New Books Out This Week 5/26

These are the new books I'm obsessing over this week:

Dare You To

By: Katie McGarry

!!!!!So happy that this is finally out!!!!  I love Katie McGarry!  This is Beth's (from Pushing the Limits) story.  When her messed up home life forces her to go live with her aunt, she has to go to a new unfriendly school.  Then she meets Ryan, a popular kid who is dared by his friends to ask her out.  But Ryan has secrets that no one knows about him, and Beth doesn't want to let anyone in.

 

Wild Awake

By: Hilary T. Smith

Kiri's parents are going away for the summer, and she has big plans that include winning The Battle of the Bands and getting Lukas to fall for her.  Her plans do not include getting a phone call from a stranger to come get her dead sister's stuff and going on an adventure that will change everything that she's thought for the last 5 years.

 

Openly Straight

By: Bill Konigsberg

Rafe is coming out...again.  At Rafe's old school he was openly gay and went to other schools to give speeches about tolerance.  But Rafe is sick of being labeled, so when he transfers to an all-boys boarding school, he decides to keep his sexuality to himself.  Then he sees a classmate who's struggling, a teacher wants him to write about his journey, and he falls in love.

 

Overexposed

By: Susan J. Korman

Daisy sent her boyfriend some sexy pics, I mean who hasn't?  But after a bad breakup, Simon forwards those pictures to everyone at South Side High.  Now what is Daisy going to do?

 

Impostor

By: Susannne Winnacker

Cool looking cover!!  Tessa can be anyone.  She has the power to absorb someones DNA and mimic their appearance.  She's been working with the FBI and now must go to small-town Oregon to catch a serial killer.  Impersonating a local teen turns out to be much more than Tessa expected.  For one, Madison has a loving-family that Tessa would die for.  And even though she's still hot on the trail of a killer, she still finds time to make friends and even find a little romance.  Being a normal girl really suits Tessa.... so what happens when this all has to end?

 

Monument 14: Sky on Fire

By: Emmy Laybourne

"The world hasn't ended... yet."  The follow-up to Monument 14, where the group of survivors has split in two groups.  Some of the kids stayed behind in the superstore, but most are on a school bus heading for the Denver airport where they hope to find help and their parents.  The outside world is a dangerous place filled with deadly chemicals that turn people into monsters and the world inside the store isn't much better when you don't know who you can trust.
