09.26.09 Benjamin Alire Saenz - The Dog Who Loved Tortillas

Start: Sat, 09/26/2009 - 3:00pm

Benjamin Alire Sáenz has written a bilingual book for kids, dogs and even their parents. Like all kids, Little Diego and his big sister Gabriela argue over their new dog Sofie. She belongs to me, says Diego. No, she’s mine, says Gabriela. It’s only when Sofie gets really sick that they find out who their tortilla-loving pup really belongs to. Once again, Sáenz shows he understands the chemistry and dynamics of family, this time with a dog stirring up the recipe. This will be fun for the whole family.

Crashers (Hardcover) By Dana Haynes $24.99 Haynes's compelling first thriller takes familiar elements—a mysterious airplane crash, a bent FBI agent, a deadly female spy—and mixes them with the world of National Transportation Safety Board aviation disaster investigations. When pathologist Leonard Tommy Tomzak, sees a TV report of a nearby jetliner crash, he rushes to the site via helicopter. As other NTSB personnel make their way to the crash scene from around the country, Tommy and his local crew secure the site. The forensic details fascinate but aren't for the weak of stomach. Haynes nicely integrates several subplots involving terrorism. The slam-bang crash landing of a conclusion will leave readers anxiously awaiting the promised sequel

The Staff Recommends:


Driftless (Paperback) By David Rhodes $16.00 Winner of the Milkweed National Fiction Prize, Driftless, came out in paperback in 2009. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time. I got it from a friend and it sat in a stack until Sunday afternoon. I found myself setting aside time so I could read it and finished it last night. Our store book group should read it. The author wrote 3 books in the 70's and was in a motorcycle accident and is paralyzed from the chest down. This is his first book in 30 years. It was worth the wait!
