Una adolescente de Texas se enfrenta al fantasma de su primo y jura desenmascarar al asesino.

Cuando su primo, al que adora, muere, todo apunta a un accidente automovilístico, pero su fantasma le dice lo contrario: lo asesinaron. ¿Quién lo mató y cómo murió? Con la ayuda de su familia, su mejor amigo Jay y la memoria de su tatarabuela en sexto grado, Elatsoe debe rastrear al asesino y desentrañar el misterio de este pueblo espeluznante y su oscuro pasado. ¿Será posible que los siniestros habitantes del pueblo y un misterioso doctor la detengan antes de que pueda empezar? La impresionante novela debut de Darcie Little Badger presenta a una protagonista adolescente asexual y apache --y combina misterio, horror, noir, conocimiento ancestral, ilustraciones inquietantes y elementos de fantasía-- en uno de los libros más comentados de los últimos años.

Royal Summer
The perfect summer romance has arrived! Jenny Han meets The Royal We in this YA romcom about an American girl who finds herself falling for the Prince of England during a whirlwind summer in Scotland. Perfect for fans of Harry and Megan, Will and Kate, and love that breaks all the rules.
Aspiring writer Hannah has scored the opportunity of a lifetime--escaping her sleepy Midwestern town for the summer to intern in Scotland for her favorite author. But her plan to spend the next few months being the best assistant ever is derailed when her idol suddenly decides to abscond to Japan with her boyfriend.
So it almost seems too good to be true when a mysterious stranger--a tall, obnoxiously cute stranger--she meets at the pub one night gets her job at the royal family's castle in Inveresk. It's only when she shows up to her first day of work that she realizes the stranger is Finnian, the prince of England.
Finn is confined at Inveresk as punishment for his party boy antics, and clearly just wants Hannah around for his own amusement. But the more she gets to know him, the more she wonders if this is just a fling or if she's found herself in a star-crossed summer romance that she never could have imagined...

Sold outEncore!: A Graphic Novel
In this queer rom-com graphic novel for fans of Heartstopper and Bloom, two ex-best childhood friends reconnect again in high school only to discover they might be something more than friends. Based on the popular Webtoon of the same name!
Senior year is in full swing, and Clay's determined to have a good year filled with friends, theater dreams, and newfound confidence. But when his ex-best friend, Aron, suddenly reappears in his life--and his theater class--it throws a wrench in all of Clay's plans. Annoyingly, the two are paired up during an improv exercise, and being vulnerable together onstage swirls up all sorts of old, complicated feelings. Even more annoyingly, Aron is acting like there's nothing weird or confusing about being back in each other's orbits again. Which is ironic, since Aron was the one who ghosted Clay in the first place.
As their class assignment continues and they spend more and more time together, Clay isn't sure he can keep his old feelings buried. But can he trust Aron again, after everything they've been through?

Greater Goal: The Epic Battle for Equal Pay in Women's Soccer-And Beyond
YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award Finalist
A CCBC Choice
More than 250 women have played on the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, and most contributed to the battle for equal pay. This narrative nonfiction book by the award-winning author and journalist Elizabeth Rusch traces the evolution of that fight, bringing this important rights issue in sports and in our culture to the attention of young readers. Features extensive backmatter.
With the passage of Title IX in 1972, the doors opened for young women to play sports at a higher level. But for the women on the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, being able to compete at an international level didn't mean fair treatment and fair compensation.
From economy-class airplane seats and inadequate lodging to minimal marketing and slashed wages, the women representing the United States at the Olympics, the World Cup, and other tournaments had reason to be fed up. They were expected to--and did--win, but they weren't compensated for their talent and dedication. With the help of their union and in collaboration with the men's team, they secured an equitable contract in 2022 that ultimately benefited both national teams as well as athletes of the future.
Elizabeth Rusch's A Greater Goal chronicles how members of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team fought to receive fair treatment and equal pay despite the intense pushback they received from U.S. Soccer, the governing body of soccer in the United States. With a narrative that includes player profiles and vignettes framed from team member perspectives, A Greater Goal illuminates the work, support, and grit needed to be treated with equality in a world that often undervalues the contributions of women.
Features extensive back matter, including a call to action, additional resources, and an index.

What Feeds Below
The darkness isn't empty. It's hungry.
At the edge of the City of the Void, a massive chasm extends miles into the earth, its treacherous terrain overrun with vicious monsters and carnivorous plants. For orphaned best friends Petra and Jade, guiding treasure-seeking tourists down into the Void is the only way to earn enough to pull themselves up out of the slums for good.
Petra prefers to play it safe and take jobs only in the Void's upper levels, where the dangers are better understood, while Jade wants to risk a descent to the deepest and most mysterious Sixth Layer. Because the deeper they go, the better the payout, and the sooner their dreams can become reality. Their friendship is Petra's whole world, and Jade's approval means everything--so Petra agrees to do it Jade's way.
When their job goes wrong and Jade is lost in the Void, Petra must plunge deeper than she's ever dared to save her friend. But she doesn't know the truth of the Void . . . or what really waits for her in its depths.

"This might just be my favorite summer yet at Willow Creek. Lottie doesn't know it, but I'm determined to make it her favorite too."
Seventeen-year-old Lottie Turner was born to ride bulls.
Rodeos, big dreams, dusty boots--bull-riding was her whole life. Until the accident. Until the diagnosis that changed everything: epilepsy. Now her doctor and her family have grounded her for good. No bulls. No danger. No freedom.
Then Walker--her former best friend, first crush, and the boy who once knew every piece of her--returns to town for the summer. Walker's supposed to be chasing stars with NASA, not mucking stalls, even if he really does want dirt, sweat, and saddles. He wants Lottie Turner and all of her wildness.
When Lottie makes a summer bucket list to find herself again, Walker's the first to volunteer to do it with her. One item at a time, they tumble back into laughter, heat, and everything they left unsaid.
But as the sparks between them reignite, Lottie has to face the hardest truth of all: some risks can break you, but others are worth taking anyway.

Can a fake relationship land her the prom date of her dreams?
Hayley Lawson has no chance of getting a date to prom. Thanks to a rumor gone wrong, the boys at school are all convinced she's only interested in dating college guys. She certainly isn't holding her breath waiting for someone to ask her to the big dance.
But, when her long-time crush returns to town, Hayley's hopes of landing her dream date suddenly reignite. Owen Beck is everything she's ever wanted in a guy, but after years of waiting, she can't rely on fate alone to bring them together. If she wants to go to prom with him, she's going to have to put her heart on the line and ask him herself. However, her promposal doesn't exactly go to plan, and when Owen's twin swoops in to 'save' her, she ends up in the arms of the wrong brother.
She might still have a chance with Owen though. Ethan knows his brother better than anyone, and he seems to think a bit of good old fashioned jealousy might just get Owen to ask Hayley to the prom himself.
A few weeks faking a relationship shouldn't be too hard. After all, Ethan is nothing compared to Owen. Right?
