Release Date: March 1, 2019, as Chaos Walking
How do you escape a world where everyone can hear each other’s thoughts at all times? In this dystopian thriller, Todd needs to figure this out as quickly as possible, for he’s the only boy left in a (mentally loud) town full of men who are hiding something from him. On the run with his faithful dog (whose thoughts he can also hear), he discovers that “the Noise germ” did not kill every female it reached, like he had been told. Now he needs to figure out how the quiet girl survived and how many lies the adults fed him before those on his tail catch up.

The darling of book clubs everywhere, Where’d You Go Bernadette is the story of a quirky genius named — you guessed it — Bernadette, who causes strong reactions in everyone she meets (sometimes good, sometimes not-so-good). She disappears just before it’s time to have a family vacation, and it is up to her 15-year-old daughter Bee to piece together the puzzle that her anxious mom left behind to find her. The heartwarming, compulsively readable book is coming to theaters with a strong female cast that fans are already excited about.
