Shelf Awareness for Readers, our weekly consumer-facing publication featuring adult and children's book reviews, author interviews, backlist recommendations, and fun news items, is being published today. Starred review highlights include the claustrophobic locked-room mystery The Chamber by Will Dean; MJ Wassmer's "hilarious, high-stakes social satire" Zero Stars, Do Not Recommend; the "riveting puzzle" that is Catherine Steadman's "sinister thriller" Look in the Mirror; and Adela's Mariachi Band, a "colorful, jubilant picture book" by Denise Vega, illustrated by Erika Rodriguez Medina, about an exuberant girl finding her place in the family band. In The Writer's Life, the authors of Gender Explained discuss the growing awareness of gender and identity. Plus, rediscover Robert Caro's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Robert Moses, The Power Broker, and learn about the New-York Historical Society exhibition honoring the 50th anniversary of its publication.
