SUMMER AT FORSAKEN LAKE 108949
Knopf  
June 2012 336pp.
Nicholas Mettleson’s summer vacation at his uncle’s lake house in Ohio isn’t turning out at all as he expected.  After all, he’s from New York, and everyone knows that life out in the country is boring, right?  His adventures begin when he discovers a partially completed 8mm movie titled The Seaweed Strangler his dad made about a million years ago in the same house.  When he finds out that the story is based on the mysterious death of one man and the disappearance of another long ago on the lake, he is determined to solve the mystery - and to finish the movie his dad started.

Nicholas is joined by his twin sisters, a neighborhood girl named Charlie (who throws a mean curveball and who just happens to be the daughter of his dad’s old girlfriend), and his uncle, who teaches them all to sail in the beautiful Goblin, which he built himself.  The filming takes them to the most remote corner of the lake, where Nicholas and his alter-ego Blast Bennington make a surprising - and puzzling - discovery. 

A second, more humorous mystery involves an old boat hanging from the rafters in the barn behind the house and their uncle’s old girlfriend.  The re-launching of that boat, the attempt at rekindling an old flame by well-meaning children, and the “world premiere” of the finally completed The Seaweed Strangler  make for an entertaining conclusion.

TRICKSTER'S GIRL /01 RAVEN DUET 110420
Houghton Mifflin  
January 2011 288pp.   e-MS:282pp.
In the year 2098 America isn't so different from the USA of today. But, in a post-9/11 security-obsessed world, "secured" doesn't just refer to borders between countries, it also refer to borders between states. Teenagers still think they know everything, but there is no cure for cancer, as Kelsa knows first-hand from watching her father die.
 
The night Kelsa buries her father, a boy appears. He claims magic is responsible for the health of Earth, but  human damage disrupts its flow. The planet is dying.
 
Kelsa has the power to reverse the damage, but first she must accept that magic exists and see beyond her own pain in order to heal the planet.

Booklist: "The world’s trees are dying because of a deadly bacterium released by terrorists. But, as 15-year-old Kelsa learns when she meets a gorgeous young man named Raven, the real danger to the planet is the weakening of the leys (subterranean rivers of natural and magical energy that maintain the earth’s ecosystem) by human interference. Kelsa is astonished to find out that she alone has the magical powers necessary to heal them, and with the help of Raven, who is really a spirit from another world who has assumed the form of the legendary Native American trickster and shape-shifter, she courageously undertakes this dangerous quest. Bell’s latest blend of science fiction and fantasy at times seems a bit contrived, with the laws of magic being invented as plot twists dictate. Nevertheless, the ecological theme and the trendy device of investing a teen with superpowers will doubtless please the author’s many fans, who will look forward to the inevitable sequel. Grades 7-12." --Michael Cart

EVERYTHING GOES: ON LAND 110366
HarperCollins  
Sep 11  
EVERYTHING GOES is a new preschool series about vehicles, bursting with all the exciting, intricate, and fascinating fun of cars, planes, boats, and more!!

Beginning with EVERYTHING GOES: ON LAND, these oversized picture books and other upcoming formats are interactive play experiences made especially for the curious, imaginative kid in all of us. While reading the book, readers can find hidden numbers, spot things that don’t belong, and more!

Brian Biggs, a former graphic novel artist and animator, makes illustrations for books, posters, puzzles, and games. Watch videos and find out more at www.MrBiggs.com.

Praise for EVERYTHING GOES: ON LAND:

“Illustrator Biggs's first solo outing launches a transportation-based series with a cartooned survey of vehicles that populate the roads and rails. Using the framing device of Henry and his father driving to pick up Henry's mother at the train station, Biggs (the Brownie & Pearl series) creates a series of bustling landscapes full of vehicles, real and whimsical, which provide conversation fodder for father and son… While it's too early to declare Biggs the next Richard Scarry or Martin Handford, this series has plenty of potential: Biggs has a cheery cartooning style that's reminiscent of R. Crumb and ideal for populating his oversized pages with a multitude of players and detail. With running visual jokes and mini-narratives adding to the fun, Biggs gives readers lots to take in and enjoy.” – Publishers Weekly

EVERYTHING GOES is a major, multi-book /multi-platform project for Harper Collins with oversized hardcover picture books as the anchor for the series.  One picture book will come out per year: EVERYTHING GOES: ON LAND in Fall 2011, IN AIR in Fall 2012, and IN THE SEA in Fall 2013. 

And one I-Can-Read Book (short illustrated chapter book) will come out per year – EVERTHING GOES: HENRY IN A JAM in Summer 2012, HENRY GOES SKATING in Fall 2012, and a third Winter themed title in early Spring 2013.

Working title MENDING FENCES. - Austin Parker is on a journey to bring truth, beauty, and meaning to his life.

Austin Parker is never going to see his eighteenth birthday. At the rate he’s going, he probably won’t even see the end of the year. The doctors say his chances of surviving are slim to none even with treatment, so he’s decided it’s time to let go.

But before he goes, Austin wants to mend the broken fences in his life. So with the help of his best friend, Kaylee, Austin visits every person in his life who touched him in a special way. He journeys to places he’s loved and those he’s never seen. And what starts as a way to say goodbye turns into a personal journey that brings love, acceptance, and meaning to Austin’s life.

Megan Bostic lives in Tacoma, Washington. This is her first book for teens.

"Bostic writes this graceful, affecting tale without pretension...Perhaps it's because of that simplicity that the story concludes with such a powerful emotional punch." --Kirkus

Arthur Levine /Scholastic  
Nov 11 368pp.
Prisons, poisons, and passions combine in a gorgeously written fantasy noir by the author of the Morris Award-winning A CURSE DARK AS GOLD.

As a pickpocket, Digger expects to spend a night in jail every now and then. But she doesn't expect to find Lord Durrel Decath there as well--or to hear he's soon to be executed for killing his wife.
Durrel once saved Digger's life, and when she goes free, she decides to use her skills as a thief, forger, and spy to investigate his case and return the favor. But each new clue only opens up more mysteries. While Durrel's marriage was one of convenience, his behavior has been more impulsive than innocent. His late wife had an illegal business on the wrong side of the civil war raging just outside the city gates. Digger keeps finding forbidden magic in places it has no reason to be.
And it doesn't help that she may be falling in love with a murderer . . .

LOVE AND HAIGHT 107815
Henry Holt and Company  
March 2012 188pp.
Two girls, two weeks, and too much hippie love….

It’s 1971, and seventeen-year-old Chloe and her best friend, MJ, head to San Francisco to ring in the New Year. But Chloe has an ulterior motive—and a secret. She’s pregnant and has devised a plan not to be. In San Francisco’s flower-power heyday, it was (just about) legal to end her pregnancy. 
 
But as soon as the girls cross the Golden Gate, Chloe’s furtive scheme starts to unravel in ways both large and small. Desperate to take control of her body and her life, Chloe tells MJ a single lie. The lie escalates, as lies inevitably do, until she betrays everyone she cares about. Her groovy aunt, Kiki, who’s offered the girls a place to crash. Her self-absorbed mother meditating back in Phoenix. And perhaps most achingly, the boy she wishes she’d waited for.

With time running out, the lies come crashing down—during the city’s annual Nude Relay Race, of all places. Chloe is forced to confess the truth, and admit to others, and herself, that some of life’s decisions are too big to face alone.

In the Mecca of easy love, it seems, some things aren’t so easy.

Random House Children's Books  
  198pp.
Thirteen-year-old Hope Toriella lives in a town of inventors struggling to recover from the green bombs of WWIII that wiped out nearly all the earth’s population. Inventing has made life possible in White Rock, and it’s how the town views a person’s worth. But Hope would much rather sneak off to cliff dive into the Bomb’s Breath— the deadly band of compressed air that covers their valley— than fail at yet another invention. The town is filled with excellent inventors; they even invented Ameiphus, the medicine that cures the deadly Shadel’s Sickness that has run rampant since the bombs.

When bandits not only discover White Rock has the cure for the sickness, but find a way into their protected valley, they invade. With a two day deadline to finish making this year’s batch of Ameiphus and no ingredients to make more, the town is left to choose whether to hand over the medicine and die from Shadel’s over the next year, or die fighting the bandits now. Help lies in a neighboring town, but the bandits count everyone fourteen and older each hour. Hope realizes that she and a couple of friends might be the only ones who can leave to make the dangerous trek through the Bomb’s Breath and over the snow-covered mountain. Inventing won’t help her make it through alive, but the daring and recklessness that usually gets her into trouble just might.

INVASION OF THE DOGNAPPERS 110352
Egmont US  
Apr 12 208pp.
Kirkus:

INVASION OF THE DOGNAPPERS (reviewed on January 15, 2012)
A rash of dognappings prompts a young sleuth’s obvious (to him) conclusion that space aliens are to blame.
Seeing several dogs suddenly vanish, leaving collars and leashes behind, 10-year-old Logan gallops over the understandable doubts of his friends and his open-minded single mom to organize an “Intergalactic Canine Rescue Unit.” Under its aegis, he stakes out his own aging and comically flatulent hound Bubba and cruises the ragged edge of a major grounding by haring off after supposed suspects without parental notification. Being the sort of author who could play his premise either way, Jennings (Guinea Dog, 2010; Beastly Arms, 2001) chucks in clues and red herrings galore but keeps readers in the dark—until, more than halfway through, Logan’s determined investigation brings him face to snout with the culprits and lands him penned, naked, among the missing canines. Rising ingeniously to the triple challenge of escaping, negotiating the return of the purloined pooches and keeping his clothes on (they keep disappearing), Logan proves a protagonist worth admiring—displaying a level of focus and dedication matched only by his long-standing, gonzo obsession with aliens.
Just another alien invasion headed off by solid detective work. (Science fiction. 10-12)

VALKYRIE RISING 107720
Harper Teen  
Summer 2012 310pp.
Ellie Overholt isn't exactly looking forward to wasting a whole summer with her grandmother in a tiny fishing village. Even in Norway, she won't be able to get out from under the shadow of her perfect older, Graham who decreed that it's suicide for any guy in school to talk to his sister. Things go from bad to worse when Graham drags his best friend Tuck along. Nothing can get under Ellie's skin like Tuck's never-ending stream of smartass remarks. Or make her swoon like his smug smile. Too bad he's a player and she's over-guarded and untouchable.

When they arrive, Maloy isn't the sleepy town they remember. Amid hushed rumors few things are certain. Young men are disappearing. People are whispering about supernatural beings. All signs point to the impossible-mythical Valkyries kidnapping young men, holding them hostage in Odin's hall of the dead, Valhalla, and training them to be part of his undead army. An army designed to break down the barriers between Valhalla and world as we know it, releasing Odin and destroying the world.

After single-handedly thwarting a Valkyrie abduction, Ellie realizes it's not just the town that's changed. Something ancient and powerful in her blood has awakened. Valkyries are targeting her family. And it doesn't seem to be a coincidence. When her grandmother mysteriously disappears and Graham is kidnapped, it's up to Ellie and Tuck to find Valhalla and rescue them both. And try not to fall in love with each other in the process, something Graham would never forgive. But Tuck has secrets of his own, and if Graham doesn't tear their relationship apart, those secrets just might.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ME 109018
Arthur Levine /Scholastic  
Sep 12 283pp.
  THE DORK DIARIES meets ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA in this funny, inventive novel.
  Innovative, attention-getting, instantly communicable format
  Laugh-out-loud funny, with characters as real as the people next door
  Short entries will appeal to struggling or reluctant readers
  Karen Rivers is an active promoter of her work on social media.

Brief Description
 
Tink Aaron-Martin has been grounded again after an adventure with her best friend Freddie Blue Anderson. To make the time pass, she decides to write an encyclopedia of her life from "Aa" (a kind of lava--okay, she cribbed that from the real encyclopedia) to "Zoo" (she's never been to one, but her brothers belong there).
 
As the alphabet unfolds, so does the story of Tink's summer:  more adventures with Freddie Blue (and more experiences in being grounded); how her family was featured in a magazine about "Living with Autism", thanks to her older brother Seb--and what happened after Seb fell apart; her growing friendship, and maybe more, with Kai, a skateboarder who made her swoon (sort of). And her own growing sense that maybe she belongs not under "H" for "Hideous," or "I" for "Invisible," but "O" for "Okay."
 
Written entirely in Tink's hilarious encyclopedia entries, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ME is both a literary trick and a reading treat for anyone who loves terrific fiction.

Harlequin Books  
February 2011 328pp.
Me? A leader? Okay, I did prove that there's more to Inside than we knew. That a whole world exists beyond this cube we live in. And finding that led to a major rebellion—between worker scrubs like me and the snobby uppers who rule our world. Make that ruled. Because of me, we're free. I thought that meant I was off the hook, and could go off on my own again—while still touching base with Riley, of course. He's the one upper I think I can trust. But then we learned that there's outside and then there is Outside.

And something from Outside wants In.

INSIDE OUT 110423
Harlequin Teen  
Apr 10 216pp.
Keep Your Head Down. Don't Get Noticed. Or Else. - I'm Trella. I'm a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my own…until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution.

Maria V. Snyder has been writing since 1995 and has published numerous articles in magazines and newspapers. She lives with her family in Pennsylvania.

From Booklist: "Trella is a scrub. She works on the lower level of a community where she and her ilk do the dirty work that keeps the operation going, mostly for the benefit of the Uppers. Known as Queen of the Pipes, Trella’s job cleaning ductwork also allows some privacy, as she finds places to hide. To help her only friend, she becomes involved protecting the Broken Man, a prophet who preaches about a mysterious Gateway. Then the trouble begins. Snyder has written a science-fiction thriller that is as surprising as it is exciting. With cliff-hangers ending every chapter, readers will be compelled to devour this quickly, but there’s plenty to think about, too, as Trella must decide who her friends are, what’s important to her, and what she is willing to sacrifice for an abstract, possibly false vision of hope. The romance Trella encounters ups the stakes as well. Snyder does a great job of tying up enough loose ends to make the story satisfying yet leaving enough questions open that lead right to a sequel. Grades 8-12." --Ilene Cooper
