The sequel to Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children is
here! The Hollow City picks up where the
first book left off. The photos are just
as bizarre as in the first book, so flip through and look at those first.
Engines of the Broken World is a first novel. It promises a strange twist on the usual
post-apocalyptic dystopian world story. Merciful and Gospel Truth have stored
their recently deceased mother under the kitchen table because it is too cold
outside to bury her. Thus begins a story of horror, guilt, sorrow and fear that
promises to be a real page-turner.
Man Made Boy is Jon Skovron’s (Struts & Frets and
Misfit) new novel for teens. Boy is the son of Frankenstein’s Monster and the
Bride (who knew they could reproduce?) In this take on Mary Shelley’s classic
Prometheus story, the family lives under Times Square in New York rather than
in England. Boy ends up running away
with the granddaughters of Jekyll and Hyde and begins a journey towards
understanding what it means to be both a man and a monster. Silly concept, but I am a fan of Skovron, so
I hold high hopes for this one.
Altered by Gennifer Albin is the sequel to Crewel, a 2013 YALSA
top 10 book for teens. If you’ve read Crewel, you will want to pick up this
one, a more typical dystopian story.
Pick up Why We Took the Car by Wolfgang Herrndorf if you
like irreverent humor. Two of the least
popular kids embark on a roadtrip across Germany after being dissed for the
thousandth time by popular classmates. They meet wacky people, get into
trouble, and get hopelessly lost a few times.
All of these books are soon to be on the New YA Fiction shelf,
waiting for you!
