Book excerpt: The girl, Baz, and the boy, Demi, are master pickpockets. They weave through rich neighborhoods to slip bags off shoulders and wallets out of pockets before disappearing into the crowd. Their loot goes to Fay, who runs a gang of child thieves from her den in the Barrio. This sweltering slum—in a city that is imagined, but all too real—is what passes for home to the kids, and Fay is what passes for family. That all changes the day Demi steals a magnificent blue ring. Soon, the police chief and the Barrio's crime boss close in on Fay, and she begins to break under their pressure. Baz has never doubted Fay before. She's never been apart from Demi, either. But soon, Baz is left alone to find her way through a world more corrupt than she's ever realized. Here, the lives of children are thrown away without a moment's hesitation. Here, the rich and powerful are just thieves on a larger scale. And somewhere in this wreck of a city, Baz must find the scraps of hope, the small acts of kindness, and the steely strength that will take her back to Demi and wash them both out of the Barrio for good.

Book excerpt: In this fairy tale Regency romance by USA Today bestselling and HOLT Medallion winning author BREE WOLF, a mousy wallflower with a secret and a dark lord with one of his own come to see that the fun begins when the masks come off. An unusual wallflower. A knight of the road. And a moment that changed all they thought they knew. MISS CAROLINE HAWKINS never gets looked at twice. She is never asked to dance or called on by a gentleman. In fact, gentlemen hardly notice she is even there, easily looking past her at the more alluring ladies of English society… …which is precisely how Caroline wants it. After all, she puts a lot of work into her appearance, powdering her hair to ensure it loses its shine and looks dull and unassuming. Thick spectacles hide her bright and watchful eyes, and wide, gray gowns buttoned to her chin conceal any female curves that might draw unwanted attention. In short: Caroline’s disguise is perfect… …or almost perfect because, to Caroline’s dismay, one particular gentleman will not be swayed. People call him THE BLACK BARON. The moment PIERCE BYRNE, BARON MARKHAM, glimpses this little gray mouse of a woman he knows something about her is…odd. Intriguingly odd. Fascinatingly odd. Odd in a way that makes him want to know more about her. By sheer happenstance, Pierce stumbles upon her one night and realizes how very right he has been. Caroline Hawkins is indeed odd, for she has been hiding a secret from all of London society that makes her perfect for him. After all, he, too, hides a secret…one Caroline swears to discover as the two of them go head to head. When the dust settles, will they still be strangers?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t miss Elizabeth Wein’s stunning new novel, Stateless Before Verity . . . there was Julie. When fifteen-year-old Julia Beaufort-Stuart wakes up in the hospital, she knows the lazy summer break she'd imagined won't be exactly what she anticipated. And once she returns to her grandfather's estate, a bit banged up but alive, she begins to realize that her injury might not have been an accident. One of her family's employees is missing, and he disappeared on the very same day she landed in the hospital. Desperate to figure out what happened, she befriends Euan McEwen, the Scottish Traveler boy who found her when she was injured, and his standoffish sister, Ellen. As Julie grows closer to this family, she witnesses firsthand some of the prejudices they've grown used to-a stark contrast to her own upbringing-and finds herself exploring thrilling new experiences that have nothing to do with a missing-person investigation. Her memory of that day returns to her in pieces, and when a body is discovered, her new friends are caught in the crosshairs of long-held biases about Travelers. Julie must get to the bottom of the mystery in order to keep them from being framed for the crime. This exhilarating coming-of-age story, a prequel to the Printz Honor Book Code Name Verity, returns to a beloved character just before she first takes flight.
