Poor Richard\u2014he knows his cousin\u2019s in trouble before she does. Wild Skink\u2014he\u2019s a ragged, one-eyed ex-governor of Florida, and enough of a renegade to think he can track Malley down. With Richard riding shotgun, the unlikely pair scour the state, undaunted by blinding storms, crazed pigs, flying bullets, and giant gators. <\/p>\n Carl Hiaasen first introduced readers to Skink more than twenty-five years ago in Double Whammy, and he quickly became Hiaasen\u2019s most iconic and beloved character, appearing in six novels to date. Both teens and adults will be thrilled to catch sight of the elusive \u201ccaptain\u201d as he finds hilariously satisfying ways to stop internet predators, turtle-egg poachers, and lowlife litterbugs in their tracks.

She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy\u2019s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy\u2019s future is settled already\u2014a house, a man, children, and a water source\u2014and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach.<\/p>\n When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what\u2019s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn\u2019s mind, and the prospect of a \u201cnormal\u201d life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epic journey west to face new dangers: hunger, mountains, deserts, betrayal, and the perils of a world so vast that Lucy fears she could be lost forever, only to disappear in a handful of dust.<\/p>\n In this companion to Not a Drop to Drink<\/em>, Mindy McGinnis thrillingly combines the heart-swelling hope of a journey, the challenges of establishing your own place in the world, and the gripping physical danger of nature in a futuristic frontier.<\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about In a Handful of Dust?<\/b><\/p>\n The best part of writing DUST was revisiting this world ten years later. Lynn is an adult now, Lucy has become a teen. I got the chance to play with who they had become, how they had grown and changed, and what their relationship is like a decade after their lives in NOT A DROP TO DRINK.<\/i><\/p>\n Purchase In a Handful of Dust at Amazon<\/a><\/b> In a future world of dust and ruin, fourteen-year-old Querry Genn struggles to recover the lost memory that might save the human race.<\/p>\n Querry is a member of Survival Colony Nine, one of the small, roving groups of people who outlived the wars and environmental catastrophes that destroyed the old world. The commander of Survival Colony Nine is his father, Laman Genn, who runs the camp with an iron will. He has to–because heat, dust, and starvation aren’t the only threats in this ruined world.<\/p>\n There are also the Skaldi.<\/p>\n Monsters with the ability to infect and mimic human hosts, the Skaldi appeared on the planet shortly after the wars of destruction. No one knows where they came from or what they are. But if they’re not stopped, it might mean the end of humanity.<\/p>\n Six months ago, Querry had an encounter with the Skaldi–and now he can’t remember anything that happened before then. If he can recall his past, he might be able to find the key to defeat the Skaldi.<\/p>\n If he can’t, he’s their next victim.<\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Survival Colony 9?<\/b><\/p>\n I love the fact that two stories unfold simultaneously in my novel: the big, world-changing story of humanity\u2019s battles against the Skaldi, and the small, intimate story of a teen coming to terms with his past and discovering his place in an extended family. Both of these stories are equally important to the book, and I believe they work together to enrich the reader\u2019s experience: the Skaldi may be demonic, but Querry\u2019s personal demons are just as hard to conquer.<\/p>\n Quick disclaimer before this next paragraph: I am NOT comparing myself to J. R. R. Tolkien! However, The Lord of the Rings was incredibly important to my development as a reader and writer, and one of the things I loved about LOTR when I first read it at age thirteen was how the epic story of the War of the Ring and the small-scale story of Frodo and Sam\u2019s quest so perfectly complemented each other. I\u2019m certain Tolkien\u2019s trilogy influenced my decision to tell a story with a similar, dual focus. Purchase Survival Colony 9 at Amazon<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n Darcy Patel has put college and everything else on hold to publish her teen novel, Afterworlds. Arriving in New York with no apartment or friends she wonders whether she’s made the right decision until she falls in with a crowd of other seasoned and fledgling writers who take her under their wings\u2026 <\/p>\n Told in alternating chapters is Darcy’s novel, a suspenseful thriller about Lizzie, a teen who slips into the ‘Afterworld’ to survive a terrorist attack. But the Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead and as Lizzie drifts between our world and that of the Afterworld, she discovers that many unsolved – and terrifying – stories need to be reconciled. And when a new threat resurfaces, Lizzie learns her special gifts may not be enough to protect those she loves and cares about most.<\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Afterworlds?<\/b><\/p>\n Afterworlds is two interleaved books, really. The odd-numbered chapters tell the story of Darcy Patel, a young writer moving away from home; the even chapters are the entirety of Darcy’s first novel, which she’s rewriting throughout that same year. The most exciting part of writing a dual novel was linking the two narratives, having things spill over from Darcy’s day-today reality into her fiction. All writers steal from reality, so what Darcy experiences in her life always bubbles up in her novel, whether it’s a setting, a realization about true love, or just a new word.<\/p>\n <\/i> Purchase Afterworlds at Amazon<\/a><\/b> The Bourne Identity<\/em> meets Divergent<\/em> in this action-packed debut thriller with a Katniss-esque heroine fighting to regain her memories and stay alive, set against a dystopian hospital background.<\/p>\n Sarah starts a crazy battle for her life within the walls of her hospital-turned-prison when a procedure to eliminate her memory goes awry and she starts to remember snatches of her past. Was she an urban terrorist or vigilante? Has the procedure been her salvation or her destruction?<\/p>\n The answers lie trapped within her mind. To access them, she’ll need the help of the teen computer hacker who’s trying to bring the hospital down for his own reasons, and a pill that’s blocked by an army of mercenary soldiers poised to eliminate her for good. If only she knew why . . .<\/p>\n “This is a snap-the-whip story, dark and fast. The sparks of humor in the voice won me over. Bottom line: I think the cocktail of suspense and believable smart-assery adds up to an addictive dose of reader appeal.” –Blythe Woolston, author of the William C. Morris Award winner The Freak Observer<\/em> <\/p>\n Releases simultaneously in electronic book format (ISBN: 9781606845196).<\/em><\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Tabula Rasa?<\/b><\/p>\n My favorite thing about Tabula Rasa is Sarah! <\/p>\n As things get worse and worse and worse for her — not only does she take a physical beating, but an emotional one too — she manages to find a way to rise to the occasion each time. Sometimes by being clever, sometimes by being vulnerable, and sometimes she does it even when she doesn’t know what to do. She just grits her teeth and gets on with it. The girl’s a fighter in the best possible way.<\/i><\/p>\n Purchase Tabula Rasa at Amazon<\/a><\/b> \n A modern, magical twist on the Gothic romance and girl detective genres, the Lynburn Legacy books will appeal to fans of both Beautiful Creatures<\/em> and the Mortal Instruments series.

Kami will use every tool at her disposal to stop him. Together with Rusty, Angela, and Holly, she uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town.

A choice that will risk not only Kami\u2019s life, but also the lives of those she loves most.<\/p>\n \nPurchase Unmade at Amazon<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n By the author of the acclaimed “Passion Blue,” a “Kirkus Reviews” Best Teen Book of 2012 and “a rare, rewarding, sumptuous exploration of artistic passion,” comes a fascinating companion novel.<\/p>\n Artistically brilliant, Giulia is blessed?or cursed?with a spirit’s gift: she can hear the mysterious singing of the colors as she creates them in the convent workshop of Maestra Humilit?. It’s here that Giulia, forced into the convent against her will, has found unexpected happiness and rekindled her passion to become a painter?an impossible dream for any woman in 15th century Italy.<\/p>\n But when a dying Humilit? bequeaths Giulia her most prized possession?the secret formula for the luminously beautiful paint called Passion blue?Giulia realizes she’s in danger from those who have long coveted the famous color. Faced with the prospect of a life in the convent barred from painting as punishment for keeping Humilit s secret, Giulia is struck by a desperate idea: What if she disguises herself as a boy? Could she make her way to Venice and find work as an artist’s apprentice?<\/p>\n Along with the truth of who she is, Giulia carries more dangerous secrets: the exquisite voices of her paint colors and the formula for Humilit s Passion blue. And Venice, she discovers, with its gilded palazzos and masked balls, has secrets of its own. Trapped in her false identity in this dream-like place where reality and reflection are easily confused, and where art and ambition, love and deception hover like dense fog, can Giulia find her way?<\/p>\n This stunning, compelling novel explores timeless themes of love and illusion, gender and identity as it asks the question: what does it mean to risk everything to pursue your passion?<\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Color Song?<\/b><\/p>\n Without a doubt, being able to set a novel in 15th century Venice. I visited Venice just once, but it made an indelible impression on me (as it has on so many people) and it was wonderful to become a time traveler for a little while, and imagine the glorious city as my heroine, Giulia, would have experienced it.<\/p>\n Researching COLOR SONG was so much fun–there are so many wonderful resources, including an amazing (and huge) map of the city created in 1500, which shows every street, square, canal, and building in Venice, and is so detailed that you can count the windows of the houses and see the wellheads in the squares. It was invaluable in helping me and Giulia find our way around. Giulia’s experiences also reflect my own memories of Venice–from the magnificent yet crumbling palazzos, to the bustle of the Rialto, to the maze of squares and alleyways and canals in which it’s incredibly easy to get completely lost. I’d love to set another book there some day. Purchase Color Song at Amazon<\/a><\/b> When Cate Benson was a kid, her sister, Violet, died. Two hours after the funeral, Cate\u2019s family picked up Violet\u2019s replacement. Like nothing had happened.

The same perfect face. Thanks to advancements in mind-uploading technology, she even has all of the same memories as the girl she replaced.<\/p>\n She also might have murdered the most popular girl in school.<\/p>\n At least, that\u2019s what the paparazzi and the anti-cloning protestors want everyone to think: that clones are violent, unpredictable monsters. Cate is used to hearing all that. She\u2019s used to defending her sister, too. But Violet has vanished, and when Cate sets out to find her, she ends up in the line of fire instead. Because Cate is getting dangerously close to secrets that will rock the foundation of everything she thought was true.<\/p>\n In a thrilling debut, Stefanie Gaither takes readers on a nail-biting ride through a future that looks frighteningly similar to our own time and asks: how far are you willing to go to keep your family together?<\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Falls the Shadow?<\/b><\/p>\n Besides the fact that it’s an actual, real life book that I can now hold in my hands, lol? \ud83d\ude42 Hmm, I’d have to say it’s the relationship between my protagonist, Cate, and her sister’s clone, Violet. These two were so explosive anytime they ended up on the page together, and I loved bringing their complicated history and unconventional bond to life. Purchase Falls the Shadow at Amazon<\/a><\/b> The Breakfast Club<\/em> meets Pretty Little Liars<\/em> in Gretchen McNeil\u2019s witty and suspenseful novel about four disparate girls who join forces to take revenge on high school bullies and create dangerous enemies for themselves in the process.<\/p>\n Bree, Olivia, Kitty, and Margot have nothing in common\u2014at least that\u2019s what they\u2019d like the students and administrators of their elite private school to think. The girls have different goals, different friends, and different lives, but they share one very <\/em>big secret: They\u2019re all members of Don\u2019t Get Mad, a secret society that anonymously takes revenge on the school\u2019s bullies, mean girls, and tyrannical teachers.<\/p>\n When their latest target ends up dead with a blood-soaked \u201cDGM\u201d card in his hands, the girls realize that they\u2019re not as anonymous as they thought\u2014and that someone now wants revenge on them<\/em>. Soon the clues are piling up, the police are closing in . . . and everyone has something to lose.<\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Get Even?<\/b><\/p>\n I think my favorite thing about the book is the mix of comedy and suspense. I was definitely influenced by Heathers, a movie that manages to be menacing and hilarious at the same time, and I worked really hard to gain the right balance between the two. I had so much fun with the humor, especially with some of the secondary characters like Ed the Head and Peanut, and I think it heightens the suspense to have moments of terror juxtaposed against moments of hilarity.<\/p>\n At least, I hope it is! Purchase Get Even at Amazon<\/a><\/b> Michael and his friends must rescue a child prodigy as the thrilling action continues in this electrifying fourth installment of the #1 New York Times bestselling series!<\/p>\n Michael, Taylor, Ostin and the rest of the Electroclan head to China in search of a girl who may have discovered why Michael and his friends became electric.

What’s worse is, she starts to notice that the edges of her consciousness do not feel quite right. And soon, she unearths the ghastly secret that the Forge School is hiding\u2014and what it truly means to dream there.<\/p>\n Author Question: What is your favorite thing about The Vault of Dreamers?<\/b><\/p>\n My favorite thing about The Vault of Dreamers is likely to be its most controversial aspect, too, and that\u2019s the ending. I can\u2019t explain it without spoilers, but I can say that Rosie\u2019s story is really a novel of ideas. The characters are artists at an arts school where creativity is highly prized, and they are urged to take risks and experiment. To be true to that premise, I felt that I needed to take risks, too, and since my art form is the novel, I played with the book itself. I wrote what fascinated me, even when that involved exploring unknown dimensions, and it became intense. So, my favorite thing is the last chapter. It\u2019s the perfect ending for this particular book.<\/i><\/p>\n Purchase The Vault of Dreamers at Amazon<\/a><\/b> During a semester in the wilderness, sixteen-year-old Sib expects the tough outdoor education program and the horrors of dorm life, but friendship drama and an unexpected romance with popular Ben Capaldi?

I couldn\u2019t possibly pick a favorite. Not just one! I really like Faye\u2019s personality. Her tough as nails attitude on the outside, and her caring and nurturing feelings on the inside.

\nI am all for kick-ass, sword wielding heroines, but I wrote LARK RISING in part to celebrate the quiet ones\u2014those whose strengths are not apparent at first look, whose shyness might be dismissed as meaning too meek or weak to make a difference. I am always moved by the silent powers\u2014resolve, the ability to endure, to be resilient. I love that these are Lark\u2019s weapons.
