NEW ARRIVALS

MYSTERY

"The Search" by Nora Roberts - "Number-one New York Times-bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel set in the Pacific Northwest, where an island provides sanctuary, the lush forests seduce the unwary, and a man and a woman find in each other the strength to carry on." - inside front cover

"Scarlet Nights" by Jude Deveraux - "As Deveraux continues her series, she brings to life the sort of sweet and spunky heroines who attract the muscular men her fans expect and enjoy. So this is another guilty-pleasure romance of suspense that will hook readers and leave them with a smile."-- Patty Engelman, Booklist

"Ice Cold" by Tess Gerritsen - "Tess Gerritsen's relentless, inventive novel takes readers on a pulse-pounding thrill ride through a mysteriously isolated town...as a silent watcher waits." - back cover

"Hangman: A Decker/Lazarus Novel" by Faye Kellerman - "Murder, a missing woman, and a sociopath from the past sweep Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus into a labyrinth of mystery and danger in this electrifying new tale of suspense from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman...." --inside front cover

YOUNG ADULTS

"Saving Sky" by Diane Stanley - " In this provocative title, award-winning author Stanley asks young readers to consider what courage might look like in an America under psychological and physical siege...Readers will have much to discuss after finishing this beautifully written, disturbing book." -- Frances Bradburn, Booklist

"Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater - "Grace and Sam met six years ago when she was attacked by werewolves. Sam changed from a yellow-eyed wolf to a yellow-eyed boy and carried her home. Although bitten, Grace survived and did not change, the only werewolf victim ever to do so....This novel is perfect for Twilight fans or a Romeo and Juliet list. It is sensuous, intense, riveting, and so very satisfying." --Bonne Kunzel, VOYA

"Linger" by Maggie Stiefvater - "In Shiver, Grace watched Sam struggle to remain human instead of succumbing to the call of the wild, brought on by the bitter Minnesota cold. In this sequel, Sam, now human, watches Grace, the only victim of a werewolf attack who didn't turn, go through the same struggle as her body demands that she take the form of a wolf....This riveting narrative, impossible to put down, is not only an excellent addition to the current fangs and fur craze but is also a beautifully written romance that, along with Shiver, will have teens clamoring for the third and final entry..."--Bonnie Kunzel, VOYA

JUVENILE NON-FICTION

"Binky, The Space Cat" by Ashley Spires - "The ink-and-watercolor illustrations in this graphic novel perfectly capture idiosyncratic feline behaviors, and readers will instantly recognize the truth in Binky's perception of reality and appreciate the humor...With plenty of visual gags and a cute hero, this book is perfect for kids who are transitioning from easy readers to early chapter books, while the dry humor will also keep strong readers engaged."--Eva Volin, Booklist
