Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a
futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds
implanted in their brains.
For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to
the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play with some
stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the
crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to
the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for
days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy
teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent
ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the
footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr.,
M. T. Anderson has created a not-so-brave new world -- and a smart,
savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an
imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.
Edgar, a gifted climber, secretly scales the treacherous walls
separating the three worlds of Atherton: the humble grove that is
his home...a mysterious highland realm of untold beauty and
sinister secrets ...and a vast wasteland below, where a monstrous
danger lurks that could destroy them all.
While searching the forbidden cliffs for a treasure lost in his
faded memory, Edgar discovers the first of many startling
revelations to come: the three realms are beginning to collapse,
turning his entire world inside out. Atherton is not what it seems,
but something far more dangerous, with a history locked inside the
mind of a madman and a future beyond Edgar's wildest imagining.

These unabridged classics of literature have introductions by well-known contemporary children's authors to help young readers see the relevance of each book in the 21st century world.
From the critically acclaimed author of cult teen novel Grasshopper
Jungle, Andrew Smith, comes a startlingly original tale of
friendship and brotherhood, war and humanity, identity and
existence. Ariel, the sole survivor of an attack on his village in
the Middle East is 'rescued' from the horrific madness of war in
his homeland by an American soldier and sent to live with a family
in suburban Virginia. And yet, to Ariel, this new life with a
genetic scientist father and resentful brother, Max, is as
confusing and bizarre as the life he just left. Things get even
weirder when Ariel and Max are sent to an all-boys summer camp in
the forest for tech detox. Intense, funny and fierce friendships
are formed. And all the time the scientific tinkerings of the boys'
father into genetics and our very existence are creeping up on them
in their wooden cabin, second by painful second ... An immersive
read for fans of Michael Grant, John Green, Stephen King, and Sally
Green's Half Bad novels. Andrew Smith has always wanted to be a
writer. After graduating college, he wrote for newspapers and radio
stations, but found it wasn't the kind of writing he'd dreamed
about doing. Born with an impulse to travel, Smith, the son of an
immigrant, bounced around the world and from job to job, before
settling down in Southern California. There, he got his first 'real
job', as a teacher in an alternative educational program for
at-risk teens, married, and moved to a rural mountain location.
Smith has now written several award-winning YA novels including
Winger, Stick, and Grasshopper Jungle. Praise for Grasshopper
Jungle 'Grasshopper Jungle is what would happen if Kurt Vonnegut
wrote a YA book. This raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling sci-fi
novel defies description - it's best to go into it with an open
mind and allow yourself to be first drawn in, then blown away.' -
Rolling Stone 'A cool/passionate, gay/straight, male/female,
absurd/real, funny/moving, past/present, breezy/profound
masterpiece of a book.' - Michael Grant, bestselling author of the
GONE series. 'If you only read one book this year about sexually
confused teens battling 6 foot tall head-chomping praying mantises
in small town America, make it this one.' - Charlie Higson, author
of the bestselling Young Bond series. 'I devoured @marburyjack's
wonderful 'cool/passionate' Grasshopper Jungle'. Sally Green,
author of Half Bad. 'Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith. You must
read immediately. It's an absolute joy. Scary, funny, sexy. Trust
me.' - Jake Shears, lead singer of The Scissor Sisters 'Not for the
faint-hearted. Mutant grasshoppers, rampant lust - a tale of teen
self discovery that grips like a mating mantis.' - Metro

"A heart-pounding adventure."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Orphan. Thief. Witch. A classic fantasy-adventure reminiscent of
Howl's Moving Castle from New York Times-bestselling author Claire
Legrand. Twelve-year-old Quicksilver lives as a thief in the sleepy
town of Willow-on-the-River. Her only companions are her faithful
dog and partner in crime, Fox-and Sly Boots, the shy boy who lets
her live in his attic when it's too cold to sleep on the rooftops.
It's a lonesome life, but Quicksilver is used to being alone. When
you are alone, no one can hurt you. No one can abandon you. Then
one day Quicksilver discovers that she can perform magic. Real
magic. The kind that isn't supposed to exist anymore. Magic is
forbidden, but Quicksilver nevertheless wants to learn more. With
real magic, she could become the greatest thief who ever lived. She
could maybe even find her parents. What she does find, however, is
much more complicated and surprising. . . . Acclaimed author Claire
Legrand's stunning and original novel explores the danger of lies
and the power of truth, the strength found in friendship, and the
value of loving and being loved . . . even if it means risking your
heart. Full of magic, adventure, and an original and compelling
cast of characters, Foxheart will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and
Diana Wynne Jones.
