Fans of Undead Girl Gang and The Babysitters Coven will love
Breakup from Hell, a witty YA rom-com with a supernatural twist,
starring horror novel obsessed Mica Angeles, who discovers the guy
she fell for comes straight out of one of her beloved books.
Miguela Angeles is tired. Tired of her abuela keeping secrets,
especially about her heritage. Tired of her small Vermont town and
hanging out at the same places with the same friends she's known
forever. So when another boring Sunday trip to church turns into a
run-in with Sam, a mysterious hottie in town on vacation, Mica
seizes the opportunity to get closer to him. It's not long before
she is under Sam's spell and doing things she's never done before,
like winning all her martial arts sparring matches-and lying to her
favorite people. The more time Mica spends with Sam, the more weird
things start to happen, too. Like
terrifying-visions-of-the-world-ending weird. Mica's gut instincts
keep telling her something is off, yet Sam is the most exciting guy
she's ever met. But when Mica discovers his family's roots, she
realizes that instead of being in the typical high school
relationship, she's living in a horror novel. She has to leave Sam,
but will ending their relationship also bring an end to everything
she knows and everyone she loves? Clever, hilarious, and steeped in
supernatural suspense, Breakup from Hell will keep you hooked until
the last page.
From International Latino Book Award-winning author Ann Davila
Cardinal comes a gorgeously written family saga about a Puerto
Rican teenager who finds herself gifted (or cursed?) with a strange
ability. There was always an old woman dying in the back room of
her family's house when Isla was a child... Isla Larsen Sanchez's
life begins to unravel when her father passes away. Instead of
being comforted at home in New Jersey, her mother starts leaving
her in Puerto Rico with her grandmother and great-aunt each summer
like a piece of forgotten luggage. When Isla turns eighteen, her
grandmother, a great storyteller, dies. It is then that Isla
discovers she has a gift passed down through her family's
cuentistas. The tales of dead family storytellers are brought back
to life, replaying themselves over and over in front of her. At
first, Isla is enchanted by this connection to the Sanchez
cuentistas. But when Isla has a vision of an old murder mystery,
she realizes that if she can't solve it to make the loop end, these
seemingly harmless stories could cost Isla her life.
