Must-Read-Monday is a new feature here at The Hiding Spot. Each week I'll feature a book that, if it isn't already, should be on your radar!

The Museum of Intangible Things
by Wendy Wunder
Available April 10, 2014 from Razorbill/Penguin
Hannah
and Zoe haven't been given much in life, except each other, and they
don't have anything particularly wonderful waiting in their future.
Unless you count enrolling at the local community college, which they
don't. The only worthwhile tie the girls have to the New Jersey town
they grew is Zoe's autistic brother, who relies on Zoe and Hannah to
help him navigate the world and all the intangible things within it he
struggles to understand. After climbing out of a dark depression, Zoe
bounds into mania, declaring that Hannah might not have the best grip on
the intangibles either. Hoping to recover the real Zoe in the midst of
her cycles of depression and mania, Hannah agrees to ditch New Jersey
and embark on a cross country road trip in search of those difficult to
understand but absolutely essential intangibles: Loyalty. Envy.
Obligation. Dreams. Disappointment. Fear. Negligence. Coping. Elation.
Lust. Nature. Freedom. Heartbreak. Insouciance. Audacity. Gluttony.
Belief. God. Karma. Knowing what you want (there is probably a French
word for it). Saying Yes. Destiny. Truth. Devotion. Forgiveness. Life.
Happiness (ever after).
