Staff Pick
Cover of The Reluctant Sheriff by Chris Offutt.Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
 
It's a (short) story that spans a summer of a first-time nanny taking care of two children who spontaneously combust and the challenges and victories they experience together. It's at once ridiculous and funny and poignant, and I ripped through it in a day. Full disclosure: while it can be classified as a "Light Summer Read", it WILL make you laugh and cry, sometimes on the same page.
