NATE EXPECTATIONS: Book 3 of the Nate series Tim Federle Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, September 2018 (World English) Agent: Brenda Bowen “[A] wonderful evocation of what it’s like to be a theater kid. Highly recommended.”—Lin-Manuel Miranda, star and creator of the musical Hamilton When the news hits that E.T.: The Musical wasn’t nominated for a single Tony award— not one!—the show closes, leaving Nate out of luck and out of a job. And while Nate’s cast mates are eager to move on (the boy he understudies already landed a role on a TV show!), Nate knows it’s back to square one, also known as Jankburg, Pennsylvania. Where horror (read: high school) awaits.

Desperate to turn his life from flop to fabulous, Nate takes on a huge freshman English project with his BFF, Libby: he’s gonna make a musical out of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations. (What could possible go… right.) But when Nate’s New York crush ghosts him, and his grades start to slip, he finds the only thing harder than being on Broadway is being in high school — especially when you’ve got a secret you’re desperate to sing out about.

The third and final novel in Tim Federle’s groundbreaking, Lambda Award-winning series, Nate Expectations is a love letter to theater kids young and not-so-young – and for anyone who ever wondered if they could truly go home again. Especially when going home means facing everything you thought you’d left behind.

Like Speak, it is one of those rare books that can have a real, lasting impact on readers, and can start important conversations.”—Adi Alsaid, Let’s Get Lost

“[S]tark honesty and potent reminders that strong friends and a stronger will can be key to freeing oneself when caught between a rock and a hard place.”—Publishers Weekly

“Bad Romance is a raw, honest, unrelenting novel. Demetrios writes with heartbreaking clarity about the way first love can turn from safe to dangerous, from beautiful to ugly. Brave, bold, and deeply felt, this book gets it in a profound way. I didn’t know I was waiting for a book like this, but it turns out, I’ve needed it for a long time.”—Corey Ann Haydu, OCD Love Story

“A well-executed family drama of the power of romantic and parental love, secrets, regrets, and new beginnings.”—Kirkus Reviews

“An intense family drama that will pull readers in with poignancy, romance, and grief over lost relationships, all set to the beat of scattered song lyrics woven nicely through the narrative.”—Booklist Taliah Sahar Abdallat lives and breathes music. Songs have always helped Tal ease the pain of never having known her father. Her mother, born in Jordan and very secretive about her past, won’t say a word about who her dad really was. But when Tal finds a shoebox full of old letters from Julian Oliver—yes, the indie rock star Julian Oliver—she begins to piece the story together.

She writes to Julian, but after three years of radio silence, she’s given up hope. Then one day, completely out of the blue, Julian shows up at her doorstep, and Tal doesn’t know whether to be furious or to throw herself into his arms. Before she can decide, he asks her to go on a trip with him to meet her long-estranged family and to say good-bye to his father, her grandfather, who is dying. Getting to know your father after sixteen years of estrangement doesn’t happen in one car ride. But as Tal spends more time with Julian and his family, she begins to untangle her parents’ secret past and discovers a part of herself she never recognized before. By the acclaimed author of My Heart and Other Black Holes, this is an intergenerational story of family and legacy and the way love informs both of those things. It’s about secrets and the debt of silence. It’s about the power of songs. And most of all, it’s about learning how to say hello. And good-bye.

Bologna 2018 19 Young Adult/Teen www.greenburger.com THE ACADEMY Katie Sise Balzer + Bray/ HarperCollins, May 2018 Agent: Dan Mandel Make clothes, not war

A funny, romantic, and charming story of a fashionista who gets sent to military school

Frankie Brooks knows what she wants in life: to become the world’s next great fashion editor. All she needs to do is get into the elite American Fashion Academy in New York City. If she gets in, her life plans will be going right on schedule. Anna Wintour, watch out.

But after Frankie messes up one too many times—hey, it’s hard not to prioritize her acclaimed fashion blog above all else—her parents come up with entirely different plans for her future: military school. How is Frankie, the least athletic person in the world, who knows absolutely nothing about the military, going to survive a whole semester at the famed—and feared—Academy?

With classmates who seem to be totally uninterested in her, a course load that’s even more difficult than her old school’s, and the weird athletic War Games competition she has to join, Frankie finds that her life is way tougher than it used to be. And no one, including her roommate, Joni, seems to understand Frankie at all.

As she learns how to cope with impossible military drills and intimidating specialized classes and is maybe even falling for superhot and supersmart cadet Jack Wattson, can Frankie prove to everyone that being a fashionista doesn’t mean she can’t succeed?

Hand to fans of Jennifer Niven’s All the Bright Places.”—Booklist

Ganger writes her characters with great care, and the beautifully structured story is filled with giant truths and tiny, perfect details. Falling for this book was quick, thrilling and, yes, inevitable.”—Corey Ann Haydu, author of OCD Love Story Sebastian Alvaréz is trying to hold the pieces together, to not flunk out of school, keep his sort-of-best friend, Wild Kyle, from doing something stupid, and to see his beloved Ma through chemo. When he meets Birdie Paxton, a near-Valedictorian at a party she’s not supposed to be at, an undeniable attraction sparks, and suddenly Bash isn’t worried about anything—except wanting to know her. Before either of them can make a move, they’re quickly pulled apart, and a horrifying tragedy links Birdie + Bash together—yet neither knows it.

When they finally reconnect and begin to fall—hard—the events of the tragedy unfold, changing both their lives in ways they can never undo. Based on true events and told in alternating perspectives, The Inevitable Collision of Birdie + Bash is a beautiful, complex, and ultimately hopeful teen novel that will move you to the very last page.

An intricate, unusual love story for readers attuned to compassion.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred)

“Through bewitching prose, idiosyncratic detail, and the presentation of a mind simultaneously on the edge of epiphany and exhaustion, breakthrough and breakdown, Downes crafts a tender portrayal of both mental illness and love itself.

Mile by mile, Nest tells Q about her life, her family, her past…and her Chimaera, the beast that preys on her mind and causes her to lose herself. Q knows only that his love for Nest runs deeper than the demon that plagues her thoughts, that he loves her in spite of—or perhaps because of—the personal battle she fights every day. In this moving novel, Patrick Downes tells the story of a mind at the edge of unraveling, held together by love and acceptance.

Originally from New York City, Patrick Downes splits his time between the United States and Canada.

What brings Skylar and Josh together is working at the Paradise—a quirky motel off California’s dusty Highway 99.
