Paris, 1889: In this city, no one keeps tabs on secrets better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier, Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. But when the all-powerful society, the Order of Babel, seeks him out for help, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance. To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin will need help from a band of experts. Together, they’ll have to use their wits and knowledge to hunt the artifact through the dark and glittering heart of Paris.

Day’s YA – IN PARIS WITH YOU
Happy Friday, YA pals!
This month’s theme of “books in translation” continues with a sweet French romance…
IN PARIS WITH YOU by Clémentine Beauvais
9781250299161
Ages 14 to 18
Available January 8, 2019 from Wednesday Books
When teenagers Tatiana and Eugene meet during a Paris summer in the suburbs, she is reading Jane Austen in her garden and he is a mysterious (and pompous!) visitor next door. Tatiana is instantly captivated and the pair summer in close proximity without ever fully connecting.
Fast forward ten years. Tatiana and Eugene, living their own very separate lives, run into each other on the Metro. As they slowly reconnect, the two find their roles somewhat reversed. Eugene is now the one overcome with feelings.
Will they be able to put their past behind and start anew?
This fun read was charming and humorous. Beauvais’ verse is incredible. The occasional rhymes are subtle and you may miss them if you’re not paying attention. And the delightfully satisfying ending is authentic without being predictable. This beautiful tale is ideal for anyone who enjoys their rom-coms sweet, but realistic (think ONE DAY meets ELEANOR & PARK meets I SEE LONDON, I SEE FRANCE). readmoreremove

“Chokshi shines as a master storyteller in her newest novel; the setting, world building, plot, and conflict are all staggering. However, the elements that perhaps shine the most are the history, riddles, mysteries, and science, woven together in a world brimming with power and magic.”—Booklist, starred review

Fall 2019:
THE GIRL THE SEA GAVE BACK by Adrienne Young
9781250168481
Available September 3, 2019 from Wednesday Books
Ages 12 to 18
The new gut-wrenching epic from the New York Times bestselling author of SKY IN THE DEEP.
For as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols inked on her skin mark her as one who can see into the future. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse.
“Halvard and Tova’s world is described as brutal and beautiful—their personal struggles with identity, fate, and community shine against the minimalistic plot and slowly building tension.” —Kirkus Reviews
UNSTOPPABLE MOSES by Tyler James Smith will be available in trade paperback on September 10, 2019
THE GRACE YEAR by Kim Liggett
9781250145444
Available October 8, 2019 from Wednesday Books
Ages 14 to 18
No one speaks of the grace year. It’s forbidden.
Girls are told they have the power to lure grown men from their beds, drive women mad with jealousy. They believe their very skin emits a powerful aphrodisiac, the potent essence of youth, of a girl on the edge of womanhood. That’s why they’re banished for their sixteenth year, to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. But not all of them will make it home alive.
“This dark tale, often reminiscent of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, is both disturbing and uplifting . . . This is a novel that will appeal to those who like dark stories with fairy-tale elements; highly recommended as a book group discussion choice.” —School Library Journal
WAYWARD SON by Rainbow Rowell
9781250146076
Available September 24, 2019 from Wednesday Books
Ages 13 to 18
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to CARRY ON by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell.
The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after . . . So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place . . .

Two teens—Naima and Dew—meet after tragedy and learn about love, loss, and letting go. SIX GOODBYES WE NEVER SAID is no love story. If you ask Naima, it’s not even a like story. But it is a story about love and fear and how sometimes you need a little help to be brave enough to say goodbye.
