I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm
"When snow falls, sparks fly in this irresistible queer romance from Schneider Family Book Award and Stonewall Honor winner Mariama J. Lockington-for fans of She Gets the Girl and Jennifer Dugan. High school senior Lyric has always found Christmas to be the hardest season. While other kids got presents and family time by the fire, she was in and out of foster care. An up-and-coming make-up influencer and aspiring cosmetology student who loves a bold lip, Lyric definitely isn't looking for romance-not when opening up to someone feels a lot like asking to get hurt. Christmas is Juniper's favorite time of year. At least, it was, until her moms' separation. They're back together now, and Juniper hopes they'll stay that way. Because if they're happy, that means Juniper can leave for her gap-year trip after graduation (the one she has yet to tell her parents about, and can't really afford without their help). When a chance meeting brings these two opposite personalities together, they should clash . . . only they don't. Instead Lyric strikes a deal with Juniper: pose as her fake girlfriend in a series of holiday-themed social media posts and they can split the money from her beauty sponsorships. But soon the lines between what's real and what's not start to blur. Could it be that sparks are flying both in front of the camera and behind it? Told from dual perspectives, one in prose and one in verse, I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm is a cozy and modern love story from acclaimed author Mariama J. Lockington that's perfect for the winter holidays or all year round."

A Most Perilous World: The True Story of the Young Abolitionists and Their Crusade Against Slavery
"The stories of the four teenage children of prominent abolitionists before and during the U.S. Civil War combine to form a surprisingly familiar tapestry of struggle, disappointment, and ultimately hope. "Impeccable research and incredible details bring the stories of these four young people to life as they come of age in the years leading up to and during the Civil War."-Kip Wilson, award-winning author of White Rose George learned from his father, William Lloyd Garrison, that his life was supposed to be dedicated to abolition. Lewis's father, Frederick Douglass, believed that freedom had to be fought for. Charlotte Forten's prominent Philadelphia family gave her great expectations about what it meant to be a Forten-to be politically active, socially minded, and proud of being Black. Lucy McKim knew as the daughter of an anti-slavery leader her upbringing was unconventional. Since childhood, they had all been committed to the anti-slavery cause, and yet, as young adults in the years leading up to and during the Civil War, they realized they could not just do as their parents and relatives had done. They needed to make their own names, away from the often over-protective or disapproving shadows of the famous adults in their lives, and push the boundaries of their activism. Kristina R. Gaddy crafts a surprisingly contemporary braided coming-of-age narrative, supported by meticulous research and featuring dozens of primary documents. This is a true story of how a torch of resistance is passed and how a new generation makes its mark."

It Came from the Trees
"NATIONAL BESTSELLER • When her best friend is taken by a creature in the woods, Jenna is determined to save her in this scary story perfect for fans of Daka Hermon and Claribel A. Ortega! The wilderness is in Jenna's blood. Her Pap was the first Black park ranger at Sturbridge Reservation, and she practically knows the Owlet Survival Handbook by heart. But she's never encountered a creature like the one that took her best friend Reese. Her parents don't believe her; the police are worthless, following the wrong leads; and the media isn't connecting the dots between Reese's disappearance and a string of other attacks. Determined to save her friend, Jenna joins a new local scout troop, and ventures back into the woods. When the troop stumbles across suspicious signs: huge human-like footprints near the camp, scratch marks on trees, and ominous sounds from the woods, Jenna worries that whatever took Reese is back to take her too. Can she trust her new scout leader? And will her new friend Norrie-who makes her laugh and reminds her so much of Reese-believe her? After the unthinkable happens, the scouts, armed with their wits and toiletries, band together to fight the monster and survive the night."

The That Summer Night on Frenchmen Street
"Being there for her family is the most important thing to Jessamine Monet. And her family is complicated. Her twin brother Joel has a secret boyfriend, and her transgender cousin Solange is flourishing, despite the disapproval of Solange’s dying mother. Yet Jessamine doesn’t mind being caught up in family drama. Being busy keeps the water at bay—the water of memories, of Katrina, of past trauma. So when Tennessee Williams—a rich white boy named after the writer—asks her out, she hesitantly says yes. He’ll be like a library book, she figures, something to read and return. Falling for him is another burden she can’t afford to carry. Tennessee has always lived his life at the mercy of his mom’s destructive creativity and his dad’s hypermasculine expectations. Jessamine’s caring and aloof nature is a surprisingly welcome distraction. While she fights her attraction to him, Tennessee is pulled into her inner family circle and develops a friendship with Joel’s boyfriend, Saint Baptiste. Together Saint and Tennessee bond over the difficulty of loving the emotionally unavailable Monet twins. As senior year progresses, old traumas and familial pressures rise higher than hurricane waves. Can this group of friends make peace with each other, their families, and most importantly, with themselves?"

"You can only hide from your nightmares for so long. Seventeen-year-old Hylee Williams didn’t ask to disappear. She didn’t ask to move from Kansas City, Kansas out to the suburbs in Missouri. But she did disappear, and not only that, but when she vanished from our world, she materialized in a dark, twisted version of the night that changed her life forever: the night her older brother went missing. Just as Hylee realizes this moment could be the key to unraveling the truth about her brother, she’s yanked away from the dark place back to our world. Craving a sense of normalcy, she goes to a party with her best friend—where she meets Eilam Roads. Tall, handsome, and undeniably, inexplicably familiar, Hylee can’t help the pull she feels towards him. It’s a classic teen girl-meets-boy situation, until it happens again. She disappears, right in front of him. Together, Hylee and Eilam investigate the truth about time, space, and reality, with Hylee increasingly convinced her time travel holds the key to saving her brother. But the more they learn, the more Hylee begins to see darkness lurking in her world—and in herself. Britney S. Lewis’s sophomore novel combines the quotable relatability, swoony romance, and emotional resonance of John Green with the surrealist horror imagery and razor-sharp wit of Jordan Peele. At once haunting and enchanting and entirely unforgettable."
