Years after the Switch, life inside the Pod has moved on. A poor Auxiliary class cannot afford the oxygen tax which supplies extra air for running, dancing and sports. The rich Premiums, by contrast, are healthy and strong. Anyone who opposes the regime is labelled a terrorist and ejected from the Pod to die.
Sixteen-year-old Alina is part of the secret resistance, but when a mission goes wrong she is forced to escape from the Pod. With only two days of oxygen in her tank, she too faces the terrifying
prospect of death by suffocation. Her only hope is to find the mythical Grove, a small enclave of trees protected by a hardcore band of rebels. Does it even exist, and if so, what or who are they
protecting the trees from?
A dystopian thriller about courage and freedom, with a love story at its heart.
"Perfect for fans of Outlander... A lush story of star crossed
lovers and time traveling assassins." --Laura Sebastian, New York
Times bestselling author of Ash Princess Fate brought them
together. Time will tear them apart. When a mysterious Scotsman
suddenly appears in the middle of the road, Klara thinks the
biggest problem is whether she hit him with her car. But, as
impossible as it sounds, Callum has stepped out of another time,
and it's just the beginning of a deadly adventure. Klara will soon
learn that she is the last Pillar of Time--an anchor point in the
timeline of the world and a hiding place for a rogue goddess's
magic. Callum believes he's fated to protect her at all costs after
being unable to protect the previous Pillar, his best friend,
Thomas. A dark force is hunting the Pillars to claim the power of
the goddess--and Klara and Callum are the only two people standing
in the way. Thrown together by fate, the two have to learn to trust
each other and work together...but they'll need to protect their
hearts from one another if they're going to survive.
When twelve-year-old, UFO-obsessed, Lucy Sladan sneaks out in the
middle of a thunderstorm to investigate the unexplained
disappearances in her hometown of Sticky Pines, she finds more than
she bargained for: a huge hairy creature, a thirteen-year-old
stranger named Milo Fisher and a deep-rooted secret. Together, Lucy
and Milo become entwined in a mystery that threatens to engulf the
whole town of Sticky Pines and its weird and wonderful residents.
Sticky Pines: The Bigwoof Conspiracy is the debut novel for
children by the talented Dashe Roberts.
Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up
on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his
girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're
all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad
kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea--except that
everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and
her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her
boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange
creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo
are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going
on?
Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is
filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School
hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking
girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about,
and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates
insist they are all--including Leo--related to a god.
"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're a
fan of John Green, Michael Grant, Stephen King or Sally Green's
Half Bad, get your pincers stuck into this. In the small town of
Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend Robby have accidentally
unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry,
six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things.
This is the truth. This is history. It's the end of the world. And
nobody knows anything about it. Funny, intense, complex and brave,
Grasshopper Jungle is a groundbreaking, genre-bending,
coming-of-age stunner. Look out for Andrew's latest exciting novel
The Alex Crow. Praise for Grasshopper Jungle: "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). 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.
Sophie has the great misfortune of being the eldest of three
daughters, destined to fail miserably should she ever leave home to
seek her fate. But when she unwittingly attracts the ire of the
Witch of the Waste, Sophie finds herself under a horrid spell that
transforms her into an old lady. Her only chance at breaking it
lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Howl's
castle. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must handle the
heartless Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the
Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, she discovers that
there's far more to Howl--and herself--than first meets the
eye.
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother
Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a
midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most
disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I
just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit
down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by
the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time.
To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss
L'Engle's unusual book. "A Wrinkle in Time," winner of the Newbery
Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of
Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one
of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of
Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret
work for the government on the tesseract problem.
