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 July/August

A humorous and touching tale of the unexpected friendship that blossoms between a peaceful skeleton and a persistent cat. Told in five short and charming stories that will remind you of Frog and Toad.


Skeleton lives alone in lonesome bliss. She reads books, drinks tea, and tends to her garden. It's simple and peaceful. Until, one day, a cat knocks on Skeleton's door...

"Can I come in?" asks the Cat.

Readers and cat lovers of all ages will adore this surprising duo who is sure to convince you that skeletons are gardeners, cats tell good-ish jokes, and, together, they make the best of friends.

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.
