Mayflyby Jeff Sweat
Hardcover Giveaway
US/Canada
Feiwel & Friends
Released 5/8/2018
Jemma has spent her life scavenging tools and supplies in her tribe's small enclave outside what used to be a big city. Now she’s a teen, and old enough to become a Mama. Making babies is how her people survive―in Jemma’s world, life ends at age seventeen.
Survival has eclipsed love ever since the Parents died of a mysterious plague. But Jemma’s connection to a boy named Apple is stronger than her duty as a Mama. Forced to leave, Jemma and Apple are joined in exile by a mysterious boy who claims to know what is causing them to die. The world is crumbling around them, and their time is running out. Life is short. Can they outlive it?
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Mayfly?
I loved that it let me look at my home, Los Angeles, from the lens of a far-off future. I got to revisit the places I love, like the Hollywood Hills and the Griffith Observatory, and have my characters attempt to decode their meaning.
But the best part was creating a world run by children, seeing what they can do on their own. I look at my kids, who are entering their teens, and I see how hard it is sometimes for them to be in their own skins. What would happen if we asked teens to hold the world together, when their own lives feel so hard? We see the answer not only in this book but in the real world—kids are cleaning up the messes the grown-ups left behind, and they’re doing so with compassion, creativity, and grace.

The Foreseeable Futureby Emily Adrian
Hardcover Giveaway
U.S. Only
Dial Books
Released 5/8/2018
Audrey's life has been planned out for her since she was born, and now she's supposed to attend Whedon College in the fall, where both of her parents work. But Audrey has a different plan in mind: She's not going to attend college at all. She's going to earn some money and move to Seattle, the city she's loved since she was a child. And the best way to earn that money is by working the night shift at the local nursing home.
Seth O'Malley works there, too, and a romance quickly blossoms between them. But things get complicated when Audrey saves the life of Cameron Suzuki, Seth's ex. A video of her performing CPR at the beach goes viral, and suddenly, Audrey's wanted for TV interviews and newspaper articles. And just when Audrey starts to love life at the nursing home--and life with Seth--Seattle comes knocking. Does she follow the path she set out for herself, even when it means leaving behind Seth and the cast of quirky patients she's come to care for? Or does she embrace a future with Seth--at least for the foreseeable future--at the cost of abandoning her dreams?
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about The Foreseeable Future?
I have two! First, I love that the book is about a girl who decides not to go to college immediately after high school, and to pursue a career in nursing instead. I loved writing about Audrey entering the work force for the first time, thrilled by her sudden independence, but also overwhelmed to be the one caring for other people when she’s used to other people taking care of her.
My second favorite thing about THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE is the romance. As with a lot of love stories, it’s not clear whether Audrey and Seth will end up together until the very end, and what I love about their romance is that the only thing standing in their way is…themselves. Logistically, it would be easy for them to choose each other. They live in the same town, neither of them has feelings for anyone else, but they have flaws and insecurities and doubts that might prevent their relationship from working…even though they adore each other.

Boy Bites Bugby Rebecca Petruck
Hardcover
Amulet Books
Released 5/8/2018
Will didn’t plan to eat a stinkbug. But when his friend Darryl called new kid Eloy Herrera a racial slur, Will did it as a diversion. Now Will is Bug Boy, and everyone is cracking up inventing insect meals for him, like French flies and maggot-aroni and fleas.
Turns out eating bugs for food is a real thing, called entomophagy. Deciding that means he can use a class project to feed everyone grasshoppers, Will bargains for Eloy’s help in exchange for helping him with wrestling, but their growing friendship only ticks off Darryl more.
Will may have bitten off more than he can chew as crickets, earthworm jerky—even a scorpion—end up on his plate, but insects are the least of his problems. When things with Darryl and Eloy heat up, Will wrestles with questions of loyalty, honor—and that maybe not all friendships are worth fighting for.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Boy Bites Bug?
My favorite thing about BUG is the friendships between the boys. They’re goofy and caring and occasionally idiots and frequently funny. There’s a scene about hugs that makes me grin every time.
Things are improving, but I think US media often implies “men” are only certain things, but they can be lots of different people and feel lots of different feelings—all in one day! I like to explore that in my books, and I hope by doing so help to counter some of the “manly” messaging that is almost as pervasive as the negative messaging girls are inundated with every day, too.

Arthur Louis Pullman the Third is on the verge of a breakdown. He’s been stripped of his college scholarship, is losing his grip on reality, and has been sent away to live with his aunt and uncle.
It’s there that Arthur discovers a journal written by his grandfather, the first Arthur Louis Pullman, an iconic Salinger-esque author who went missing the last week of his life and died hundreds of miles away from their family home. What happened in that week—and how much his actions were influenced by his Alzheimer’s—remains a mystery.
But now Arthur has his grandfather’s journal—and a final sentence containing a train route and a destination.
So Arthur embarks on a cross-country train ride to relive his grandfather’s last week, guided only by the clues left behind in the dementia-fueled journal. As Arthur gets closer to uncovering a sad and terrible truth, his journey is complicated by a shaky alliance with a girl who has secrets of her own and by escalating run-ins with a dangerous Pullman fan base.
Arthur’s not the only one chasing a legacy—and some feel there is no cost too high for the truth.

Released 5/8/2018
Sixteen-year-old Elektra Kamenides is well on her way to becoming a proper southern belle in the small Mississippi college town she calls home. That is, until her mother decides to uproot her and her kid sister Thalia and start over in California. They leave behind Elektra's father--a professor and leading expert on Greek mythology, and Elektra can't understand why. For her, life is tragedy, and all signs point to her family being cursed.
Their journey ends in Guadalupe Slough, a community of old Chicano families and oddball drifters sandwiched between San José and the southern shores of San Francisco Bay. The houseboat that her mother has bought, sight unseen, is really just an ancient trailer parked on a barge and sunk into a mudflat.
What would Odysseus do? Elektra asks herself. Determined to get back to Mississippi at all costs, she'll beg, lie, and steal to get there. But things are not always what they seem, and home is wherever you decide to make it.
