This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story
by Kheryn Callender
Hardcover
Balzer + Bray
Released 10/30/2018
Nathan Bird doesn’t believe in happy endings. Although he’s the ultimate film buff and an aspiring screenwriter, Nate’s seen the demise of too many relationships to believe that happy endings exist in real life.
Playing it safe to avoid a broken heart has been his MO ever since his father died and left his mom to unravel—but this strategy is not without fault. His best-friend-turned-girlfriend-turned-best-friend-again, Florence, is set on making sure Nate finds someone else. And in a twist that is rom-com-worthy, someone does come along: Oliver James Hernández, his childhood best friend.
After a painful mix-up when they were little, Nate finally has the chance to tell Ollie the truth about his feelings. But can Nate find the courage to pursue his own happily ever after?
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story?
My favorite thing about THIS IS KIND OF AN EPIC LOVE STORY is that the main character and his love interest are queer people of color who find unapologetic joy. The characters are all realistic—they make mistakes, and they all need to learn and grow—but this isn’t a story about QPOC fighting homophobia or racism. While prejudice is something QPOC have to face every day, and books that explore ignorance and pain will always be important, I think a reminder of our love and joy and happiness is just as needed. Think of EPIC LOVE STORY as a sort of self-care for QPOC! I believe in resistance through joy, and I hope that THIS IS KIND OF AN EPIC LOVE STORY will serve as a reminder to queer people of color everywhere that we are magical, beautiful, and deserving of love stories, too.

Never Quit: How I Became a Special Ops Pararescue Jumper
by Jimmy Settle and Don Rearden
Hardcover
St. Martin's Griffin
Released 10/30/2018
The young adult adaptation of the epic memoir of an Alaskan pararescue jumper, Special Forces Operator, and decorated war hero.
“That Others May Live” is a mantra that defines the fearless men of Alaska’s 212th Pararescue Unit, the PJs, one of the most elite military forces on the planet. Whether they are rescuing citizens injured and freezing in the Alaskan wilderness or saving wounded Rangers and SEALS in blazing firefights at war, the PJs are some of the least known and most highly trained of America’s warriors.
Never Quit is the true story of how Jimmy Settle, an Alaskan shoe store clerk, became a Special Forces Operator and war hero. After being shot in the head during a dangerous high mountain operation in Afghanistan, Jimmy returns to battle with his teammates for a heroic rescue, the bullet fragments stitched over and still in his skull. In a cross between a suicide rescue mission and an against-all-odds mountain battle, his team of PJs risk their lives again in an epic firefight. When his helicopter is hit and begins leaking fuel, Jimmy finds himself in the worst possible position as a rescue specialist―forced to leave members from his own team behind. Jimmy will have to risk everything to get back into the battle and save his brothers.
From death-defying Alaskan wilderness training, wild rescues, and battles against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, this is the true story of how a boy from humble beginnings became an American hero.

In the world of the Lux, secrets thrive, lies shatter, and love is undeniable.
Seventeen-year-old Evie Dasher knows firsthand the devastating consequences of humanity's war with the stunning, otherworldly Luxen.

When Evie is caught up in a raid at a notorious club known as one of the few places where humans and the surviving Luxen can mingle freely, she meets Luc, an unnaturally beautiful guy she initially assumes is a Luxen...but he is in fact something much more secret―and much more dangerous.
Her growing desire to know about Luc will lead her deeper and deeper into a world she'd only heard about, revealing secrets long buried, a betrayal that could tear her life apart, and an attraction that could be the very end of her.

This Cruel Design
by Emily Suvada
Hardcover
Simon Pulse
Released 10/30/2018
The nightmare of the outbreak is finally over, but Cat’s fight has only just begun.
Exhausted, wounded, and reeling from revelations that have shaken her to her core, Cat is at a breaking point. Camped in the woods with Cole and Leoben, she’s working day and night, desperate to find a way to stop Lachlan’s plan to reprogram humanity. But she’s failing—Cat can’t even control her newly regrown panel, and try as she might to ignore them, she keeps seeing glitching visions from her past everywhere she turns.
When news arrives that the Hydra virus might not be as dead as they’d thought, the group is pushed into an uneasy alliance with Cartaxus to hunt down Lachlan and fix the vaccine. Their search takes them to Entropia, a city of genehackers hidden deep in the desert that could also hold the answers about Cat’s past that she’s been searching for.
But when confronted with lies and betrayals, Cat is forced to question everything she knows and everyone she trusts. And while Lachlan is always two steps ahead, the biggest threat to Cat may be the secrets buried in her own mind.
