How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
"Every war has turning points and every person too.”
Fifteen-year-old Daisy is sent from Manhattan to England to visit her aunt
and cousins she’s never met: three boys near her age, and their little
sister. Her aunt goes away on business soon after Daisy arrives. The next
day bombs go off as London is attacked and occupied by an unnamed enemy.
As power fails, and systems fail, the farm becomes more isolated. Despite
the war, it’s a kind of Eden, with no adults in charge and no rules, a
place where Daisy’s uncanny bond with her cousins grows into something
rare and extraordinary. But the war is everywhere, and Daisy and her
cousins must lead each other into a world that is unknown in the scariest,
most elemental way. |
| Feed
by M. T. Anderson For Titus and his friends,
it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party
during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet
Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to
malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing
inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a
beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its
omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in
the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., M.
T. Anderson has created a not-so-brave new world — and a smart, savage
satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future
that veers unnervingly close to the here and now. |

Blind Beauty by
K.M. Peyton Tessa has major attitude and an
impossible dream—not a great combination for success. But she believes
that fate has delivered the ungainly horse Buffoon to her, and Tessa is
determined never to be separated from him. What’s more, she intends to one
day become a jockey and ride Buffoon in the Grand National. But how can a
girl with a violent temper and a "can’t do" philosophy gain the physical
strength, courage, and money needed to become a jockey—especially when her
stepfather would like nothing better than to see her fail? Determination
and grit may not be enough—but Tessa’s not going to let go without giving
it her all. |
