You & Me at the End of the World
by Brianna BourneThis is no ordinary apocalypse...Hannah Ashton wakes up to silence. The entire city around her is empty, except for one other person: Leo Sterling. Leo might be hottest boy ever (and not just because he's the only one left), but he's also too charming, too selfish, and too much of a disaster for his own good, let alone Hannah's.Stuck with only each other, they explore a world with no parents, no friends, and no school and realize that they can be themselves instead of playing the parts everyone expects of them. Hannah doesn't have to be just an overachieving, music-box-perfect ballerina, and Leo can be more than a slacker, 80s-glam-metal-obsessed guitarist. Leo is a burst of honesty and fun that draws Hannah out, and Hannah's got Leo thinking about someone other than himself for the first time.Together, they search for answers amid crushing isolation. But while their empty world may appear harmless . . . it's not. Because nothing is quite as it seems, and if Hannah and Leo don't figure out what's going on, they might just be torn apart forever.

You Wouldn't Want to Work on the Great Wall of China! (You Wouldn't Want To...)
by Jacqueline Morley David Antram David SalariyaYou're a poor farmer living in China around 215 B.C. With plenty of things to worry about— bad weather, poor crops, and big taxes to pay— you've barely noticed the political upheavals taking place around you recently. A few years ago, China as one nation did not exist. The land was divided between rival states who had been fighting each other for centuries. But now a really strong ruler from the state of Qin has emerged. He has united the country and called himself Qin Shihuangdi, which means "First Great Emperor of China." He is ruthless and cruel. No one dares to disobey his orders and he does not care how many people die carrying them out. You are one of the unlucky thousands he sends to build a huge defensive wall 1,800 miles long on China's northern border. It's known as the Great Wall of China and it's still there today.
