Cool & New
January 2013
January's roundup of Cool & New Books includes A.G. Howard's debut, SPLINTERED, in which Alyssa Liddell must undo the mistakes her great-great-great-grandmother Alice made while in Wonderland in order to break the family curse; WHAT WE SAW AT NIGHT by Jacquelyn Mitchard, in which three teens, who are limited to nighttime activities because of a genetic disease, oversee something they shouldn't while doing Parkour; and Teri Terry's SLATED where Kyla's memory and personality has been erased as punishment for a crime she can't remember committing...this is her last chance because the government is watching to make sure she plays by the rules this time.
Among the paperbacks releasing this month are Marissa Meyer's science fiction take on Cinderella, CINDER, where a deadly plague ravages New Beijing and Earth's fate hinges on one girl; CLEOPATRA'S MOON by Vicky Alvear Shecter follows Selene, the daughter of Antony and Cleopatra, as she faces the loss of all she's ever loved during war with Roman Emperor Octavianus; and Jennifer E. Smith's THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, in which 17-year-old Hadley meets the perfect boy while stuck at JFK, late for her father's second wedding.
