The Other Side of Lost
by Jessi Kirby
Signed Hardcover plus Swag Giveaway
International
HarperTeen
Released 8/7/2018
Mari Turner’s life is perfect. That is, at least, to her thousands of followers who have helped her become an internet starlet.
But when she breaks down and posts a video confessing she’s been living a lie—that she isn’t the happy, in love, inspirational online personality she’s been trying so hard to portray—it goes viral and she receives a major backlash.
To get away from it all, she makes an impulsive decision: to hike the entire John Muir Trail. Mari and her late cousin Bri were supposed to do it together, to celebrate their shared eighteenth birthday. But that was before Mari got so wrapped up in her online world that she shut anyone out who questioned its worth—like Bri.
With Bri’s boots and trail diary, a heart full of regret, and a group of strangers that she meets along the way, Mari tries to navigate the difficult terrain of the hike. But the true challenge lies within, as she searches for the way back from to the girl she fears may be too lost to find: herself.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about The Other Side of Lost?
My favorite thing about THE OTHER SIDE OF LOST is that it’s such a personal story to me. It didn’t begin this way, but I ended up writing it to honor a dear friend who I lost. She was brave, adventurous, and an all-round light in this world, and she ended up being the inspiration behind the character of Bri. I was also able to weave some of her words into the story through Bri’s letters and posts that are referenced, so for me it was a way to work through the grief of losing her, to honor her memory, and to hopefully pass on the joy and light that she was.

Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Girls Resist!: A Guide to Activism, Leadership, and Starting a Revolution?
My favorite thing about this book is how it takes YA readers very seriously, while also being a whole lot of fun! Grown-ups are always telling kids how to act and what to think. As a parent myself, I spend a lot of time teaching my kid how to respect authority, follow rules, and listen to adults. However, my daughter also needs to know that she can fight back when authority figures are wrong, question rules that are unjust, and demand respect when no one is listening to her. This book is a how-to that gets into the nitty-gritty details of how to organize a campaign, while also explaining organizing concepts of power and oppression and intersectionality, all in a book that is explicitly for girls. It’s not just empowering stories for inspiration. It’s definitely not a manual written by older white guy for a general audience. It’s a book that’s for girls, that takes girl activism really seriously, and lays out the specific tools girls need to lead the resistance. Also, did I mention it’s a lot of fun?

#MurderTrending
by Gretchen McNeil
Hardcover
Freeform
Released 8/7/2018
@doctorfusionbebop: Some 17 y. o. chick named Dee Guerrera was just sent to Alcatraz 2.0 for killing her stepsister. So, how long do you think she’ll last?
@morrisdavis72195: I hope she meets justice! She’ll get what’s coming to her! BWAHAHA!
@EltonJohnForevzz: Me? I think Dee’s innocent. And I hope she can survive.
WELCOME TO THE NEAR FUTURE, where good and honest citizens can enjoy watching the executions of society’s most infamous convicted felons, streaming live on The Postman app from the suburbanized prison island Alcatraz 2.0.
When seventeen-year-old Dee Guerrera wakes up in a haze, lying on the ground of a dimly lit warehouse, she realizes she’s about to be the next victim of the app. Knowing hardened criminals are getting a taste of their own medicine in this place is one thing, but Dee refuses to roll over and die for a heinous crime she didn’t commit. Can Dee and her newly formed posse, the Death Row Breakfast Club, prove she’s innocent before she ends up wrongfully murdered for the world to see? Or will The Postman’s cast of executioners kill them off one by one?
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about #MurderTrending?
My favorite element of #MURDERTRENDING are the thematic serial killers of Alcatraz 2.0, known as the Painiacs. Siblings who recreate sister acts from classic literature; a failed film director who uses famous movie scenes to kill people; a drag fashion model; a cannibal chef; a clown with a fetish for man-eating animals… I cannot tell you how much fun I had with these killers and their exploits! It’s campy and crazy and hilarious (I hope.) Which means it’s 100% me.

Echoes
by Alice Reeds
Paperback
Entangled: Teen
Released 8/7/2018
They wake on a deserted island. Fiona and Miles, high school enemies now stranded together. No memory of how they got there. No plan to follow, no hope to hold on to.
Each step forward reveals the mystery behind the forces that brought them here. And soon, the most chilling discovery: something else is on the island with them.
Something that won’t let them leave alive.
Echoes is a thrilling adventure about confronting the impossible, discovering love in the most unexpected places, and, above all, finding hope in the face of the unknown.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Echoes?
So many YA stories are set in the US, or the UK, so placing part of ECHOES in Berlin, Germany, was a lot of fun and one of my absolute favorite things about it. Usually I’ve only seen Berlin as setting for historical fiction novels, so I thought it was time to make it the stage for a story set in the 21st century. I really enjoyed having the possibility to just go to all these places we encounter in the story, being able to really see what Fiona and Miles would see and keep the descriptions as true to the real thing as possible. I know most people wouldn’t even know or care if it wasn’t accurate, but I just really love this type of attention to detail. Besides Berlin is the perfect city for a mystery thriller like ECHOES. It’s full of crazy things, diversity, creativity, mystery, history, and offers a million different places to discover.

Heretics Anonymous
by Katie Henry
Hardcover
Katherine Tegen Books
Released 8/7/2018
When Michael walks through the doors of Catholic school, things can’t get much worse. His dad has just made the family move again, and Michael needs a friend. When a girl challenges their teacher in class, Michael thinks he might have found one, and a fellow atheist at that. Only this girl, Lucy, isn’t just Catholic . . . she wants to be a priest.
Lucy introduces Michael to other St. Clare’s outcasts, and he officially joins Heretics Anonymous, where he can be an atheist, Lucy can be an outspoken feminist, Avi can be Jewish and gay, Max can wear whatever he wants, and Eden can practice paganism.
Michael encourages the Heretics to go from secret society to rebels intent on exposing the school’s hypocrisies one stunt at a time. But when Michael takes one mission too far—putting the other Heretics at risk—he must decide whether to fight for his own freedom or rely on faith, whatever that means, in God, his friends, or himself.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Heretics Anonymous?
My favorite thing about HERETICS ANONYMOUS is named Lucy Peña. She’s a sixteen-year-old Catholic feminist, aspiring priest, and a rebel mastermind in a red hair ribbon. While Michael is the book’s main character, Lucy is the first friend he makes at St. Clare’s, and I sometimes think of her as the book’s protagonist.
From a larger perspective, Lucy is my small contribution to a two millennia-old tradition of iron-willed, radical teenage girls who defied laws, pissed off countless smug dudes in authority positions, and risked a lot to practice their faith as they were called to it.

Someone I Used to Know
by Patty Blount
Paperback
Sourcebooks Fire
Released 8/7/2018
It’s been two years since the night that changed Ashley’s life. Two years since she was raped by her brother’s teammate. And a year since she sat in a court and watched as he was given a slap on the wrist sentence. But the years have done nothing to stop the pain.
It’s been two years of hell for Derek. His family is totally messed up and he and his sister are barely speaking. He knows he handled it all wrong. Now at college, he has to come to terms with what happened, and the rape culture that he was inadvertently a part of that destroyed his sister’s life.
When it all comes to head at Thanksgiving, Derek and Ashley have to decide if their relationship is able to be saved. And if their family can ever be whole again.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Someone I Used to Know?
I have a sister but always wanted to have a brother – a big brother to protect me and look up to. That’s my favorite part about this novel. Derek is Ashley’s hero. The story isn’t about her assault as much it’s about Derek’s journey to finding a way to step up and be the hero his sister needs now. That’s no small accomplishment. I spent many hours reading accounts written by secondary survivors, the moniker given to people whose family members have survived sexual assault. I also read dozens upon dozens of survivors’ posts back when I was writing Some Boys. Both groups experienced the same emotions- a profound sense of powerlessness at being unable to prevent or stop the assault followed by an equally profound sense of impotence at being unable to heal following the assault.
This was my basis for writing many of Derek’s scenes. He’s a big tough football player, an athlete whose body is in prime physical shape. Yet he can do NOTHING to help his sister – or so he thinks. The truth is, there is a lot Derek can do and it takes him most of the novel to figure it out.

Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Star-Touched Stories?
I’m not sure that I have a favorite because everything is really bittersweet! I will miss these characters so much, but exploring where their journey ends was almost cathartic for me.

The Last Best Story
by Maggie Lehrman
Hardcover
Balzer + Bray
Released 8/7/2018
It’s the end of senior year, and Rose Regnero is over it.
She’s over chasing stories for a school newspaper no one reads. Over missing out on “normal” high school life. And most of all, over Grant Leitch: editor-in-chief, former close friend, never-quite-boyfriend. Now all she wants is a typical prom, complete with handsome date, fancy corsage, and dancing to cheesy pop songs.
It’s the end of senior year, and Grant Leitch is in denial.
He’s in denial about handing over the reins of the paper to an unworthy underclassman. In denial that Rose suddenly, inexplicably quit the paper and now won’t talk to him. But mostly he’s in denial that she is at prom with another guy, and it’s no one’s fault but his own. Grant’s only hope of luring Rose back to him (and the paper) is a juicy story she won’t be able to resist.
In the end it takes a toga-wearing prom crasher, an emergency lockdown, a secret stalker, and a wild after-party to bring Grant and Rose together for one last story…and one final chance to admit that they’re made for each other.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about The Last Best Story?
My favorite thing in the world is romantic banter, smart people using their wits to flirt with one another. Honestly that might have been my motivation to write this book in the first place — I wanted to write banter! Rose and Grant are the type of characters some might call too clever for their own good. They connect first and foremost over words, whether that’s in conversation or in the articles they write for their school newspaper. The banter is the sparkly outer layer of a relationship that has deep roots. I hope readers fall in love with them as they realize they’re in love with each other.

These Rebel Waves
by Sara Raasch
Hardcover
Balzer + Bray
Released 8/7/2018
Adeluna is a soldier. Five years ago, she helped the magic-rich island of Grace Loray overthrow its oppressor, Agrid, a country ruled by religion.
But adjusting to postwar life has not been easy. When an Argridian delegate vanishes during peace talks with Grace Loray’s new Council, Argrid demands brutal justice—but Lu suspects something dangerous is at work.
Devereux is a pirate. As one of the stream raiders who run rampant on Grace Loray, he scavenges the island’s magic plants and sells them on the black market. But after Argrid accuses raiders of the diplomat’s abduction, Vex becomes a target. An expert navigator, he agrees to help Lu find the Argridian—but the truth they uncover could be deadlier than any war.
Benat is a heretic. The crown prince of Argrid, he harbors a secret obsession with Grace Loray’s forbidden magic. When Ben’s father, the king, gives him the shocking task of reversing Argrid’s fear of magic, Ben has to decide if one prince can change a devout country—or if he’s building his own pyre.
As conspiracies arise, Lu, Vex, and Ben will have to decide who they really are . . . and what they are willing to become for peace.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about These Rebel Waves?
I love the themes THESE REBEL WAVES explores — themes of belief, what it means to be loyal to a certain cause, and how that loyalty can change over time. So much of our current reality is steeped in “us versus them” — but what happens when it turns out that your “us” is just as bad as the “them”?
