A Librarian Reads…

American Street by Ibi Zoboi

Coming to American from Haiti was supposed to be a start to a new life for Fabiola and her mother. But her mother is detained and Fabiola is sent on to her aunt and cousins in Detroit without her. All she wants is to be reunited with her mother, even if it means going back to Haiti. But as she settles into a routine with her family, Fabiola comes to find that she has not left her old life behind at all. Everywhere she looks are signs that the lwas, the Vodou spirit guides, are all around her. And Fabiola must make a choice, whether to accept the life she has been left with or create the one she always dream of.

This is a powerful novel that looks at many important issues: immigration, drug abuse, violence, spirituality, and family. Highly recommended for readers in high school and up who enjoy a blend of urban realism and mysticism.

Kiss Me in Paris by Catherine Rider

Last Pick by Jason Walz (Graphic Novel)
Three years ago, aliens invaded Earth and abducted everyone they deemed useful. The only ones spared were those too young, too old, or too “disabled” to be of value. Living on Earth under the aliens’ harsh authoritarian rule, humanity’s rejects do their best to survive. Their captors never considered them a threat–until now. Twins Sam and Wyatt are ready to chuck their labels and start a revolution. It’s time for the kids last picked to step into the game.

Nightingale by Amy Lukavics
June is everything a young woman in 1951 shouldn’t be–independent, rebellious, a dreamer. She longs to travel, to attend college and to write the dark science fiction stories that consume her waking hours. But her mother grooms her to be a perfect little homemaker while her father pushes her to marry his business partner’s domineering son. When June resists, her whole world is shattered–suburbia isn’t the only prison for different women.

A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney
Life in real-world Atlanta isn’t always so simple, as Alice juggles an overprotective mom, a high-maintenance best friend, and a slipping GPA. Keeping the Nightmares at bay is turning into a full-time job. But when Alice’s handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she’s ever gone before. And she’ll need to use everything she’s learned in both worlds to keep from losing her head…literally.

What They Don’t Know by Nicole Maggi
Mellie has always been the reliable friend, the good student, the doting daughter. But when an unspeakable act leads her to withdraw from everyone she loves, she is faced with a life-altering choice―a choice she must face alone. Lise stands up―and speaks out―for what she believes in. And when she notices Mellie acting strangely, she gets caught up in trying to save her…all while trying to protect her own secret. One that might be the key to helping Mellie.
