Find out about our favorite forthcoming teen titles!
Infinity: At fourteen, Nick Gautier thinks he knows everything about the world around him. Streetwise, tough and savvy, his quick sarcasm is the stuff of legends. Until the night when his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior who has more fighting skills than Chuck Norris, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity.
Glimmerglass: When Dana's mother, an alcoholic, shows up at her voice recital drunk, Dana decides she’s had it with playing the role of her mother’s keeper, so she packs her bags and heads to stay with her mysterious father in Avalon: the only place on Earth where the regular, everyday world and the magical world of Faerie intersect. Dana is a Faeriewalker, a rare individual who can travel between both worlds. When she arrives in Avalon, Dana finds herself a pawn in the game of magical politics. How can she change the winds of fate, find a boyfriend, and make new friends when she’s not sure who, if anyone, can be trusted?
The Time Pirate: A thrilling sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller Nick of Time, in which the young time traveler Nick McIver must prove his courage once more, on two fronts: in World War II-era England, where Nazis have invaded his homeland, and in America during the Revolution, where Nick stands shoulder to shoulder with General George Washington.
Burned: With Burned, award-winning authors PC and Kristin Cast take us deeper into the dark, sexy world of Zoey Redbird, Stevie Rae, Aphrodite, and the rest of the gang as they deal with a powerful fallen angel, hateful frenemies, and jealous boyfriends, as well as the most dangerous threat to the House of Night—and the world—yet.
13 to Life: “This book was a work of art and a true masterpiece! I absolutely loved it! The way Delany constructs the characters and formulates the events made me unable to put the book down. I’m absolutely dying for the sequel.”—Erin C., Bethesda Library, age 12
My Ultimate Sister Disaster: Franny's life drastically changes when her ballerina sister Zooey breaks her leg and her dancing dreams come to grinding halt. Unable to practice and waylaid at home whining, Zooey begins to hone in on Franny's "normal" life and friends. Franny feels bad that Zooey's ballet posse is filled with back-stabbers and that Zooey's self-esteem is ravaged by her injury, but when Zooey's admiration of Franny's life starts to extend to her long-time crush, Franny begins to wonder if the sister she's always admired might just be her worst competition.
Born Under a Million Shadows: In his short life, eleven-year-old Fawad has known more grief than most: his father and brother have been killed, his sister has been abducted, and Fawad and his mother, Mariya, must rely on the charity of parsimonious relatives to eke out a hand-to-mouth existence.
A big-hearted novel infused with crackling wit, Andrea Busfield’s brilliant debut captures the hope and humanity of the Afghan people and the foreigners who live among them.
Dark Flame: At the start of this mesmerizing new installment of the "Immortals" series, Ever is helping her friend Haven transition into life as an immortal. But with Haven drunk on her new powers and carelessly putting them all at risk, their friendship becomes more and more strained. At the same time, Ever delves deeper into magick in order to get control over her enemy Roman and free Damen from his power. But when the spell she casts on him backfires, she's bound to her deadliest enemy.
Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic Adaptation: Drawing on the unique historical sites, archives, expertise, and unquestioned authority of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, New York Times bestselling authors Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón have created the first authorized and exhaustive graphic biography of Anne Frank. The graphic biography is complete, covering the lives of Anne’s parents, Edith and Otto; Anne's first years in Frankfurt; the rise of Nazism; the Franks' immigration to Amsterdam; war and occupation; Anne's years in the Secret Annex; betrayal and arrest; her deportation and tragic death in Bergen-Belsen; the survival of Anne's father; and his recovery and publication of her astounding diary.
Infinite Days: Most vampire novels deal with the transformation to undeath and all the horror it brings. But this is a much different breed of vampire novel. Lenah might seem, to her classmates, like any other boarding school student with dreams and aspirations. What they don't know is that she's already fulfilled her loftiest goal: becoming human after centuries of terrorizing Europe as one of it's most feared vampires.
Love books, always have. I buy picture books to read to the kids at my school in San Francisco and the grandchildren backhome all ages for the others. Looking forward to an author signing tomorrow. Hope I get there. Recently the kids in my school each got $5 donated by a private school for boys to buy books.
Sounds amazing – here’s hoping I’m one of the lucky ones.
