A Really Awesome Mess
by Brendan Halpin Trish CookA hint of Recovery Road, a sample of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, and a cut of Juno. A Really Awesome Mess is a laugh-out-loud, gut-wrenching/heart-warming story of two teenagers struggling to find love and themselves. Two teenagers. Two very bumpy roads taken that lead to Heartland Academy. Justin was just having fun, but when his dad walked in on him with a girl in a very compromising position, Justin's summer took a quick turn for the worse. His parents' divorce put Justin on rocky mental ground, and after a handful of Tylenol lands him in the hospital, he has really hit rock bottom. Emmy never felt like part of her family. She was adopted from China. Her parents and sister tower over her and look like they came out of a Ralph Lauren catalog-- and Emmy definitely doesn't. After a scandalous photo of Emmy leads to vicious rumors around school, she threatens the boy who started it all on Facebook. Justin and Emmy arrive at Heartland Academy, a reform school that will force them to deal with their issues, damaged souls with little patience for authority. But along the way they will find a ragtag group of teens who are just as broken, stubborn, and full of sarcasm as themselves. In the end, they might even call each other friends. A funny, sad, and remarkable story, A Really Awesome Mess is a journey of friendship and self-discovery that teen readers will surely sign up for.Releases simultaneously in electronic book format (ISBN 978-1-60684-364-2)

A Really Weird Summer
by Eloise Jarvis McgrawMargaret K. McElderry Books' description: They never discussed the divorce, the Anderson children. Twelve-year-old Nels, the oldest, knew it was on Stevie's mind, but he wondered if Jenny and Rory, the two youngest, even grasped what was going on while the four of them put in the lonesome days at the strange old Inn that was home to their great-aunt and uncle. It was exile to them, with no friends, no swimming, no parents-not even yelling, fighting parents. Maybe never two parents again, Nels kept thinking. Then one morning he discovered a long-unused room, glimpsed a mysterious image in a mirror, and found his way into a secret world so secure and happy that the miserable real world Stevie and the others still lived in faded around him. But surely his secret world was real, too? And Alan, his mischievous, puzzling new friend? "What do I mean by 'real'?" Nels finally asked himself desperately-and there came a day of terror when he was driven to find the answer. This sensitively told story of a boy's flight from reality under severe stress is distinguished by its remarkable understanding of children, its skillful characterization and its unusual approach to the contemporary scene.
