Who wouldn't rather have been abducted by aliens than go to the prom alone? About: It’s Superbad meets Spaceballs in this hilarious extraterrestrial road trip!Just a few days before prom, Bennett pulls off something he never imagined possible: his dream girl, Sophie, agrees to be his date. Moments afterward, however, he watches Sophie get abducted by aliens in the middle of the New Mexico desert. Faced with a dateless prom (and likely kidnapping charges), Bennett does the only thing he can think of: he catches a ride into outer space with a band of extraterrestrial musicians to bring her back. Can he navigate alien concert venues, an extraterrestrial reality show, and the band’s outlandish egos to rescue his date in time for the big dance? Fans of King Dork and Winger won’t want to miss this! |
SEEKER by Arwen Elys Dayton
Science fiction and fantasy are often grouped together on the shelves (a practice I don't support). The cover of SEEKER makes it look like it should be squarely on the fantasy side, but with an athame that can slice through the threads of time and space, the science fiction elements are there. I'm curious to see how fantasy and science fiction blend in this one. About: The night Quin Kincaid takes her Oath, she will become what she has trained to be her entire life. She will become a Seeker. This is her legacy, and it is an honor.As a Seeker, Quin will fight beside her two closest companions, Shinobu and John, to protect the weak and the wronged. Together they will stand for light in a shadowy world. And she'll be with the boy she loves—who's also her best friend. But the night Quin takes her Oath, everything changes. Being a Seeker is not what she thought. Her family is not what she thought. Even the boy she loves is not who she thought. And now it's too late to walk away. |
THE ALEX CROW by Andrew Smith
THE ALEX CROW is profane, provacative, and uncomfortably funny. About: “Andrew Smith is the Kurt Vonnegut of YA . . . [Smith’s novels] are the freshest, richest, and weirdest books to hit the YA world in years.”— Entertainment WeeklySkillfully blending multiple story strands that transcend time and place, award-winning GRASSHOPPER JUNGLE author Andrew Smith chronicles the story of Ariel, a refugee who is the sole survivor of an attack on his small village. Now living with an adoptive family in Sunday, West Virginia, Ariel's story is juxtaposed against those of a schizophrenic bomber and the diaries of a failed arctic expedition from the late nineteenth century . . . and a depressed, bionic reincarnated crow. |
