New books I’ve enjoyed

The Leaving by Tara Altebrando

Six kindergartners were taken. Eleven years later, five come back–with no idea of where they’ve been. No one remembers the sixth victim, Max. Avery, Max’s sister, needs to find her brother–dead or alive–and isn’t buying this whole memory-loss story.  Creepy, fantastic.

Even if the Sky Falls by Mia Garcia

Volunteering in New Orleans so she can escape the challenges of her brother’s losing battle with PTSD, Julie runs away at the height of the Mardi Gras festivities and shares a 24-hour fantasy, no-strings-attached romance with a complicated musician only to be swept up by a life-threatening hurricane.

Two Summers by Aimee Friedman

Two possible futures face Summer: either she will spend the summer in Provence with her father, uncovering family secrets, and exploring the old world, or she will stay in upstate New York, coping with her mother, and dreaming of her long time crush–and which future unfolds will depend on whether or not she answers a phone call.
