Enchanted by Althea Kontis

A richly woven retelling of fairy tales in a story both lyrical and mesmerizing.  Sunday Woodcutter is not easily wooed but when she meets a Frog, friendship blossoms, and then love.  Curses are easy, but love?  That’s another story altogether--and stories are Sunday’s bread and butter.

Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt

"When Mallory discovers that her boyfriend, Jeremy, is cheating on her with an online girlfriend, she swears off boys. She also swears off modern technology. Inspired by a list of goals her grandmother made in 1962, Mallory decides to "go vintage" and return to a simpler time (when boyfriends couldn't cheat on you online)."


Defy by Sara. B. Larson.

"Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her"  


The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

"a story about what it’s like to travel that strange course through the uncharted territory of high school. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. Of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up."
