Dear Rachel Maddowby Adrienne Kisner
Hardcover Giveaway
U.S. Only
Feiwel & Friends
Released 6/5/2018
Brynn Haper's life has one steadying force--Rachel Maddow.
She watches her daily, and after writing to Rachel for a school project--and actually getting a response--Brynn starts drafting e-mails to Rachel but never sending them. Brynn tells Rachel about breaking up with her first serious girlfriend, about her brother Nick's death, about her passive mother and even worse stepfather, about how she's stuck in remedial courses at school and is considering dropping out.
Then Brynn is confronted with a moral dilemma. One student representative will be allowed to have a voice among the administration in the selection of a new school superintendent. Brynn's archnemesis, Adam, and ex-girlfriend, Sarah, believe only Honors students are worthy of the selection committee seat. Brynn feels all students deserve a voice. When she runs for the position, the knives are out. So she begins to ask herself: What Would Rachel Maddow Do?
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Dear Rachel Maddow?
My favorite thing about DEAR RACHEL MADDOW is probably my main character, Brynn. Things don’t come easy for her, there are a million reasons for her to give up or disengage, and it’s not like there are a lot of opportunities for her to improve her situation. But she loves what she loves to her core, and can’t stop hoping in something better. She is fearless in speaking her mind. She is comfortable in her own skin. Of course Brynn watches The Rachel Maddow Show. Even on its less optimistic days, this program retains a kind of civility and integrity that drive its dedication to truth. I know not everyone believes that. But I do. Brynn does even more so. The idea of the free press nourishes a part of her that nothing else does. Brynn and I would have baffled one another if we’d known each other in high school, but only because she’s a much cooler person than I ever was.

Nightbloodby Elly Blake
FIREBLOOD paperback Giveaway
U.S. & Canada Only
Little, Brown Books for Young
Released 6/5/2018
Ruby's world has changed more than she ever could have imagined. She's in love with a powerful Frost King. She's the heir to the Fire Throne. And she may be a Nightblood--the spawn of a vengeful deity hellbent on releasing his wraithlike Minax from their prison. Once freed, these beasts will roam the earth, devouring every last person until he or she is nothing but an empty husk. But Ruby is able to control the Minax to a degree, and now she, her beloved Arcus, and her friend Kai must find a way to bring Frostbloods and Firebloods--sworn enemies--together to make a stand against a foe more deadly than any they've faced.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Nightblood?
Aside from the romantic scenes (which are always the most fun for me to write) I so enjoyed getting the opportunity to explore more about the Minax and its effect on Ruby. She’s a character whose emotions are so strong they often spin out of her control, so I wanted to see how would it influence her to have an element that makes control even more difficult, and how that would ripple outward to the people around her. That was the part I was dying to dig into when I started writing NIGHTBLOOD. As it turned out, my first draft was a bit too heavy emotionally, so I ended up having to rewrite a lot of the book to bring Ruby’s fiery personality into play, even as she struggled to contain the shadow creature living in her heart. Then the editors said they actually missed a few key scenes from the first draft, so I brought those back in. When I wove the threads together (heavy elements and fun moments) it finally seemed to create a cohesive whole. I really hope readers find it to be fun and satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I’m going to miss these characters so much, but I’m ever grateful to those dear readers who have embraced them and loved them too!

Tell Me No Liesby A.V. Geiger
Paperback Giveaway
U.S. Only
Sourcebooks Fire
Released 6/5/2018
No one knows what happened to pop icon Eric Thorn. His Twitter account? Frozen. His cell phone? Cracked and bloody, buried in the snow.
Agoraphobic fangirl Tessa Hart knows the truth, but she's finally left her #EricThornObsessed days behind. She has no intention of ever touching her Twitter app again. But Snapchat... That's safer, right?
After months of living under the radar, Tessa emerges from hiding, forced to face the deadly consequences of her past. But in the interrogation room, answers only lead to more questions in the jaw-dropping conclusion to the Follow Me Back duology.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Tell Me No Lies?
I adore the mixed format elements in TELL ME NO LIES above all else. For the life of me, I don't know how to tell a story in a straightforward fashion. The first book of this duology, FOLLOW ME BACK, amped up the suspense by weaving together tweets, direct messages, and fragments from a mysterious police interrogation transcript, alongside the main dual-POV narrative. In TELL ME NO LIES (Follow Me Back #2), I had so much fun pushing the mixed elements even further. In addition to Twitter, the main character Tessa migrates onto Snapchat, and readers get to explore a new social media platform through her eyes. Meanwhile, the police interrogation transcripts continue to frame the main narrative, driving the slow buildup of tension from the first page of the book to the final resolution.

Entangled: Teen
Released 6/5/2018
Zera is a Heartless―the immortal, unaging soldier of a witch. Bound to the witch Nightsinger, Zera longs for freedom from the woods they hide in. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger's control, she serves the witch unquestioningly.
Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a prince's heart in exchange for her own, with one addendum: if she's discovered infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy Zera's heart rather than see her tortured by the witch-hating nobles.
Crown Prince Lucien d'Malvane hates the royal court as much as it loves him―every tutor too afraid to correct him and every girl jockeying for a place at his darkly handsome side. No one can challenge him―until the arrival of Lady Zera. She's inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. The prince's honor has him quickly aiming for her throat.
So begins a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all.
Winner takes the loser's heart.
Literally.

Bruja Bornby Zoraida Córdova
Hardcover
Sourcebooks Fire
Released 6/5/2018
Three sisters. One spell. Countless dead.
Lula Mortiz feels like an outsider. Her sister's newfound Encantrix powers have wounded her in ways that Lula's bruja healing powers can't fix, and she longs for the comfort her family once brought her. Thank the Deos for Maks, her sweet, steady boyfriend who sees the beauty within her and brings light to her life.
Then a bus crash turns Lula's world upside down. Her classmates are all dead, including Maks. But Lula was born to heal, to fix. She can bring Maks back, even if it means seeking help from her sisters and defying Death herself. But magic that defies the laws of the deos is dangerous. Unpredictable. And when the dust settles, Maks isn't the only one who's been brought back...
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Bruja Born?
The main thing I wanted to accomplish with the Brooklyn Brujas series was a strong sisterly bond. That is the heart of this series, and it's also the heart of this book in particular. Writing Lula Mortiz was difficult for different reasons. She starts off in a bad headspace with the whole getting dumped and then starting an undead invasion in her city. But finding her courage and her love of life again was absolutely wonderful. She gets to stretch outside of her comfort zone and has to deal with her family, her community, and also a cute supernatural hunter.
This book definitely put me through the ringer, but I had amazing friends who talked scenes out with me and encouraged me to stop being so hard on myself. Of course, I have to shout out Dhonielle Clayton for always setting me straight when I got down on myself. She reminded me to be kind to my little brujas! We're going on tour together in June for a little project we're calling The Belles and Brujas Tour (https://ift.tt/2LR5aM1). Having people who *get* you makes writing that much more worth it because suddenly you're not alone. I was reminded that my books are magic, my girls are magic. BRUJA BORN and I came out stronger for it. I hope readers feel the same.

Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universeby Preston Norton
Hardcover
Disney-Hyperion
Released 6/5/2018
Cliff Hubbard is a huge loser. Literally. His nickname at Happy Valley High School is Neanderthal because he's so enormous-6'6" and 250 pounds to be exact. He has nobody at school, and life in his trailer-park home has gone from bad to worse ever since his older brother's suicide.
There's no one Cliff hates more than the nauseatingly cool quarterback, Aaron Zimmerman. Then Aaron returns to school after a near-death experience with a bizarre claim: while he was unconscious he saw God, who gave him a list of things to do to make Happy Valley High suck less. And God said there's only one person who can help: Neanderthal.
To his own surprise, Cliff says he's in. As he and Aaron make their way through the List, which involves a vindictive English teacher, a mysterious computer hacker, a decidedly unchristian cult of Jesus Teens, the local drug dealers, and the meanest bully at HVHS, Cliff feels like he's part of something for the first time since losing his brother. But fixing a broken school isn't as simple as it seems, and just when Cliff thinks they've completed the List, he realizes their mission hits closer to home than he ever imagined.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Neanderthal Opens the Door to the Universe?
If you were to metaphorically cut me open and spill out all of my contents, amidst the blood and gore and entrails, you would find bits and pieces everywhere that essentially form the entirety of NEANDERTHAL OPENS THE DOOR TO THE UNIVERSE. That is to say, this book is culmination of me. It's personal on almost every level. In many ways, writing it was a healing, therapeutic experience. I also cried a whole f***ing lot. But I like to think that crying is healthy.
My second favorite thing is Tegan f***ing Robertson. She's a side character who kind of exploded onto the page, and got way out of control, and became everyone's favorite character (mine included) of her own volition. I had no say over it.

Social Intercourseby Greg Howard
Hardcover
Simon & Schuster Books for You
Released 6/5/2018
Beckett Gaines, a gay teen living in South Carolina, has his world turned upside-down by a jock in this laugh-out-loud novel that’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets The Parent Trap.
Beck:
The Golden Girls-loving, out-and-proud choir nerd growing up in the “ass-crack of the Bible belt.”
Jax:
The Golden Boy, star quarterback with a slick veneer facing uncomfortable truths about himself and his past.
When Beck’s emotionally fragile dad starts dating the recently single (and supposedly lesbian) mom of former bully, Jaxon Parker, Beck is not having it. Jax isn’t happy about the situation either, holding out hope that his moms will reunite and restore the only stable home he’s ever known. Putting aside past differences, the boys plot to derail the budding romance between their parents at their conservative hometown’s first-ever Rainbow Prom. Hearts will be broken, new romance will bloom, but nothing will go down the way Beck and Jax have planned.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Social Intercourse?
SOCIAL INTERCOURSE is set in the small Southern town where I went to middle school and high school, and I love that one of the two main characters is so comfortable being openly gay. People ask me if I was like the character of Beck in high school and my answer is always "no, but I wish I had been.” I was very closeted in high school and Beck is not in the least. He's out and proud and wears any resulting emotional scars from teasing or bullying as a badge of honor. But for the same reason Beck has built up walls to protect himself and therefore has to learn not to paint everyone with the broad strokes of bigotry and hate that are exhibited by a few. So I love that he thinks he has the world (and other people) all figured out, but in some cases, he couldn’t be more wrong. That was fun to write.

Sweet Black Wavesby Kristina Perez
Hardcover
Imprint
Released 6/5/2018
Two proud kingdoms stand on opposite shores, with only a bloody history between them.
As best friend and lady-in-waiting to the princess, Branwen is guided by two principles: devotion to her homeland and hatred for the raiders who killed her parents. When she unknowingly saves the life of her enemy, he awakens her ancient healing magic and opens her heart. Branwen begins to dream of peace, but the princess she serves is not so easily convinced. Fighting for what's right, even as her powers grow beyond her control, will set Branwen against both her closest confidant and the only man she's ever loved.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Sweet Black Waves?
Gosh, this is a tough question! I guess I would have to say the journey that Branwen is on. At its core, this is a coming of age story. It’s about Branwen finding her own power––both in terms of magic and as a political player––and learning to trust herself. Sometimes we all only have ourselves to rely on and that’s actually empowering.

Fat Girl on a Planeby Kelly deVos
Hardcover
Harlequin Teen
Released 6/5/2018
High school senior Cookie Vonn’s post-graduation dreams include getting out of Phoenix, attending Parsons and becoming the next great fashion designer. But in the world of fashion, being fat is a cardinal sin. It doesn’t help that she’s constantly compared to her supermodel mother—and named after a dessert.
Thanks to her job at a fashion blog, Cookie scores a trip to New York to pitch her portfolio and appeal for a scholarship, but her plans are put on standby when she’s declared too fat too fly. Forced to turn to her BFF for cash, Cookie buys a second seat on the plane. She arrives in the city to find that she’s been replaced by the boss’s daughter, a girl who’s everything she’s not—ultrathin and superrich. Bowing to society’s pressure, she vows to lose weight, get out of the friend zone with her crush, and put her life on track.
Cookie expected sunshine and rainbows, but nothing about her new life is turning out like she planned. When the fashion designer of the moment offers her what she’s always wanted—an opportunity to live and study in New York—she finds herself in a world full of people more interested in putting women down than dressing them up. Her designs make waves, but her real dream of creating great clothes for people of all sizes seems to grow more distant by the day.
Will she realize that she’s always had the power to make her own dreams come true?

So why isn't she happy? Maybe it's the whispers and stares that follow her wherever she goes, as the daughter of the traitor waging war against Lightspire. Or maybe it's the memories of her beloved brother, Jax, who lies cold in his grave even as she tries to settle into a life in the city's prestigious University.
Then Tilla stumbles upon the body of a classmate-a friend. The authorities are quick to rule it a suicide and sweep it under the rug, but when Tilla herself is attacked by a mysterious man with terrifying powers, she's convinced of a conspiracy. Her friends beg her to stay silent; what she's suggesting is impossible . . . and treasonous.
But Tilla can't-won't-let it go. And the deeper she digs, the more questions she uncovers. How is the West beating the supposedly invincible Lightspire mages in battle? Is it connected to the shadowy cult wreaking havoc in Lightspire? Nothing is as it seems in the glorious capital, and Tilla's presence might just be the spark that sets the Kingdom aflame.

Rose Asher believes in ghosts. She should, since she has one for a best friend: Logan, her annoying, Netflix-addicted brother, who is forever stuck at fifteen. But Rose is growing up, and when an old friend moves back to Laguna Canyon and appears in her drama class, things get complicated.
Jamie Aldridge is charming, confident, and a painful reminder of the life Rose has been missing out on since her brother’s death. She watches as Jamie easily rejoins their former friends—a group of magnificently silly theater nerds—while avoiding her so intensely that it must be deliberate.
Yet when the two of them unexpectedly cross paths, Rose learns that Jamie has a secret of his own, one that changes everything. Rose finds herself drawn back into her old life—and to Jamie. But she quickly starts to suspect that he isn’t telling her the whole truth.
All Rose knows is that it’s becoming harder to choose between the boy who makes her feel alive and the brother she isn’t ready to lose.

After a perfect first kiss, Aurora's second kiss lands her boyfriend in the hospital, and her matchmaking strategies start to backfire in this sequel to Tara Eglington's How to Keep a Boy from Kissing You.

And she got her wish―one first kiss with all the knee-trembling, butterfly-inducing gloriousness she’d hoped for. But instead of happily ever after, their second kiss landed Hayden in the emergency room. If that’s not mortifying enough, the whole school is now referring to her as "Lethal Lips."
When Aurora's best friend decides to run for class president and offers up Aurora's matchmaking service as one of her campaign initiatives, the kissing games begin. Aurora has to convince everyone that her program works―but that might be hard to do when it seems like her own love life might be falling apart.

Enslaved in Kipchak Khanate, Jinghua has lost everything: her home, her family, her freedom . . . until the kingdom is conquered by enemy forces and she finds herself an unlikely conspirator in the escape of Prince Khalaf and his irascible father across the vast Mongol Empire.
On the run, with adversaries on all sides and an endless journey ahead, Jinghua hatches a scheme to use the Kipchaks’ exile to return home, a plan that becomes increasingly fraught as her feelings for Khalaf evolve into an impossible love.
Jinghua’s already dicey prospects take a downward turn when Khalaf seeks to restore his kingdom by forging a marriage alliance with Turandokht, the daughter of the Great Khan. As beautiful as she is cunning, Turandokht requires all potential suitors to solve three impossible riddles to win her hand—and if they fail, they die.
Jinghua has kept her own counsel well, but with Khalaf’s kingdom—and his very life—on the line, she must reconcile the hard truth of her past with her love for a boy who has no idea what she’s capable of . . . even if it means losing him to the girl who’d sooner take his life than his heart.

American expat Aubrey has only two weeks left in Europe before she leaves for college, and she's nowhere near ready. Good thing she and her best friend, Rae, have planned one last group trip across the continent. From Paris to Prague, they're going to explore famous museums, sip champagne in fancy restaurants, and eat as many croissants as possible with their friends Clara, Jonah, and Gabe.
But when old secrets come to light, Aubrey and Rae's trip goes from a carefree adventure to a complete disaster. For starters, there's Aubrey and Gabe's unresolved history, complicated by the fact that Aubrey is dating Jonah, Gabe's best friend. And then there's Rae's hopeless crush on the effortlessly cool Clara. How is Rae supposed to admit her feelings to someone so perfect when they're moving to different sides of the world in just a few weeks?
