Gentle listeners and librarians, Are you ready for summer? Recorded Books is! And this quarter, we’re particularly blessed with good nonfiction. Dog Finds Lost Dolphins! is a fun and factual beginning-reader from National Geographic. Great for Common Core, this is the first of a hugely popular series, and we have more of these titles on the way. In honor of the WWI centenary, award-winning author Ann Bausum offers Stubby the War Dog, while Gabe & Izzy features a different kind of dog hero, one who helps a young woman overcome disability and bullying. You’ve probably seen Maya Van Wagenen on TV talking about Popular, her bestselling memoir about her year-long quest to become popular with the help of a 1950s teen etiquette book. If you loved our award-winning recording of How They Croaked by Georgia Bragg, you’ll fall down laughing at How They Choked: Failures, Flops, and Flaws of the Awfully Famous. Lisa Graff was a National Book Award nominee last year for A Tangle of Knots, and we are thrilled to be recording her new title, Absolutely Almost. Lisa graciously agreed to talk with us in our studios, and you’ll hear the resultant interview at the end of the audiobook. The Crossover by Kwame Alexander has four well-deserved starred reviews—you don’t have to be a basketball fan to love this novel in verse. Recorded Books has long been Jean Craighead George’s primary audio home, and we are proud to posthumously publish her final novel, Ice Whale, reminiscent of her classic Julie of the Wolves.

We’re delighted to welcome New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han back to our list with a summer-vacation listen par excellence: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, which School Library Journal calls “a lovely, lighthearted romance” in a starred review. Young-adult men need vacation audio, too, and Melvin Burgess’ The Hit, described in a Booklist starred review as “a novel of white-knuckle suspense,” is a great listen for guys. If I had to pick a favorite title on our third-quarter list, it would be a tough choice, but I’d probably go with Let’s Get Lost by writer-to-watch Adi Alsaid. His fresh take on the classic road trip is beautifully written and has won comparisons to the works of (gasp!) John Green and Rainbow Rowell. Happy listening, Melanie Donovan Director, Children’s Acquisitions
