book jacketHow to Steal a Car by Pete Hautman.  Fifteen-year-old, suburban high school student Kelleigh, who has her learner's permit, recounts how she began stealing cars one summer, for reasons that seem unclear even to her.

 


book jacketLove is the Higher Law  by David Levithan.  Three New York City teens express their reactions to the bombing of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and its impact on their lives and the world.

 



book jacketOnce was Lost by Sara Zarr.  As the tragedy of a missing girl enfolds in her small town, fifteen-year-old Samara, who feels emotionally abandoned by her parents, begins to question her faith.

 



book jacketPride and Prejudice and Zombies : The Classic Regency Romance -- Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!  by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.  This is a wacky parody of Jane Austen’s famous novel with 85% of the actual text fused with “ultraviolent zombie mayhem”.  To combat the zombies that have overrun England, many families like the Bennets have sent their daughters to China to train in deadly combat.  The fact that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are now highly skilled zombie killers is just another reason for them to finally get together.

 

book jacketZombie Blondes by Brian James.  Each time fifteen-year-old Hannah and her out-of-work father move she has some fears about making friends, but a classmate warns her that in Maplecrest, Vermont, the cheerleaders really are monsters.
