Book excerpt: Cammy Hall is what anyone would describe as a loser. She lives with her grandparents and has adopted their way of life… right down to the comfortable shoes and early bedtime. And can she help it that she actually likes to knit? At school, her skills with knitting needles and some yarn go completely unappreciated: people like Bekka Bell reign while Cammy and her best friend, the fearless Danish exchange student Gerdi, watch from the sidelines. Cammy’s used to being an outsider; after years of humiliating moments, her goal is simply to fly under the radar. Then she suddenly starts receiving mysterious text messages that lead her right to all the embarrassing secrets about the most popular kids in school. Cammy never expected to be able to climb up the high school food chain, and the agenda of the texter may be questionable—but how can she possibly give up the chance to be Queen?

Book excerpt: Thalia Throne’s summer plans are simple. She’s going to work part-time at her aunt’s diner—a popular hangout for teenagers like her—and also have a touch of fun. The fun factor only increases when Thalia’s long-distance best friend, Sophie, arrives in town from Scotland. But instead of adding to the fun, Sophie’s sudden appearance causes nothing but trouble. Shockingly, Thalia comes face to face with trolls like out of some horrible fairy tale. The trolls try to kidnap Thalia, but Mike rescues her. He’s a friend who now claims their lives are tied together by destiny. Sophie is somehow involved, too, and in just as much danger as Thalia and Mike. The three friends find themselves ducking monsters at every turn. It turns out Thalia is the key to bringing The Dark One back to the mortal world. Minions of The Dark One will do anything to get to her first, so she’ll have to not only lean on her friends but also her own bravery to get out of this one alive—especially as her feelings for Mike take a romantic turn. This summer could cost Thalia her life ... or be the season of dreams coming true.

Book excerpt: The most current and complete guide to a favorite teen genre, this book maps current releases along with perennial favorites, describing and categorizing fantasy, paranormal, and science fiction titles published since 2006. Speculative fiction continues to be of consuming interest to teens, so if you work with that age group, keeping up with the explosion of new titles in this category is critical. Likewise, understanding the many genres and subgenres into which these titles fall—wizard fantasy, alternate worlds, fantasy mystery, dystopian fiction, science fantasy, and more—is also key if you want to motivate young readers and direct them to books they'll enjoy. Written to help you master a complex array of genres and titles, this guide includes more than 1,500 books, most published since 2006, organizing them by genre, subgenre, and theme. Subgenres growing in popularity such as "steampunk" are highlighted to keep you current with the latest trends. The guide will serve three audiences. Of course, you can turn to it as you help your teenage patrons select the books and genres that will interest them most. Teen readers, whether devoted fans or newcomers, can use it themselves to find titles and subgenres they might like. In addition, the guide will help teachers and parents match students with the right books.

Download or read book Empty Beds Without Auditions written by N. Sinclair Haynes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In South Florida, the constant heat keeps old wounds from ever healing in corpses that are never found. Instead, the open wounds of the victims become infected and fester over time. The ensuing fever in the dead bodies that are never laid to rest causes the mind of the living to act irrationally, and the soul also becomes contaminated as a result. There are only two cures. One can be institutionalized in the Kreskie Institute, the largest mental health facility in the Southeastern United States, or they can seek revenge. Join the small band of individuals from the coastal city of Morninglory by the Beach and the newly constructed town of Harbour Village who reluctantly team together to find the truth. Their individual interests in discovering the truth is the only thing that stops them from tearing apart their new partnership. When you’re not sure you can even trust your own partner, how can you believe in coma patients committing murders, talking dogs, crooked politicians, ambitious law enforcement officials, messengers from God, and the high priestess of Harbour Village. At the Kreskie Institute, the only thing visible to the naked eye that separates the administration from the patients is the clothes that they wear. The best advice to visitors and employees to the Kreskie Institute is to dress well because it is much more difficult to tell the truth from a lie, and the nearest help is miles away through the swampland of the Spooky Isles. No one can hear you if you scream for help, and even if they could hear you, would they believe you?
