The Great Wheel
by Robert Lawson
Your fortune lies to the west. Keep your face to the sunset . . . and one day you'll ride the greatest wheel in all the world. When Aunt Honora reads this fortune in his tea leaves, Conn Kilroy knows he is destined for greater things than his small Irish village can offer. A letter from his uncle Michael in America offering Conn a partnership in his New York contracting company sets Conn on his western adventure. Just a few short months later Conn's Uncle Patrick lures him even farther west to Chicago, where they join the hardworking crew building what some called Ferris's Folly-the first Ferris wheel-then the largest wheel in the world and the showpiece of Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.

This Place Kills Me: A Graphic Novel
by Mariko Tamaki
At Wilberton Academy, few students are more revered than the members of the elite Wilberton Theatrical Society--a.k.a. the WTS--and no one represents that exclusive club better than Elizabeth Woodward. Breathtakingly beautiful, beloved by all, and a talented thespian, it's no surprise she's starring as Juliet in the WTS's performance of Shakespeare's classic tragedy. But when she's found dead the morning after opening night, the whole school is thrown into chaos. Transfer student Abby Kita was one of the last people to see Elizabeth alive, and when local authorities deem the it-girl's death a suicide, Abby's not convinced-she's sure there's more to Wilberton and the WTS than meets the eye. As she gets tangled in prep school intrigue, Abby quickly realizes that Elizabeth was keeping secrets. Was one of those secrets worth killing for?

Songs for Ghosts
by Clara Kumagai
This genre-bending YA novel follows a boy who finds a century-old diary written by a young woman in Nagasaki, Japan--and becomes haunted by her vengeful spirit. When Adam discovers a diary in his attic, he is enthralled by its account of a young woman's life in Nagasaki. A hundred years separate them, yet like Adam, she is caught between cultures, relationships, and heartbreak. She also writes of the ghosts that have begun to seek her out, which Adam dismisses as fantasy--until he begins to be haunted by her terrifying spirit. Unravelling the mystery of her identity--and the wrong done to her--seems to be the only way to save himself. This leads Adam to a home stay in Nagasaki, where he begins to reconnect to his heritage through Japanese language, culture, and family members, while unravelling the mystery of her identity and his own.
