothy<br />
stumbles upon their secret — a secret<br />
that could cost her her future. “I ended<br />
the book in goosebumps. Shimmering.<br />
Completely entraps the reader.”<br />
—The Washington Post<br />

DOUBLE HELIX<br />
“Eli Samuels, 18, can’t get close—not<br />
to his caring but preoccupied dad; not<br />
to his smart, generous girlfriend, Viv;<br />
and certainly not to his mother, who has<br />
been institutionalized for years with a<br />
devastating midlife degenerative disease,<br />
the gene for which Eli may carry…Eli<br />
decides to forgo college and, despite his<br />
father’s unexpectedly vehement disapproval,<br />
takes a job at Wyatt Transgenetics,<br />
where he receives a surprisingly<br />
warm welcome from world-renowned<br />
geneticist Dr. Quincy Wyatt…A solidly<br />
crafted, thoughtful novel featuring a<br />
clever, obsessed kid who finds truths,<br />
small and large, about life, family, and, of<br />
course, himself.” —Booklist<br />
