Adia Kelbara and the Circle of Shamans
by Isi Hendrix
Life is tough for twelve-year-old orphan Adia. Her aunt and uncle believe she's an ogbanje, a demon-possessed child that brings misfortune wherever they go, and Adia can't disagree, especially when she suddenly manifests mysterious powers that she can't control, causing an earthquake in her village. So when Adia is offered a kitchen apprenticeship at the faraway Academy of Shamans, she flees with nothing but a pouch of change, her cat Bubbles, and the hope that someone there can figure out what's wrong with her, and fix it.

The Getaway List
by Emma Lord
The day of her high school graduation, Riley realizes two things: One, that she has spent the last four years trying so hard to be a Good Kid for her mom that she has no idea who she really is anymore, and two, she has no idea what she wants because of it. The solution? Pack her bags and move to New York for the summer, where her childhood best friend Tom and co-creator of The Getaway List -- a list of all the adventures they've wanted to do together since he moved away -- will hopefully help her get in touch with her old adventurous self, and pave the road to a new future.

The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley
by Courtney Walsh
As a university researcher, Isadora keeps to herself as much as possible. But on her thirtieth birthday, Isadora does something completely out of character. The young woman who never does anything on a whim makes an impulse purchase of a magazine featuring a silly article detailing Thirty-One Ways to Be Happy -- which includes everything from smiling at strangers, to exercising for endorphins, to giving in to your chocolate cravings. Isadora decides to create her own secret research project to prove the writer of this ridiculous piece wrong.
