Sweetheart

"Sweetheart (suh-weet-hart): Someone who is kind, friendly, and/or lovable. For reference, see Scarlett Kent. Seventeen-year-old Scarlett Kent likes the idea of love—in theory. She's just never had time for romance. Voted Most Likely to Succeed, founder of a youth mentoring program, and an aspiring professional violinist, Scarlett has goals—and a list of 'firsts' she'd like to complete before graduation. One thing that's not on her list: falling for Sam Bishop. Flirtatious jocks who sleep through class aren't her type—no matter how good Sam looks in his jersey. But when her car breaks down, Sam stops to help . . . which leads to an unexpected offer. Sam volunteers to help Scarlett complete her list. In return, she'll help him win back his ex. It's a sweetheart deal that should benefit everyone. But between kissing lessons and pretend dates, Scarlett realizes Sam is the perfect fake boyfriend. And if she's not careful, he could be her first real heartbreak. This book features two souls who're meant to be, one fake arrangement, so many heart-melting kisses, and answers the question: What happens when a perfectionist falls for a player?"

Enemies in the Orchard: A World War 2 Novel in Verse

"Set against the backdrop of WWII, this achingly beautiful middle grade novel in verse based on American history presents the dual perspectives of Claire, a Midwestern girl who longs to enter high school and become a nurse even as she worries for her soldier brother, and Karl, a German POW who's processing the war as he works on Claire's family farm. This poignant and moving story of an unlikely connection will stay with readers long after the final page. It's October 1944, and while Claire's older brother, Danny, is off fighting in World War II, her dad hires a group of German POWs to help with the apple harvest on their farm. Claire wants nothing to do with the enemies in the orchard, until she meets soft-spoken, hardworking Karl. Could she possibly have something in common with a German soldier? Karl, meanwhile, grapples with his role in the war as he realizes how many lies Hitler's regime has spread-and his complacency in not standing up against them. But his encounters with Claire give him hope that he can change and become the person he wants to be. Inspired by the little-known history of POW labor camps in the United States, this lyrical verse novel is told in alternating first-person poems by two young people on opposite sides of the war. Against a vivid backdrop of home front tensions and daily life, intimate entries reveal Claire's and Karl's hopes and struggles, and their growing friendship even as the war rages on. What are their chances of connection, of redemption, of peace? Enemies in the Orchard is: - A gorgeously written novel in verse for ages 9 and up - Historical fiction based on true events during WWII - A heartfelt story that explores connection, trauma, and hope "

In the City of Time

"Three science prodigies go on a time-traveling adventure to save the Earth—if they don't accidentally destroy it first. In 1891, Willa Marconi's life falls apart when her mentor at the University of Bologna unexpectedly dies. She loses her laboratory access and her stipend, but she refuses to let anyone take her research away. While testing her prototype radio equipment, she detects a mysterious signal and pursues its origin. In 2034, a cataclysmic event has rendered the Earth uninhabitable, and humankind survives by living inside of artificial worlds. Riley would do anything for Jaideep, who lost his parents in the collapse of the Bay Area pocket universe—and anything includes building a time machine so they can travel back to the nineteenth century, prevent the destabilization of the planet, and rewrite history. But the experiment goes wrong, accidentally pulling Willa forward in time and stranding the three of them in a strange, seemingly abandoned city. Now they've got a glitchy time machine, a scary android time cop hot on their trail, and some tangled temporal mechanics to unravel. Can they save the Earth when the Continuity Agency is dead-set on preserving the current timeline?"
