Don't Miss Out

Stephanie KloseA number of July audiobooks center on missing or lost characters, including Eve Chase's The Wildling Sisters, in which four sisters are affected by their cousin's disappearance five years earlier, and Sheena Kamal's series launch The Lost Ones, in which a woman reluctantly helps look for the child—now a teenager—she gave up for adoption. In fiction, Joshilyn Jackson's heroine returns to her hometown to reveal her unexpected pregnancy, but ends up uncovering a dangerous family secret. Edwidge Danticat's memoir about her mother's death also explores the idea of writing about the end of life. Wattpad author A.V. Geiger delves into a twisted online relationship in the YA novel Follow Me Back. In middle grade, Sara Crowe's Ash meets supernatural figure Bone Jack, while young listeners learn about a little-known facet of African American history in Carole Boston Weatherford's Freedom in Congo Square.
