Paperback. Condition: Good. The first in a series of dystopian novels with all the power and emotional punch of Lowrys The Giver.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A heartbreaking debut YA romance featuring a neuroatypical girl with a tragic history and the chronically ill boy trying to break the vault encasing her heart. Alvie Fitz doesn't fit in, and she doesn't care. She's spent years swallowing meds and bad advice from doctors and social workers. Adjust, adapt. Pretend to be normal. It sounds so easy. If she can make it to her eighteenth birthday without any major mishaps, she'll be legally emancipated. Free. But if she fails, she'll become a ward of the state and be sent back to the group home. All she wants is to be left alone to spend time with her friend, Chance, the one-winged hawk at the zoo where she works. She can bide her time with him until her emancipation. Humans are overrated anyway. Then she meets Stanley, a boy who might be even stranger than she is--a boy who walks with a cane, who turns up every day with a new injury, whose body seems as fragile as glass. Without even meaning to, she finds herself getting close to him. But Alvie remembers what happened to the last person she truly cared about. Her past stalks her with every step, and it has sharp teeth. But if she can find the strength to face the enemy inside her, maybe she'll have a chance at happiness after all. What happens when two people who believe they're broken find the one person who sees them as whole? Neurodivergent Romance: Features a fiercely independent, neuroatypical heroine, Alvie, who relates better to the one-winged hawk at the zoo than to other people. Outsiders Finding Love: She doesn't want to let anyone in. He's a boy named Stanley whose body is as fragile as glass. Together, they might not be so strange after all. Coming of Age Story: With her eighteenth birthday just around the corner, Alvie fights for her freedom against a system that wants to label her, all while navigating the terrifying world of first love. Mental Health Fiction: A raw and honest exploration of trauma, grief, and learning to trust when your past has sharp teeth and won't let go.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A stunningly imagined world, page-turning thrills, and a pair of unlikely heroes on an epic quest make this unique and immersive dark fantasy--from acclaimed author A. J. Steiger--perfect for fans of Holly Black and Kelly Barnhill. Simon Frost lives in a curious place, where magic is used by the very best Animists to do wondrous things--like call upon imps, wraiths, and all manner of monsters to right wrongs, deliver justice, and accomplish feats no human could achieve. Simon Frost is not one of those Animists, though he's been trying to become one for years.  When a plea arrives from a distant hamlet, preyed upon by an abominable monster, Simon sees the opportunity to finally prove his worth. But upon arriving in the tiny village, Simon finds not just a monster but a key to his past--and a pathway into an unbelievable future. A World of Monsters: Enter a world where Animists summon creatures from the Eldritch Realm. But in a land of imps, wraiths, and ghasts, the most dangerous monster might be the one you're sent to save. Forbidden Magic: Simon was taught that some powers are too dangerous to exist. But what if the greatest threat isn't the monster in the mountains, but the magic stirring inside him? Deep Family Secrets: The mission to a remote village unearths the truth about his mother's disappearance, his father's lies, and the sister he thought he'd lost forever. An Unlikely Hero: Fourteen-year-old Simon Frost is a failure as a magical apprentice. When he takes on a quest no one else wants, he'll have to find a strength he never knew he had to protect an unexpected new friend. …
