Here Lies Daniel Tate by Cristin Terrill

A totally suspenseful read with the biggest liar of all as narrator.

Love and First Sight by Josh Sundquist

Gabrielle praised this book because it “tackled some issues that are especially relevant to YA readers, and carried them off beautifully.” She recommends it to fans of Kasie West and Amy Clipston.

Once Was Lost by Sara Zarr

One of the best books I’ve read this year, and one of the best ever in its exploration of faith versus doubt. Fantastic– total must-read, especially for Christian readers.

An amazing story based on an impossible-sounding historical place. Fantastic characters, emotive narrative. Not to be missed.

Reign of Outlaws by Kekla Magoon

A fresh, fun gender-flipped Robin Hood reboot.

City of Thirst (Map to Everywhere #2) by Carrie Ryan and John Parker Davis
