daughter of smoke and boneDAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE by Laini Taylor
Little Brown Books for Young Readers, $18.99.

Karou lives in a world apart. One foot in the cobbled streets of Prague the other in the hidden portals of her monster/wishmaker family. Although she loves her friends and her life as an art student and tooth hunter, Karou has always felt she was meant for more. That is until the black hand-prints begin to appear on portal doors and a terrifying seraphim with burning eyes tries to kill her on the streets of Marrakesh.

Twished and beautiful, DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE is an avocative, fast-paced reader, the first in what is sure to be a beloved series.

Meg highly recommends!

From the creator of ITS A BOOK comes a poignant story about family history and legacy. The past remains alive in the topiaries that inhabit grandpa's garden ... but what do they all mean? This beautifully illustrated book is both mysterious and captivating.

the emerald atlasTHE EMERALD ATLAS by John Stephens
Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, $17.99.

Kate, Michael, and Emma have lived the life of orphans as long as they can remember. Despite being shuttled from one horrendous home to the next, the children have never given up on their dream of being reunited with their parents. The dream turns into a full-fledged adventure after they find a mysterious book, which holds the key to all of their questions, but that's also being hunted by a dark and ancient evil.

This is a fantastic book! Reminiscent of the Narnia and Harry Potter series, THE EMERALD ATLAS is an amazing adventure that will delight and intrigue readers of all ages.

Ianni, Meg and resident YA reviewer, Maya, all LOVED AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
