BREAK TO YOU de Neal Shusterman, Michelle Knowlden et Debra Young

BREAK TO YOU

(via Writers House)

Adriana knows why she is in Compass juvenile detention center: her bad taste in “friends.” If she can manage to keep her head down for the next seven months, she might be able to get through her sentence. Thankfully, she’s allowed to keep her journal, where she writes down her most private thoughts and observations when the pressure insider her is too much.

Until the day she opens her journal and discovers that her thoughts are no longer so private. Someone has read her entries and written back. A boy who lives on the other side of the gender-divided detention center. A boy who sparks a fire in her to write back.

Jon’s story is different from Adriana’s; he’s already been at Compass for years and will be in the system for years to come. Still, when he reads the words Adriana writes to him, it makes him feel like the walls that hold them could just melt away.

Neal Shusterman is the New York Times bestselling and award-winning authors of Challenger Deep, which won the National Book Award; Scythe, a Michael L. Printz Honor title; Game Changer; Dry; Bruiser; and the Unwind series, among many other books.

Michelle Knowlden is a former space shuttle engineer and the author of numerous Shamus Award-nominated stories. She has collaborated with Neal Shusterman on his Unbound and Gleanings anthologies. Her mystery novels include the Abishag quartet and the Deluded Detective series.

Debra Young writes fantasy, science fiction, and horror. She has published stories in The Horror Zine, Dark Fire Fiction, Swords and Sorcery Magazine, and Black Fox Literary Magazine, and is the author of Grave Shadows, a story anthology.

CALL FORTH A FOX de Markelle Grabo

A debut, YA fantasy, this gorgeous fractured fairytale offers a sapphic twist on the Snow White and Rose Red story in which two sisters struggle with the limited choices afforded to them and rebel against a life that is not of their own making.

CALL FORTH A FOX
by Markelle Grabo
Page Street YA, April 2024

Though the western wood is rumored to be home to wicked faeries, fifteen-year-old Roisin forages without fear, until the night she saves a red fox from a bear, and that bear turns on her. Ro and her sister survive the attack, but the forest isn’t finished with them yet, for the seemingly ordinary bear is truly a boy who’s been cursed by faeries and forced to partake in a deadly competition.

And the red fox is actually a girl—the same girl from the village who Ro has fallen for.

Between the bear and the fox only one is meant to survive, but Ro and her sister are determined to break the curse before tragedy strikes, and their fight forever alters their ties to the western wood and to each other.

Markelle Grabo is a debut author. She lives in Riverside, California.

THE ROSEWOOD HUNT de Mackenzie Reed

Irresistible intrigue, captivating suspense, a swoony friends-to-rivals-to-lovers romance, and heartbreaking betrayal drive this thrilling debut novel that is perfect for fans of The Inheritance Games and Knives Out.

THE ROSEWOOD HUNT
by Mackenzie Reed
HarperTeen, October 2023
(via Dystel, Goderich & Bourret)

Lily Rosewood dreams of taking over her family’s company one day. Her grandmother, Rosewood Inc.’s current chair, has always encouraged her, and Lily can’t wait for Gram to teach her everything she needs to know to run the business.

But then Gram dies suddenly, and Lily’s world is upended. When it’s revealed that Gram’s quarter of a billion dollar fortune is missing, Lily can’t fathom what her future will hold now.

Even in death, Gram has a few tricks up her couture sleeve. A last letter from her with a cryptic clue sends Lily and three other teens on a treasure hunt that could change their lives forever—if they can survive it. And if they pull it off, they may be rewarded with more than just money. But they’re not the only ones hunting for Gram’s treasure, and soon the hunt becomes more dangerous than they ever could have imagined.

Mackenzie Reed is the author of young adult fiction, including her debut thriller THE ROSEWOOD HUNT. She cultivated her love of storytelling at Nazareth College, where she graduated with a BA in Communication and Media and shifted her focus from songwriting to novel writing. A native and resident of Rochester, New York, she loves going for brainstorming walks when the weather’s behaving and spending time with her family. In the sparse moments she’s not writing or daydreaming about her next book, she’s usually winging her eyeliner and hunting for the best slice of pizza in town.

THE POISONS WE DRINK de Bethany Baptiste

In a country divided between humans and witchers, Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making illegal love potions to support her family.

THE POISONS WE DRINK
by Bethany Baptiste
Sourcebooks Fire, April 2024
(via Writers House)

Love potions is a dangerous business. Brewing has painful, debilitating side effects, and getting caught means death or a prison sentence. But what Venus is most afraid of is the dark, sentient magic within her.

Then an enemy’s iron bullet kills her mother, Venus’s life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister Janus safe is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher, the ruthless head of her coven, offers Venus the chance to punish her mother’s killer, she has to pay a steep price for revenge. The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave D.C.’s most influential politicians. As Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city, the line between magic and power blurs, and it’s hard to tell who to trust. . . Herself included.

THE POISONS WE DRINK is a potent YA debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice, sisterhood is unbreakable, and self-love is life and death.

Bethany Baptiste is an inner-city educator by day and a young adult SFF novelist by night. If she’s not writing a lesson plan or a story, she does retail therapy in Florida bookstores and takes scheduled naps with her three chaotic evil dogs.
