• The Forbidden Book by SACHA LAMB. One night, 17-year-old Sorel leaps from a window and runs away from her wedding — and her life. To keep from discovery, she takes on the male identity of Isser Jacobs — but it soon becomes clear that there is a real Isser Jacobs, and people want him dead. Her mistaken identity takes Sorel into the dark underworld of her small city, and in order to make it out, Sorel must discover who Isser Jacobs really is — and who she wants to be.
  
  
• Everything Glittered by ROBIN TALLEY. It’s 1927 and prohibition has done little to temper the roaring 20s nightlife, and seventeen-year-old Gertrude and her best friends Clara and Milly are determined to get a taste. When they return to their seminary after sneaking out to a speakeasy, they discover that their controversial young headmistress has been murdered, and Gertrude and her friends set out to clear her name. With so many secrets coming to light, can Gertrude conceal the attraction she feels for her best friends?
