The Deepest Roots
by Miranda Asebedo
Hardcover Giveaway
International
HarperTeen
Released 9/18/2018

Cottonwood Hollow, Kansas, is a strange place. For the past century, every girl has been born with a special talent, like the ability to Fix any object, Heal any wound, or Find what is missing.

To best friends Rome, Lux, and Mercy, their abilities often feel more like a curse. Rome may be able to Fix anything she touches, but that won’t help her mom pay rent. Lux’s ability to attract any man with a smile has always meant danger. And although Mercy can make Enough of whatever is needed, even that won’t help when her friendship with Rome and Lux is tested.

Follow three best friends in this enchanting debut novel as they discover that friendship is stronger than curses, that trust is worth the risk, and sometimes, what you’ve been looking for has been under your feet the whole time.

Author Question: What is your favorite thing about The Deepest Roots?

What I love best about THE DEEPEST ROOTS is its attention to female relationships, most especially female friendship. I feel like in the media, women, especially young women, are constantly being pitted against each other. On social media, we're constantly being bombarded on with female celebrity "feuds," of "who wore it better," and of course we're all very familiar with the trope of the "mean girl" that's always trying to bring other girls down. But I don't believe that's an accurate depiction of female relationships. Especially today, in the age of the #MeToo movement, we're seeing women band together to protect each other and raise each other up. In my own experience, it's been my relationships with other women that have helped me socially, academically, and professionally.

So to me, what makes THE DEEPEST ROOTS so special is that it's first and foremost a friendship story. There's a little romance in it, but as one reviewer put it, "the real love story is between the three friends." Rome, Lux, and Mercy will go to any lengths to protect each other. One of the big conflicts of the story is whether or not the main character, Rome, should reveal a dangerous secret because she knows that doing so will jeopardize her friendship with one of the other girls. I'd love to see more positive depictions of sisterhood in YA fiction, which is probably why it' s a major theme again in my next book coming in Fall 2019 from HarperTeen, A CONSTELLATION OF ROSES.

The Iron Flower
by Laurie Forest
Hardcover Giveaway
U.S. Only
Harlequin Teen
Released 9/18/2018

Elloren Gardner and her friends were only seeking to right a few wrongs when they rescued a Selkie and freed a military dragon. The last thing they expected was to be thrust into a realm-wide underground resistance against Gardnerian conquest.

While the Resistance struggles to fight back against the harsh rulings of the Mage Council, more and more Gardnerian soldiers descend upon the University…led by none other than Lukas Grey, now commander of the nearby military base. Though Elloren tries to keep him at arm's length, Lukas is determined to tie himself to her, still convinced that she is the heir to the power of the Black Witch, a legacy of magic that will decide the future of all Erthia. As his own magic calls out to her, seeking to awaken a dark force within, Elloren finds it more and more difficult to believe that she's truly powerless, as her uncle always claimed.

Caught between her growing feelings for the rebellious Yvan Guriel and the seductive power offered by Lukas, Elloren must find a way to stay true to what she knows is right and protect everyone she loves…even if that means protecting them from herself.

Author Question: What is your favorite thing about The Iron Flower?

The large amount of kissing (the love triangle heats up quite a bit in Iron Flower) :) And dragonflight! It was incredibly fun to write about characters flying into the air on dragons - and dragons incinerating things :) And I'm especially drawn to Ariel's storyline at the moment. Because she's the underdog and I love her. But my top favorite thing is that I was able to weave pro-immigrant themes into the storyline over the course of the last eight months of editing. I drew directly from what's troubling me in the world today and worked it right into the story, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to do that.

What the Woods Keep
by Katya de Becerra
Hardcover Giveaway
U.S. Only
Imprint
Released 9/18/2018

On her eighteenth birthday, Hayden inherits her childhood home―on the condition that she uncover its dark secrets.

Hayden tried to put the past behind her, and it worked. She’s getting ready for college, living in a Brooklyn apartment, and hanging out with her best friend and roommate Del. But now it’s all catching up with her: her mother’s mysterious disappearance a decade before, her father’s outlandish theories about a lost supernatural race, and Hayden’s own dark dreams of strange symbols and rituals in the Colorado woods where she grew up.

As soon as Hayden arrives at her hometown, her friend Del in tow, it begins: Neighbors whisper secrets about Hayden’s mother; the boy next door is now all grown-up in a very distracting way; and Hayden feels the trees calling to her. And among them, deep in the woods, Hayden will discover something incredible―something that threatens reality itself.

Author Question: What is your favorite thing about What the Woods Keep?

My favorite thing about WHAT THE WOODS KEEP is that writing it allowed me to geek out about the topics I love - science, mythology and pop culture - all at once! I also immensely enjoyed writing a book that is 'cross-genre'. I'm a huge fan of fantasies, thriller and mysteries, so it was really exciting to create something that combined the elements of all these genres I adore.

American Road Trip
by Patrick Flores-Scott
Hardcover
Henry Holt and Co.
Released 9/18/2018

With a strong family, the best friend a guy could ask for, and a budding romance with the girl of his dreams, life shows promise for Teodoro “T” Avila. But he takes some hard hits the summer before senior year when his nearly perfect brother, Manny, returns from a tour in Iraq with a devastating case of PTSD. In a desperate effort to save Manny from himself and pull their family back together, T’s fiery sister, Xochitl, hoodwinks her brothers into a cathartic road trip.

Told through T’s honest voice, this is a candid exploration of mental illness, socioeconomic pressures, and the many inescapable highs and lows that come with growing up―including falling in love.

Author Question: What is your favorite thing about American Road Trip?

I think it’s the humor.

The book takes on some heavy topics; unemployment, foreclosure, mental illness—and the family strife caused by all those. AMERICAN ROAD TRIP is my take on how one family might battle with these issues and come out the other end whole. I didn’t go searching for silliness in all that. But I think the humor is a natural outgrowth of how people negotiate the toughest times. There are tears, anger, and laughs. We need them all to get through. Readers need them all too and I’m proud that this book navigates a full and realistic emotional journey.

A Heart in a Body in the World
by Deb Caletti
Hardcover
Simon Pulse
Released 9/18/2018

When everything has been taken from you, what else is there to do but run?

So that’s what Annabelle does—she runs from Seattle to Washington, DC, through mountain passes and suburban landscapes, from long lonely roads to college towns. She’s not ready to think about the why yet, just the how—muscles burning, heart pumping, feet pounding the earth. But no matter how hard she tries, she can’t outrun the tragedy from the past year, or the person—The Taker—that haunts her.

Followed by Grandpa Ed in his RV and backed by her brother and two friends (her self-appointed publicity team), Annabelle becomes a reluctant activist as people connect her journey to the trauma from her past. Her cross-country run gains media attention and she is cheered on as she crosses state borders, and is even thrown a block party and given gifts. The support would be nice, if Annabelle could escape the guilt and the shame from what happened back home. They say it isn’t her fault, but she can’t feel the truth of that.

Through welcome and unwelcome distractions, she just keeps running, to the destination that awaits her. There, she’ll finally face what lies behind her—the miles and love and loss…and what is to come.

Just Mercy (Adapted for Young Adults): A True Story of the Fight for Justice
by Bryan A. Stevenson
Hardcover
Delacorte Press
Released 9/18/2018

In this young adult adaptation of the acclaimed bestselling Just Mercy, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so," Bryan Stevenson dlves deep into the broken U.S. justice system, detailing from his personal experience his many challenges and efforts as a lawyer and social advocate, especially on behalf of America's most rejected and marginalized people.

In this very personal work--proceeds of which will go to charity--Bryan Stevenson recounts many and varied stories of his work as a lawyer in the U.S. criminal justice system on behalf of those in society who have experienced some type of discrimination and/or have been wrongly accused of a crime and who deserve a powerful advocate and due justice under the law.

Through the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), an organization Stevenson founded as a young lawyer and for which he currently serves as Executive Director, this important work continues. EJI strives to end mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.

Kens
by Raziel Reid
Hardcover
Penguin Teen
Released 9/18/2018

Every high school has the archetypical Queen B and her minions. In Kens, the high school hierarchy has been reimagined. Willows High is led by Ken Hilton, and he makes Regina George from Mean Girls look like a saint. Ken Hilton rules Willows High with his carbon-copies, Ken Roberts and Ken Carson, standing next to his throne. It can be hard to tell the Kens apart. There are minor differences in each edition, but all Kens are created from the same mold, straight out of Satan's doll factory. Soul sold separately.
Tommy Rawlins can't help but compare himself to these shimmering images of perfection that glide through the halls. He's desperate to fit in, but in a school where the Kens are queens who are treated like Queens, Tommy is the uncool gay kid. A once-in-a-lifetime chance at becoming a Ken changes everything for Tommy, just as his eye is caught by the tall, dark, handsome new boy, Blaine. Has Blaine arrived in time to save him from the Kens? Tommy has high hopes for their future together, but when their shared desire to overthrow Ken Hilton takes a shocking turn, Tommy must decide how willing he is to reinvent himself -- inside and out. Is this new version of Tommy everything he's always wanted to be, or has he become an unknowing and submissive puppet in a sadistic plan?
