THE CRAZY HOUSE (#1)
May 2017

Seventeen-year-old Becca Greenfield was snatched from her small hometown. She was thrown into a maximum-security prison and put on Death Row with other kids her age. Until her execution, Becca’s told to fit in and shut her mouth . . . but Becca’s never been very good at either. Her sister Cassie was always the good twin.
There were no charges. There was no trial. There will be no escape. Becca’s only hope is that her twin sister will find her. That perfect little priss Cassie will stop following the rules and start breaking them, before it’s too late. Because her jailers made a mistake that could get them both killed: They took the wrong twin.

THE FALL OF CRAZY HOUSE (#2)
April 2019

Escape is just the beginning… Twin sisters Becca and Cassie barely got out of the Crazy House alive. Now they’re trained, skilled fighters who fear nothing–not even the all-powerful United regime. Together, the sisters hold the key to defeating the despotic government and freeing the people of the former United States. But to win this war, will the girls have to become the very thing they hate?
In this gripping sequel to James Patterson’s YA blockbuster Crazy House, the world is about to get even crazier.

AN ANONYMOUS GIRL
by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
Saint Martin’s Press, January 2019

A young woman is struggling to make ends meet in New York City, so she takes a chance and lies her way into what she thinks will be an easy way to make a quick $500. It’s a psychology study on morality and ethics, and all it takes is two hours of her time and a willingness to answer questions honestly…and anonymously. Though he professor is fascinating, the questions seem odd, and oddly intimate. She leaves with the money in her pocket and a minor obsession with the study and the professor. But as she inserts herself deeper into the professor’s murky world, the requests for her participation become more and more personal, and the stakes grow higher. What started as a white lie now becomes a fun-house of twists and turns that will have her lying to know the truth.

Greer Hendricks spent over two decades as an editor at Simon & Schuster. Sarah Pekkanen is the internationally and USA Today bestselling author of seven previous novels. Together, they’ve wrote “The Wife Between Us”, a New York Times bestseller that hit the list 10 straight weeks and has sold over 300 000 units. Translation rights have been sold in more than 30 foreign countries.

SEARCHING FOR LOTTIE de Susan Ross

Lottie, a talented violinist, disappeared during the Holocaust. Can her grand-niece, Charlie, discover what happened?

SEARCHING FOR LOTTIE
by Susan Ross
Holiday House, February 2019

A long-lost cousin, a mysterious locket, a visit to Nana Rose in Florida, a diary written in German, and a very special violin all lead twelve-year-old Charlie to the truth about her great-aunt Lottie in this intriguing, intergenerational mystery. Charlie, a budding violinist, decides to research the life of her great-aunt and namesake for her middle school ancestry project. Everyone in Charlie’s family believes Great-Aunt Charlotte (called Lottie), a violin prodigy, died at the hands of the Nazis, but the more Charlie uncovers about her long-lost relative, the more muddied Great-Aunt Lottie’s story becomes. Could it be that Lottie somehow survived the war by hiding in Hungary? Could she even still be alive today?
In SEARCHING FOR LOTTIE, Susan Ross has written a highly personal work of historical fiction that is closely inspired by her own family history, exploring the ongoing effects of the Holocaust on families today. Includes a letter from the author describing the research that shaped this story.

Susan Ross is an author and writing teacher from Maine. Her first novel, “Kiki and Jacques”, was a Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year. SEARCHING FOR LOTTIE is her second novel and draws greatly upon her own family’s experiences and the memories of loved ones lost in the Holocaust.
