The Key to Surviving Summer
by Sandi Van
It's the summer before sophomore year, and Moe is stuck in the middle of Nowhere-ville, in a broken-down cottage on Lake Ontario with no one her age for miles. Her neighbor's grandson, Zeke, definitely doesn't count. He is only eight, but desperation and loneliness force Moe to follow Zeke on his adventures. After a nasty storm, Moe finds a strange key and begins having visions of a girl roller-skating at sunset and then disappearing into the lake. Moe and Zeke comb the shoreline looking for clues, but when his grandparents find out, they forbid Zeke from spending any more time with Moe. Faced with even more isolation and increasingly vivid visions, Moe must figure out what happened to the mysterious girl and why it forced her temporary hometown into silence.

13 Days of Summer
by Stephanie Kate Strohm
This unforgettable and fun novel follows three best friends and one hot hitchhiker entering their summer road trip era, it's all about that reputation. . . It's the summer after senior year of high school for Carson, Noemi, and Eleanor, and they intend to live it up while they can. What could be more epic than a cross-country road trip to see Taylor Swift in concert? Along the way, the friends pick up a mysterious and charming guy who is stranded at a rest stop (is that a James Dean daydream look in his eyes?). As she and Carson hit it off, Carson gets a crash course in love-at-first sight. But as attractions grow, so, too, do tensions among the friends. Will the group make it to the concert with relationships intact? Or is there too much bad blood? At its core, a novel about the power and possibility of friendships, sprinkled with just enough romance and set against the ultimate summer playlist, this lighthearted read is both a quintessential teen romance and coming-of-age novel that will stay with readers long after Taylor sings her last note.

This Side of Falling
by Eunice Chan
Not real. The mantra seventeen-year-old Nina repeats to herself the morning after her almost-boyfriend, Ethan Travvers, jumped onto the tracks in front of a freight train. The two words that keep the truth just far enough away so the loss can't touch her, grief can't break her. After all, there is the family image to uphold, especially when her father's startup is falling apart. Maintaining the illusion of wholeness and success within their tight-knit California community is everything to Nina's mom and grandma. The pretense is working--until Nina's all-star older sister, Carmen, is dismissed from college and abruptly returns home. Carmen's arrival and strange behavior dig up buried memories, leading Nina to wonder if there is more to the story of Ethan than even she knew. The truth is not what she wants to believe: about Carmen, about Ethan, but mostly, about herself.
