Hero (The Woodcutter Sisters) by Alethea Kontis
Release Date: 2013-10-01
Rough-and-tumble Saturday Woodcutter thinks she’s the only one of her sisters without any magic—until the day she accidentally conjures an ocean in the backyard. With her sword in tow, Saturday sets sail on a pirate ship, only to find herself kidnapped and whisked off to the top of the world. Is Saturday powerful enough to kill the mountain witch who holds her captive and save the world from sure destruction? And, as she wonders grumpily, “Did romance have to be part of the adventure?” As in Enchanted, readers will revel in the fragments of fairy tales that embellish this action-packed story of adventure and, yes, romance.

How Not to Be a Dick: An Everyday Etiquette Guide by Meghan Doherty
Release Date: 2013-10-01
On the one hand, nobody wants to be a dick. On the other hand, dicks are everywhere! They cut in line, talk behind our backs, recline into our seats, and even have the power to morph into trolls online. Their powers are impressive, but with a little foresight and thoughtfulness, we can take a stand against dickishness today. How Not to Be a Dick is packed with honest and straightforward advice, but it also includes playful illustrations showing two well-meaning (but not always well behaved) young people as they confront moments of potential dickishness in their everyday lives. Sometimes they falter, sometimes they triumph, but they always seek to find a better way. And with their help, you can too.

Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident by Donnie Eichar
Release Date: 2013-10-22
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. This gripping work of literary nonfiction delves into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers’ own journals and photographs, rarely seen government records, dozens of interviews, and the author’s retracing of the hikers’ fateful journey in the Russian winter. A fascinating portrait of the young hikers in the Soviet era, and a skillful interweaving of the hikers narrative, the investigators’ efforts, and the author’s investigations, here for the first time is the real story of what happened that night on Dead Mountain.

Anatomy of a Single Girl by Daria Snadowsky
Release Date: 2013-01-08
With Judy Blume-like honesty and insight, this sequel to Anatomy of a Boyfriend is about life after first love–romance, sex, friendship, family, and the ups and downs of life as a single girl.After everything that happened—my first boyfriend, my first time, my first breakup—jumping back into the dating game seemed like the least healthy thing I could do. It’s not that I didn’t want to fall in love again, since that’s about the best feeling ever. But as a busy college premed still raw from heartbreak, which is the worst feeling ever, I figured I’d lie low for a while. Of course, as soon as I stopped looking for someone, an impossibly amazing—and devastatingly cute—guy came along, and I learned that having a new boyfriend is the quickest way to recover from losing your old one. The moment we got together, all my preconceptions about romance and sex were turned upside down. I discovered physical and emotional firsts I never knew existed. I learned to let go of my past by living in the present. It was thrilling. It was hot. It was just what the doctor ordered. But I couldn’t avoid my future forever. In Daria Snadowsky’s daring follow-up to Anatomy of a Boyfriend, eighteen-year-old Dominique explores the relationship between love and lust, and the friendships that see us through.“Curious teens will find Snadowsky’s honesty refreshing, and like [Judy Blume’s] Forever before it, this one is sure to be passed from hand to hand.” —Booklist “The book presents a multiplicity of opinions and stories about sex, intimacy and relationships and lets readers come to their own conclusions.” —Kirkus Reviews “Dominique is a strong female character who makes informed decisions and demonstrates control over her own body and goals. . . . This book could be popular with girls who are curious and interested in reading about intimate young adult relationships.” —VOYA “Written in an unflinchingly candid style, Daria Snadowsky’s Anatomy of a Single Girl is an addictive contemporary read.” —MidnightBloomReads.blogspot.com “An honest, warts-and-all account of late teen relationships, and it’s unflinching and absorbing.” —Chicklish.co.uk“Snadowsky knows how to write women—strong, flawed women who are open to discovering their bodies and what makes them feel good. (Whether it’s science or sex.)” —RatherBeReadingblog.com“[The Anatomy books] could demystify sex for teenaged girls in a way that neither encourages abstinence nor promiscuity, and for that it should be on the shelves of every household.” —ForeverYoungAdult.com “Daria Snadowsky is excellent at writing the awkward teenager. . . . Honest and so realistic.” —TheBookLife.com “Any girl who has ever had [her] heart broken can and will relate to the events taking place in this book.” —DwellInPossibilityBooks.blogspot.com
