A Girl Called Fearless Catherine Linka

Set in an altered—yet terrifyingly familiar—present-day USA, a riveting debut about a teen girl who must decide whether to submit to a forced marriage... or run for freedom

Avie Reveare has the normal life of a privileged teen growing up in L.A., at least as normal as any girl's life is these days. After a synthetic hormone in beef killed 50 million American women ten years ago, only young girls, old women, men and boys are left to pick up the pieces. The death threat is past, but fathers still fear for their daughters’ safety, and the Paternalist Movement, which was begun to “protect” young women, is taking over all the choices they make. Like all her friends, Avie still mourns the loss of her mother, but she's also dreaming about college and love and what she'll make of her life. But when her dad contracts her to marry a rich, older man to raise the money to save his struggling company, her life suddenly narrows to two choices: be trapped in a marriage with a controlling politician, or run. Her lifelong friend, student revolutionary Yates, urges her to run to freedom over the border to Canada. He's always believed she's fearless and will help her escape if she's willing. As their friendship turns to passion, the decision to leave becomes harder and harder. Running away is incredibly dangerous and it's possible she'll never see Yates again. But staying could mean death. Romantic, thought-provoking, and frighteningly real, A Girl Called Fearless is a speculative thriller about fighting for the most important things in life--freedom and love.

Spirits of Ash and Foam A Rain of the Ghosts Novel

Greg Weisman

In this second book of the Rain of the Ghosts series, Rain Cacique (who can talk to ghosts thanks to a gift from her dead grandfather) is navigating high school while searching for answers.

Welcome to the Prospero Keys (or as the locals call them: the Ghost Keys), the beautiful chain of tropical islands on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle where Rain Cacique lives. When Rain's maternal grandfather passed away, he left her his special armband: two gold snakes intertwined, clasping each other’s tails in their mouths. Rain soon discovers that the armband is actually a zemi – a very powerful talisman created by the island’s native Arawak Taino Indians – and that it allows Rain to see ghosts, including her own grandfather who is determined to help her uncover the Ghost Keys’ hidden world of mystery and mysticism, intrigue and adventure. Now, Rain Cacique’s looking for a few answers — and the second zemi, a Taino relic that allows her to see dead people. But it’s the first week of school, so she’s pretty busy juggling teachers, homework, baby-sitting duties, new friends, missing tourist kids… and a vampire with a tribal twist.

Push Girl A Novel

Chelsie Hill and Jessica Love

An inspiring, real, and fresh young adult novel about how life can change in an instant by Chelsie Hill, one of the stars of the Sundance Channel reality show Push Girls, based on her own life.

Kara is a high school junior who's loving life. She's popular, has a great group of friends and an amazing boyfriend, and she's a shoe-in for homecoming queen. Even though her parents can't stop fighting and her ex-boyfriend can't seem to leave her alone, Kara won't let anything get in the way of her perfect year. It's Friday night, and Kara arrives at a party, upset after hearing her parents having another one of their awful fights, and sees another girl with her hands all over her boyfriend. Furious, Kara leaves to take a drive, and, as she's driving through an intersection, a car comes out of nowhere and slams into the driver's side of Kara's car.

When Kara wakes up, she has no memory of the night before. Where is she? Why are her parents crying? And, most importantly -- why can't she feel her legs? As Kara is forced to adjust to her new life, where her friends aren't who they seemed to be and her once-adoring boyfriend is mysteriously absent, she starts to realize that what matters in life isn't what happens to you -- it's the choices you make and the people you love.

Co-written by "Push Girls" star Chelsie Hill, whose real life closely mirrors Kara's experience, this novel will open the eyes of readers everywhere who have never met someone who lives with paralysis.

CHELSIE HILL is one of the stars of the Sundance Channel series "Push Girls." Chelsie was a high school senior when she was driven home by a friend who had been drinking. Their SUV veered off the road and crashed into a tree, snapping Chelsie’s back and paralyzing her from the waist down. With her father, she went on to establish a nonprofit foundation. The Walk and Roll Foundation, to aid people with spinal cord injuries. JESSICA LOVE is a high school teacher in California.

Charm & Strange Stephanie Kuehn

A haunting and emotional debut, Charm & Strange is the story of a young man discovering who he is as he figures out how to keep his dark past from defining his future

Exiled to a remote Vermont boarding school in the wake of an unspeakable tragedy, sixteen-year-old Andrew Winston Winters means to forget everything about his past—his dead siblings, his estranged parents, his own explosive rage. Even his name.

It’s for the best.

But forgetting doesn’t come easy for Win. Not when what matters has been the source of so much pain. Not when there are people who care about him whether he wants them to or not. How far will he go to protect himself? Will he surrender his sanity to the darkness inside his mind? Or will he learn to make peace with the most elemental of truths—that choosing to live can mean so much more than not dying.

Alternating between Win's tragic past and the isolation of his present, Charm & Strange weaves a haunting, unforgettable portrait of grief, madness, and ultimate resilience.

From the author of the critically acclaimed Charm & Strange, comes a psychological thriller about a young man who is forced to deal with his past when his troubled sister comes back to town.

Two years ago, fifteen-year-old Jamie Henry breathed a sigh of relief when a judge sentenced his older sister to juvenile detention for burning down their neighbor's fancy horse barn. The whole town did. Because Crazy Cate Henry used to be a nice girl. Until she did a lot of bad things. Like drinking. And stealing. And lying. Like playing weird mind games in the woods with other children. Like making sure she always got her way. Or else. But today Cate got out. And now she’s coming back for Jamie. Because more than anything, Cate Henry needs her little brother to know this one simple truth: she’s not the crazy one and never has been. He is.

Reckoning Kerry Wilkinson

The first book in a new trilogy by UK author Kerry Wilkinson, Reckoning is the story of one girl's determination to survive the whims of a cruel king whom she has been chosen to serve.

One girl. One reckoning. One destiny.

In a far-off future, after years of war and famine have eliminated all technological advancement, returning society to a fuedal system, in the village of Martindale, hundreds of miles north of the new English capital of Windsor, sixteen-year-old Silver Blackthorn takes the Reckoning. This coming-of-age test not only decides her place in society – Elite, Member, Inter or Trog – but also determines that Silver is to become an Offering for King Victor.

But these are uncertain times and no one really knows what happens to the teenagers who disappear into Windsor Castle. Is being an Offering the privilege everyone assumes it to be, or do the walls of the castle have something to hide?

Trapped in a maze of ancient corridors, Silver finds herself in a warped world of suspicion where it is difficult to know who to trust and who to fear. The one thing Silver does know is that she must find a way out . . .

PRAISE

"Reckoning had everything I’m looking for in a great read—vivid characters dealing with impossible circumstances, romance, and a fully realized world that kept me flipping pages long into the night."--Heather Anastasiu, author of Glitch and Override

Kerry Wilkinson is a sports journalist living in Lancashire, England. Amazon UK named him the best selling self-published e-book author of 2011.

Navy SEAL Dogs Michael Ritland

For young readers a special edition of the New York Times bestseller Trident K9 Warriors—the first book to take readers inside the world of elite Navy SEAL working dogs

The New York Times bestseller Trident K9 Warriors gave readers the first inside look at the SEAL teams' elite K9 warriors—who they are, how they are trained, and the extreme missions they undertake to save lives. From detecting explosives to eliminating the bad guys, these powerful dogs are also some of the smartest and highest skilled working animals on the planet. Mike Ritland's job is to train them.

This re-telling for teens presents the dramatic tale of how Ritland discovered his passion and grew up to become the trainer of the nation's most elite military working dogs. Ritland was a smaller-than-average kid who was often picked-on at school—which led him to spend more time with dogs at a young age. After graduating BUD/S training—the toughest military training in the world—to become a SEAL, he was on combat deployment in Iraq when he saw a military working dog in action and instantly knew he'd found his true calling.

Ritland started his own company to train and supply working and protection dogs for the U.S. Government, Department of Defense, and other clients. He also started the Warrior Dog Foundation to help retired Special Operations dogs live long and happy lives after their service.

This is the true story of how Mike Ritland grew from a skinny, bullied child, to a member of our nation's most elite SEAL Teams, to the trainer of the world's most highly skilled K9 warriors.

PRAISE

"Navy SEAL Dogs gives a unique insider account of the training and deployment of these special animals and their handlers. Ritland does a superb job of detailing these dogs in combat, as well as the bond between operator and K-9. Readers are sure to be surprised by the different levels of service and skill that go into making an elite team of two legged and four legged SEALs."—Howard Wasdin, former Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author of I Am a SEAL Team Six Warrior

MIKE RITLAND joined the Navy in 1996 and graduated with BUD/S class 215. After years as a member of SEAL Team 3, he became a BUD/S instructor and then started his own company to train dogs for the SEAL teams. Today he continues to supply working and protection dogs to a host of clients, including the U.S. government and Department of Defense. He also started the Warrior Dog Foundation to help retired Special Operations dogs live long and happy lives after their service.

Dirty Wings Sarah McCarry

A gorgeous retelling of the Persephone myth, Sarah McCarry brings us the story of Cass and Maia--the mothers from All Our Pretty Songs--and how their fates became intertwined.

Maia is a teenage piano prodigy and dutiful daughter, imprisoned in the oppressive silence of her adoptive parents' house like a princess in an ivory tower. Cass is a street rat, witch, and runaway, scraping by with her wits and her knack for a five-fingered discount. When a chance encounter brings the two girls together, an unlikely friendship blossoms that will soon change the course of both their lives. Cass springs Maia from the jail of the only world she's ever known, and Maia's only too happy to make a break for it. But Cass didn't reckon on Jason, the hypnotic blue-eyed rocker who'd capture Maia's heart as soon as Cass set her free--and Cass isn't the only one who's noticed Maia's extraordinary gifts. Is Cass strong enough to battle the ancient evil she's unwittingly awakened--or has she walked into a trap that will destroy everything she cares about? In this time, like in any time, love is a dangerous game.

Extraction Stephanie Diaz

A brilliantly paced YA debut about a fearless girl who wins escape from a brutal life on her planet's surface only to find herself battling to save the entire planet from destruction

"Welcome to extraction testing"

Clementine has spent her whole life preparing for her 16th birthday when she'll be tested for Extraction, in the hopes of being sent from Kiel's toxic Surface to the much safer Core, where people live without fear or starvation. When she proves promising enough to be “extracted,” she must leave without Logan, the boy she loves. Torn apart from her only sense of family, Clem promises to come back and save him from brutal Surface life. What she finds initially at the Core is a utopia compared to the Surface—it’s free of hard labor, gun-wielding officials, and the moon's lethal acid—but life is anything but safe, and Clementine learns that the planet's leaders are planning to exterminate Surface dwellers—and that means Logan, too. Trapped by the steel walls of the underground and the lies that keep her safe, Clementine must find a way to escape and rescue Logan and the rest of the planet. But the planet's leaders don't want her running—they want her subdued. With great writing, fluid dialogue, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Extraction is a page-turning, gripping read—sure to entertain lovers of Hunger Games and Ender's Game—and leave them breathless for more.

PRAISE

"With its toxic moon and dangerous secrets, Kiel is a planet you'll want to visit again and again, especially with tough, plucky Clementine as your guide. A breathtaking debut that kept me glued to the page!" –Jessica Khoury, author of Origin "Bold, brutal, and brilliantly paced, EXTRACTION kept me racing through the pages and desperate for more." —Shannon Messenger, author of Keeper of the Lost Cities "Viciously beautiful, EXTRACTION sucks you into a brutal world where action and twists come at a relentless pace, hitting the best notes of old-school sci-fi. I flew through it!" —Kat Zhang, author of What's Left of Me

Twenty-one-year-old STEPHANIE DIAZ recently graduated from San Diego State University and continues to live in San Diego, CA. Extraction is her first novel in a planned trilogy.

Deadly Little Sins A Prep School Confidential Novel

Kara Taylor

Anne Dowling faces possible expulsion and a romantic ultimatum in this fast-paced, juicy installment in the Prep School Confidential series

It’s August and Anne Dowling—a fresh, original, and funny new YA heroine whose knowing, irreverent voice will remind readers of Pretty Little Liars and Private—is back in New York City for the summer. After reconnecting with her old friends and attending chic Manhattan parties, she’s been able to forget about all of the terrible things that happened during her first year at Wheatley Prep… for the most part. There’s one thing Anne can’t forget, though—Ms. Cross. Her favorite teacher and only adult ally at Wheatley who apparently never really existed in the first place. At least not with that name. Then Anne finds a clue that makes her realize the school may be hiding the key to Ms. Cross’s identity—and her sudden, mysterious disappearance. She heads back to Boston a few weeks before school starts to investigate on her own, but with campus empty of her friends (and frenemies), it’s even creepier than usual. When classes start, Anne is thrown back together with her usual band of Wheatley friends, including Brent and Anthony, both of whom are jostling for her attention. It seems like Anne can hardly get a minute alone to sort through the truth and the lies about Ms. Cross, especially when she gets the forboding sense that someone’s following her—someone who will stop at nothing to keep her from learning the truth in this engrossing, unputdownable read.

PRAISE

Praise for Prep School Confidential: “A fast-moving murder mystery with preppy overtones and a determined heroine… A fizzy read.” —Kirkus “Shines with a truly puzzling plot, a grisly murder that speaks to her audience’s maturity, and a couple of good red herrings. Her sleuth… is charming and wise beyond her years.” —RT Book Reviews, (4 stars) "This book rocks! ... It's scandalously delicious in the same vein as Pretty Little Liars and Revenge, with a wickedly clever plot that kept me guessing right up until the end." —Gemma Halliday, New York Times bestselling author of Honeymoon in High Heels

KARA TAYLOR is the twenty-something author of the Prep School Confidential novels. Recently, she developed a TV show with Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (cowriters on Celeste and Jesse Forever) which was bought by the CW. In the past, Taylor has worked as everything from a nanny to an ice cream scooper on Fire Island, New York.

How to Fall Jane Casey

In a riveting young adult mystery from beloved crime writer Jane Casey, sixteen-year-old Jess Tennant searches for the truth behind the death of a cousin she never got to meet in life

Sixteen-year-old Jess Tennant has never met any of her relatives, until her mother suddenly takes her to spend the summer in the tiny English town where she grew up. Her mom’s decision is surprising, but even more surprising is the town’s reaction to Jess. Everywhere she goes, people look at her like they’ve seen a ghost. In a way, they have—she looks just like her cousin Freya, who died shortly before Jess came to town. Jess immediately feels a strange connection to Freya, whom she never got to meet alive. But the more she learns about Freya’s life, the more suspicious the circumstances of her death start to look. One thing is for sure: this will be anything but the safe, boring summer in the country Jess was expecting. Beloved author Jane Casey breaks new ground with this cleverly plotted, remarkably written young adult mystery.

Blonde Ops A Novel

Charlotte Bennardo and Natalie Zaman

The Devil Wears Prada meets Ally Carter in this young adult novel, set in Rome, which features a fashion magazine intern who uncovers a plot to kidnap the First Lady.

Expelled from yet another boarding school for hacking, sixteen-year-old Rebecca "Bec" Jackson is shipped off to Rome to intern for Parker Phillips, the editor-in-chief of one of the world’s top fashion magazines. But when a mysterious accident lands Parker in a coma, former supermodel and notorious drama queen Candace Worthington takes the reins of the magazine. The First Lady is in Rome for a cover shoot, and all hands are on deck to make sure her visit goes smoothly. Bec quickly realizes that Parker's "accident" may not have been quite so accidental, and when the First Lady's life is threatened, Bec is determined to uncover the truth. On top of that, Bec must contend with bitchy models, her new boss, Candace, who is just as difficult as the tabloids say, and two guys, a hunky Italian bike messenger with a thousand-watt smile and a fashion blogger with a razor-sharp wit, who are both vying for her heart. Can Bec catch the person who's after the First Lady, solve the mystery of Parker's accident, and juggle two cute boys at the same time? Blonde Ops is a fun, action-packed romp through the hallways of a fashion magazine and the cobblestone streets of Rome.

Where Beauty Lies Elle and Blair Fowler

Available for the first time in trade paperback comes the dazzling sequel to Beneath the Glitter from internet sensations Elle and Blair Fowler.

Step behind the velvet ropes of Fashion Week and enter an exclusive world of opulent parties, hot guys, designer style…and new lies. In Hollywood, there’s no such thing as bad press, especially when you’re Sophia and Ava London. Despite their very public scandal, the London sisters are hotter than ever. Sophia’s finally in the perfect relationship with the perfect guy…even if can’t she get the memory of Giovanni out of her head. And Ava’s taking a break from dating to focus on her career—while a new love interest is trying to disrupt her carefully laid plans. Best of all, Sophia and Ava have just been given a chance to create their own fashion line for New York Fashion Week. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity… but only if their ruthless rivals don’t destroy them first. The same unseen enemies who tried to ruin them back in L.A. are in New York to finish the job. And a new competitor is hiding in the shadows of the runway, waiting for a chance to steal everything Sophia and Ava have worked so hard for. In the cutthroat world of high fashion, it’s impossible to know who your real friends are. At least Sophia and Ava can count on each other—but will it be enough to keep them from losing it all?
