President of the Anime Club by STEPHANIE EVANGELISTA FUKUDA and DAIGO FUKUDA

It’s the first day of high school, and Cherie is unsure how to find her place. But then she meets Naomi, a fellow freshman and fan of Cherie’s favorite anime. Naomi’s warmth and confidence ignite confusing feelings in Cherie. Their duo becomes a trio when they befriend Miro, a boy in their class with an interest in learning about anime.

Enter Jenny: a charismatic upperclassman and president of the school’s anime club. When she invites the three friends to join, it creates tension between them. As Cherie, Naomi, and Miro deal with complicated feelings, can their special bond survive? And will their love of anime endure?

Too Hot to Tango written by E.E. SALO

This summer, soccer superstar Honey is the coach at an elite sports camp. Life is a game, that game is about winning, and Honey knows the rules by heart—that is, until she meets Teddi, the brusque Australian dance coach at the arts camp across the lake. 

When an inter-camp competition gone awry accidentally lands Teddi’s dance partner with a broken arm, Honey volunteers to step in. With a crucial audition coming up, Teddi has no choice but to accept the offer.

As Teddi teaches Honey the steps, they start to match each other’s rhythm on and off the dance floor . . . but do these opposites have what it takes to tango their way to the top?
