Humanity has nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but
now an even greater evil lurks. The indigenous people of North
America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow, which
carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population
has lost: the ability to dream. In this dark world, Frenchie and
his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north
to the old lands. For now, survival means staying hidden-but what
they don't know is that one of them holds the secret to defeating
the marrow thieves. "Miigwans is a true hero; in him Dimaline
creates a character of tremendous emotional depth and tenderness,
connecting readers with the complexity and compassion of Indigenous
people. A dystopian world that is all too real and that has much to
say about our own." Kirkus Reviews

From the author of Cog and Voyage of the Dogs, Weird Kid is a
hilarious and heartfelt homage to everyone who feels like they
don't belong. Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Stuart Gibbs.
Jake Wind is trying to stay under the radar. Whose radar? Anyone
who might be too interested in the fact that he has shapeshifting
abilities he can't control. Or that his parents found him as a ball
of goo when he was a baby. Keeping his powers in check is crucial,
though, if he wants to live a normal life and go to middle school
instead of being homeschooled (and if he wants to avoid being
kidnapped and experimented on, of course). Things feel like they're
going his way when he survives his first day of school without
transforming and makes a new friend. But when mysterious sinkholes
start popping up around town-sinkholes filled with the same
extraterrestrial substance as Jake-and his neighbors, classmates,
and even his family start acting a little, well, weird, Jake will
have to learn to use his powers in order to save his town. "The
short page count, humor, and action make this a good choice for
reluctant readers. A solid purchase for school and public
libraries." -School Library Journal

In the small town of Pottsville, boredom comes easily to
mischievous twins Jasmin and Jesse Thomas. One dull Friday night
the twins decide to camp out in their backyard, and sneak out to
the bogs over by Potts Field to find out whether they can hear any
bog monsters. While searching for bog monsters, the twins become
hopelessly lost. Suddenly they hear a loud bang, followed by a
bright ball of light flying just above the treetops and making a
loud whistling sound. Jasmin and Jesse watch as a strange aircraft
crashes into the woods. While searching for survivors of the crash,
the twins encounter an alien visitor, who incessantly repeats
everything they say. Once the twins recover from their shock at
encountering Orfin Kojumbobababul, or Orfin Bob, as they call him,
the adventures begin. From a near-deadly fall in a cave, to
blasting through asteroid fields in a spaceship, and fending off an
attack by the evil Haywardians, the action doesn't stop for a
moment. "Orfin Bob and the Thomas Twins" is a thrill ride right up
to the very last page.
Cia Vale is now seventeen and has everything she ever dreamed of: a
boy she loves, a place at the University and a future as one of the
leaders of the United Commonwealth. The Testing should be nothing
more than a blank space in her mind; an achievement to be
celebrated, and then forgotten. But Cia remembers. As further
evidence of the government's murderous programmes comes to light,
Cia must choose whether to stay silent and protect herself and her
loved ones, or expose The Testing for what it is. Above all, the
University is a dangerous place, and Cia must remember the advice
her father gave her: TRUST NO ONE. Second instalment of this
critically acclaimed futuristic trilogy.
A wise, funny and moving story of what it means to find a family,
from the best-selling author of I, Cosmo. Leonard has never had a
name. Or a body. Or a best friend. But he is excited to try being a
human. On their three-hundredth-birthday, every alien from
Leonard's home galaxy gets to spend a month in the body of an Earth
Creature. Leonard was supposed to become a forest ranger in
Yellowstone National Park - but there was a mix-up. And now he's
stuck as a stray cat. Luckily for Leonard, he meets a young human
called Olive - and together they set out on a journey to find home.

It's graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the
entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating.
All Cia can think about-hope for-is whether she'll be chosen for
The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best
and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the
slowly revitalizing post-war civilization. When Cia is chosen, her
father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of
The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings ("Cia, trust no one"),
she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and
family, perhaps forever ...

From the genius of David Levithan, co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, comes a love story like no other you've read before.
Each morning, A wakes up in a different body. There’s never any warning about who it will be, but A is used to that. Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.
And that’s fine – until A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with – every day . . .
A stunningly original novel that will make you view the world from a different perspective. You can also read Rhiannon's side of the story in Another Day.
Levithan’s powerful novel explores the complexities of first love in a unique way that will captivate anybody who loved Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor & Park and Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun.

Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from
ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the
human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from
extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien
species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's
more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate
the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small,
desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic
alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a
galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use
to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can
wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. Spensa knows that
no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this
predator. Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver
and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she's
able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another
pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. The only
way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind
all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever
return. To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is
terrifying. Praise for Skyward: 'A nonstop, highflying opener'

opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless heroine and a
memorable cast' Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
