Collection: Young Adult

Diego Benevides works hard. His single mother encourages him to stay focused on school, on getting into college, on getting out of their crumbling neighborhood. That's why she gave him her car.

Diego's best friend, Lawson, needs a ride--because Lawson is dealing. As long as Diego's not carrying, not selling, it's cool. It's just weed.

But when Lawson starts carrying powder and pills and worse, their friendship is tested and their lives are threatened. As the lines between dealer and driver blur, everything Diego has worked for is jeopardized, and he faces a deadly reckoning with the choices he and his best friend have made.

Award-winning memoirist and poet Rex Ogle's searing first novel-in-verse is an unforgettable story of the power and price of loyalty.

Iris, Gum, and Aidan are vacationing in Bad Creek, just like every summer. Except Iris's older sister, Glory, drowned in the lake last year, and Iris can't seem to move on; Gum is hiding his sexuality from his family while being viciously haunted by Glory's rotting ghost; and Aidan is distraught over a drunken argument with Glory that he fears may have led to her death. When Iris sleepwalks to the dilapidated house that Glory obsessively sketched in her final days, she and the boys begin to uncover a sinister history in the very bones of the town. The trio must reckon with the events of last summer and uncover what lurks within Bad Creek before it takes Iris's life next.

Gripping and vengeful, Bad Creek confronts the intersection of religion, sexuality, and feminism, and forces readers to reckon with monsters in all their forms--human included.

A homecoming queen and a bad-boy loner team up to break a generational curse in this YA supernatural horror from a talented American Egyptian voice.

Seventeen-year-old Mina is always focused on what comes next: exams, school dances, opportunities for a picnic by the lake. Filling up the future keeps her from lingering over how little she knows about her history or where she comes from. Anytime she asks her father questions about Egypt--or about her mother's mysterious death--he struggles to open up.

When Mina receives an invitation from an aunt she's never met to visit the Haikal mansion, her mother's childhood home in El Agamy, Mina accepts. She can't resist the chance to learn more about her roots or what happened to her mother, even if it means lying to her loves ones for the first time in her life.

But when Mina returns from El Agamy, she doesn't come back alone.

A sinister entity follows Mina from the Haikal mansion to her tiny California town. Mina is forced to abandon her friends, her father, and everything she loves in order to prevent the entity from violently possessing them. Isolated and fighting for her life, Mina must seek help from an unlikely ally: Jesse Talbot, the mortician's hostile son and the only person who proves immune to possession. Jesse would rather floss with barbed wire than team up with social butterfly Mina, but he doesn't exactly have a choice--after all, he's running from family secrets of his own.

As Mina and Jesse dig deeper into Mina's family lore, they uncover a bloody debt that must be satisfied if Mina wants to finish senior year alive.

"I am not the queen they hoped to mold, nor the martyr they wished to bury."

People flinch as she passes. Neighbors avert their eyes. Mothers clutch their children. No one dares touch her. And no one ever has.

Eighteen-year-old Lyra Seravell has spent her life hiding behind leather gloves and Virellia's frozen isolation. But when a royal decree summons one girl from each of the seven regions to compete for the Prince's hand, she's forced into the gilded heart of Valerieth.

She travels to Aurea, a gleaming region with a capital city of gold, but as secrets unravel, so does the city's masterful facade.

Among rival girls and watching eyes, trials unfold. The palace is a game board. The girls are the pieces. And Lyra begins to draw too much attention. She's nothing like the others. The King can see it, but so can his son.

Prince Cassian Vaelros is the golden child of Valerieth and everything Lyra was taught to fear. Everything she has grown to hate. But the closer she gets, the more blurred the line of enemy and ally becomes.

As the palace walls close in, and ancient fantasies stir, Lyra must decide what she's willing to sacrifice-her freedom, her heart, or her fire within.

Because some flames were never meant to be contained.

Some were meant to burn.

Seven regions. Seven girls. One crown.

Ernestine is cursed. At least, that is what some whisper about her. Others say she is possessed by the devil.

France 1815; Ernestine Emilie Prondre de Guermantes should have had it all. The French Revolution had ended. Her family not only survived but maintained their chateau and their fortunes as well.

However, she is plagued by a mysterious malady unlike any recorded illness. Occasionally, she loses control of her own body. Her limbs fly of their own accord and obscenities escape her tongue at all sorts of random intervals.

All Ernestine wants is to feel some sense of control over her own body and her own life.

Known for years simply as the mysterious "Mme. Dampierre" in medical journals, this woman was key to the discovery and naming of this curious condition. Her story is extraordinary. Her influence prevails though previously unknown and forgotten.

Inspired by true events, Madamn tells the story of the cursed noblewoman who refused to hide.

The Wicked Witch of the East is thought to be dead, crushed beneath Dorothy's house. As Munchkin Land celebrates its sudden freedom, their joy is shattered by an impossible revelation: the witch is alive, though stricken with amnesia. Stripped of her ruby slippers and her memories, she embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about who she is.

Her journey takes her down the long-forgotten and treacherous Red Brick Road, a path cloaked in danger and mystery. Along the way, she confronts fragments of her past, shadows of her relationships, and the heavy question of whether her "wickedness" is fact or legend. Meanwhile, the Munchkins, haunted by her history, struggle with their own doubts, torn between the desire for justice and the possibility of forgiveness.

Enter Maggie-adorably, exhaustingly, and sarcastically twelve-a modern-day Margaret (a là Judy Blume) whose private diary is her daily outlet for (over)analyzing her "miserable" and "confusing" life. In entries that vary as wildly as her mood swings, Maggie beautifully articulates (and screams from the rooftops) the bitter day-to-day battles of (pre-) adolescence and all the things her parents, teachers, and peers shockingly do not understand. With an introspective and sometimes ingenious mind, she vents about the endless misunderstandings and mishaps she experiences daily at school-and at home with her overwhelmed parents-and the generally terrible unfairness of being twelve.

Obsessively self-reflective and painfully inquisitive, Maggie resembles a young Carrie Bradshaw-without the sophistication and designer shoe collection-as she tries to find the answers in her angst and immerses herself in her own "tweenage" world, convincing herself she doesn't care what her mother thinks, while ultimately realizing just how intrinsically connected and deeply intertwined they are. Through discovering their profound bond, mother and daughter heal and grow up together. With a backdrop of the movies, musicals, beloved characters, and sounds of the author's own adolescence, this heartwarming story will entertain and educate daughters and moms alike.

From New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard comes The Executioners Three, a mystery filled with rivalry, romance, best friends, and a gruesome curse that dates back centuries.

Freddie Gellar didn't mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She'd simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she'd called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying?

Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie's instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there's a murderer at large.

But her investigation is quickly disrupted by the rivalry between her school and the school of the partying teens she got arrested. For over twenty years, the two student bodies have had an ongoing prank war, and Freddie's failed attempt at Good Samaritanism has upped the ante. Worse, the clever--and gorgeous--leader of the rival prank squad has set his sights on Freddie.

As more pranks unfurl, more bodies also start piling up in the forest. But it's the supernatural warning signs around town, each plucked straight from an old forgotten poem called "The Executioners Three," that worry Freddie the most. She knows the poem and its blood curse can't be real, but she's quickly running out of time to prove it.

Because the murderer--or executioners?--knows she's onto them now, and their next target just might be Freddie.

For readers who loved Wishtress, Throne of Glass, and Encanto.

Get swept away in a swoony and magical adventure.

Seventeen-year-old assassin Cottia is desperate to leave behind the work she's been forced into.

Her lord offers freedom in exchange for one last hit. The assignment is to start a war by killing a target during the Giddelian prince's betrothal selection ceremony.

When the prince uncovers her identity, he offers her a new opportunity. Will his invitation grant her freedom from the notorious underlord?

"Fans of no-spice romance with a dash of darker themes will love this book about an assassin changed by the unlikely friendship of a prince who can see beyond a person's past. The banter, the one-horse moments, and the Latin vibes will keep you turning pages late into the night."

- C. F. E. Black, author of The Starlit Prince

She likes quiet. She likes her books. She doesn't like Madeline Hayes.

Brooke Winters likes things quiet. Her books, her routines, her carefully planned academic record. What she doesn't like is Madeline Hayes-arrogant, effortlessly popular, and convinced the rules don't apply to her. So when Brooke is assigned to tutor Madeline in chemistry, she's already counting down the seconds until it's over.

Then comes the school ski trip.

One tutoring arrangement neither of them wanted. One shared room. And one snowboard lesson that turns into something far more complicated than either of them expected.

Madeline has spent her life hiding behind a perfect image. Brooke has spent hers keeping everyone at arm's length. But somewhere between the silence, the sarcasm, and the snow, their walls start to crack. And the last person they ever thought they'd fall for might be the only one who truly sees them.

Heartfelt, slow-burn, and full of sharp banter and longing, First Echo is an enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance about the spark that starts when opposites collide-and the risk of letting someone in.
