| Hold Me Like a Breath by Tiffany SchmidtThriller. Even the lightest touch could damage sheltered, 17-year-old Penelope Landlow -- she has a rare disorder that causes easy bruising and requires frequent blood transfusions. These treatments are funded by the family business: the Landlows are major players in the black market for human organ transplants. Yet the business that enables Penny's safety also makes her family a target, and after a shocking tragedy shatters her protective bubble, Penny discovers that independence is hazardous…and that she's more resilient than anyone suspected. If you relish the pulse-pounding suspense and unexpected romance in this thriller, you won't want to miss the follow-up, Break Me Like A Promise. |

| Noggin by John Corey WhaleyFiction. Travis Coates is back from the dead, but he still can't get a life. As a terminally ill 16-year-old, Travis had agreed to have his head cryogenically frozen, thinking he'd be revived in the far future. Instead, it's only five years later when he wakes up with his head attached to a donor body. Though Travis is grateful, adjusting to his new reality is confusing: his gay best friend Kyle is back in the closet, his girlfriend Cate is engaged to some other guy, and he's still stuck in high school while everyone else has moved on. If you appreciate angst sprinkled with humor, don't miss this "satisfyingly oddball" (Kirkus Reviews) coming-of-age story.
