Look for these titles on the new shelf this fall:
Dodger by Terry Pratchett
"A storm. Rain-lashed city streets. A flash of lightning. A scruffy lad sees a girl leap desperately from a horse-drawn carriage, in a vain attempt to escape her captors. Can the lad stand by and let her be caught again? Of course not, because he's ...Dodger."
Go to Goodreads Page. A new look at an old character. This should fit in really well with Scarlet and Bewitching.
The Diviners by Libba Bray
"Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. ...
When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first."
See more at Goodreads. And be prepared to fight me for this one. Libba Bray is always quite awesome, unique, and witty.
The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater
"For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore."
Read a lot more on Goodreads. Maggie Steifvater is the author of The Wolves of Mercy Falls series (Shiver, Linger, Forever.) Her book The Scorpio Races has also been nominated for the Teens' Top Ten list. (You can still vote for 2 whole days here.)
The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
"Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. Climb aboard the Argo II, if you dare. . . . "
Goodreads again. Actually bouncing for this one. Annabeth and Percy are finally going to be reunited! Oh, and, yeah, that war should be interesting too.
Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay
"Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well..."
Final Goodreads link. I have to admit, this one has me intrigued. I would love to know what you think of it, because there is a sequel that I haven't ordered yet. Not sure if we were ready for such an odd retelling...
Look for these new titles in the Teen Zone soon!
