PREMIUM
The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea
When considering for purchase, note that descriptions of whippings and torture may distress some readers; this is a dark and creative story, laced with romance, and not for the faint of heart.
PREMIUM
Sunshield
Part futuristic Western, part mystery, part fantasy, this first in a duology has hooks for readers among several genres. Consider for larger collections.
PREMIUM
The Scapegracers
Dark and brooding, with a literary style and a hearty dose of witchcraft. Suggest to fans of Maggie Stiefvater, Melina Marchetta, and Holly Black.
PREMIUM
Mermaid Moon
Suggest this to thoughtful readers looking for strong females, unexpected twists, and a relatively happy ending. A good fit for fans of Margo Lanagan’s The Brides of Rollrock Island.
PREMIUM
There Will Come a Darkness
Teens looking for epic fantasy can immerse themselves in Pool’s world, where the Witnesses have developed deadly Godfire, the Pale Hand is stalking, and the Age of Darkness appears just over the horizon.
PREMIUM
The Hive
A gripping immersion in social media gone wrong. Buy Marie Lu’s Warcross and Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One first, and consider this if there is money remaining in the budget
PREMIUM
A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World
For high school libraries seeking independent teen heroes in dystopian settings.
PREMIUM
Dear Evan Hansen
Evan's angst-ridden, often wry narrative is spot on for older teens, and explores the ideas of finding your community and contributing to it. Consider for high school libraries, especially where there is interest in the musical. Connor's ability to communicate and observe after death is counter to the reality of suicide, and may warrant a heads-up to school counselors.
PREMIUM
The Deceivers
A middle-of-the-pack choice, heavy on romantic tension and descriptions that demonstrate money doesn't buy happiness. Consider where budget is available.
