FIG . by Sarah Elizabeth Schantz On Sale April 7, 2015 . Fig’s world lies somewhere between reality and fantasy. As she watches Mama slowly come undone, it becomes hard to tell what is real and what is not, what is fun and what is frightening. To save Mama, Fig begins a fierce battle to bring her back. The problem is that in the process Fig begins to lose herself as well. Spanning the course of Fig’s childhood from age six to nineteen, this deeply provocative novel is more than a portrait of a mother, a daughter, and the struggle that comes with all-consuming love. It is an acutely honest and often painful portrayal of life with mental illness and the lengths to which a young woman must go to handle the ordeals – real or imaginary – thrown her way. .

PALACE OF LIES . by Margaret Peterson Haddix On Sale April 7, 2015 . Desmia discovers the reality of royalty is far from a fairy tale in this third adventure set in the Cinderella-esque world of Just Ella and Palace of Mirrors, from New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix. Desmia and her twelve sister-princesses are ruling Suala together at last, a united front. The kingdom seems to have finally gotten its happily ever after, but Desmia, trained by a lifetime of palace intrigue, is not so sure. When then the unthinkable happens, Desmia’s worst fears are confirmed, and she must find the courage to seek out the truth on her own terms – and to determine the course of two kingdoms.

HIT . by Delilah S. Dawson On Sale April 14, 2015 . The good news is that the USA is finally out of debt. The bad news is that we were bought out by Valor Savings Bank, and debtors are the new big game, thanks to a tricky little clause hidden deep in the fine print of a credit card application. Now, after a swift and silent takeover that leaves 9-1-1 calls going through to Valor voicemail, they’re unleashing a wave of anarchy across the country. Patsy is forced to take on a five-day mission to complete a hit list of ten names. Each name on Patsy’s list has only three choices: pay the debt on the spot, agree to work as a bounty hunter, or die. Patsy’s horrified and overwhelmed, especially as she realizes that most of the ten people on her list aren’t strangers. Things get even more complicated when a moment of mercy lands her with a sidekick: a rich kid named Wyatt. The two share an intense chemistry even as every tick of the clock draws them closer to an impossible choice.

IN A WORLD JUST RIGHT . by Jen Brooks On Sale April 28, 2015 . Sometimes Jonathan Aubrey wishes he could just disappear. And as luck – or fate – would have it, he can. Ever since coming out of a coma as a kid, he has been able to create alternate worlds. Worlds where he is a superhero, or a ladies’ man, or simply a better version of himself. That’s the world he’s been escaping to most since sophomore year, a world where he has everything he doesn’t have in real life: friends, a place of honor on the track team, passing grades, and most importantly, Kylie Simms as his girlfriend. But when Jonathan confuses his worlds senior year and tries to kiss the real Kylie Simms, everything unravels. As his worlds collide, Jonathan must confront the truth of his power and figure out where he actually belongs – before he loses both Kylies forever.
