The Lie Tree
Frances Hardinge
(Amulet)
Set in 19th-century Britain,
Hardinge’s eerie and elegantly
written tale accompanies intelligent but stifled Faith Sunderly and
her family to their new home on a
remote island, where murder, scientific disgrace, the restrictions levied
on women, and a mysterious tree
combine with thrilling results.
My Lady Jane
Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi
Meadows
(HarperTeen)
In a hilarious, gonzo reinvention of the
story of Edward VI and Lady Jane Grey,
a trio of YA authors transports readers to
a version of 16th-century England popu-
lated by shape-shifting humans called
E∂ians. It’s historical fantasy at its most
audacious as Hand, Ashton, and
Meadows swap real-life tragedies for
happily-ever-afters.
My Sister Rosa
Justine Larbalestier
(Soho Teen)
Almost unremittingly tense,
Larbalestier’s chilling study of morality,
psychopathy, and the nature of evil is
narrated by Australian teenager Che
Taylor, whose move to New York City
with his family only heightens his fears
about what his 10-year-old sister,
Rosa—who seems entirely devoid of
empathy—is capable of.
The Passion of Dolssa
Julie Berry
(Viking)
Berry takes readers to 13th-century
France in a lushly written story of heresy,
friendship, and intrigue as she weaves
together the stories of two strong-willed
but threatened young women: Botille, a
matchmaker, and Dolssa, a mystic who
is being hunted by inquisitors.
Salt to the Sea
Ruta Sepetys
(Philomel)
Sepetys again demonstrates her skill at
illuminating underrepresented chapters
in human history, rotating among several compelling voices as she turns her
attention to the WWII sinking of the
Wilhelm Gustloff, which killed more than
9,000 people, mostly refugees.
