KIDS' INDIE NEXT LIST

This isn't your basic book list. Indie Next lists are comprised of books chosen by independent booksellers nationwide. These are books we're personally recommending to young readers right now. No algorithms, no sponsored picks. Just booksellers who love books letting you know what's worth reading. The Kids' list comes out every other month and features young adult, middle grade, and picture books, as well as an overall #1 pick. 

Kids' Indie Next # 1 Pick for September/October

Goodnight Moon meets the Addams Family in this deliciously backwards bedtime story and picture book debut by Eisner nominee Sid Sharp.

​

When the sun goes DOWN, it's time to get UP at Midnight Manor! The unusual residents have a busy night counting the caterpillars on the curtains and playing drums with the banshees in the basement. Before they know it, the sun is rising-which means it's finally time to say goodnight.

​

Midnight Manor is brimming with quirky characters and spooky scenarios in thoroughly domestic settings, from skeletons in the closet to bats in the laundry basket. Equal parts tribute to Edward Gorey and Maurice Sendak, this timeless bedtime book in reverse will delight kids and adults alike with each luxurious page painted in Eisner-nominated artist Sid Sharp's trademark lush style.

NY TIMES BESTSELLERS

The New York Times Bestseller List needs no introduction. It has been the benchmark for what's being read nationwide for decades. Updated weekly across Picture Books, Middle Grade, Young Adult and Childrens' Series, it's a great starting point for finding books kids are buzzing about right now.

Read a book. It's the only bedtime excuse that actually works.
