"A rousing tale about a young woman coming to terms with an unresolved past." -Kirkus ReviewsFor fans of Alechia Dow and Pittacus Lore comes Leeta Simtar: A Life on Two Planets-the latest book from young adult author Annie Fox about an interspecies hybrid looking to find herself on a new planet. A coming-of-age story that explores the meaning of birth family and found family, Leeta Simtar shows readers how breaking out of the past can help us figure out where we're going next. Leeta Simtar isn't the only interspecies hybrid on the planet Fure, though she is, without a doubt, noticeably different from all the others. Not only is she impossibly tall and wildly unpredictable, she leads with her feelings, in contrast to everyone else's steady calm and logical demeanor. When Leeta's offended, she rages and attacks. When something touches her deeply, she gushes and weeps. No wonder she has always believed something's wrong with her, because clearly, she doesn't belong on Fure. When Leeta suddenly finds out that what she's believed about herself is a lie, she is more than ready to discover the truth. Since no one on Fure is talking, her only hope is to go rogue and find her own answers. She travels forty light years in search of others like herself-assuming there are others. With just eight days to unearth her origin story, Leeta follows clues that lead her across time and space hoping to find where she truly belongs. Readers of young adult science fiction, speculative/what-if fiction, and coming-of-age stories will connect to Leeta's intergalactic adventure. They'll be rooting for her to get what she needs, whether that means returning to Fure armed with the truth, staying in a far away place with her new found family, or finding home within her own heart.

They say it was suicide, but Nicole knows damn well she didn't kill herself and won't take this lying down.16-year-old Nicole, high school drama queen (onstage and off), dies and finds herself on Substation Fifteen, an afterlife campus for teenage suicides. She can't, for the life of her, remember how she died, but she's sure it wasn't by her own hand. In thirty days Nicole faces the all-important Evaluation. If she can't piece together the mystery of what actually killed her she won't be moving on. Her only route to uncovering the truth is a fact-finding trip to Earth, beginning at her own funeral, where the facts she finds may be harder to piece together and accept than death itself. Our journey unfolds simultaneously "up there" in Substation Fifteen and in Northern California, told by three, first-person teenage narrators: Nicole's best friend, Isabel, a germaphobic young witch with undeniable gifts; Nicole's romantic rival, Cassie, a tough girl hiding heartbreaking vulnerability; and Nicole "Dead Girl" herself, whose adoring single dad raised her on abundant love and one really big lie. This tale of hope and redemption will appeal to fans of afterlife storylines like 13 Reasons Why, If He Had Been With Me, and The Lovely Bones.

For fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and We Were Liars comes a tale of redemption from YA author Annie Fox. True friendship is put to the test when Nicole's untimely death leads to more questions than answers. Sixteen-year-old Nicole had enough on her plate already between navigating the ups and downs of friendship with her witchy best friend Isabel, competing with her romantic rival Cassie, and flirting with her crush Alex, a.k.a. Cassie's boyfriend-and now she's dead. They say it was suicide, but Nicole knows she didn't kill herself and will do whatever it takes to prove it. When Nicole wakes up and finds herself on Substation Fifteen, a special plane of existence for teen suicides, she must accept the fact that she is no longer alive. Nicole has zero memory of dying, but she's convinced she didn't take her own life and doesn't belong here. Her only path to uncovering the truth is a journey through a minefield of secrets and lies, beginning at her own funeral. The clock is ticking while she tries to figure out a way to communicate from beyond the grave with Isabel and Cassie. Both girls know much more about Nicole's Last Day than they're willing to admit-but ultimately, the facts Nicole finds may be harder to piece together and accept than her death itself. A story of family and friendship, the supernatural, and high school drama, The Little Things that Kill shows readers the impact of the small choices we make every day in our lives (and afterlives).
