New Teen Books: Thursday, December 14

Looking for a fun new read? The library is constantly receiving new materials, including the items below. Why not stop by and check out a book, CD, movie, or other material that you find interesting. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books for teens that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

Defiant (The Skyward Series, Book 4)

Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. The Superiority didn’t stop in its fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa’s team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it’s only a matter of time until humanity—and the rest of the galaxy—falls. Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself—and her friends—in the process.

The Way I Am Now

Eden and Josh decide to give their relationship another chance in this much anticipated sequel to The Way I Used to Be that explores how to move forward after trauma. Eden and Josh never had a fair shot at a healthy relationship. Eden was carrying the burden of a devastating sexual assault, while Josh was dealing with his own private struggle of having an alcoholic father. Now when she and Josh reconnect, it seems like it might finally be in the right place at the right time for them to make it work. But is their love strong enough to withstand the the crushing realities of a trial that will determine whether Eden gets the justice she deserves?

Murtagh

The world is no longer safe for the Dragon Rider Murtagh and his dragon, Thorn. An evil king has been toppled, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone, exiled to the outskirts of society. Throughout the land, hushed voices whisper of brittle ground and a faint scent of brimstone in the air—and Murtagh senses that something wicked lurks in the shadows of Alagaësia. So begins an epic journey into lands both familiar and untraveled, where Murtagh and Thorn must use every weapon in their arsenal, from brains to brawn, to find and outwit a mysterious witch.
