COMING SOON TO THE TEEN SECTION:
Falling Like Snow
by Misty Wilson

A girl juggles planning her town's first-ever winter festival and untangling her complicated feelings for both her best friend and the star hockey player in this charming book in the swoony Bramble Falls series that started with the New York Times bestselling Falling Like Leaves. After Bramble Falls's wildly successful Falling Leaves Festival, Sloane Sullivan is looking forward to some downtime--especially kicking back and marathoning Nora Ephron movies with her best friend, Asher. But they barely make it through Sleepless in Seattle before Sloane's mom calls an emergency tourism department meeting; it's all hands on deck--Bramble Falls is having its first ever Falling Snow Festival Sloane may still be recovering from the last seasonal event, but she's also excited. After all, Christmas is the best time of year And she'll have her whole crew by her side, including her cousin Ellis and, of course, Asher. But when irresistible, hockey-playing Micah catches Sloane's attention, she finds herself a bit distracted. The emotions her unexpected flirtation brings up make Sloane feel confused about Micah...and Asher. She's never thought of Asher as more than her best friend, but even if Sloane is seeing Asher in a new light, what does that mean for her and Micah? Uncertain and more than a little overwhelmed, Sloane throws herself into festival preparations, hoping to get a little Christmas magic in return that will help her figure out where her heart lies.
The Worst Is Yet to Come
by Trish Lundy

From the author of The One That Got Away with Murder comes a fresh YA mystery about a girl who survives a murder attempt and the boy who finds her bleeding on the side of the road as they team up to find out who is targeting teen girls in their small, Rust Belt community. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M. McManus. High school might be officially over, but the real nightmare is just beginning. When two best friends are attacked on graduation night, only one of them makes it out alive. Left for dead at an abandoned house but determined to find out who killed her best friend, Rose is rescued by former high school quarterback and heartthrob, Jake, who becomes an unexpected ally. . . and maybe something more. But when she learns that seventeen years ago, another girl suffered the exact same fate in the exact same place, she wonders if a murderer might be back with a vengeance. . . or is a copycat killer on the loose? Time is running out, because whoever the killer is, they're eager to correct their biggest mistake: letting Rose live. As Rose follows the trail of evidence, she's led down a path of horrors that threatens to expose the insidious secrets at the heart of her community--secrets the killer will do anything to keep quiet.
