Never After: The Stolen Slippers
Though lacking the intensity of Adam Gidwitz’s A Tale Dark and Grimm and its sequels, this could satisfy the fractured fairy tale itch for many.
The Thirteenth Fairy
This series debut has something for most readers—a complex female heroine, middle school angst, plenty of action, and magic—which will leave them eagerly turning the pages
PREMIUM
Jo & Laurie
A recommended purchase for public libraries, especially where classics are popular.
PREMIUM
Gotham High
While some readers will enjoy this tale, others may find it shallow. Recommended for casual comics readers and fans of teen melodrama.
29 Dates
This novel will please teens looking for a light read. Give to fans of Sandhya Menon's When Dimple Met Rishi and Jenny Han's books.
Someone To Love
Paired with resources on how to get help with eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, this book is a welcome addition to any library that services teens.
Alex & Eliza: A Love Story
Fans of the musical will be excited to see this novel, even though it plays fast and loose with the facts. Purchase only where Hamilton frenzy is still strong.
Something in Between
Jasmine's tale feels too good to be true, but this possible shortcoming is offset by the timeliness and importance of the immigration issues raised and explained. This book belongs in every middle school library.
