The 5th Wave
By Rick Yancey

Lizard Radio
by Pat Schmatz


"Fifteen-year-old Kivali has had a rough time in a gender-rigid culture.  Abandoned as a baby and raised by Sheila, an ardent nonconformist, Kivali has always been surrounded by uncertainty.  Where did she come from?  Is it true what Sheila says, that she was deposited on Earth by the mysterious saurians?  What are you? people ask, and Kivali isn't sure.  Boy/girl?  Human/lizard?  Both/neither?  Now she's in CropCamp, with all of its schedules and regs, and the first real friends she's ever had.  Strange occurrences and complicated relationships raise questions Kivali has never before had to consider.  But she has a gift--the power to enter a trancelike state to harness the 'knowings' inside her.  She has Lizard Radio.  Will it be enough to save her?" -from the publisher



What We Saw 
by Aaron Hartzler

"Critically acclaimed memoirist Aaron Hartzler, author of Rapture Practice, takes an unflinching look at what happens to a small town when some of its residents commit a terrible crime.  This honest, authentic debut novel--inspired by the Steubenville rape case--will resonate with readers who've ever walked that razor-thin line between guilt and innocence that so often gets blurred, one hundred and forty characters at a time." -from the publisher






The SEA is Ours: Tales from Steampunk Southeast Asia edited by Jaymee Goh & Joyce Chng

"Steampunk takes on Southeast Asia in this anthology, infused with the spirits of its diverse peoples, legends, and geography.  Delving into local alternate histories, we will introduce you to a dynamic steampunk world quite different from the one you may be familiar with." -from the publisher

New ebooks!

 "Fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell, and Sharon Flake will find much love in [Don't Fail Me Now]" -School Library Journal



"Interracial half-siblings come together for the first time and embark on a cross-country road trip to confront their absentee father before he dies." -From the Publisher






"Original and sobering, Adelina is an antihero of nigh-unremitting darkness: an unusual young woman in the mold and such archetypes as Lucifer, Macbeth, and Darth Vader." -Kirkus Reviews 




  • "Adelina Amouteru's heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her. But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?" -From the Publisher

New in the Paperback Section!

The library has some new books in the paperback section of the library.  Stop by before the long weekend to check out something to read!




Stand Off by Andrew Smith
(Sequel to Winger)

"Smith has created a consistently interesting character whose singular sense of humor grows on readers.  Plus, he nails the rough-and-tumble sport of rugby.  This sequel won't disappoint fans." -Booklist








Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story by David Levithan

(A Companion book to Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan)


"Tiny will have readers falling out of their chairs laughing." -Kirkus








Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen

"Saint Anything is a poignant, honest story about how we might suffer the misfortune of someone else's bad choices, how people who love us can become family when we desperately need it, and how starting over might - miraculously - mean taking a solid leap forward.  Is there anyone who can write about what matters most to teens as well as Dessen can?  I sincerely doubt it." -Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling novelist of Leaving Time and My Sister's Keeper








Nimona by Noelle Stevenson


"Nimona...is beautifully flawed and refreshingly unstereotypical in a book that is both darkly witty and surprisingly touching.  And Nimona is a protagonist to both love and fear." -The Horn Book
