A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses #2), by Sarah J. Maas.
Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at
a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart
remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to
save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with
Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its
dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil
looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness
her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes
to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.
Flannery, by Lisa Moore.
Sixteen-year-old Flannery Malone has it bad. She's been in love with
Tyrone O'Rourke since the days she still believed in Santa Claus. But
Tyrone has grown from a dorky kid into an outlaw graffiti artist, the
rebel-with-a-cause of Flannery's dreams, literally too cool for school.
Which is a problem, since he and Flannery are partners for the entrepreneurship class that she needs to graduate. And Tyrone’s vanishing act may have darker causes than she realizes.
Tyrone isn’t Flannery’s only problem. Her mother, Miranda, can’t pay the heating bills, let alone buy Flannery’s biology book. Her little brother, Felix, is careening out of control. And her best-friend-since-forever, Amber, has fallen for a guy who is making her forget all about the things she’s always cared most about — Flannery included — leading Amber down a dark and dangerous path of her own.
When Flannery decides to make a love potion for her entrepreneurship project, rumors that it actually works go viral, and she suddenly has a hot commodity on her hands. But a series of shattering events makes her realize that real-life love is far more potent — and potentially damaging — than any fairy-tale prescription.
If I Was Your Girl, by Meredith Russo.
Amanda Hardy is the new girl in school. Like anyone else, all she
wants is to make friends and fit in. But Amanda is keeping a secret, and
she's determined not to get too close to anyone.
But when she
meets sweet, easygoing Grant, Amanda can't help but start to let him
into her life. As they spend more time together, she realizes just how
much she is losing by guarding her heart. She finds herself yearning to
share with Grant everything about herself, including her past. But
Amanda's terrified that once she tells him the truth, he won't be able
to see past it.
Because the secret that Amanda's been keeping?
It's that at her old school, she used to be Andrew. Will the truth cost
Amanda her new life, and her new love?
Into the Wild: Yet Another Misadventure (Chicken Squad #3) by Doreen Cronin.
The Chicken Squad is back for their third (mis)adventure, and this time
they're facing off with whatever's hiding in a mystery box in the
backyard. A hilarious chapter book from the bestselling author of Click, Clack, Moo and Diary of a Worm.
Our
fluffy, fearless young detectives are back out sleuthing because
there's a new cage in the yard, and the Chicken Squad is determined to
figure out just who this new addition is. Because whatever it is, it's
definitely up to no good. So equipped with the latest surveillance
gear—which apparently includes copious amounts of marshmallows—the
chicks venture into the wild to get answers. Let's just hope they can
beat that giant raincloud that's closing in...because everyone knows
that chickens can't swim!
It Ain't So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas.
Zomorod (Cindy) Yousefzadeh is the new kid on the block . . . for the
fourth time. California's Newport Beach is her family's latest perch,
and she's determined to shuck her brainy loner persona and start afresh
with a new Brady Bunch name—Cindy. It's the late 1970s, and fitting in
becomes more difficult as Iran makes U.S. headlines with protests,
revolution, and finally the taking of American hostages. Even mood rings
and puka shell necklaces can't distract Cindy from the anti-Iran
sentiments that creep way too close to home. A poignant yet lighthearted
middle grade debut from the author of the best-selling Funny in Farsi.
Wild Swans, by Jessica Spotswood.
Wolf Hollow, by Lauren Wolk. (Also available in audio.)
Growing up in the shadows cast by two world wars, Annabelle has lived a
mostly quiet, steady life in her small Pennsylvania town. Until the day
new student Betty Glengarry walks into her class. Betty quickly reveals
herself to be cruel and manipulative, and while her bullying seems
isolated at first, things quickly escalate, and reclusive World War I
veteran Toby becomes a target of her attacks. While others have always
seen Toby's strangeness, Annabelle knows only kindness. She will soon
need to find the courage to stand as a lone voice of justice as tensions
mount.
Brilliantly crafted, Wolf Hollow is a haunting tale of
America at a crossroads and a time when one girl's resilience and
strength help to illuminate the darkest corners of our history.
