Today's Kindle Kids Daily Deal is Girl's Best Friend ($1.99), by Leslie Margolis.
Book Description
Dogs are disappearing in her neighborhood, and Maggie Brooklyn Sinclair knows all about it. After all, she has a semi-secret after-school gig as a professional (ok, amateur) dog-walker. Maggie hates to see a pup in trouble, so she's even willing to help her ex-best friend Ivy recover her rescue-dog, Kermit. Kermit's being held for ransom, and Maggie has noticed some suspicious behavior lately. But she never suspected her crush Milo could be involved . . .

Leslie Margolis's pitch-perfect voice and rich characters have endeared her to tweens, and her fans will flock to this hip new series featuring a clever and lovable new heroine, Maggie Brooklyn.

Grade Level: 3 and up

Today's Kindle Daily Deal is Save 80% or More on Kindle Books, with thousands included. It looks like Open Road, at the least, with many prices comparable (but often a bit higher) than the Kobo prices, using the coupon above (and Amazon keeps adding books and has done some price matching). There are way to many to list, so click the link and explore by genre. I know I will be (and I'll need a new gift certificate, I can tell already).


The Pure ($1.19 / £1.91 UK), by Jake Wallis Simons, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (no US edition).
Book Description
Buckle up… there’s a new Bourne in town. The time is now. The place is London. Meet Uzi, a disaffected, deadly ex-Mossad agent with revenge on his mind. When he gives details of a top-secret Israeli assassination operation to WikiLeaks, he makes himself a sworn enemy of the Mossad. But a mysterious, sexy woman known as Liberty is becoming strangely interested in him. Meanwhile, Iran is getting ever closer to building a nuclear weapon . . . What follows threatens to change the power balance of the Middle East and endanger the security of the world. The Pure is a high-octane, action-packed, adrenaline-pumping espionage thriller. Read it. Now.

In the Woods ($2.99 Kindle, B&N), the first title in Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series, is the Nook Daily Find, price matched on Kindle, where the companion audiobook is $3.95 or $4.95 on Audible's current sale, even without buying the Kindle book first.
Book Description
As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.

Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox—his partner and closest friend—find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past.

Richly atmospheric, stunning in its complexity, and utterly convincing and surprising to the end, In the Woods is sure to enthrall fans of Mystic River and The Lovely Bones. And look for French's new mystery, Broken Harbor, for more of the Dublin Murder Squad.
