By: Robert Diamond Jul. 27, 2017
Geoffrey Girard pulls readers into the gripping world of conspiracy theories in Truthers. Katie Wallace has never given much thought to 9/11. But now her dad is locked in a mental institution after claiming to know what really happened. He insists the attacks were part of a government conspiracy and claims that Katie is the lone survivor of a massive cover-up. Hoping to free her dad, Katie sets out to investigate.
In A Dangerous Magic by Donald Hounam, fifteen-year-old Frank Sampson has a hard time following the rules. He also happens to be a highly gifted forensic sorcerer. So when the Bishop of Oxford is beheaded, Frank is called in to help solve the case. The mystery of the bishop's murder becomes even more complicated when Frank's magic shows him the discovered head doesn't actually belong to the headless corpse. To crack the case, he'll need to use dangerous sorcery, no matter the consequences.
Coert Voorhees's new release On the Free follows three teens participating in a wilderness program in Colorado. Santi agreed to join for one reason: less time in juvie. Amelia signed up to prove a point. Victor-well, no one knows why Victor's on the trip, but he's definitely not out to make friends. After a mudslide sweeps away other campers, the trio is left stranded in the Colorado wilderness. They'll have to band together to survive the elements, their demons, and each other.
In 2017 Carnegie Medal nominee Paper Butterflies, June's life at home with her stepmother and stepsister is a dark one-and a secret one. Not even her dad knows the truth, and she can't find the words to tell anyone else. Then June meets Blister. In him, she finds a glimmer of hope that perhaps she can find a way to fly far, far away. The Guardian called Lisa Heathfield's novel "[the] antithesis of cheerful summer romance, but readers feeling tough enough to traverse Heathfield's dark places will find transporting joy in her interludes of sunlight."
