WELCOME, CALLER, THIS IS CHLOE by Shelley Coriell
THE PECULIARS by Maureen Doyle McQuerry
MISFIT By Jon Skovron
Chloe is suddenly ousted from the cool crowd by her so-called best friend and is forced to join the school radio station as part of a class project. She’ll soon have to learn how to think first and speak later.
A voyage to Scree to find her father makes Lena question if she is a Peculiar herself. Great for fans of steampunk.
Jael thought she had her secret under control, until her sixteenth birthday, when a mysterious present unlocks the story of her family’s dangerous history and Jael’s untapped potential.
