General Winston's Daughter by Sharon Shinn
(ages 12 & up) is a timeless and timely
coming of age tale. Averie Winston is a seventeen
year-old heiress traveling with her guardian for
a reunion with her father and her fiance, and to
explore the strange new country they inhabit.
With an epic sweep, piquant humor, social
commentary and love to spare, this novel is filled
with romance.

North America is divided into twelve districts. Annually a girl and boy from each district is chosen to participate in the Hunger Games, a "Survivor"-esque game with one big difference--there is no getting kicked off the Island. A fight to the death is the only rule.

Something Rotten (ages 12-14) is by Alan Gratz. In
Denmark, Tennessee, Horatio
Wilkes is invited for an extended stay at the
home of his close friend, Hamilton Prince.
There he meets a cast of characters, each of
which had motive to commit murder most foul.
This cool and clever tale is rife with twists, witty
one liners and an unexpected ending.

 From Colosseum by Sarah Arvio
"and all the beauty and the blasphemy.
Petals, petals, scattering from the stands
where only vestals were allowed to sit,
having tended the flame for all of us.
Here, I knew, was the empire of my soul
showing on my face as I turned to you."
