THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY<\/strong><\/a> by Alix Harrow<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.

Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

THE STARS AND THE BLACKNESS BETWEEN THEM<\/strong><\/a> by Junauda Petrus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trinidad. Sixteen-year-old Audre is despondent, having just found out she\u2019s going to be sent to live in America with her father because her strictly religious mother caught her with her secret girlfriend, the pastor\u2019s daughter. Audre\u2019s grandmother Queenie (a former dancer who drives a white convertible Cadillac and who has a few secrets of her own) tries to reassure her granddaughter that she won\u2019t lose her roots, not even in some place called Minneapolis. \u201cAmerica have dey spirits too, believe me,\u201d she tells Audre.

Minneapolis. Sixteen-year-old Mabel is lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to figure out why she feels the way she feels\u2013about her ex Terrell, about her girl Jada and that moment they had in the woods, and about the vague feeling of illness that\u2019s plagued her all summer. Mabel\u2019s reverie is cut short when her father announces that his best friend and his just-arrived-from-Trinidad daughter are coming for dinner.

Mabel quickly falls hard for Audre and is determined to take care of her as she tries to navigate an American high school. But their romance takes a turn when test results reveal exactly why Mabel has been feeling low-key sick all summer and suddenly it\u2019s Audre who is caring for Mabel as she faces a deeply uncertain future.

Junauda Petrus\u2019s debut brilliantly captures the distinctly lush and lyrical voices of Mabel and Audre as they conjure a love that is stronger than hatred, prison, and death and as vast as the blackness between the stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

FRANKLY IN LOVE<\/a><\/strong> by David Yoon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a similar predicament, and so they make a pact: they\u2019ll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks it\u2019s the perfect plan, but in the end, Frank and Joy\u2019s fake-dating maneuver leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love\u2013or himself\u2013at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

PERMANENT RECORD<\/a><\/strong> by Mary H.K Choi<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a year of college, Pablo is working at his local twenty-four-hour deli, selling overpriced snacks to brownstone yuppies. He\u2019s dodging calls from the student loan office and he has no idea what his next move is.

Leanna Smart\u2019s life so far has been nothing but <\/i>success. Age eight: Disney Mouseketeer; Age fifteen: first #1 single on the US pop chart; Age seventeen, *tenth* #1 single; and now, at Age nineteen\u2026life is a queasy blur of private planes, weird hotel rooms, and strangers asking for selfies on the street.

When Leanna and Pab randomly meet at 4:00 a.m. in the middle of a snowstorm in Brooklyn, they both know they can\u2019t be together forever. So, they keep things on the down-low and off Instagram for as long as they can. But it takes about three seconds before the world finds out\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

THE GIRL THE SEA GAVE BACK<\/strong><\/a> by Adrienne Young<\/strong><\/p>\n

For as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her as one who can cast the rune stones and see into the future. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east bury their age-old blood feud and join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse.

For the first time in generations, the leaders of the Svell are divided. Should they maintain peace or go to war with the allied clans to protect their newfound power? And when their chieftain looks to Tova to cast the stones, she sets into motion a series of events that will not only change the landscape of the mainland forever but will give her something she believed she could never have again\u2014a home.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
