Instructions for Dancing<\/i><\/a> by Nicola Yoon (June 1)<\/b><\/h5>

Evie Thomas doesn’t believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything–including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he’s only just met.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it’s that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

An Emotion of Great Delight<\/i><\/a> by Tahereh Mafi (June 1)<\/b><\/h5>

It\u2019s 2003, several months since the US officially declared war on Iraq, and the American political world has evolved. Tensions are high, hate crimes are on the rise, FBI agents are infiltrating local mosques, and the Muslim community is harassed and targeted more than ever. Shadi, who wears hijab, keeps her head down.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

She’s too busy drowning in her own troubles to find the time to deal with bigots.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Shadi is named for joy, but she\u2019s haunted by sorrow. Her brother is dead, her father is dying, her mother is falling apart, and her best friend has mysteriously dropped out of her life. And then, of course, there\u2019s the small matter of her heart\u2014<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s broken.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Shadi tries to navigate her crumbling world by soldiering through, saying nothing. She devours her own pain, each day retreating farther and farther inside herself until finally, one day, everything changes.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

She explodes.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

An Emotion of Great Delight is a searing look into the world of a single Muslim family in the wake of 9\/11. It\u2019s about a child of immigrants forging a blurry identity, falling in love, and finding hope\u2014in the midst of a modern war.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Never Kiss Your Roommate<\/i><\/a> by Philline Harms (June 1)<\/b><\/h5>

Welcome to Seven Hills, the world\u2019s most exclusive boarding school where only the best and brightest roam the hallowed halls. Being committed to your studies, service, and community doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t break the rules now and again, right?<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

But watch your back because lurking on the anonymous Chitter Chatter Blog is The Watcher\u2014who can\u2019t wait to reveal all the latest hookups, hot lists, and secrets around campus. The latest objects of The Watcher\u2019s affection? Straight-off-the-train (but not exactly straight) insta-besties Evelyn and Seth.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

It doesn\u2019t take long for Evelyn to realize she is inexplicably drawn to her gorgeous and standoffish roommate Noelle. Meanwhile Seth has eyes, and some serious heart palpitations, for budding thespian and school flirt Jasper. Just as things start to heat up, The Watcher strikes. Will the secrets revealed turn their happily ever afters into happily never afters?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Box in the Woods<\/i><\/a> by Maureen Johnson (June 15)<\/b><\/h5>

Amateur sleuth Stevie Bell needs a good murder. After catching a killer at her high school, she\u2019s back at home for a normal (that means boring) summer.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

But then she gets a message from the owner of Sunny Pines, formerly known as Camp Wonder Falls\u2014the site of the notorious unsolved case, the Box in the Woods Murders. Back in 1978, four camp counselors were killed in the woods outside of the town of Barlow Corners, their bodies left in a gruesome display. The new owner offers Stevie an invitation: Come to the camp and help him work on a true crime podcast about the case.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Stevie agrees, as long as she can bring along her friends from Ellingham Academy. Nothing sounds better than a summer spent together, investigating old murders.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

But something evil still lurks in Barlow Corners. When Stevie opens the lid on this long-dormant case, she gets much more than she bargained for. The Box in the Woods will make room for more victims. This time, Stevie may not make it out alive.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

All Our Hidden Gifts<\/i> <\/a>by Caroline O\u2019Donoghue (June 8)<\/b><\/h5>

After Maeve finds a pack of tarot cards while cleaning out a closet during her in-school suspension, she quickly becomes the most sought-after diviner at St. Bernadette\u2019s Catholic school. But when Maeve\u2019s ex\u2013best friend, Lily, draws an unsettling card called The Housekeeper that Maeve has never seen before, the session devolves into a heated argument that ends with Maeve wishing aloud that Lily would disappear. When Lily isn\u2019t at school the next Monday, Maeve learns her ex-friend has vanished without a trace.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Shunned by her classmates and struggling to preserve a fledgling romance with Lily\u2019s gender-fluid sibling, Roe, Maeve must dig deep into her connection with the cards to search for clues the police cannot find\u2014even if they lead to the terrifying Housekeeper herself. Set in an Irish town where the church\u2019s tight hold has loosened and new freedoms are trying to take root, this sharply contemporary story is witty, gripping, and tinged with mysticism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Love and Other Natural Disasters<\/i><\/a> by Misa Sugiura (June 8)<\/b><\/h5>

When Nozomi Nagai pictured the ideal summer romance, a fake one wasn\u2019t what she had in mind.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

That was before she met the perfect girl. Willow is gorgeous, glamorous, and\u2026heartbroken? And when she enlists Nozomi to pose as her new girlfriend to make her ex jealous, Nozomi is a willing volunteer.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Because Nozomi has a master plan of her own: one to show Willow she\u2019s better than a stand-in, and turn their fauxmance into something real. But as the lies pile up, it\u2019s not long before Nozomi\u2019s schemes take a turn toward disaster\u2026and maybe a chance at love she didn\u2019t plan for.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Lucky List<\/i><\/a> by Rachael Lippincott (June 10)<\/b><\/h5>

Emily and her mum were always lucky,<\/span><\/p>

But Emily\u2019s mum\u2019s luck ran out three years ago when she succumbed to cancer, and nothing has felt right since.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Now, the summer before her senior year, things are worse than ever \u2013 Emily has wrecked things with her boyfriend, Matt, and her dad is selling the house she grew up in and giving her mum\u2019s belongings away. The only person she has to talk to is Blake, a girl she barely knows since she and her dad moved back to town five seconds ago.<\/span><\/p>

But that\u2019s when Emily finds the list \u2013 her mum\u2019s senior year summer bucket list \u2013 buried in the back of her closet. When Blake suggests that Emily take it on as a challenge, the two set off on a journey to tick each box and help Emily face her fears over losing her connection to her mum. As she starts to feel closer to her mother, so too does Emily\u2019s bond with Blake deepen into something she wasn’t expecting.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

And suddenly Emily must face another fear: accepting the secret part of herself she never got a chance to share with the person who knew her best.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Eat Your Heart Out<\/i> <\/a>by Kelly DeVos (June 29)<\/b><\/h5>

Vivian Ellenshaw is fat, but she knows she doesn’t need to lose weight, so she’s none too happy to find herself forced into a weight-loss camp’s van with her ex-best friend, Allie, a meathead jock who can barely drive, and the camp owner’s snobby son. And when they arrive at Camp Featherlite at the start of the worst blizzard in the history of Flagstaff, Arizona, it’s clear that something isn’t right.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Vee barely has a chance to meet the other members of her pod, all who seem as unhappy to be at Featherlite as she does, when a camper goes missing down by the lake. Then she spots something horrifying outside in the snow. Something…that isn’t human. Plus, the camp’s supposed “miracle cure” for obesity just seems fishy, and Vee and her fellow campers know they don’t need to be cured. Of anything.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Even worse, it’s not long before Camp Featherlite’s luxurious bungalows are totally overrun with zombies. What starts out as a mission to unravel the camp’s secrets turns into a desperate fight for survival–and not all of the Featherlite campers will make it out alive.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This Poison Heart<\/i><\/a> by Kalynn Bayron (June 29)<\/b><\/h5>

Darkness blooms in bestselling author Kalynn Bayron’s new contemporary fantasy about a girl with a unique and deadly power.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Briseis has a gift: she can grow plants from tiny seeds to rich blooms with a single touch.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

When Briseis’s aunt dies and wills her a dilapidated estate in rural New York, Bri and her parents decide to leave Brooklyn behind for the summer. Hopefully there, surrounded by plants and flowers, Bri will finally learn to control her gift. But their new home is sinister in ways they could never have imagined–it comes with a specific set of instructions, an old-school apothecary, and a walled garden filled with the deadliest botanicals in the world that can only be entered by those who share Bri’s unique family lineage.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

When strangers begin to arrive on their doorstep, asking for tinctures and elixirs, Bri learns she has a surprising talent for creating them. One of the visitors is Marie, a mysterious young woman who Bri befriends, only to find that Marie is keeping dark secrets about the history of the estate and its surrounding community. There is more to Bri’s sudden inheritance than she could have imagined, and she is determined to uncover it . . . until a nefarious group comes after her in search of a rare and dangerous immortality elixir. Up against a centuries-old curse and the deadliest plant on earth, Bri must harness her gift to protect herself and her family.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Trouble Girls <\/i><\/a>by Julia Lynn Rubin (June 1)<\/b><\/h5>

When Trixie picks up her best friend Lux for their weekend getaway, she\u2019s looking to escape for a little while, to forget the despair of being trapped in their dead-end Rust Belt town and the daunting responsibility of caring for her ailing mother. The girls are packing light: a supply of Diet Coke for Lux and her \u201889 Canon to help her frame the world in a sunnier light; half a pack of cigarettes for Trixie that she doesn\u2019t really smoke, and a knife\u2014one she\u2019s just hanging on to for a friend\u2014that she\u2019s never used before.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

But a single night of violence derails their trip and will forever change the course of the girls\u2019 lives, as they go from ordinary high schoolers to wanted fugitives. Trying to stay ahead of the cops and a hellscape of media attention, the girls grapple with an unforgiving landscape, rapidly diminishing supplies, and disastrous decisions at every turn. As they are transformed by the media into the face of a #MeToo movement they didn\u2019t ask to lead and the road before them begins to run out, Trixie and Lux realize that they can only rely on each other, and that the love they find together is the one thing that truly makes them free.<\/span><\/p>
