Girl of Nightmares Kendare Blake

“Stephen King ought to start looking over his shoulder.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

It’s been months since the ghost of Anna Korlov opened a door to Hell in her basement and disappeared into it, but ghosthunter Cas Lowood can’t move on. His friends remind him that Anna sacrificed herself so that Cas could live—not walk around half dead. He knows they're right, but in Cas’s eyes, no living girl he meets can compare to the dead girl he fell in love with. Now he’s seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he’s asleep and sometimes in waking nightmares. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears. Cas doesn’t know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into Hell, but he knows she doesn’t deserve whatever is happening to her now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it’s time for him to return the favor.

PRAISE

[H]er talent for creating a truly scary story laced with laughoutloud humor makes this series a rare treat.” —School Library Journal “Kendare Blake delights with her sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood. Blake’s writing is literary while visceral... The setting is dark and desperate and the side characters fully mapped out. I’m absolutely in love with this world.” —San Francisco Book Review

Copper Magic Julia Mary Gibson

An impressive debut novel inspired by an incident from the author’s own childhood: “When I was eleven, my father, my two best friends, and I found scattered human bones in a Michigan sand dune.”

The year is 1906, and twelveyearold Violet Blake unearths an ancient talisman—a copper hand—beside the stream where her mother used to harvest medicine. Violet’s touch warms the copper hand and it begins to reveal glimpses of another time. Violet is certain that the copper hand is magic—and if anyone is in need of its powers, it’s Violet. Her mother and adored baby brother are gone, perhaps never to return. Her heartbroken father can’t seem to sustain the failing farm on the outskirts of Pigeon Harbor, on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Surely the magic of the copper hand can make things right for Violet and restore her fractured family. Violet makes a wish. But her ignorant carelessness unleashes formidable powers—and her attempts to control them jeopardizes not only herself, but the entire town of Pigeon Harbor.

In Copper Magic, land and waters are alive with memories, intentions, and impulses. Magic alters Violet and brings her gifts—but not always the kind she thinks she needs. Firsttime author Julia Mary Gibson brings Violet and her community to life in this impressive and assured debut.

JULIA MARY GIBSON was born the child of radical activist poets in the time of the Freedom Rides and the Vietnam War. She grew up to be a communard, welfare mother, waitress, secretary, visual effects producer, and mentor to unwed teens. She lives in sight of the Hollywood sign in California. Copper Magic is her first novel.

Cartboy Goes to Camp L. A. Campbell

“Will hook Wimpy Kid fans.” —Kirkus Reviews on Cartboy and the Time Capsule

In the tradition of Diary of a Wimpy Kid comes this laughoutloud sequel to Cartboy and the Time Capsule.

Hopelessly hapless Hal Rifkind, a.k.a. Cartboy, is off to summer camp. And not just any old camp, but history camp. Campers have to learn how to churn butter, plant maize, and carry water from the stream—or they get punished for not doing their chores. What else could possibly go wrong for Cartboy? Read Hal’s journal to find out!

Filled with photos, drawings, and timelines, Hal’s journal chronicles his hilarious adventures at Camp Jamestown—where nothing has changed in 400 years.

PRAISE

“Occasional doodles and wellplaced spot photos enhance the quirky humor. Sure, this sadsack path blazed by Jeff Kinney’s Wimpy Kid is familiar ground, but Hal treads it well, and readers will find it easy to spend time with him.” —The Horn Book

“Campbell’s debut is fast and funny and dotted with drawings, labeled pictures, and goofy timelines. Hal’s authentic voice and realistic twelveyearold sense of humor will hook Wimpy Kid fans.” —Kirkus Reviews

L. A. CAMPBELL is the author of Cartboy and the Time Capsule. She lives in New York City with her husband and two children.

Homeland Cory Doctorow

The New York Times bestselling sequel to Little Brother

Just a few years after Little Brother, Marcus's problems are back: California's economy has collapsed, taking his parents and his university tuition with it. M1k3y's political past saves him and lands him a job as webmaster for a muckraking politician who promises reform. Things are rarely this simple—as Marcus discovers when his onetime girlfriend Masha resurfaces. She has emerged from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaksstyle cabledump, full of hard evidence of conscious corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. If Marcus personally leaks it, he’ll cost his employers the election, though he’s surrounded by friends and acquaintances who regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. Nobody—his current girlfriend, his weary parents, his progressiveminded employer, his hacker admirers—knows just how unsure of himself he really is. Meanwhile, hard people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’ve got plenty of experience inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Inflicting it on Marcus…or, worse, on people he loves. Fastmoving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.

PRAISE

“Outstanding…even those outside Doctorow’s traditional reach may find themselves moved by its call to action.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Threaded with geek teen culture, economic problems, election strategy, corporate greed, government conspiracies, and privacy issues, technology nerds will eat this for breakfast with a cup of really good coffee…” —Booklist, starred review “Homeland is as dead serious as Nineteen EightyFour, as potentially important a ‘novel of ideas,’ with a much more engaging central character.” —The Wall Street Journal

Canadianborn CORY DOCTOROW is the author of the New York Times bestselling young adult novel Little Brother. His adult novels and short stories have won him three Locus Awards and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. He has been named one of the Web’s twentyfive “influencers” by Forbes magazine and a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

Thankful to be alive, little does Ven know that the pirate attack—and his subsequent rescue—may not have been an accident. Shadowy figures are hunting for the famed Floating Island, the only source of the mystical Water of Life.

Ender in Exile Orson Scott Card

The New York Times bestselling, direct sequel to the beloved, bestselling science fiction classic Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, a major motion picture event in November 2013

At the close of Ender’s Game, Ender Wiggin knows that he cannot live on Earth. He has become far more than just a boy who won a game: He is the Savior of Earth, a hero, a military genius whose allegiance is sought by every nation of the newly shattered Earth Hegemony.

He is offered the choice of living as a pawn—or he can join the colony ships and go out to settle one of the new worlds won in the war.

Ender chooses the stars. With his sister, Valentine, he takes passage aboard a fast ship to Colony One. The voyage will take two subjective years…and when Ender arrives, he will become governor of the new world. Meanwhile, he is under the command of the ship’s captain: a man with ambitions, a man who finds it unthinkable that he would be ruled by a twelveyearold boy. Admiral Morgan doesn’t understand what Ender Wiggin is. But he will.

The Well of Ascension A Mistborn Novel

Brandon Sanderson

Following on the heels of Sanderson's successful launch into the YA market with the New York Times bestselling Rithmatist comes The Well of Ascension, now repackaged for the teen audience

They did the impossible, deposing the godlike being whose brutal rule had lasted a thousand years. Now Vin, the street urchin who has grown into the most powerful Mistborn in the land, and Elend Venture, the idealistic young nobleman who loves her, must build a healthy new society in the ashes of an empire.

They have barely begun when three separate armies attack. As the siege tightens, an ancient legend seems to offer a glimmer of hope. But even if it really exists, no one knows where to find the Well of Ascension or what manner of power it bestows.

It may just be that killing the Lord Ruler was the easy part. Surviving the aftermath of his fall is going to be the real challenge.
