    The Raven Boys: The Graphic Novel

    by Maggie Stiefvater and Stephanie Williams

    The first book in Maggie Stiefvater’s #1 New York Times bestselling series The Raven Cycle, now gorgeously illustrated as a graphic novel! Blue Sargent comes from a family of psychics. Only, she has never had the same clairvoyant abilities and has always felt too ordinary within the magic that surrounded her. Enter Gansey, a rich student from Aglionby, the town’s all-boys private school teeming with wealth, privilege, and trouble. When Gansey asks Blue to join him on his quest to find a long-forgotten Welsh king rumored to be sleeping beneath the mountains of their quiet town, Blue doesn’t hesitate. She jumps at the chance to finally be a part of something real and full of magic. Soon enough, she’s swept into a strange and shifting world woven into theirs, one far more dangerous than anything they could have dreamt up.

    The Secret Place

    by Tana French

    A year ago, a boy was found murdered at a girlsʼ boarding school, and the case was never solved. Detective Stephen Moran has been waiting for his chance to join Dublin’s Murder Squad when 16-year-old Holly Mackey arrives in his office with a photo of the boy with the caption: “I KNOW WHO KILLED HIM.” Stephen joins with Detective Antoinette Conway to reopen the case — beneath the watchful eye of Holly’s father, fellow detective Frank Mackey. With the clues leading back to Holly’s close-knit group of friends, to their rival clique, and to the tangle of relationships that bound them all to the murdered boy, the private underworld of teenage girls turns out to be more mysterious and more dangerous than the detectives imagined.

    The Bear and the Nightingale

    by Katherine Arden

    Winter lasts most of the year at the edge of the Russian wilderness, and in the long nights, Vasya and her siblings love to gather by the fire to listen to their nurse’s fairy tales that tell of demons who claim unwary souls and honor the spirits that protect their homes from evil. Then Vasya’s widowed father brings home a new wife. Fiercely devout, Vasya’s stepmother forbids her family from honoring their household spirits, but Vasya fears what this may bring. And indeed, misfortune begins to stalk the village. As the village’s defenses weaken and evil creeps nearer, Vasya must call upon dangerous gifts she has long concealed — to protect her family from a threat sprung to life from her nurse’s most frightening tales. Don’t miss the rest of the adventure in the Winternight Trilogy series!

    In the start of a bold and immersive fantasy series, sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity — and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death. Knowing the dangers that lie ahead, Deka decides to leave the only life she’s ever known. But as she journeys to the capital to train for the biggest battle of her life, she will discover that the great walled city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be — not even Deka herself.

    by N.H. Kleinbaum

    Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, John Keating, has challenged them to “make your lives extraordinary!” Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Dead Poets Society — a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild. As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of language, but the importance of making each moment count. But the Dead Poets soon realize that their newfound freedom can have tragic consequences. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams?

    The Age of Miracles

    by Karen Thompson Walker

    Spellbinding, haunting, The Age of Miracles is a beautiful novel of catastrophe and survival, growth and change, the story of Julia and her family as they struggle to live in an extraordinary time. On an ordinary Saturday, Julia awakes to discover that something has happened to the rotation of the earth. The days and nights are growing longer and longer, gravity is affected, the birds, the tides, human behavior, and cosmic rhythms are thrown into disarray. In a world of danger and loss, Julia faces surprising developments in herself, and her personal world — divisions widening between her parents, strange behavior by Hannah and other friends, the vulnerability of first love, a sense of isolation, and a rebellious new strength.

    Two siblings. Two brilliant talents. But only one Mozart. Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish — to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, as a woman in 18th century Europe, composing is forbidden to her. And as Nannerl’s hope grows dimmer, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. He has the power to make her wish come true — but his help may cost her everything.
