'ON THE COME UP,' by Angie Thomas. Thomas' 2017 YA debut, "The Hate U Give," with its powerful tale of a black teen and a police shooting, was a runaway best-seller and later a movie. Her follow-up novel stars a 16-year-old girl who lost her father to gang violence and dreams of being a rapper like he was. Ages 14 and up. (Balzer + Bray, $18.99)
'EL NORTE: The Epic and Forgotten Story of Hispanic North America,' by Carrie Gibson. A century before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the Spanish came to the Americas.

'GOOD RIDDANCE,' by Elinor Lipman. Inspired by the "best-selling decluttering wizard" (you know who), the protagonist of Lipman's new comic novel tosses a Class of '68 yearbook that dated to her late mother's days as a high school teacher. But when a filmmaker fishes it out of the recycling bin and begins a documentary, our heroine finds her life turned upside down. (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $25)
