Seventeen-year-old Eleanor is nothing like her hero Eleanor Roosevelt. She is timid and altogether uncertain that she has much to offer the world. And as World War II rages overseas, Eleanor is consumed with worry for her Jewish relatives in Europe. When a chance encounter proves her to be a one-in-a-generation maths whiz—a fact she has worked hard all her life to hide—Eleanor gets recruited by the US Army and entrusted with the ultimate challenge: to fine-tune a top-secret weapon that will help America defeat its enemies in World War II and secure the world’s freedom. This could be her chance to help save her family in Poland. Soon, she’s swept from the basement of an Ivy League engineering school to the desert of California to an Army Air Corps base at Pearl Harbor, and finally, she takes to the skies above the South Pacific. But before she can solve this complicated problem, she must learn to unlock a bigger mystery: herself. The critically acclaimed author of The Poetry of Secrets, Cambria Gordon weaves an extraordinary story of remarkable courage and the will to unearth our deepest secrets, based on previously undiscovered true events.

SALES POINTS:

• Cambria Gordon is well-connected in Hollywood and also the Jewish journalism world.

• World War II remains an evergreen topic in the YA historical lit space and Gordon writes about a little-known and relatively unexplored, feminist aspect of this history.

Everyone has secrets. Mags has teeth. Magdalena Herrera is about to graduate high school, but she already feels like an adult with serious responsibilities: caring for her ailing grandmother; working a part-time job; clandestine makeouts with a girl who has a boyfriend. And then there’s her secret, which pulls her into the basement each night, drains her of energy, and leaves her bleeding. A secret that could hurt and even kill if it ever got out—like it did once before. So Mags keeps her head down, isolated in her small desert community. That is, until her childhood friend Nessa comes back to town, bringing vivid memories of the past, an intoxicating glimpse of the future, and a secret of her own. Mags won’t get attached, of course. She’s always been strong enough to survive without anyone’s help. But when the darkness starts to close in on them both, Mags will have to drag her secret into the daylight and choose between risking everything ... or having nothing left to lose.

• In her most ambitious graphic novel yet, Ostertag explores issues of identity, family and selfacceptance with magic and heart.

Jack Skellington is the adored Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, but he has grown tired of leading the usual scares every year. Then he stumbles upon a mysterious tree-shaped door deep in the Hinterlands and falls straight into Christmas Town—an enchanting place like no other, full of sparkling snow, merry elves and twinkling lights.

Reinvigorated, Jack returns to Halloween Town and recruits the citizens for his new plan: to organise Christmas themselves! But even with aid from his loyal dog, Zero, and the resourceful rag doll Sally, challenges lurk around every corner. Sally has a terrible vision of the holiday ending in disaster and the mysterious Oogie Boogie hides in the shadows. Will Jack’s dream of creating the perfect Christmas come true ... or is it destined to become an utter nightmare?

Sally has mostly loved her creepy hometown of Halloween Town. But lately, she can’t help but want something more. In a place full of the frightening, you’d think living in the shadows wouldn’t feel so ... isolating. She knows she could do so much more if she wasn’t always stuck in the lab of her creator, Dr. Finkelstein.

Soon Sally is surprised to learn that the Pumpkin King, Jack, is longing for a change of his own. Determined to find a solution for them both, Sally follows a vision that could be the key to changing their fates. But the more time Sally spends in the strange, jolly land of Christmas Town, the more suspicious she grows of the seemingly idyllic winter wonderland. What is lurking behind those dancing sugar plums? And what exactly does it mean to be put on the Naughty List? Will Sally be able to save the best of both towns— before it’s too late?
