When her brother Luke disappeared one year ago, Ellie thought it was
the worst thing that could ever happen to her.
Now Ellie knows better. Because Luke is dead. And all she feels is numb.
But when she receives some of Luke’s things in the mail from an address
in Michigan, she decides she has to know where her brother went when he
disappeared. And she’s not the only one who wants answers. She soon
finds herself roped into a cross-country road trip with Luke’s best
friend Wes, Luke’s ex-girlfriend Gwen, and Cade, the boy she almost
kissed the night Luke ran away.
As they all get closer, Ellie realizes that she might not have known
Luke as well as she thought. Was he her loving, golden-boy brother, or
did he have secrets of his own?

S. Pacat, heroes and villains of a long-forgotten war are reborn
and begin to draw new battle lines. This epic fantasy with
high-stakes romance will sit perfectly on shelves next to beloved
fantasy novels like the Infernal Devices series, the Shadow and
Bone trilogy, and the Red Queen series. Sixteen-year-old dock boy
Will is on the run, pursued by the men who killed his mother. Then
an old servant tells him of his destiny to fight beside the
Stewards, who have sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever
returns. Will is thrust into a world of magic, where he starts
training for a vital role in the oncoming battle against the Dark.
As London is threatened and old enmities are awakened, Will must
stand with the last heroes of the Light to prevent the fate that
destroyed their world from returning to destroy his own. Like V.E.
Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic and Shelby Mahurin's Serpent &
Dove, Dark Rise is more than just high intrigue fantasy-it's
fast-paced, action-packed, and completely surprising. Readers will
love exploring the rich setting of nineteenth-century London. This
thrilling story of friendship, deception, loyalty, and betrayal is
sure to find a passionate audience of readers.

Mexican Daughter set in Argentina, about a rising soccer star who
must put everything on the line--even her blooming love story--to
follow her dreams. In Rosario, Argentina, Camila Hassan lives a
double life. At home, she is a careful daughter, living within her
mother's narrow expectations, in her rising-soccer-star brother's
shadow, and under the abusive rule of her short-tempered father. On
the field, she is La Furia, a powerhouse of skill and talent. When
her team qualifies for the South American tournament, Camila gets
the chance to see just how far those talents can take her. In her
wildest dreams, she'd get an athletic scholarship to a North
American university. But the path ahead isn't easy. Her parents
don't know about her passion. They wouldn't allow a girl to play
futbol--and she needs their permission to go any farther. And the
boy she once loved is back in town. Since he left, Diego has become
an international star, playing in Italy for the renowned team
Juventus. Camila doesn't have time to be distracted by her feelings
for him. Things aren't the same as when he left: she has her own
passions and ambitions now, and La Furia cannot be denied. As her
life becomes more complicated, Camila is forced to face her secrets
and make her way in a world with no place for the dreams and
ambition of a girl like her. Filled with authentic details and the
textures of day-to-day life in Argentina, heart-soaring romance,
and breathless action on the pitch, Furia is the story of a girl's
journey to make her life her own.
Welcome to the Carnival Fantástico, a spectacle of magic and mischief,
and the perfect haven for a runaway. Using her tricks and razor-sharp
wit, Esmeralda becomes the carnival's resident fortune-teller, aiming
for the lead role in the Big Top Show. Success would mean freedom from
her former employer, the commander of the King's army.
Ignacio has defected from the army and is on the hunt for evidence of
his father's corruption. But the last thing he expects to find on his
father's trail of lies is the only girl he's ever loved, spinning false
fortunes at a traveling carnival.
Perhaps fortune has thrown them together for a reason. They strike a
deal: she'll help him expose his father if he helps her secure the main
act. But old feelings don't die easily, and the commander's secret
isn't the only thing they'll need to confront.
Stella never meant to fall for the lead singer of the Heartbreakers, but a chance encounter is making her rethink everything – including her own dreams. When I met Oliver Perry, I had no clue he was the lead singer for The Heartbreakers. And he had no idea that I was the only girl in the world who hated his music. Stella will do anything for her sick sister, Cara – even stand in line for autographed Heartbreakers merch…for four hours. She's totally winning best birthday gift this year. At least she met a cute boy with soft brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes while getting her caffeine fix. Too bad she'll never see him again. Except, Stella's life has suddenly turned into a cheesy love song. Because Starbucks Boy is Oliver Perry – lead singer for The Heartbreakers. And even after she calls his music crap, Oliver still gives Stella his phone number. And whispers quotes from her favorite Disney movie in her ear. OMG, what is her life? But how can Stella even think about being with Oliver – dating and laughing and pulling pranks with the band – when her sister could be dying of cancer? From Wattpad hit to globally-adored young adult romance, The Heartbreakers kicks off a delightful tale that perfectly balances humour, heart and romance. Fun, heartfelt and unafraid to tackle deeper issues, this is the binge-worthy YA hit as its known and loved – now in a beautiful new package!
