 What School Library Journal has to say about Alone: "The realistic character development will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the nail-biting conclusion. Fans of Stephen King's and R.L. Stine's novels will enjoy this entry."

The grounds are beautiful and it's fun to explore the sprawling house with its creepy rooms and secret passages. Except now her mom wants to renovate, rather than sell the estate—which means they're not going back to the city…or Seda's friends and school. As the days grow shorter, Seda is filled with dread. They're about to be cut off from the outside world, and she's not sure she can handle the solitude or the darkness it brings out in her. Then a group of teens get stranded near the mansion during a blizzard. Seda has no choice but to offer them shelter, even though she knows danger lurks in the dilapidated mansion—and in herself. And as the snow continues to fall, what Seda fears most is about to become her reality…  School Library Journal describes Busted by Gina Ciocco as "A satisfying story that explores how actions in life and relationships impact others" and that "the characters are realistic and well developed."

But the more Marisa gets to know sincere and artistic TJ, the more she starts to fall for him. Worse yet, the feelings seem to be mutual.

Recommend this book to fans of Adam Silvera's More Happy than Not and the film La La Land." Remember Me Always by Renee Collins Sourcebooks Fire Publication Date: October 3rd, 2017 Buy It: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound | Book Depository Shelby is nervous to start her senior year after spending the whole summer away from home. After all, it’s hard to be carefree when you’re trying to protect a secret. Shelby was in a devastating car accident, and everyone in town thinks that she was undergoing more physical therapy in Denver. Instead, Shelby’s mother enrolled her in a clinical program to stop the panic attacks that started after the crash. The treatment erased Shelby’s memory of the accident, but she can’t help feeling as if a piece of herself is missing, that the treatment took more than the doctors claimed. So when Shelby starts hallucinating a boy with dark and mysterious eyes, she knows it must be a side-effect of the clinical program. Except you can’t kiss hallucinations. And this boy insists that they know each other and are in love...  School Library Journal calls Plague Land: "A high-impact horrific thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seat and begging for the next installment." School Library Journal also says, "This fast-paced thriller is extremely intense and full of surprises, providing the YA horror genre with a wonderful postapocalyptic addition. Smaller chapters from all over the world showing the devastation of the virus creates a horrifying picture of mass destruction and a layered look at the plot. Adding to the multidimensional view of the story are small vignettes where the virus itself narrates and describes how it is evolving and replicating." Plague Land by Alex Scarrow Sourcebooks Fire Publication Date: December 5th, 2017 Buy It: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound | Book Depository Leon and his younger sister, Grace, have recently moved to London from New York and are struggling to settle into their new school when rumors of an unidentified plague in Africa begin to fill the news.

A month after touching Earth’s atmosphere, the virus has wiped out most of the population. Desperate to stay alive, Leon and Grace are reluctantly taken in by a tight-knit group of survivors. But as they struggle to win their trust, the siblings realize that the virus isn’t their only enemy, and survival is just the first step…  As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti received the following review from School Library Journal: "The plot itself transcends Eldon’s quest for a wish and becomes a study of human nature. This is a good story that includes a bit of romance, sports, friendship, family issues, and coming of age. A thoroughly engaging choice for readers of realistic fiction and magical realism." As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti Sourcebooks Fire Publication Date: January 2nd, 2018 Buy It: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | IndieBound | Book Depository If you could make one wish that was guaranteed to come true—what would you wish for?

Because in Madison, everyone can make one wish on their eighteenth birthday—and that wish always comes true. Most of Eldon's classmates have had their wishes picked out for months, even years. Not Eldon. He's seen how wishing has hurt the people around him. His parents' marriage is strained, his sister is a virtual ghost in their house, his ex-girlfriend is dating his ex-friend...where does he even begin?
