Prophecy of the Sisters - Michelle Zink – Little Brown Aug 1 - Recently orphaned, 16-year-old Lia Milthorpe discovers she and her twin sister Alice are part of an ancient prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other. WE SAY: - Witchy good fun!
Shiver - Maggie Stiefvater – Scholastic Aug 1 During winter, Sam lives in the frozen woods as a yellow-eyed wolf. In summer, he lives a few precious months as a human. Soon, Sam and his human true love Grace find themselves risking everything to remain together. WE SAY: Sooooo Romantic, and if you don't cry, you are DEAD inside!
Jumping Off Swings - Jo Knowles – Candlewick Aug 11 Four friends. One pregnancy. Told alternately from each character's point of view, this deeply insightful novel explores the aftershocks of the biggest decision of one girl's life--and the realities of leaving innocence behind. WE SAY: Oh gosh this one is heartbreaking, but beautiful.
Andromeda Klein - Frank Portman – RH Aug 25 The author of "King Dork" introduces Andromeda Klein, a quiet, bookish girl with an unexciting life--until strangely and suddenly, her tarot readings have begun to predict events with bizarrely literal accuracy. WE SAY: A cool dark comedy.
Tricks- Ellen Hopkins – S&S Aug 25 A "New York Times"-bestselling author delivers a new work of verse that tells five moving stories about teen prostitution that interweave to form a powerful and gripping narrative. WE SAY: Well what CAN we say about Ellen's work? One word: CHILLS.
