100 Miles Sideways by Andrew Smith

8/17/2016

 
Picture
Finn Easton sees the world through miles instead of minutes. It’s how he makes sense of the world, and how he tries to convince himself that he’s a real boy and not just a character in his father’s bestselling cult-classic book. Finn has two things going for him: his best friend, the possibly-insane-but-definitely-excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia Bishop, the first girl he’s ever loved.

Bone Gap by Laura Ruby

​Everyone knows Bone Gap is full of gaps —gaps to trip you up, gaps to slide through so you can disappear forever. So when young, beautiful Roza went missing, the people of Bone Gap weren’t surprised. After all, it wasn’t the first time that someone had slipped away and left Finn and Sean O’Sullivan on their own. Just a few years before, their mother had high-tailed it to Oregon for a brand new guy, a brand new life. That’s just how things go, the people said. Who are you going to blame?

The Boy in the Black Suit by Jason Reynolds

Picture
​Matt wears a black suit every day. No, not because his mom died—although she did, and it sucks. But he wears the suit for his gig at the local funeral home, which pays way better than the Cluck Bucket, and he needs the income since his dad can’t handle anything on his own. Then Matt meets Lovey and learns there’s nothing more hopeful than finding a person who understands your loneliness —and who can maybe even help take it away.

Emily & OIiver by Robin Benway

​Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life. She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach — go anywhere without her parents’ relentless worrying. But Emmy’s parents can’t seem to let her grow up —not since the day Oliver disappeared. He’d thought, all these years, that his dad was the good guy. He never knew that it was his father who kidnapped him and kept him on the run.

Picture
​Nick Pearson is hiding in plain sight…My name isn’t really Nick Pearson. I shouldn’t tell you where I’m from or why my family moved to Stepton, Virginia. I shouldn’t tell you who I really am, or my hair, eye, and skin color. And I definitely shouldn’t tell you about my friend Eli Cruz and the conspiracy he was about to uncover when he died— right after I moved to town. But I’m going to.
