Your Weekly St. Louis Bestseller List

Not just a New York Times bestseller, but a St. Louis bestseller, too!

Henrietta Lacks' reign on the adult best-seller list has finally ended. She's been displaced by The Outside Boy, Jeanine Cummins' first novel about a Traveler (that is, gypsy) boy in 1959 Ireland. But don't worry -- Rebecca Skloot's bestseller about an African-American woman who inadvertently donated her "immortal" cancer cells to science has only slipped to No. 2. The Pale King, David Foster Wallace's unfinished final novel, also did well, even though it wasn't scheduled to come out 'til April 15, Tax Day.

Over on the children's and young adult list, it was a good week for sequels. Rodrick Rules, the second installment Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series took the top spot, and St. Louis readers also picked up the further adventures of Katniss Everdeen (Suzanne Collins' Catching Fire), Curious George and Fudge Hatcher, the most obnoxious and embarrassing younger sibling of all time. (Come on, people, he ate his brother Peter's pet turtle!)
