In Sasha Dawn’s psychological thriller Blink, Josh suspects that Chatham, a mysterious girl searching for her runaway sister, has something to do with a kidnapping that happened twelve years ago. But will he discover the truth in time? And does he really want to know what the truth is?
NoNieqa Ramos’s debut novel The Disturbed Girl’s Dictionary features dictionary entries from A to Z by Macy Cashmere. Macy is classified as “disturbed” by her school. But she isn’t interested in how others see her. She’s got more pressing problems: a volatile family, Child Protective Services, law enforcement, and a best friend who isn’t telling her something very important. In a starred review, Booklist called Ramos “a voice to watch.”
Kiersi Burkhart’s young adult debut, Honor Code, follows Sam, a new student at the elite Edwards Academy. At first, Sam wants nothing more than to fit in. But when she learns the high cost of entry, will she bury the worst night of her life in order to keep the community “sacred"?
Troublemakers is Catherine Barter’s story of Alena, a girl searching to find her voice and the truth about her mother. When she was three, Alena’s activist mother died. Her half-brother raised her in East London, which is being targeted by a lone bomber. Now she lives with her brother and his boyfriend, who is working for a conservative local politician’s campaign. What sort of trouble is Alena willing to get into to find out the truth about her mother?
