The Weirdies by MICHAEL BUCKLEY

Ten-year-old triplets Barnacle, Melancholy, and Garlic Weirdie live in Deadeye Manor, a bleak mansion filled with odd and eccentric guests. But when the grown-ups go on vacation and forget the triplets, they find themselves sent to Our Lady of the Perpetual Side-Eye orphanage under the care of sweet Miss Emily. But these triplets are really and truly weird!

The Experimentby CATHERINE EGAN

It's been only moments since Asher Doyle made an impossible decision — a matter of seconds since he set off a time bomb on the rooftop of the Factory that would change his life forever. At least, it felt like only moments to Asher. But he was wrong.

In reality, twenty years have passed since that fateful night. As Asher wraps his head around all he's lost, he finds himself at the center of an experiment at the hands of his former ally and best friend. It's up to him and a new group of friends to expose what new sinister secrets lie buried at the Factory — if he manages to make it out alive...

Into the Wild Magic by MICHELLE KNUDSEN

Eleven-year-old Bevvy spends more of her time in fantasy novels than she does making new friends. Until new girl Cat arrives at school and whisks Bevvy away into a world full of magic—of unicorns, sorcerers, and dragons! It’s just like something out of Bevvy’s favorite fantasy novels! But it isn’t perfect. This world is at war. Those who wield wild magic, in tune with nature, are pitted against dark sorcerers. As Bevvy’s role in the struggle grows, and her confidence with it, can she trust her new friend Cat to support her? Can she trust herself not to run?

Pasta Girls by TAYLOR TRACY

When Ro and Jules meet on the first night of the San Gennaro Festival, sparks fly…until they learn that their fathers own dueling Italian restaurants across the street from each other. But the more the girls hang out — Ro teaching Jules how to cook; Jules taking Ro to her favorite spots around the city — the more their feelings grow. Can they rewrite the old tale of star-crossed kids from rival families and create a new recipe for love and friendship?
