Teased by Tantalize? And possessed by Eternal? Then prepare
yourself to be Blessed in Cynthia Leitich-Smith's latest dark
fantasy. Morris, teen restaurateur and neophyte vampire, is in the
fight of her life. Even as she adjusts to her new appetites, she
must clear her best friend and true love, the hybrid-werewolf, of
murder charges; thwart the ambitions of Bradley Sanguini, the
seductive vampire-chef who 'blessed' her; and, keep her dead
parents' restaurant up and running. She hires a more homespun chef
and adds the preternaturally beautiful Zachary to her waiting
staff. But with hundreds of new vampires on the rise and Bradley
off assuming the powers of Dracula Prime, Zachary soon reveals his
true nature - and a flaming sword - and they hit the road to
staunch the bloodshed before it's too late. Even if they save the
world, will there be time left to salvage Quincie's soul? This is
the latest dark fantasy from "New York Times" best-selling author
Cynthia Leitich Smith. Fans of the first two books will be eager
for this one. Characters from both "Tantalize and Eternal" appear
in "Blessed", and the two storylines intersect and build to a
thrilling conclusion. Vampires, shapeshifters, angels, doomed
romance, restaurant culture, and a road trip - all with a strong
tie-in to Bram Stoker's Dracula that will please liberal-minded
teachers. Praise for "Eternal": "Stephenle Meyer, honey, watch out.
fans, you are gonna LOVE "Eternal"." ("Dallas Morning News").
"Great book, fans will love". ("Kiss magazine").

What do Indian shoes look like, anyway? Like beautiful beaded moccasins...or hightops with bright orange shoelaces? Ray Halfmoon prefers hightops, but he gladly trades them for a nice pair of moccasins for his Grampa. After all, it's Grampa Halfmoon who's always there to help Ray get in and out of scrapes -- like the time they are forced to get creative after a homemade haircut makes Ray's head look like a lawn-mowing accident. This collection of interrelated stories is heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny. Cynthia Leitich Smith writes with wit and candor about what it's like to grow up as a Seminole-Cherokee boy who is just as happy pounding the pavement in windy Chicago as rowing on a take in rural Oklahoma.
When Louise Wolfe's first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It's her senior year, anyway, and she'd rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper's staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director's inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students -- especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou's little brother, who's playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey -- but as she's learned, "dating while Native" can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joey's?
Illustrated by hot new talent Ming Doyle, Cynthia Leitich Smith's
TANTALIZE is reimagined as a graphic novel-- seen through Kieren's
werewolf eyes.
As a hybrid werewolf, Kieren is destined to join an urban Wolf pack
and learn to master his shift. Soon, he'll leave everything behind:
home, school, his family, and Quincie, his human best friend . . .
who's beginning to be a whole lot more than a friend. For years,
Kieren has managed to keep his desires-- and his wolf-- at bay. But
when the chef at Quincie's family restaurant is brutally murdered,
Kieren resolves to be there for her, even if it means being framed.
Even if it means watching Quincie's beloved restaurant morph into a
vampire lair. But when the new chef begins wooing her, how long can
Kieren control his claws? How long can he protect Quincie-- and
himself? In an elegant graphic edition featuring cinematic
sequential art by debut artist Ming Doyle and lush, romantic cover
art by Sam Weber, bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith
re-envisions her delicious dark fantasy through wolfish eyes.

In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most
recognizable YA writers-including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and
Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revis-come together to share the
viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting. It
took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car,
march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire,
killing six and injuring five others. But this isn't a story about
the shooting itself. This isn't about recounting that one
unforgettable day. This is about one boy, who had friends, enjoyed
reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in
trouble before-became a monster capable of entering his school with
a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates. Each chapter is
told from a different victim's viewpoint, giving insight into who
Kirby was and who he'd become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some
are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night
parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectives-with one
character and one event drawing them all together-by some of YA's
most recognizable names.
