<strong>Summary:</strong><br />It happened just like the movie/book said.
Dorothy went to Oz and then returned to Kansas only to discover that she
wanted to go back to Oz. When she went back, however, something had
changed. Dorothy had changed and she was no longer the sweet girl we
know her as--she was a magic hungry tyrant. Amy Gumm is transported to Oz
where she finds a world unlike the one in the story. This world has been
slowly destroyed by Dorothy and her desperate desire for more magic.
Amy is recruited into the Order of the Wicked with the directive that
she is to stop Dorothy's tyranny by any means necessary.<br /><br /><strong>Review:</strong><br />I love twisted fairy tales,
and it was interesting to see how the author would twist this story. She
takes Dorothy from the sweet girl from Kansas and turns her into a
tyrant. Everyone is afraid of Dorothy and the evil of her minions the
Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion.<br />
<br />
The
story is well developed and the characters are interesting. Over and
over Amy is told to trust no one, but when you need to trust someone who
can you trust. This novel is fast paced and action packed. Amy is
constantly stumbling into one deadly situation after another while
trying to get her footing in this unusual land. The book is definitely a
lead in for the other books in the series. You don't get the a solid
conclusion in this novel and much is left up in the air. <br /><br /><strong>Overall:</strong><br />Overall,
this is a fast paced action packed novel for those who love twisted
fairy tales. This novel will take you back to Oz--a much more dangerous
place than ever before.<br /><br /><strong>Cautions for Sensitive Readers:</strong><br />Sex: Some kissing<br />Language: Mild<br />Drugs/Alcohol: There might be some drinking at a party.<br />Violence: Some graphic violence and gore.

<strong>Summary:</strong><br />Two teens, children of mothers who were
stunt pilots, grow up together as brother and sister even though one is
black and the other white. In order to escape the discrimination in the
United States, they move to Ethiopia with their mother where they can be
treated as equals. There they find themselves at home in the beautiful
country, but when the Italians decide to invade Ethiopia, they find
themselves in the middle of a war.<br /><br /><strong>Review:</strong><br />I
love historical fiction, as you can often learn so much about the time
period and events taking place in that time. This book is no exception.
Prior to reading this book I knew little about Ethiopian history or
about their conflict with the Italians, but Wein does a great job with
the history in her story. The book even provides an author's note at the
end where she provides more details about what was going on. The
characters in this novel were very believable and likable. You wish for
them to succeed. <br /><br /><strong>Cautions for Sensitive Readers:</strong><br />Sex: None<br />Drugs/Alcohol: None<br />Language: None<br />Violence: Some and some description of the effects of mustard gas.

<span id="freeTextreview1694944354"><strong>Summary:</strong><br />After
her father is killed in a fire and she kills a man who attempts to rape
her, Chinese American Sammy escapes with the help of Annamae who is a
runaway slave. Both girls know that the punishment if they are caught
will be death. Together they head west along the Oregon Trail, hoping to
find Annamae's brother and Sammy's father's business partner so they
can start a new life. Along they way they fall in with a group of young
cowboys, who help them survive the dangers of the trail.<br /><br /><strong>Review:</strong><br />There
aren't many young adult westerns written, so I was very excited to find this
one. There have been two other young adult westerns written in the last year (<i>Vengeance Road </i>by Erin Bowman and <i>Walk on Earth a Stranger</i> by Rae Carson), so I am hoping
this is a new trend in young adult publishing. This book tells the story of a Chinese American girl
who is on the run with a runaway slave after she kills a man who
attempts to rape her. Sammy is a likable character and her history and
background are well developed. She is a real person, but so often people
judge her by the color of her skin. The story is fast paced from the
very beginning when Sammy kills the man and doesn't stop moving until
the very end. <br /><br /><strong>Overall:</strong><br />This was one of those
books where I finished and I wanted more--it was just so much fun to
read. The story has action, adventure, danger, and romance--a great
combination.<br /><br /><strong>Cautions for Sensitive Readers:</strong><br />Sex: attempted rape<br />Drugs/Alcohol: some hard cider and other drinks are present in the novel<br />Language: mild<br />Violence: yes</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">KHCPL Teen Scene is brought to you by the staff of the KHCPL Teen Department.

<span id="freeTextreview1709085298"><strong>Summary:</strong><br />Meira
is one of the few free Winterians left after her kingdom was captured
when she was a baby 16 years ago. She longs to fight to free the captive
people of Winter and to restore their prince to the throne. In a world
ruled by magic and politics, Meira begins to realize that she is a pawn
in a much larger game, and that her destiny isn't what she thought it
would be.<br /><br /><strong>Review:</strong><br />Like many fantasy novels
this one has a lot of world building and it takes a while for you to get
used to the world Raasch has created. Meira is a fighter. She is
strong, determined, and more than a little rash. She longs to prove
herself, and free her people. In some ways this novel was
predictable--as a saw the ending coming. Still it is a well written and
entertaining fantasy for those who love books like Throne of Glass by
Sarah J. Maas. </span></span><br />

well known YA authors. From creepy birds to tragic tea parties, this
collection has it all.<br /><br /><b>Review:</b><br />Normally, short
story collections are hit and miss. You get really great stories, and
then some not so great stories. This collection is different. While all
the stories are greatly varied, they are all wonderful. Each story is inspired by film or classic horror tales. This is definitely for the horror
fan as some of the stories are a bit disturbing, but fantastic. This is
one of the best short story collections I have read in a while.<br /><br /><b>Cautions for Sensitive Readers:</b><br />This one can be more than a bit disturbing. There are stories of
abduction, cutting off body parts, and many other nightmare scenarios.
Be warned, this one is amazing, but could be disturbing to the sensitive
reader.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">As a Congressman's daughter in Washington, DC, Kate Hamilton is good at getting what she wants -- what some people might call "interfering." But when her family moves to West Texas so her dad can run in a special election, Kate encounters some difficulties that test all her political skills. None of her matchmaking efforts go according to plan. Her father's campaign gets off to a rough start. A pro tip for moving to Texas: Don't slam the star quarterback's hand in a door. And whenever Kate messes up, the irritatingly right (and handsome) Hunter Price is there to witness it. But Kate has determination and a good heart, and with all her political savvy -- and a little clever interference -- she'll figure out what it takes to make Red Dirt home.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why I picked it:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #323232; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<br style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" />1. Because when I think of Texas, I think of cowboys... And who doesn't love cowboys?<br />
2. I'm curious to see how things work out between Hunter and Kate. I tend to fall for the books when the main character and the love interest argue and irritate each other at first... It makes them getting together at the end that much more satisfying.<br />
3. But what if it's not Hunter and Kate together at the end? What if it's Kate and the star quarterback who end up as a couple? What if Hunter and the quarterback are the same person? These are the questions I need answered!<br />
4. This sounds like one of those cute contemporary novels similar to that of Sarah Dessen, Kasie West, and Morgan Matson. And I am rather fond of those authors,.. So we shall see if this one lives up to my expectations.<br />

<span id="freeTextreview1708627973"><b>Summary:</b><br />All
Jess dreams of doing is running the Fives and being a competitor, but
when a ruthless lord rips apart her family and takes her on as a student
she finds that she is running the Fives to protect her mother and
sisters. With the help of Kal, a friend way above her station, she will
do what she must to protect her family.<br /><br /><b>Review:</b><br />It
took me a little while to settle into this novel, but once I got past
the beginning I was hooked. Jess's society was at first difficult to
understand. In many ways it seemed reminiscent of Roman society. You have
the high ranking Patron class and the commoners. Jess's mother was a
commoner and her father a Patron, and as a result his family with Jess's
mother isn't recognized and it leaves the girls vulnerable because they
are not protected by the rights of either class. Like I said--it was a
rocky start to understand all this, but as the novel progressed it began
to make more sense. Jess's character is well developed and there is
plenty of action in this novel. The second book Poisoned Blade will be
out soon, and is definitely going to be on my reading list. <br /><br /><b>Overall:</b><br />Overall, this was an interesting adventure and I look forward to reading what comes next for Jess and her sisters.<br /><br /><b>Cautions for Sensitive Readers:</b><br />Violence: Yes<br />Sex: References, but nothing explicit<br />Language: No<br />Drugs/Alcohol: Mild drinking</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">KHCPL Teen Scene is brought to you by the staff of the KHCPL Teen Department.

<span id="freeText1822115532064609989"><i>What if the person you were falling for was a total mystery?<br /><br />While
Lily is spacing out in Chemistry one day, she picks up her pencil and
scribbles a line from one of her favorite songs on the desk. The next
day, someone else has written back to her on the desk! Soon enough Lily
and the mystery student are exchanging notes, and lyrics, and even
sharing secrets. When Lily finds out that her anonymous pen pal is a
guy, she's flustered -- and kind of feels like she's falling for him.
She and her best friend set out to unravel the identity of the letter
writer -- but when the truth is revealed, the guy is the LAST person
Lily could have ever imagined it to be. Now that Lily knows the truth,
can she untangle her feelings and gather the courage to listen to her
heart?<br /><br />From beloved author Kasie West (The Distance Between Us)
comes an utterly charming story about mixed messages, missed
connections, and the magic of good old-fashioned secret admirer notes.</i></span>

<span id="freeText7809991686049298799"><i>From Colleen Houck, New
York Times bestselling author of The Tiger’s Curse, comes Recreated, the
second book in the epic Egyptian-inspired Reawakened series, in which a
seventeen-year-old must literally go to hell to save the love of her
life.<br /><br />Lily Young thought traveling across the globe with a
reawakened sun prince was a grand adventure. Now she’s about to embark
on the journey of a lifetime.<br /><br />When Amon and Lily part tragically,
he transports himself to the Netherworld—what mortals call hell.
Tormented by the loss of his one true love, he’d rather suffer in agony
during Lily’s mortal years than fulfill his duty to protect humanity.<br /><br />Heartbroken,
Lily seeks refuge on her grandmother’s farm. Yet she can feel Amon’s
pain, and she has been having dreams—dreams of Amon continually
suffering.<br /><br />For before he departed, Amon gave Lily something very
special, an item that connects them even though they are worlds apart.
Now Lily must use this object to free him, and to free their realms from
darkness and utter chaos. She will do whatever it takes.</i></span></div>

Everyone loves a fairy tale, and one of the most popular is Cinderella. But we've all read <i>Cinder </i>by now and we know it's awesome (if you haven't, leave this post immediately to request it) so what else is there for the fairy tale insatiable? Try these.<br />

free of the Godmother’s terrible stone prison until a girl named Pin
attempts a breathless, daring escape. But she discovers that what seems
to be freedom is a prison of another kind, one that entangles her in a
story that leads to a prince, a kiss, and a clock striking midnight. To
unravel herself from this new life, Pin must choose between a prince and
another—the one who helped her before and who would give his life for
her. Torn, the only thing for her to do is trade in the glass slipper
for a sword and find her own destiny." Personally, I thought this one was a little bit out there, but it stayed true to the original and I think most people will like it. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1595042__Sash%20and%20bramble__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here to put in a request. </a></span><br />

<span id="freeText15605480228694154802"><i>Since sixteen-year-old
Riley Strout lost her mother two years ago, her saving grace has been
her quirky little family in the grief support group she joined as a
freshman. Jay, Kate, and Noah understand her pain; each lost a loved
one, and they’ve stuck together in spite of their differences, united by
tragedies only they understand.<br /><br />When Riley thinks she spots her
mother shopping in a grocery store, she fears she is suffering some sort
of post-traumatic stress. Then Jay and Kate report similar experiences.
Only Noah hasn’t had some kind of vision, which is perhaps why he’s
become so skeptical and distant.<br /><br />When Noah disappears, Riley
fears she’s lost another loved one. As they frantically search for him,
she, Kate, and Jay are drawn into the mystery surrounding a relic that
belonged to Jay’s dead father and contains clues about the afterlife.
Riley finds herself wrestling with her feelings for both Noah and
Jay—which have become clear only in Noah’s absence. If Riley is to help
those she loves, and herself, she must set things right with the one
she’s lost.</i></span></div>

Today, I would like to focus in on one author, on one series that I absolutely love to death. My love for it is being rekindled right now, because I miss the level of excellence this series brought to my literary life. Every book was amazing- even though I never finished the last one because I couldn't bear to have it end.<br />
<br />
This series is the<i> Gallagher Girls</i> series.<br />
<br />

Ally Carter, in <i>Gallagher Girls, </i>has created a fun, mystery-filled world of diverse characters, twisting alliances, huge surprises, and more. I loved this series when book 1 came out ten years ago, in 2006. I was 10. I listened to them on audio with my mom, and she loved them. Since then, I've done continuous rereads as each progressive book came out, and I'm getting ready to do another one, because they're appealing to every age, and because they feel like home. So if you haven't read them yet, and you want a fun, fast read about spies, you should go grab them, and then tell me about them!

Dragons are cool. And in stories, they add an element of danger or even personality that can really get people interested. Here are three great dragon books (besides <i>Eragon</i>) that will satisfy your desire for more of these scaly beasts.<br />
<br />
<b>1. <i>The Story of Owen- </i>E.K. Johnston: </b>The story of a modern day dragon slayer, as told by his friend, a classmate who agreed to tell his story. It's how one teen, a dragon-slaying prodigy, could protect his entire town from the dangers of dragons. Or could he? <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search?formids=target&lang=eng&suite=def&reservedids=lang%2Csuite&submitmode=&submitname=&target=the+story+of+owen" target="_blank">Click here to check it out. </a><br />
<br />
<b>2. <i>Talon- </i>Julie Kagawa: </b>Okay, so this one is about dragon shapshifters, but it's still cool. This is the first in a 5-book saga that is still in progress (book 3 was just released) but you can get in on it now! <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search/C__Stalon__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here to reserve a copy.</a><br />
<br />
<b>3. <i>Seraphina- </i>Rachel Hartman: </b>In this novel, it's the dragons that turn into humans to lend their brilliant logic and mathematical skills to humankind. A royal assassination casts doubt on the dragon kind, and a young musical prodigy has to help find the truth while hiding her own secrets. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search/C__Sseraphina__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here to get it!</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">KHCPL Teen Scene is brought to you by the staff of the KHCPL Teen Department.

We all know that sequels to books are dangerous creatures. They can go a thousand different ways, and oftentimes they don't beat out their predecessors. But here are three sequels I think went above and beyond.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Fire (Graceling 2)- </b></i><b>Kristen Cashore: </b>This companion novel soared for me. It had luscious characters, intense world-building, and a beautiful, twisting plot that I adored.<i> Graceling</i> was amazing, too, but <i>Fire </i>really hit it out of the park. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1454968__Sfire__P0%2C1__Orightresult__X7;jsessionid=0C225E2C86E0BB12979D6C3DE7610265?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here to put a hold on it. </a><br />
<br />
<b><i>Pretties (Uglies 2)- </i>Scott Westerfeld: </b>A lot of people loved <i>Uglies. </i>I didn't. I had no interest in continuing with the series, but way back when it was so hugely popular my friends convinced me to continue. <i>Pretties </i>is the only book in the series that I own. I love the Pretty world, the characters, the flavor of the writing, and really, it was the only one (apart from <i>Extras, </i>which is a different story) that I really enjoyed. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search/C__Spretties__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here to check it out. </a><br />
<br />
<b><i>Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy (Gallagher Girls 2)- </i>Ally Carter: </b>I talk about this book a lot. It's one of my go-to recommendations for someone looking for a light mystery with a little bit of fun. I liked it better than the first book, mostly because of the appearance of a certain character I won't name for fear of spoilers. But if you're interested, <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search?formids=target&lang=eng&suite=def&reservedids=lang%2Csuite&submitmode=&submitname=&target=hope+to+spy" target="_blank">click here. </a><br />

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.</span></div>

The defeated is sentenced to death.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Raised on tiny Ovchinin Island her whole life, Vika is eager for the chance to show off her talent in the grand capital of Saint Petersburg. But can she kill another enchanter—even when his magic calls to her like nothing else ever has?</span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">For Nikolai, an orphan, the Crown’s Game is the chance of a lifetime.

I think everyone loves the beach, or at least likes to go squish their toes in the sand. But I like to read on the beach, and here are three books you should take along to your summer destination!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Along for the Ride- </b></i><b>Sarah Dessen: </b>This beachy romance is a relaxing, fun read for lounging on the sand. Two insomniacs find ways to occupy their nights, and find themselves in the process. It's really a great one- and <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1453221__Salong%20for%20the%20ride__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">here's where you can get it at KHCPL.</a><br />
<br />
<b><i>This is What Happy Looks Like- </i>Jennifer Smith: </b>A light, easy read, perfect for basking in the sun with a smile on your face. It's not the ultimate literary novel of the ages, but it's fun, it's fast, and best of all, it's happy. So <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1522894__Sthis%20is%20what%20happy%20looks%20like__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">click here to get a copy. </a><br />
<br />
<b><i>The Royal We- </i>Heather Cocks + Jessica Morgan: </b>This one I haven't read. But I've heard great things! A modern royal story, it's a cheerful story that'll make you happy that you spent the time on it. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1584746__Sthe%20royal%20we__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here to reserve a copy. </a> <div class="blogger-post-footer">KHCPL Teen Scene is brought to you by the staff of the KHCPL Teen Department.

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">When you are a politician’s daughter who’s pretty much raised yourself, you learn everything can be planned or spun, or both. Especially your future.</span><br />

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">But that was before the scandal. Before having to be in the same house with her dad.

I read a review that said the love interest is a fantasy author, and there are lots emojis involved. And who doesn't like emojis??</span></span><br />
3. I love the cover. It's a little bit different from Matson's previous books, but it's still gorgeous.<br />

It's National Humor Month! And as such, we need to have some laughs. Here are three books that will definitely get you snickering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Heist Society- </b></i><b>Ally Carter: </b>A great series from the author of <i>Gallagher Girls, </i>this first in a new line matches mystery with humor as you follow a band of teenage cat burglars trying to break into a museum. It's a great story with a fun twist, and you can get a copy by <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1461431__Sheist%20society__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">clicking here. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Me and Earl and the Dying Girl- </b></i><b>Jesse Andrews: </b>Many people are familiar with this once since it was made into a move last year. What they may no know is that this novel of loss is also one of humor. If you think you can handle it, <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1499116__Sme%20and%20earl%20and%20the__P0%2C3__Orightresult__U__X6?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">click here</a> to hold a copy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>The Rest of Us Just Live Here- </i>Patrick Ness: </b>What if you aren't the hero? What if you aren't the one who's going to save the world? Well, sometimes you have to find the extraordinary in your regular life, and that's what Patrick Ness helps teens to do. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/search/C__Sthe%20rest%20of%20us%20just%20live%20here__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here</a> to place a hold.</div>

Reunited with her family, who have taken refuge with enemies of Khalid, and Tariq, her childhood sweetheart, she should be happy. But Tariq now commands forces set on destroying Khalid's empire. Shahrzad is almost a prisoner caught between loyalties to people she loves.

<b><i>Into the Dim- </i>Janet B. Taylor: </b>There's nothing like a good time travel story! When three teens find themselves sent back to the middle ages via an ancient wormhole, they must rescue someone they thought was dead and ward off the evil plots of a rival time-traveling society, all the while searching for a gemstone that will give them control over the wormhole. It's really an interesting look at a time in history most people don't think about. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1614051__Sinto%20the%20dim__Orightresult__X7;jsessionid=1D0ABEB5CEF44CCA5E2C7B8524CAAAC3?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here</a> to get it from KHCPL.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Vengeance Road- </i>Erin Bowman: </b>This is one of my absolute favorite takes on the Wild West. There isn't a lot of western historical fiction in the YA genre, and <i>Vengeance Road </i>set the bar high for future writers. I love the gritty heroine, the chase across wild desert, and the truth behind the setting. If you think you would, too, <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1595045__Svengeance%20road__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">check this one out here.</a><br />
<br />
<b><i>Blackhearts- </i>Nicole Castroman: </b>This one is described as a Blackbeard origin story, or "pre-pirate."<b> </b>As a member and co-founder of the #prepiratenation, I can safely say that this is one of my favorite books. Ever. It's got a great set of characters, perfect pacing, and excellent conflict, as well as a sequel coming in 2017. It's not a dangerous adventure on the high seas, but it peeks into what could have been the life of one of our most treasured bad guys. <a href="http://encore.khcpl.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1608261__Sblackhearts__Orightresult__U__X7?lang=eng&suite=cobalt" target="_blank">Click here </a>to get your copy.<br />
