A Certain October
Written by Angela Johnson
Read by Harlie Vaughn

Three-time Coretta Scott King Award winner Angela Johnson writes a wrenching, honest audiobook about surviving the unimaginable and finding a way to go on.

Scotty compares herself to tofu: no flavor unless you add something. And it’s true that Scotty’s friends, Misha and Falcone, and her brother, Keone, make life delicious. But when a terrible accident occurs, Scotty feels responsible for the loss of someone she hardly knew, and the world goes wrong. She cannot tell what is a dream and what is real. Her friends are having a hard time getting through to her and her family is preoccupied with their own trauma. But the prospect of a boy, a dance, and the possibility that everything can fall back into place soon help Scotty realize that she is capable of adding her own flavor to life.

With artfully spare prose, acclaimed and award-winning author Angela Johnson explores the ramifications of unexpected death in this compelling coming-of-age story.

Los Dominios del Onix Negro. La elevacion
Written by Adriana Gonzalez Marquez

Atraviesa los límites de la realidad, salva al mundo y encuentra a tu amor. ¿Y si fuera algo más que un sueño?

Vanessa tiene 17 años, está en el último semestre de la preparatoria y tiene una vida muy aburrida (según ella). Lo único que hace que sus días sean tolerables son sus sueños, los cuales la llevan a lugares muy apacibles. Lo malo es que últimamente estos no han sido cordiales. Si bien en ellos se ha topado con Erick, un apuesto joven que se siente irremediablemente atraído por Vanessa, también ha estado en un par de ocasiones en peligro de muerte.
A pesar de esos riesgos, la chica se ha obsesionado de tal modo con Erick, que ya no pone atención a nada de lo que ocurre en su vida cotidiana, aunque esto le cueste la posibilidad de hacerse novia del alumno más guapo (y real) de toda la escuela.
Tras varias semanas de incertidumbre, el mundo de Vanessa se desmorona cuando descubre que nunca ha soñado, sólo se ha transportado a una realidad alterna, la cual se encuentra amenazada por un ser malévolo que se está apoderando de las almas de sus habitantes. Pero el panorama no es tan desolador como aparenta. Antiguas profecías señalan a Vanessa como la elegida para salvar (o llevar a su destrucción) a los habitantes de esa realidad, entre ellos el apuesto Erick, quien ha jurado proteger a la joven aun a costa de su propia vida (y de paso ganarse su corazón).

La historia continúa en Los dominios del Ónix Negro: La conexión.

¡¡¡Hola!!! Soy Bat Pat. Les voy a contar una historia que les pondrá los pelos de punta... ¿están preparados?

¡Hogar, dulce hogar! Era una gris y perezosa mañana de domingo, y en casa de los Silver todos dormíamos como murciélagos. Bueno, todos menos Rebecca, quien se había despertado a las siete y había salido a pasear (¿esta chica no descansa nunca, o qué?). De pronto, algo nos puso a todos en pie: una paloma mensajera había traído noticias frescas (y fantasmagóricas) para mí…

Hacía un frío gélido y los señores Silver habían decidido llevarnos a la feria de otoño de Fogville. Al llegar, me quedé alucinado: ¡aquello parecía el circo de las maravillas!

¡Por todos los mosquitos! La familia Silver y yo estábamos disfrutando de un tranquilísimo día de campo en Castle Park cuando el lago del parque empezó a hervir como una olla en la estufa.

A Summer of Sundays by Lindsay Eland

A Summer of Sundays
Written by Lindsay Eland

Fans of The Mother Daughter Book Club (Heather Vogel Fredericks) and The Wedding Planner's Daughter (Coleen Paratore) series will fall in love with the humor, classic charm, and very determined heronine of Lindsay Eland's sophomore novel.

When you're the third of six kids, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle, but Sunday Fowler is determined that this summer she'll find the one thing that makes her stand out from her siblings.

And when she discovers a silver box in the basement of the library her parents are renovating, she might just have found something to gain her the attention she so craves. Inside is a series of letters addressed to "The Librarian" and a manuscript. But who wrote them? With the help of annoying neighbor-turned-new-friend Jude, Sunday is determined to track down the author. And when she unveils this novel to the world, she'll be famous!

But uncovering this manuscript means stirring up secrets that some people in the town hoped to keep buried. And Sunday must decide if some things -- loyalty, trust, friendship -- are worth more than her name in the headlines.

This title will publish simultaneously in electronic book form (978-1-60684-413-7).

The Book of Blood and Shadow
Written by Robin Wasserman

One night. One body, broken in a pool of blood.
One killer, lost in the shadows.
One girl, left behind.
Left alone, to face the consequences.
To find the truth.
To avenge the dead.

One night is all it takes to change Nora Kane's life forever. Her best friend is dead; her boyfriend has vanished. And the trail of blood leads straight back to her: The person who might be responsible. The person who might be next.

Desperate to save the people she loves and determined to find justice for the ones she's lost, Nora unearths a dark web of secret societies and shadowy conspirators, all driven by a mad desire to possess something that might not even exist. Something to which Nora herself might hold the key. It turns out her night of blood is just one piece in a puzzle that spans continents and centuries—and solving it may be the only way she can save her own life.
