Kristen Simmons Article 5 “Everything fans of this genre are craving: a believable dystopian world, a thrilling story line, and perfect characters.” —Reading Teen
N
ew York, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC have been abandoned. The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes. There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior— instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren’t always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it’s hard to forget that people weren’t always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. In the three years since the war ended, Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow. That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings…the only boy Ember has ever loved.

Cory Doctorow Homeland The direct sequel to Little Brother—in which Marcus finds himself once again risking everything to take on creeping tyranny and surveillance
J
ust a few years after Little Brother, Marcus’s problems are back: California’s economy has collapsed, taking his parents and his university tuition with it. But M1k3y’s political past saves him and lands him a job as webmaster for a muckraking politician who promises reform. Things are never simple, though, as Marcus discovers when his onetime girlfriend Masha emerges from the political underground to give him a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump full of hard evidence of conscious corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. But Marcus can’t out himself, because if he does he’ll cost his employers the election. And he’s surrounded by friends and acquaintances who regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. Nobody—his current girlfriend, his weary parents, his progressive-minded employer, his hacker admirers—knows just how unsure of himself he really is.

The pacing and climactic scenes of this novel will surely keep…readers racing to the end.” —VOYA “This is a most enjoyable book! An elegant, complicated story, at times running into parallel action to perplex the pursuing reader. E. Rose Sabin is a writer to look out for.” —Joan Aiken, author of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase

Mindee Arnett The Nightmare Affair The first in a gripping new urban fantasy trilogy
S
ixteen-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare.
Literally. Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy, is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. Then Eli’s dream comes true. Now Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.

Key Points • The first in a new urban fantasy trilogy for teens, where the world-building of Harry Potter meets the sass and mystery-solving abilities of television cult classic Veronica Mars. • The main character, Dusty, is a feisty, endearing heroine, with plenty of the angst that appeals to teens today. • The Nightmare Affair takes an urban fantasy concept that is hugely popular in YA right now and puts a new, unique twist on it. • Premise should attract fans of the hit TV show The Secret Circle, which has a huge teen fanbase. Like these shows, The Nightmare Affair features a supernaturally talented teen trying to solve a dark and personal mystery with the help of friends. • This is Mindee Arnett’s first novel, but we have two more under contract, tentatively scheduled for March 2014 and March 2015.

David Sedaris for kids. • Filled with over 100 stock photos, captions, drawings, and timelines, the journal format is sure to appeal to boys and reluctant readers. • For fans of illustrated, quirky middle-grade fiction such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, and The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. • Writing novels and screenplays is L. A. Campbell’s third career (after advertising and motherhood). Her first screenplay, filled with “sophomoric, scatological jokes,” got her a Hollywood agent and a meeting with the producer of The Hangover. • The author is working on the sequel, which we will tentatively publish in Winter 2014.
