New Books for You

Here's some brand-new titles I've just put on the YA shelves...

Bonechiller, Graham McNamee -- It's really cold in Canada...Danny and his friends stumble on a centures-old nightmare. They start seeing things. Impossible things. In this frozen wasteland, something is hunting them down. And in winter, there is no escape from Harvest Cove...

Dark Dude, Oscar Hijuelos -- Rico Fuentes trades Harlem for Wisconsin, giving up on a big part of his identity. For anyone who loved The Outsiders--and for anyone who's ever felt like one--Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Oscar Hijuelos brings to life a haunting choice and an unforgettable journey about identity, misidentity, and all that we take with us when we run away.

The Devouring, Simon Holt -- The existence of Vours, supernatural creatures who feast on fear and attack on the winter solstice, becomes a terrifying reality for fifteen-year-old Reggie when she begins to suspect that her timid younger brother might be one of their victims.

War Is...soldiers, survivors, and storytellers talk about war, Marc Aronson and Patty Campbell, editors -- Is war noble? or is it delusional? Should it be obsolete? Or is it inevitable?
