From last week's Indie bestseller lists, available at IndieBound.org, here are the recommended titles, which are also Indie Next picks:

Hardcover

In This Way I Was Saved: A Novel by Brian DeLeeuw (Simon & Schuster, $25, 9781439103135/1439103135). "In This Way I Was Saved is fantastic psychological suspense about a family's haunting madness written from an unexpected point of view."--Cathy Allard, BayShore Books, Oconto, Wis.

Young Woman and the Sea: How Trudy Ederle Conquered the English Channel and Inspired the World by Glenn Stout (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $25, 9780618858682/0618858687). "Trudy Ederle, the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel in 1926, is the focus of this fascinating and readable book. Young Woman and the Sea is both inspirational and painlessly educational. Every young woman should read it to see where women were in society 100 years ago. Stout is an excellent storyteller."--Nancy Fontaine, Yankee Bookshop, Woodstock, Vt.

Paperback

One Foot Wrong: A Novel by Sofie Laguna (Other Press, $12.95, 9781590513163/1590513169). "Kept imprisoned by her unbalanced, zealously religious mother, Hester Wakefield has only fleeting contact with the outside world, and the only life she knows is one of torture, pain, and abuse. The story of her halting steps toward recovery is dark, but it also has an ending that practically defines poetic justice and a character whose haunting life will resonate long after the book is put down."--Emily Crowe, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, Mass.

For Ages 9 to 12

When the Whistle Blows by Fran Slayton (Philomel, $16.99, 9780399251894/0399251898). "Fran Slayton's When the Whistle Blows tells the story of a railroading family in 1940s West Virginia, when steam engines were king. But the wheels of progress bring the diesel engine and, with it, the end of a way of life. This is an engaging and moving portrayal of changing times in a small mountain town."--Carol Moyer, Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, N.C.
