Caraval

Fleeing an abusive father and an arranged marriage, Scarlett and her sister Tella arrive at Caraval expecting to be dazzled: for years, they've heard astonishing stories about the magical circus/live action game run by enigmatic mastermind Legend. Their expectations turn to terror, however, when Legend kidnaps Tella and makes her the subject of that year's Caraval. To win her back, Scarlett will have to play for five nights, facing down seductive enchantments and her own deeply hidden fears, all while dealing with her growing feelings for her sailor companion, Julian. The lush language and imaginative world-building in this series debut are sure to keep fantasy fans spellbound.

After sleeping through a 1,000-year journey, he and his friends will have a pristine new planet to colonize. And no more worries about the Lowerworld and its 99% of rejects. Then Cam sees a banned video feed of protesters in the Lowerworld who also want a chance at a new life. And he sees a girl with golden eyes who seems to be gazing straight though the feed directly at him. A girl he has to find. Sofie. When Cam finds Sofie, she opens his eyes to the unfairness of what’s happening in their world, and Cam joins her cause for Lowerworld rights. He also falls hard for Sofie. But Sofie has her own battles to fight, and when it’s time to board the spaceships, Cam is alone.

Overturned
by Lamar Giles
Mystery. Nikki learned about gambling from her dad, Nathan "The Broker" Tate, though she couldn't have guessed that at age 16 she'd have to use those skills to keep the family casino in business while her dad does time for murder. After bolstering her college fund through back-door poker, Nikki is nearly ready to get away from her messy family when Nathan's conviction is overturned -- and that's just the first of many shocking events that lead a reluctant Nikki into a risky search through the Las Vegas underworld. If you're hooked by this "dark and twisty thriller" (Publishers Weekly) starring a daring African American teen, be sure to try author Lamar Giles' debut, Fake ID.
