The new novel by the Pulizer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain is set in the underworld. Its main character, Hatcher McCord, is an evening-news presenter who has found himself in Hell and is struggling to explain his bad fortune. He is not the only one to suffer this fate--in fact, he's surrounded by an outrageous cast of characters, including Humphrey Bogart, William Shakespeare, and almost all of the popes and most of the U.S. presidents. Each inhabitant's fate and afterlife in Hell is appropriately and ironically dealt. Robert Olen Butler's description of Hell is original, intelligent, and fiercely comic, a book Dante might have celebrated. | 9

Jane Smiley, the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Thousand Acres, makes her debut for young readers with this novel set on a California horse ranch in the 1960s,where a girl finds refuge from her problems with the horses. Seventh grader Abby Lovitt has always been more at ease with horses than with people. With all the stress at school (the Big Four have turned against Abby and her friends) and home (her brother Danny is gone--for good, it seems--and now Daddy won't speak his name), Abby seeks refuge with the Georges (the geldings) and the Jewels (the mares). Jane Smiley, who grew up in St. Louis, returns with what Publishers Weekly calls, "a lyrical meditation on horses, families and the vicissitudes of peer relationships among girls." | 10
