A Sliver of Light: Three Americans Imprisoned in Iran by Shane Bauer, Joshua Fattal, and Sarah Shourd
"In this jointly authored memoir, three young, globetrotting journalists recount their two-year imprisonment in Iran." -- Booklist
"Riveting and necessary and illuminating in countless unexpected ways. The hikers have pulled off the almost impossible task of making from their hellish experience something of beauty and grace." — Dave Eggers
A Totally Awkward Love Story by Tom Ellen and Lucy Ivison
Some loves are meant to be. Others are awkward. Get ready for the second type in this "laugh-out-loud" (Bustle) romance about missed connections and trying to find—and keep—"The One." Written by a former real-life couple!
“Told in alternating narratives…both characters are relatable and charming in unique ways.” —Horn Book Guide Reviews
Pedro by Pedro Martinez and Michael Silverman
“Pedro the book is as smart, as funny, and as diva-esque as Pedro the pitcher…Buy the book. Read the book. Celebrate a golden era in Boston baseball.” — Boston Globe
“There is little the eight-time All-Star holds back about any subject as he offers a revealing look at a colorful career…The intimate details Martinez offers up from both inside and outside the clubhouse make the book a winner.”—Washington Post
The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender
“Alender creates a fascinating, eerie world… A really scary and original ghost story.” – Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“A chilling tale of forgotten tragedies and family secrets. Strong female characters anchor the story.” – School Library Journal
The Program by Suzanne Young
"The uncomfortable mix of the good intentions and horrific outcomes of The Program is chilling, and will likely haunt readers as a slightly-too-plausible path adults would choose to “save” their teens." ― The Horn Books
"For lovers of dystopian romance, this gripping tale is a tormented look at identity and a dark trip down Lost-Memory Lane." ― Kirkus Reviews
The Glass Casket by McCormick Templeman
Some secrets can’t stay buried in this dark, haunting tale that’s perfect for fans of twisted fairytales and “the legion of Maggie Stiefvater fans” (Booklist).
"This has both the stylish beauty of those [classic fairy] tales and the chilling darkness that makes them timeless." —The Bulletin, Starred
Survive Like a Spy by Jason Hanson
"Survive Like a Spy is both a thrilling read and a primer full of lifesaving tactics. It’s a rare chance you get to learn from the best CIA operatives on how to stay alive in the crazy world we live in, which is why I highly recommend this book." —Alain Burrese, former Army sniper and author of Survive a Shooting
"Survive Like a Spy is an incredible survival book. Even though I’m a Marine, retired police officer, and black belt, I learned spy survival tricks that I can add to my arsenal." —Danny Lane, ninth degree black belt master and founder of the World Martial Arts Centers and the World Martial Arts Federation
