Grey can't believe that Elora vanished into thin air any more than she can believe that nobody in a town full of psychics format: manuscript knows what happened. But as she digs into the night that Elora went missing, she begins to realize that everybody in town is hiding something--her grandmother Honey; her childhood crush Hart; and even her late mother, whose secrets continue to call to Grey from beyond the grave.

When a mysterious stranger emerges from the bayou--a stormy-eyed boy with links to Elora and the town's bloody history-- Grey realizes that La Cachette's past is far more present and dangerous than she'd ever understood. Suddenly, she doesn't know who she can trust. In a town where secrets lurk just below the surface, and where a murderer is on the loose, nobody can be presumed innocent--and La Cachette's dark and shallow lies may just rip the town apart.

ADALYN GRACE Little, Brown Books for Young BELLADONNA Readers August 2022 A Novel

format: manuscript Orphaned as a baby, seventeen-year-old Signa Hawthorne has grown up in the care of a long string of family members, each more interested in the wealth Signa stands to inherit at eighteen than in her wellbeing… and each winding up dead, one after the next. Marked by Death at a young age and followed by its shadowy presence ever since, the untimely demise of Signa’s relatives feels less like a coincidence and more like a curse.

After her most recent caretaker dies, Signa is shipped off to the last family she has left: Elijah Hawthorne, an extraordinarily wealthy widow whose sprawling estate is occupied by a handful of children, dozens of staff, and countless spirits. With only four months until she can collect her inheritance and get herself as far away from others as possible, Signa just needs to keep her head down and become the perfectly unnoticeable young woman polite society expects her to be. But when Signa is contacted by the ghost of Elijah’s late wife to suggest she was murdered and that her daughter, Blythe, may be next, it falls on Signa to unearth the truth. The longer she stays with the Hawthornes, the more it begins to feel like a true home to her—but as she exhumes secrets and bodies, and confronts the estate’s many hidden dangers, Signa begins to learn she isn’t just searching for a killer, but she may also be becoming one.

Nestled into this twisting and suspenseful plot are brilliant explorations of what it means to find a true home, the many ways in which people grapple with grief and loss, and how we face the inevitability of death.

Adalyn Grace is the author of All the Stars and Teeth and All the Tides of Fate.

Advance praise for INDIVISIBLE:

“Stellar, clear and emotional, realistic and suspenseful. The story is complex and heart-wrenching, yet full of hope and familial love.” —Booklist Reviews, starred review ★

"Heart-wrenching.... An ode to the children of migrants." —Kirkus Reviews

"Insightful.... The uncertainty and heartbreak faced by families separated by deportation is brilliantly displayed." —SLJ

“INDIVISIBLE is a deeply moving tribute to those between two worlds in the immigration crisis in America - a potent reminder that no human being is illegal, and that hundreds of thousands of children in this situation are forced to grow up too quickly. Although this is fiction, it’s far too real.” —Jodi Picoult, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways

"INDIVISIBLE is a heart-breakingly poignant and timely coming-of-age story of the human cost of a morally bankrupt immigration policy. This book is an unforgettable chronicle of the fiercest, indomitable love and devotion." —Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King

DANIEL ALEMAN

INDIVISIBLE Little, Brown BFYR (WE) May 2021 A Novel

Mateo Garcia and his younger sister, Sophie, have been taught to fear one word for as long as they can remember: deportation. Over the past few years, however, the fear that their undocumented immigrant parents could be sent back to Mexico has started to fade. Ma and Pa have been in the United States for so long, they have American-born children, and they're hard workers and good neighbors. When Mateo returns from school one day to find that his parents have been taken by ICE, he realizes that his family's worst nightmare has become a reality. With his parents' fate and his own future hanging in the balance, Mateo must figure out who he is and what he is capable of, and how he can protect his family. With questions of identity and belonging, Mateo’s story is something anyone can relate to.

Daniel Aleman's INDIVISIBLE is a remarkable story—both powerful in its explorations of immigration in America and deeply intimate in its portrait of a teen boy driven by his fierce, protective love for his parents and his sister.

Daniel Aleman was born and raised in Mexico City; his family moved to the United States when he was a teenager, and Daniel now lives in Toronto, where he went to college. This story is partially inspired by the separation, difficulties, and ultimately, the great opportunities his family encountered since making the decision to immigrate to the U.S. and Canada.

• Part surrealist acid-trip, part romance, and entirely winsome, BEFORE TAKEOFF is an unparalleled young adult novel set in a world with reinvented rules

Praise for previous book, We Didn’t Ask For This:

“Packed with quips and insights, the wry narrative captures the intense yearnings of young adulthood; the ridiculous spec- trum of clueless, controlling, and (sometimes) cooperative adults; and the overwhelming inertia of institutions . . . A droll, engrossing exploration of privileged teens striving to do better.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★

“In a timely novel featuring a large cast from around the globe, Alsaid (Brief Chronicle of Another Stupid Heartbreak) un- derlines ecological issues while showing the positive impact of creative problem solving and collaboration.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review ★

“The novel progresses with a light-hearted tone at a rapid pace, deftly exploring timely issues such as ecology and preser- vation, and Alsaid weaves in discussions about all forms of identity—nationality, race, religion, language, gender, sexual orientation…expertly blurs the line between right and wrong.” —Booklist

ADI ALSAID Knopf BFYR January 2022 BEFORE TAKEOFF format: full manuscript A Novel

Sixteen-year-old loner James finds himself in the Atlanta airport on a layover while traveling to Chicago from , where he and his family spent the holidays. His expectations of the airport are low: a bad sandwich with soggy lettuce and, if he’s lucky, a moment of shut-eye. What he gets? Seemingly interminable delays and Michelle: an outgoing 18-year-old returning from visiting her grandparents in France for what she fears will be the last time. When the two cross paths and hit a mysterious flashing green button on a dare, they unwittingly break the rules of the universe—at least as those rules apply to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta.

Before they can figure up from down, strange, impossible things start happening: snowstorms form inside the B terminal; jungles sprout up in the C terminal; and earthquakes split the ground apart in-between. And no matter how hard they try, no one can find a way in or out of the airport. Separated from their parents and facing increasingly bizarre (and dangerous) circumstances, James and Michelle team up to find their families and either escape the airport, or put an end to its mad- ness…all while dealing with the big questions about life: what is it; what is its purpose; and what does it mean when the person you just met, who maybe you think is cute, grabs you by the hand as the earth shakes beneath your feet Part surre- alist acid-trip, part romance, and entirely winsome, BEFORE TAKEOFF is incredibly resonant in our current moment.

Adi Alsaid was born and raised in Mexico City, where he spilled hot sauce on things. Along with writing and traveling the world, Adi has coached high school and elementary school basketball. In addition to Mexico, he has lived in Tel Aviv, Las Vegas, Monterey and Chicago. BEFORE TAKEOFF is his sixth novel.

She never has to fear losing her home and returning to life on the streets again—except Kohl, the man who tried to ruin her life, will do anything to get his empire back. Aina sets out to kill him before he can kill her.

But Alsane Bautix, the old army general who was banned from his seat in the government after Aina revealed his corruption, is working to take back power by destroying anyone who stands in his way. With a new civil war on the horizon and all their lives at risk, the only way for Aina to protect her home is to join up with the only other criminal more notorious than her: Kohl himself.

To defeat them both, Aina will resort to betrayal, poison, and a deadly type of magic that hasn’t been used in years.

• An original and revealing portrait of what it’s like to be a doctor offering a clear plan to save American healthcare.

Praise for UNCARING: “No one is better qualified to write about what ails health care than Robert Pearl. Uncaring ought to trigger a rethinking of the professional culture of American medicine.” —Malcolm Gladwell, author of five New York Times bestsellers

“In UNCARING, Dr. Robert Pearl provides an X-ray examination of the medical profession and how it has both promoted and adversely affected American healthcare.” —Eric Topol, MD, professor at Scripps Research and author of Deep Medicine

“How do so many young doctors who enter medicine filled with idealism and the desire to do good end up decades later as cynical professionals, caring about money, prestige, success—everything but the patient? Dr. Robert Pearl, in this riveting examination of the physician culture, diagnoses the pathologies in the system that too often strips the ‘caring’ out of health care.” ―Elisabeth Rosenthal, editor in chief of Kaiser Health News and author of An American Sickness

“Uncaring is a brilliant and incisive dive into physician culture, both its seamy underbelly and the moments that inspire. Pearl’s vast experience as a physician steeped in the culture, and as leader of one of the largest healthcare systems in America, allows him to write with authority, yet in a personal and engaging way, and at the end to offer solutions. The result is a wonderful and compelling read.” ―Abraham Verghese, MD, professor of medicine, Stanford University, and author of Cutting for Stone

DR. ROBERT PEARL UNCARING PublicAffairs How the Culture of Medicine Kills Doctors and Patients May 2021

Doctors are taught how to cure people. But they don’t always know how to care for them.

Hardly anyone is happy with American healthcare these days. Patients are getting sicker and going bankrupt from medical bills. Doctors are burning out and making dangerous mistakes. Both parties blame our nation’s outdated and dysfunctional healthcare system. But that’s only part of the problem.

In this important and timely book, Dr. Robert Pearl shines a light on the unseen and often toxic culture of medicine. Today’s physicians have a surprising disdain for technology, an unhealthy obsession with status, and an increasingly complicated relationship with their patients. All of this can be traced back to their earliest experiences in medical school, where doctors inherit a set of norms, beliefs, and expectations that shape almost every decision they make, with profound consequences for the rest of us.

UNCARING draws an original and revealing portrait of what it’s actually like to be a doctor. It illuminates the complex and intimidating world of medicine for readers, and in the end offers a clear plan to save American healthcare.

Dr. Robert Pearl is the former CEO of The Permanente Medical Group. Named one of Modern Healthcare's 50 most influential physician leaders, Pearl is a clinical professor of plastic surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine and is on the faculty of the Stanford Graduate School of Business. His previous book, Mistreated, was a bestseller.

• A bold and paradigm-busting new theory about the complex way ideas, movements, and behaviors spread, and how to efficiently effect the change you want to see in the world — for readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Richard Thaler, and Cass Sunstein.

Praise for CHANGE:

“An utterly fascinating read that will challenge some of your core assumptions about how social change happens. . . it might be the most important book on the science of social influence since Cialdini's Influence.” ―Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take

This is timely must-reading for any leader who wants to meet the forces of resistance head-on and steer behavior in positive directions.” ―Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School professor and author of Think Outside the Building

“This remarkable book provides a powerful way to think about change. Damon Centola elegantly synthesizes the latest research from network science, sociology, and psychology into a critically important guide to effecting change in our indi- vidual lives, businesses, societies, and beyond.” ―Jonah Berger, Wharton Professor and bestselling author of The Catalyst and Contagious

DAMON CENTOLA CHANGE How to Make Big Things Happen Little, Brown

Most of what we know about how ideas spread comes from bestselling authors who give us a compelling picture of a world, John Murray in which "influencers" are king, "sticky" ideas "go viral," and good behavior is "nudged" forward. The problem is that the world they describe is a world where information spreads, but beliefs and behaviors stay the same. When it comes to lasting change in what we think or the way we live, the dynamics are different: beliefs and behaviors are January 2021 not transmitted from person to person in the simple way that a virus is. The real story of social change is more complex. When we are exposed to a new idea, our social networks guide our responses in striking and surprising ways.

EMMA MARRIS

WILD SOULS Bloomsbury (WE) June 2021 Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-Human World

Protecting wild animals and preserving the environment are two ideals so seemingly compatible as to be almost inseparable. But in fact, between animal welfare and conservation science there exists a space of underexamined and unresolved tension: wildness itself. When is it right to capture or feed wild animals for the good of their species? How do we balance the rights of introduced species with those already established within an ecosystem? Can hunting be ecological? Are any animals truly wild on a planet that humans have so thoroughly changed? No clear guidelines exist to help us resolve such questions.

Transporting readers into the field with scientists tackling these profound challenges, Emma Marris tells the affecting and inspiring stories of animals around the globe—from Peruvian monkeys to Australian bilbies, rare Hawai’ian birds to majestic Oregon wolves. And she offers a companionable tour of the philosophical ideas that may steer our search for sustainability and justice in the non-human world. Revealing just how intertwined animal and human life really is, WILD SOULS will change the way you think about nature—and our place within it.

Emma Marris is an award-winning journalist based in Oregon. She writes for The Atlantic, The New York Times, National Geographic and Outside Magazine, among many others.

CHRISTINE QUINN HOW TO BE A BOSS BITCH Abrams Ebury From the star of Netflix’s Selling Sunset Spring 2022

format: proposal

When competitive colleagues, ex-boyfriends, castmates, or Selling Sunset viewers call Christine Quinn a bitch, she says “thank you.” Part personal narrative, part how-to guide, and all tea-spilling juiciness, HOW TO BE A BOSS BITCH gives us an uncensored look at the life philosophy that has allowed Quinn to rise from high school dropout and Texas bartender to one of the most successful real estate agents in LA with killer fashion, A-list friends, and tons of cold hard cash.

DR. PETER KIM HOW TRUST WORKS

And the Science of How to Repair It

HOW TRUST WORKS (And The Science of How to Repair It) is a timely and important examination of one of the most essential factors in all successful relationships: trust. Dr. Kim will explain the two most powerful determinants of trust (perceived competence and perceived integrity) and why those determinants can be weighted so unevenly when we are deciding whether to trust or forgive someone—or not. We as humans are bad at determining the trustworthiness of other people, and we are even worse at defending our own trustworthiness when it comes under fire. Yet despite this shortcoming, and the fact that we are all keenly aware of how important trust is in all of our personal and professional relationships, surprisingly little substantive research had been done on the topic before Dr. Kim began his inquiries. In fact, the majority of our institutional knowledge at the time seemed to rely almost entirely on case studies and other Flatiron (WE) anecdotes. Dr. Kim was forced to develop his own set of rigorous scientific tools that would help him analyze how people interact with one another in the face of conflict. Spring 2023 Dr. Kim will illustrate how the patterns he identified in the lab play out in the real world using both recent and infamously public examples of trust violations and attempts at repair. These examples range from why the American public was willing to overlook ’s sex scandal but never forgave Bill Clinton, to revisiting the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville and reactions to the police killing of George Floyd, including an examination of how different cultures can develop very different views about what constitutes an irredeemable transgression. We have never been in greater need of a serious conversation about trust and how to repair it, a conversation based on rigorous scientific research rather than mere conjecture. Format: proposal

TOBIAS ROSE-STOCKWELL OUTRAGE MACHINE

Why Rational People Become Righteous, Scared and Angry on Social Media— and What This Means for Democracy

A noticeable shift has occurred in the last two decades. The prevalence of hate speech online. The turn toward authoritarianism and populism across the western world. Every day, it seems, we're hearing more angry voices and fearful Hachette opinions, we're seeing more threats and frightening news, and we're reacting faster and less rationally.

The cause is hidden in plain sight: for the first time, almost all of the information we consume is controlled and curated by Piatkus algorithms designed to capture our emotional attention. This is the outrage machine. It is the wide-cast net of social media that is propelled by tech, has been exploited by all of us, and which has been allowed to steadily replace our newspapers, emergency communication systems, town halls, churches, and more.

• A new and exciting project from the health and science editor for the New York Times Opinion section • For 2+ years, Sifferlin has been talking to patients, family members, and doctors in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network, a unique “clinic of last resort” that brings together top physicians at 10 prestigious research hospitals to serve patients with the most mysterious illnesses: conditions that other doctors can’t identify or treat. What makes an undiagnosable illness? What does it take to be heard and believed? And even when resources are un- paralleled, are there limits to what medicine can know?

ALEXANDRA SIFFERLIN UNDIAGNOSED

Everyone loves a medical mystery, and it’s no wonder why: an estimated 30 million people in America are living with an undiagnosed illness of their own. Since 2008, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has funded a network of physicians focused on providing diagnoses and treatment for people with some of the most challenging medical cases. Sometimes referred to as “the clinic of last resort,” the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) includes 10 hospitals across the nation Viking (NA) where teams of medical experts use imaging, physical exams, and advanced genetic sequencing to crack some of the rarest disorders. So far, doctors and scientists at the UDN have evaluated 1,029 people and diagnosed only 283. 2023 In UNDIAGNOSED, we will encounter patients within the UDN, such as Maria Ruley, whose genetic tests only unlocked part of the explanation for her complex regional pain system, and whose young son may develop the same condition; patients who cannot access the resources of the UDN, such as Dr. Diana Cejas, a neurologist whose strange growth on her neck was ignored by doctors even though she was herself a med student at Howard University (the growth turned out to be cancerous); and groups of patients who come together online and in person to find answers for the misunderstood symptoms they have in common, such as COVID longhaulers. Together, these stories tell us a bigger story about how we share health information and innovation, and how and why diagnoses matter. The right diagnosis can be the most Format: proposal important piece of medical information a person can receive.

This book has never been more critical as the world is collectively living through a period of time marked by pandemic and medical confusion, where millions of people are experiencing bizarre and not always explainable symptoms. While the hunt for a diagnosis has long been an experience that millions of Americans and people worldwide are familiar with, the pandemic has created a new understanding, empathy, and interest in what it means to be unwell and how to get a diagnosis.

GLORIA MARK, PHD ATTENTION SPAN

The Surprising Science of How We Focus, Why That’s Changing, and How Rhythm Became the New Flow Hanover Square Press

Since 1991, Dr. Gloria Mark has been researching the correlative decline in productivity, happiness, and attention span alongside the increasing integration of digital tools into our work and personal lives. But while the statistics frequently WilliamCollins cited from her research in popular press look grim, she is far from a doomsday crier. Embracing the reality that most of us cannot retreat to a non-digital existence, Dr. Mark argues for a new conception of “focus” that works with our brain’s responses to constant demands on our attention, rather than against them. Spring 2022

In large part a response to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s enormously popular 1990 book Flow, ATTENTION SPAN offers a new model for thinking about attention that makes sense for the digitally burnt-out, twenty-first century reader.

This book is packed with fascinating science and practical pointers for restructuring our digital habits, accomplishing more, and reclaiming control of our lives.
