Ormsbee sings with heart, warmth, and hope. An ALA Rainbow Book
List selection! Born in Paris, Kentucky, and raised on her gram’s
favorite country music, Cline Alden is a girl with big dreams and a
heart full of song. When she finds out about a young musicians’
workshop a few towns over, Cline sweet-talks, saves, and maybe fibs
her way into her first step toward musical stardom. But her big
dreams never prepared her for the butterflies she feels surrounded
by so many other talented kids—especially Sylvie, who gives Cline
the type of butterflies she’s only ever heard about in love
songs. As she learns to make music of her own, Cline begins to
realize how much of herself she’s been holding back. But now,
there’s a new song taking shape in her heart—if only she can
find her voice and sing it. “Empowering, affirming, and sweet as
all get-out.” —Lisa Jenn Bigelow, author of Drum Roll, Please

Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder . . . and contemplating
his own morality. Ten: three little letters, one ordinary number.
No big deal, right? But for Troy Hayes, a 16-year-old suffering
from Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the
number ten dictates his life, forcing him to do everything by its
exacting rhythm. Finally, fed up with the daily humiliation,
loneliness, and physical pain he endures, Troy writes a list of ten
things to do by the tenth anniversary of his diagnosis--culminating
in suicide on the actual day. But the process of working his way
through the list changes Troy's life: he becomes friends with
Khory, a smart, beautiful classmate who has her own troubled
history. Khory unwittingly helps Troy cross off items on his list,
moving him ever closer to his grand finale, even as she shows him
that life may have more possibilities than he imagined. This is a
dark, intense story--with many trigger warnings--but it's also
realistic, hopeful, and deeply authentic.

In this nail-biting sequel to Tehlor Kay Mejia’s critically acclaimed fantasy novel We Set the Dark on Fire, La Voz operative Carmen is forced to choose between the girl she loves and the success of the rebellion she’s devoted her life to. Perfect for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and Anna-Marie McLemore.
Being a part of the resistance group La Voz is an act of devotion and desperation. On the other side of Medio’s border wall, the oppressed class fights for freedom and liberty, sacrificing what little they have to become defenders of the cause.
Carmen Santos is one of La Voz’s best soldiers. She spent years undercover, but now, with her identity exposed and the island on the brink of a civil war, Carmen returns to the only real home she’s ever known: La Voz’s headquarters.
There she must reckon with her beloved leader, who is under the influence of an aggressive new recruit, and with the devastating news that her true love might be the target of an assassination plot. Will Carmen break with her community and save the girl who stole her heart—or fully embrace the ruthless rebel she was always meant to be?
