    After the untimely death of her mother, 15-year-old Iris Baldwin --- the main character of Barbara Stuber's debut novel, CROSSING THE TRACKS --- is having a hard time feeling like she belongs, especially since her emotionally absent, "BS salesman" of a father prefers spending time at work or with his new girlfriend instead of with his family. Unexpectedly sent away to rural Missouri --- and far from her only friend, Leroy --- she embarks on an adventure in the hopes of finding the family she never knew had while ultimately finding strength, courage, and love in the process.

In other words, she’s fitting in. But, things start to change when her cousin Micah, an observant Jew, moves back into town, joins the football team, and is quickly pegged a freak.

    Ever have one of those days where you just felt invisible? Well, Charlotte Usher of Tonya Hurley's ghostgirl books is having one of those days... or rather, lifetimes. In LOVESICK, the third installment of the series, Charlotte's last task at "Dead Ed" --- before she can finally move on and RIP --- is to return to the high school where she died, and help a designated teen sort out a personal problem in time for the Prom.  Easy enough, right? Just her luck, her "project" happens to be her former crush, Damon.

    Stock up on those red (or blue) plastic cups because once the school year ends, the celebration begins in Tom Leveen’s new book --- befittingly titled --- PARTY (on shelves now!). In this debut, he gives you VIP access not only into the hippest bash in Santa Barbara, but also into the lives, expectations and secrets of 11 seemingly unrelated characters whose interwoven stories each deal with issues relatable to everyone --- from sex and religion, to dealing with the loss of a parent and the war in Iraq.

But as luck would have it, he meets an attractive 23-year-old woman who's more than willing to help him pick up the pieces... turning his life completely upside down in the process.
