ASHES It could happen tomorrow . . .
An electromagnetic pulse flashes across the sky, destroying every electronic device,
wiping out every computerized system, and killing billions.
Alex hiked into the woods to say good-bye to her dead parents and her personal
demons. Now desperate to find out what happened after the pulse crushes her to the
ground, Alex meets up with Tom—a young soldier—and Ellie, a girl whose
grandfather was killed by the EMP.
For this improvised family and the others who are spared, it’s now a question of who
can be trusted and who is no longer human.
DON’T TURN AROUND
Sixteen-year-old Noa has been a victim of the system ever since her parents died. Now
living off the grid and trusting no one, she uses her hacking skills to stay anonymous and
alone. But when she wakes up on a table in a warehouse with an IV in her arm and no
memory of how she got there, Noa starts to wish she had someone on her side.
Enter Peter Gregory. A rich kid and the leader of a hacker alliance, Peter needs people
with Noa’s talents on his team. Especially after a shady corporation threatens his life in no
uncertain terms. But what Noa and Peter don’t realize is that Noa holds the key to a
terrible secret, and there are those who’d stop at nothing to silence her for good.
EVERY DAY
Every day a different body. Every day a different life.
Every day in love with the same girl.
There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace
with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid
being noticed. Do not interfere.
It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s
girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no
longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day
out, day after day.
EVERYBODY SEES
THE ANTS
Lucky Linderman didn't ask for his life. He didn't ask his grandfather not to come
home from the Vietnam War. He didn't ask for a father who never got over it. He didn't
ask for a mother who keeps pretending their dysfunctional family is fine. And he didn't
ask to be the target of Nader McMillan's relentless bullying, which has finally gone too
far.
But Lucky has a secret—one that helps him wade through the mundane torture of his
life. In his dreams, Lucky escapes to the war-ridden jungles of Laos—the prison his
grandfather couldn't escape—where Lucky can be a real man, an adventurer, and a hero.
It's dangerous and wild, and it's a place where his life just might be worth living. But
how long can Lucky keep hiding in his dreams before reality forces its way inside?
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

names her Granada. Troubled by his wife’s disturbing mental state and concerned
about a mysterious plague that is sweeping through the plantation’s slave quarters,

THE LATTE REBELLION
Hoping to raise money for a post-graduation trip to London, Asha Jamison and her best friend
Carey decide to sell T-shirts promoting the Latte Rebellion, a club that raises awareness of mixed-
race students.
But seemingly overnight, their "cause" goes viral and the T-shirts become a nationwide social
movement. As new chapters spring up from coast to coast, Asha realizes that her simple marketing
plan has taken on a life of its own—and it's starting to ruin hers. Asha's once-stellar grades begin to
slip, threatening her Ivy League dreams, while her friendship with Carey hangs by a thread. And

OUTCASTS UNITED
The extraordinary tale of a refugee youth soccer team and the transformation of a small American town
Clarkston, Georgia, was a typical Southern town until it was designated a refugee settlement center in the 1990s,
becoming the first American home for scores of families in flight from the world’s war zones—from Liberia and
Sudan to Iraq and Afghanistan. Suddenly Clarkston’s streets were filled with women wearing the hijab, the smells of
cumin and curry, and kids of all colors playing soccer in any open space they could find. The town also became home
to Luma Mufleh, an American-educated Jordanian woman who founded a youth soccer team to unify Clarkston’s
refugee children and keep them off the streets. These kids named themselves the Fugees.
Set against the backdrop of an American town that without its consent had become a vast social experiment, Outcasts
United follows a pivotal season in the life of the Fugees and their charismatic coach. Warren St. John documents the
lives of a diverse group of young people as they miraculously coalesce into a band of brothers, while also drawing a
fascinating portrait of a fading American town struggling to accommodate its new arrivals.
THE PREGNANCY PROJECT
Growing up, Gaby Rodriguez was often told she would end up a teen mom. After all,
her mother and her older sisters had gotten pregnant as teenagers; from an outsider’s
perspective, it was practically a family tradition. Gaby had ambitions that didn’t include
teen motherhood. But she wondered: how would she be treated if she “lived down” to
others’ expectations? Would everyone ignore the years she put into being a good
student and see her as just another pregnant teen statistic with no future? These
questions sparked Gaby’s high school senior project: faking her own pregnancy to see
how her family, friends, and community would react. What she learned changed her
life forever—and made international headlines in the process
TEN MILES PAST NORMAL
Janie Gorman wants to be normal. The problem with that: she’s not. She’s smart and creative and a little bit funky.
She’s also an unwilling player in her parents’ modern-hippy, let’s-live-on-a-goat-farm experiment (regretfully,
instigated by a younger, much more enthusiastic Janie). This, to put it simply, is not helping Janie reach that “normal
target.” She has to milk goats every day…and endure her mother’s pseudo celebrity in the homemade-life, crunchy
mom blogosphere. Goodbye the days of frozen lasagna and suburban living, hello crazy long bus ride to high school
and total isolation--and hovering embarrassments of all kinds. The fresh baked bread is good…the threat of
homemade jeans, not so much. It would be nice to go back to that old suburban life…or some grown up, high school
version of it, complete with nice, normal boyfriends who wear crew neck sweaters and like social studies. So, what’s
wrong with normal? Well, kind of everything. She knows that, of course, why else would she learn bass and join Jam
Band, how else would she know to idolize infamous wild-child and high school senior Emma (her best friend Sarah’s
older sister), why else would she get arrested while doing a school project on a local freedom school (jail was not part
of the assignment). And, why else would she kind of be falling in "like" with a boy named Monster—yes, that is his
real name. Janie was going for normal, but she missed her mark by about ten miles.
SERAPHINA
Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the
kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors,
and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's
anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high. Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both
sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is
murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering
with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they
begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her
own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its
discovery could mean her very life.
VIRTUOSITY
Now is not the time for Carmen to fall in love. And Jeremy is hands-down the wrong guy for her to fall
for. He is infuriating, arrogant, and the only person who can stand in the way of Carmen getting the one
thing she wants most: to win the prestigious Guarneri competition. Carmen’s whole life is violin, and
until she met Jeremy, her whole focus was winning. But what if Jeremy isn’t just hot…what if Jeremy is
better?
Carmen knows that kissing Jeremy can’t end well, but she just can't stay away. Nobody else understands
her—and riles her up—like he does. Still, she can’t trust him with her biggest secret: She is so desperate
to win, she takes antianxiety drugs to perform, and what started as an easy fix has become a hungry
addiction. Carmen is sick of not feeling anything on stage and even sicker of always doing what she’s
told, doing what’s expected.
Sometimes being on top just means you have a long way to fall….
STARTERS

twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run, living as squatters with
their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie.

mysterious figure known as the Old Man. He hires teens to rent their bodies to
Enders—seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will
keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in
Callie’s head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter.
Callie soon discovers that her renter intends to do more than party—and that Prime
Destinations’ plans are more evil than she could ever have imagined. . .
THE RAVEN BOYS
“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve," Neeve said. "Either
you're his true love . . . or you killed him."
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past.
Blue herself never sees them-not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks
directly to her. His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby,
the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven
Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. He has it all-family money, good
looks, devoted friends-but he's looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has
encompassed three other Raven Boys:
