Young Adult Books
Shelter
"I was walking to school, lost in feeling sorry for myself---my dad was dead, my mom in rehab, my girlfriend missing---when I saw the Bat Lady for the first time." So begins Coben's debut novel for young adults, as he features Mickey Bolitar (from his latest adult novel: Live Wire) in a thriller that "piles mystery on top of mystery before the suspense is almost unbearable." (R. L. Stine)
You Against Me
From the author of acclaimed Before I Die, British writer Downham takes readers into the lives of Mickey and Ellie and the injustice that swirls around them. "It's a book about loyalty and the choices that come with it. But above all it's a book about love." (from the dust jacket)
The Adoration of Jenna Fox
Seventeen-year-old Jenna Fox has just awoken from a year-long coma---so she’s been told---and she is still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. "This is a beautiful blend of science fiction, medical thriller, and teen-relationship novel that melds into a seamless whole that will please fans of all three genres." (School Library Journal)
Never Have I Ever
"Not long ago, I had everything a girl could wish for: amazing friends, an adorable boyfriend, a loving family. But none of them know that I’m gone—that I'm dead. To solve my murder, my long-lost twin sister, Emma, has taken my place. She sleeps in my room, wears my clothes, and calls my parents Mom and Dad." (from the dust jacket) A search for the truth explores a mystery full of danger... and romance.
