Only at Target, find the June, 2013, Club Pick Tell the Wolves I'm Home: A Novel by Carol Rifka Brunt "Transcendent. . . .Peopled by characters who will live in readers' imaginations long after the final page is turned, Brunt's novel is a beautifully bittersweet mixture of heartbreak and hope." -Booklist (starred review) In this striking coming-of-age novel, Carol Rifka Brunt creates one of the most memorable young protagonists in fiction. Through the wise and tender voice of June Elbus, Brunt crafts a searingly honest portrait of family, grief, and hope. It's 1987, and fourteen-year-old June is struggling to fit in. The only person who truly understands her is her uncle, the famous artist, Finn Weiss; he is June's confidant and best friend. So when he dies, far too young, June feels like her world is coming to an end. Then, soon after Finn's funeral, June receives a surprise package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful Russian teapot she recognizes from Finn's apartment, along with a note from a stranger named Toby, asking June for a chance to meet. Going against everything her parents ever taught her, June agrees to a secret rendezvous. It turns out she's not the only one who's been desperately missing Finn. This stranger has stories to tell, and what June thought was the end of her world, might be just the beginning. A love letter to everyone who's ever felt invisible, misunderstood, and a little bit lost, Tell the Wolves I'm Home is sure to be a book club favorite. "This compassionate and vital novel will rivet readers until the very end." -BookPage "Touching and ultimately hopeful." -People NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Wall Street Journal o O: The Oprah Magazine o BookPage o Kirkus Reviews NAMED A FAVORITE READ BY GILLIAN FLYNN WINNER OF THE ALEX AWARDGenre: Fiction + Literature GenresAge: AdultPublisher: Random House Publishing GroupPages: 384Release Date: June 4, 2013 Date Published:
